Oddbean new post about login | logout Bought Scrabble , haven't played it in under a decade . Can anyone tell me if this was always in the rule book? #AskNostr https://i.nostr.build/g70l.jpg
I have never played it, but I'd confidently say no. The term "hate speech" hasn't been a thing until recently.
My thoughts precisely. It bothers me because the rule is subject to interpretation .

Well thats precisely it !
And a faggot ought to be a perfectly legitimate word , meaning a bundle of stick-like objects.
Retarded just means occuring later than desired.
Well of course it does, from the french "Tard" meaning late.
Use it in a sentence. In a world of premature ejaculations, strive to be the retarded ejaculator. Sounds like a Troma film. 🤔
I mean , the idea of "hate speech" is a legal concept that varies from country to country , so wouldnt it then depend on which country you're playing in whether or not certain words are permitted?
Is this a video game version or a physical version ?
Physical
This is from my copy purchased in the late 2000s. No mention of hate speech. https://image.nostr.build/925acd05716628a4a7adb76af15469b427ef497983009bae6255669c77ad701e.jpg
Thank you! So that's that then. We're politicizing board games now . Fab.
I guess those are the new official rules for competitive play, though it would be beneficial if they listed the source of who defines what speech is considered hate.
My thoughts exactly. Seems strange to marry the rules of a board game to a legal framework though. It's very 2023 it has to be said.
makes me want to play it just to make a game "hate speech only" :D
That was my instant reaction to reading it .
