Does anyone else find the "Dust Bunny" term a bit... 'problematic'? Whenever I see it, I can't help but feel that it is akin to the n-word, or the g-word, the s-word n-word, etc.

You could call them f*** bunnies instead.

I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon

Actually, I believe that making this thread and bringing this issue to everyone's attention has placed me beyond reproach in that area.

Then you're being an idiot.

In fact, I can't help but feel like you're probably trying to set it up to be equivilent to those things, which it clearly isn't, to create hostility around between EVE and Dust players.

The hostility is already there; I'm trying to allow for some common ground to be found between EVE and Dust players by first stopping the EVE players from using slurs.

No... It's the same as calling someone a carebear.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

It is pretty amazing the kind of reactions you get when you question the morality of someone's behavior. It doesn't look like I'll be changing anyone's mind here, but just keep in mind how unfashionable racism became in the span of ~50 years. I'd venture a guess that participation in this "Bunny-Bashing" won't be something you'll be eager to tell your grandkids about.

dehumanizing the enemy is something we do to make... you know... "podding"... easier. human behavior thing.

we're going to find another word, you're fighting the tide.

Adding some censorship and calling them D*** Bunnies really doesn't do any good.

Awesome. A problem doesn't exist, so someone on the forums creates one.

Good job, genius.

Edit: nothing's more disgusting than someone raising the race card when race isn't an issue. You belong in US politics.
