It isn't a question of opinions, it is undeniably in violation of theme suggestion rules. Since you insist on being deliberately obtuse, I've done you the favor of collecting various sources you can read at your leisure detailing why the term is offensive, culturally appropriative, and in violation of rule 4 as previously stated. I have no intention of arguing with you and hope you will take the time to educate yourself on this matter. Thanks for your time LillyAnn :)

My vote is to suspend the PBFC pending a revision and refinement of the rules!
Suggesting and voting for new themes all too often leads to argument rather than debate and tends to get personal. The rules are designed to protect us from offensive themes and maintain good community values but it seems to me that the rules themselves are a greater source of conflict that the themes that have been proposed. The rules should make clear what is or is not allowed. While some rules are well defined they are being interpreted in a way that was not originally intended while other are wide open to interpretation and too easily used to support claims of offence (whether real or perceived) or violation of community standards. Everybody has different standards and we are not going to agree with each other about everything. But we are a community and so should acknowledge that there are accepted community standards and values (even though we as individuals may not necessarily always agree with all of them all of the time). I think the rules are the source of conflict here. Our personalities won’t change much no matter how much we argue but perhaps we can focus our energies on the rules and changing them. I acknowledge that there has been some really good and honest debate on some issues and not everybody who speaks out has bad intent. I also like to extend my support to the forum moderators who devote their time to representing this community and upholding its standards and who often have to manage contentious and heated forum debate (despite what they may personally think about the matter at hand). In the case of this forum and the arguments that often transpire I think they too suffer as a result of the rules and they get little support and love from the general community for their effort.
Peace and love to you all.
If you have a gun in your hand I won't vote for you and if You're fighting one of theseI won't vote for you either.
