Did it involve a tuna sandwich?

I can't even say tuna sandwich in my head anymore.

I just got a warning for being sexist.

Apparently it's sexist to call a woman a banana split.
Someone was also banned for 24 hours over making a joke about the Queen having Dianna killed.

Yeah seems just like NeofGaf really, no sense of humour at all. That's why I love GRcade, you can make a risque or tasteless joke and people will either find it amusing or not, but you won't get banned for it.

I don't like the term snowflake, but it could easily apply to most of that forum.

Americans are really weird about the word banana split. Some of them can't wrap their head around it basically being just a standard insult over here.

I sent a PM to the mod and was told I need to be more culturally sensitive and aware, which I find rather ironic given that the warning (and the other users ban) has come about from a lack of cultural awareness.

There's also a few users jumping to my defence 8-)

I saw this :lol:

the c-word is considered kind of like the woman equivalent of a racial insult over in the States. I guess their argument is that they're primarily a US-based site, which I sympathise with, but it does seem like they could stand to loosen up a bit.

An attack on a GRcade forumite (even Laga) is an attack on us all!

But Laga's a banana split?

Oh my word.

I have been a member of GR for over five years now and I’ve only just realised what banana split means :shock:

. I’d thought that gooseberry fool and banana split were both terms for gooseberry fool :lol:

.

I’m probably a bit old-fashioned but I don’t like the term banana split being bandied around. Laga should indeed be banned* :toot:

.

* Not really, Laga. Just a warning

It's not a very traditional dessert to be fair.

You cheeky banana split

Laga: just start typing out 'banana split' on Era when you want to drop a c-bomb. It'll confuse the shite out of everyone but we'll know.

Might do that and see if anyone eventually figures it out :lol:

Most folk on ResetEra (and GAF) forget that life exists outside of America.

I dunno, Maf... sure, many folk do say it but I’m not sure that it’s a commonly accepted phrase. Personally I am not keen on it being used.

Yes, I am of course now ready to hear it non-stop for ninety minutes during Mario Kart Monday tonight :lol:

.

They sell banana split lollipops in Louth.

Lincolnshire has it all I tell you.

After public outcry my warning has now been removed :lol:
