Are you okay with a user being able to use Steam Gifts while having Dindu Nuffin in their avatar and Steam user name?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I didn't add a poll because I don't want people hiding behind anonymity.

I didn't even knew that "dindu nuffin" was considered offensive, I thought it was just some dumb meme. That's the thing about policing the names users use here, how can you be sure it wasn't just a kid with little tact that thought it was funny? Tolerance through intolerance to the intolerant is not real tolerance, it's just a mind fuck of an approach.

I don't care how old the user is. Don't tolerate it. Tolerance is overrated. Shit doesn't work. Racist love when you tolerate them because then they never have to change.

But you're fighting violence with violence, all you're going to get is a new problem replacing the current one. It's easier to just ignore them and push them into a corner untill they learn to behave properly, giving them attention just causes them to feel encouraged.

Who said anything about violence? No where did I say to physically hurt anyone. I use my words as my weapons. Ignoring them also doesn't work. They are roaches. They hide in the dark and multiply, until you turn the lights on.

I couldn't possibly care less. Its just a username/avatar and people who get offended over it should find better things to do with their life. The only ones I have a problem with is the ones that are an direct attack to someone, but even then not many fucks are given.

Not caring about other peoples usernames/avatars ≠ only caring about yourself but ok.

I meant that more as of if I know the person I will tell them about it and if there an easy way to report it (like Steam) I will, but other than that I won't bother with or lose sleep over it since there is nothing I could really do anyways. Man I could have worded that sentence so much better. I will blame it on 3am.

If you're offended by that, it's understandable. But, you should also understand, that this is the Internet - huge spam of ideas and thoughts from different countries, different cultures. What's ok for one, is triggering for the other. Some people might not be intentionally racist, just ignorant.

I linked the user in one of their troll threads the same thing you can read. They know what they are doing.

You can report users for "Inappropriate behavior". That's as far as your powers can reach. Unless you're trying to push for stricter moderation. Anyway, it's not just U.S., it's the whole world on the Internet. There are more people that don't care, than sjws.

Support did nothing. I'm here to find the line. Yes, I want stricter moderation. If someone wants to post their shitty memes, reddit or 4chan are only a few clicks away.

I didn't add a poll because
I want to directly contradict and/or argue with anyone who replies that doesn't implicitly agree with me directly, which I can't do with poll results.

Honestly, I think someone like that doesn't belong on Steamgifts. The racist meme is just a small part of the bigger problem, which is his overall attitude and self. I would not want someone like that winning my giveaways.

while his icon/username choice does fall under freedom of speech, keep in mind that it's a two way street and people can just as easily use their freedom of speech to say it's tasteless or unfunny. Or use their freedom to blacklist him.
