The full title is, “The terms simp, virgin, and incel will all be banned on Twitch when used as insults,” which adds some nuance. But it’s interesting because now apparently the intent behind the usage matters. Maybe it’s not so easy always figuring out the intent but I suspect censoring those words even when not used as insults won’t be missed too much. Every generation adds its own curse words and prevents them from future use, the English language will go on.
Thank you.
Dang told us not to editorialize titles less than 24 hours ago too!
I think it would be interesting to know what was the moment that broke the camels back, and who made that decision at Twitch. Would like to have seen that team meeting.
Virgin?! Everybody from the Pope to Richard Branson is going to wonder WTF was the reasoning behind that rule.
