Should the word "kek" be bannable?

Insanity · 2016-10-04 14:03:42

While this term has originally been used as a substitute for "lol", lately it has risen to mean something much, much worse.

Often times, I'll join levels, and somebody will say "Hey! I hate you keksucker!" In this context, the term "kek" is obviously being used as a substitute for the word dingaling, which is used as a substitute for the word donger, which is used as a subsitute for the word c**k.

Since the term "kek" and "c**k" sound very alike, people are using its common appeal to blatantly swear at and harass other users.

One time, I was playing 100 keks to code and this player said "Go suck a kek" and immediately recieved the code, despite not saying 100 keks. Here in lies the problem.

Obviously, even using euphemisms is against the rules, as saying "heck you" is a bannable offense. Thus, I would like to raise awareness to the issue that the term "kek" be put under similiar scrutiny due to its naturally harmful nature both as a common phrase and an insult.

In addition to the above points, "heck" and "kek" sound very alike which means someone can easily replace them and say things along the lines of "go to kek", or "kek you", both of which are highly, highly offensive and painfully brutal phrases.

We need to enforce the rules, lets make it happen.

Luka504 · 2016-10-04 16:01:31

Kek isn't offensive, it's a deliberate typo of lol, and because of that I can't find it at all offensive if used in an insult.

Regardless, you can't ban every word that sounds like swearing; people will just substitute it with a different one and it'll come to represent the same thing.

Now /q cause I gotta go kek in the bathroom.

ban the word google

Kaslai · 2016-10-04 22:26:59

I find kek to be a lot more satisfying to say and type than lol. It is also a signal to others which indicates that I'm a dank memer.

I don't know why you would possibly think that this thread is not serious....

skullz17 · 2016-10-04 22:58:22

If it's being used as a euphemism, then it should be considered offensive. If it isn't, then it shouldn't be considered offensive.

One answer: YES.

Honestly if you use the word 'kek' I already dont know how you live with yourself, so I dont think we should add a ban to your list of problems.

Even under ten layers of irony and sarcasm, I think there's a point where "irony" simply ceases to be funny anymore because the joke becomes predictable. In this case, you're using the meme "top kek" to mock it "ironically". This is one of the problems I have with "ironic" memes.

All memes tend to be predictable.

It was an old term lost in the cycles of time, however it has re-emerged with the intent of causing global destruction
