I'm just going to bring these two points up:
 * 1) To my understanding, this has never happened. Disallowing it completely would not make any difference to this community other than providing that security in case the admins were at any time corrupted. Obi has even stated that while he is an admin he won't allow the unanimous veto to happen, so it's not ever going to happen anyways.
 * 2) This is mostly directed at Avalair. These "what ifs" aren't really good reason to justify opposing, but if something like that could happen, the admins are always able to start another community vote to block that word again. It's not unusual for a wiki community to vote for a change and then go back on it later, for one reason or another. Avalair's examples are very extreme and I can't imagine them passing? The fact that Avalair, Slicer, etc think those are bad means they'd oppose them if that kind of community vote were made, so the chances of it passing are already slim to none. The admins wouldn't even have to veto it as the community wouldn't vote for it in the first place.
 * 3) Think about this the other way. Don't think of it as negative. Say there's an emote vote of an emote the community likes, but the admins think is stupid for one reason or another. If the community voted for that emote, would it be fair for the admins to just say "no, we're not going to add it"? That's veering into abuse of rights, as the admins are meant to use their rights to help the community, not their own interests.

Last point is bold as it is applicable to this entire thread.

And @Slicer: This wasn't my idea nor something I brought up, I simply made the vote.
