RE: Can we please stop calling it Reward Pool Rape!

in #steem6 years ago

Well, this is the same guys who also hates to hear the term gay or retarded used in the same manner. This is not appropriate to use "just as an expression" These terms hurt and offend some people, and it's not appropriate just to toss them around for "shock value"

Yes, mikepm74 was right on the money while referring to them as an inflammatory response. I think that's a very accurate way to describe it. I'm guessing it's intentionally used because it has more of a sting to it seeing is it is so inappropriate. I think that reward pool abuse still drives the underling issue without being offensive, but I'm not sure how likely it is to catch on though.
