TheCoon taunts?

[UnknownGhost]

Someone posted taunt banners on all of Absalom and HoH. What's that all about?

I dunno but the term is a racial slur where I live. Reported it and I would just as soon not give whoever it is any more exposure than absolutely necessary.

It's the kingdom name and there is a person with that nick here. Doubt they will do anything about it given it's not racially motivated afaik.

lol someone needs to take a chill pill.
The Coon as in raccoon...hence the black strip over the eyes and the raccoon tail. Don't be so uptight I think it is very funny and entertaining and kudos to Mr Mysterious, who is also supporting the game by paying for the taunts :)

Yep. Figure folks can get upset once companies like Christian Mingle start posting their ads as taunts.

Perhaps if you did some fact checking first before hitting the report button you would know I am sometimes known as TheCOON on irc and TheCOON is also a well liked character on a well known TV program.

Next age TheCOON fights for past injustices and TheCOON is also recruiting trusted allies to help fight past injustices.

TheCOON will use any and all means to achieve this goal. If you had also read more closely to TheCOON's taunt you would have noticed TheCOON said "TheCOON accepts no responsibility for what he says or does".

TheCOON will be putting up more taunts to finnish off the top 10 as soon as his hangover has subsided.

I don't care what name you go by. In most of my country, your name is an offensive racial slur. You can say anything you like about your intentions but that doesn't change the history of the word and its use.

comon drixx. we have a cheese called coon in australia (i assume thats where you are from as well). it aint an offensive word unless directed as such. stop being so p.c. and get over it.

I signed up for the forums just so I could agree with this. Also, I wish TheCOON best of luck, looking forward to hopefully see something interesting next age :D

It does, in fact lets take a great example. We all know the swastika right? In Europe its a shunned symbol but in most parts of Asia its a perfectly fine symbol and used well. Its all about context and culutural history.

Fascinating

And the cultural history that I've been on the receiving side of finds the word offensive. Also, I thought it was a bit over the top when whomever this yahoo was came and found me and harassed me on IRC. I'm probably not a very good investment of his time, but his behavior demonstrates that his intentions are not all pure and innocent like he would like you all to believe.

Oh ffs drop the p.c crap Drixx .. Stop being a precious little one and grow up, not everything is an insult. It's people like you that get me so wound up .. You're the only one here complaining and making a fuss about it ..

Sue Coon cheese for racism. I was born in South Africa and I don't take the least bit of offense at the word.
