Hey!

  I was excited to join this jam. I was going to make a naughty pony game (I have gotten pretty good at drawing ponies recently). I will not. I can not!

  A friend of mine has brain damage. He is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. He is a writer. He writes about bowling, school buses, Teletubbies, professional wrestling, music, air raid sirens and driving dogs. He has a lot of interests, and despite his flaws, he has written genuinely great things. When you used the word "retarded" in a derogatory way, it upset me. I have known him for over a year, and I have more bad things to say about you than him.

  I will not enter the jam until you remove the offensive remark. Thank you.

retarded is just a normal word that has been used by people forever.
you have gotten upset over my use of vocabulary, you have taken offense for your friend when I never even spoke to them.

if you cant handle the use of the word retarded in a joking sense, I dont think you are old enough to participate in the gamejam or play my games.
Good luck and safe travels to you!

  In his bit on soft language, Geore Carlin's says cripple is a perfectly dignified word. I agree with him. The thing is you did not use "retarded" in a dignified way. Ghetto is a perfectly fine word. Do you see why saying "This jam has no theme becasue themes are ghetto." would be a problem?

  I am genuinely asking. I truly want to know. Why is this so important to you?

This jam is a little more off the rails than the other jams and you choose to get upset over a gradeschool petty word. I feel like youre throwing stones in your own glass house here.

First : Did you read what I said? I said the words they used are not the problem it is the way they used them. They are being disrespectful. It does not matter what kind of jam they are hosting they are still being a jerk.

Second: I didn't choose to get upset. I don't have complete control over my emotions. I am sorry for being human. When I see someone being mean it does make me upset. I tried to explain myself and be as nice as possible while also letting them know they were being mean. They chose to be dismissive. When I tried to follow up an continue the conversation they chose to ignore me. They chose to mock me in a reply to you rather than have an earnest conversation with me or just remove the one word. They are choosing to keep the word despite the fact I told them, in detail, why it is disrespectful. You can side with them if you want. I don't know why you would want to.

Since they refuse to answer me I want to know why defending their specific use of the word is important to you?

Bro youre into pony fucking. You are avsolutely choosing to get offended while you actively fetishize things most people find repulsive. 

try to be a tad more self aware that youre literally picking fights for no reason
