Project:Policies specific to slurs

From lgbtDB
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Use of, and reclamation of, slurs pervades much of LGBTQ+ history and culture. With that in mind, slurs may be included in some items and lexemes for historical and community context ONLY. Slurs should NEVER be utilized outside of very specific contexts and NEVER towards individuals or groups. lgbtDB adheres to the wikibase.cloud terms of use, which are quite clear regarding prohibited content:

Hate speech (including content that incites hatred or promotes violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status or sexual orientation/gender identity), harassment, bullying or similar content that advocates harm against an individual or group

Unfortunately, there is not currently a way to apply specific content warnings for individual pages. There may be a way to do this in the future, however. For the time being, this should be considered a general content warning regarding slurs across the entire database.
