The word "penis" should be filtered

Publication par Laihendi

To many wowhead users, that word is offensive and simply isn't appropriate for a site that is supposed to keep things rated PG. Laihendi's little sister is 11. There is nothing stopping her from going to this website, clicking on a thread or something, and seeing something as traumatic as the word "penis" on her screen.

Who are you to say that just anyone should be able to go somewhere on the internet and see the word "penis"? Did you even consider what kind of problems this causes for the parents of young children? You are allowing young children to be exposed to the word "penis" when they aren't ready to deal with the impact it will have on their lives. That shows extreme irresponsibility on your part.

When a little girl asks her mom and dad what a "penis" is, years before she should have any interest in them, it just starts the whole cycle way too early. It starts with her asking what a "penis" is. Then she starts looking them up on google. Then she starts getting guys to show them to her. Before you know it, you have 8 year old girls having sex, and it's YOUR fault.

Wowhead, do what you know is right. Filter the word "penis".

*Cough* Look, its not a TRAUMATIZING TERRIBLE WORD, its a body part.

Because young girls shouldn't know about the word "penis" until they are mature enough to handle the impact it will have on their lives. Wowhead is morally obligated to put its foot down, and say no to the word "penis". It can't just be used willy-nilly, when there are young and innocent people around the world using this site.

Seriously. Are you really serious? I mean, I've heard of sheltered and protective but... that is ridiculous.

The first time I heard the word damn it didn't impact my life.

And I never see the word penis! WHERE HAVE YOU SEEN THAT WORD!

But the point is, that's ridiculous. If a girl hasn't heard the word penis and goes to a public school, something is wrong.

And this isn't a PG community, its PG-13.

Before you know it, you have 8 year old girls having sex, and it's YOUR fault.

Is that even a form of logic?

I am against cussing, but heard bad words throughout school.

It's a PG-13 community. And the forum rules clearly state as such. 11-year-olds should be on here, and if they are, it's at their own risk.

This might be a PG-13 community, but in the world of the internet, there's nothing stopping people under the age of 13 from using this site. How are they supposed to know that they are entering a site where the word "penis" can just be thrown around whenever someone wants?

It is wowhead's moral duty to filter the word "penis" to help preserve the innocence of the youth of the planet.

haha

She should also take penis and #$%^&* out of the filter, since it interferes with discussions here.

Woah, penis is out of the filter...

PENIS

a tad self contradicting no?If anything, that proves Laihendi's point on how casual this site is with a word as powerful as "penis". Even Laihendi found himself casually using it. Laihendi is sorry for this, but you can't just hold that against him.

Before you know it, you have 8 year old girls having sex, and it's YOUR fault.
by that logic if I use the term biceps hundreds of hundreds of people will head to the gym right?If that is true, then good, it will help people be healthy, but that doesn't make using the word "penis" any less serious.

He's having you on you foolish bunch, but don't let that stop you.

And I'm still unsure whether you're trolling or not.

He's not trolling; there's nothing inherently wrong with posting in bad faith if it's humorous, and in this case it certainly is. (For me, at least!)

Why are you talking in third person?

Publication par Laihendi

Are you truly referring to the word "penis" or is this a lightly veiled way of pointing out the filter on "cock" is no longer in place?

There is nothing wrong with the word cock. That is not an inherently sexual word. The word "penis", however, is inherently sexual, and should be filtered to preserve the sexual innocence of the young people who use the internet.

And that's your sister's fault for going places she shouldn't. That's your parent's fault for allowing her unrestricted internet access. It's not Wowhead's fault.
