I've abstained from inviting a few of my friends in the past because of how in-your-face VC is about its acceptance of slurs, uncomfortable topics, etc. I understand that to many players, VC's freedom is something that makes the server special, but I don't think that removing slurs from community art will really impede this, and for me and many others, it's a welcome change.
The things that people feel the need to debate over in this server have really at times astonished me. At one point, a player refused to stop saying the N word despite SunShine asking them not to, and it felt incredibly uncomfortable to me that this was just... allowed. I've also seen people openly use slurs like tr*nny and f*ggot as non-obviously joking insults to LGBTQ players.
People sending porn to me and openly talking about sex in detail while I was an 11-13 year old also comes to mind. I understand that this is what makes VC fun to many of you, but especially considering that there is no age barrier and I had expressed my discomfort to the subject multiple times, this is awkward to me.
I appreciate that we are making steps to remove slurs and hate speech from community art, but the fact that there is an ongoing debate over this, and that people who dislike it are considered "soft" is ridiculous to me. I personally would love to see more steps made in this direction. VC will most likely never become a child-friendly, uncontroversial, and safe space to those easily offended, if that's what you guys are scared of. But I think there needs to be a minimum of unacceptable that isn't illegality.
