Okay, I guess it's my turn to write one of these.

The use of the word "mutant" is something many of us –and all of us should– take as seriously as racial and homophobic slurs. I am more forgiving to people for using it than with other slurs, even in my personal life, because public awareness of its severity isn't nearly where it should be.The word is outdated and no longer used by the vast majority of normal people, people with tails, dark ones, librarians, etc. I say "vast majority" in consideration for places that may be lagging behind in this widely dominant cultural shift(I'm guessing the spartan order probably has a lot of rangers dropping the m-words), and/or for other cultures and languages in which the word has a different meaning/translation.With that being said, it is considered the slur that it is *here*, and will be treated as such here. Call me a SJW if you want... I sincerely don't care for the opinion of anyone who uses that as an insult.The purpose of this post is to set a precedent, to spread awareness and to serve as a preliminary warning for anyone who might break this rule.You can be better than this. Be better.EDIT: Yes, this person was banned for saying the m-word.
