ALL POSTSVote to unblock the word "boobs"
<p>I am here today to liberate the word "boobs" from its unfair shackles. There is not really a legitimate reason it's blocked (And no ale, "gutter mentality" does not count). I mean, I guess you could argue it could be abused. But, you must be aware the words "boobies," "breasts," and "boob" (I guess adding an s to the word makes it unacceptable) are all unblocked and I have never seen them abused. And so I say unto you, we are not middle school boys who think the very word will give us cooties, it's time to unblock.
</p><p>A - Unblock
</p><p>B - Keep blocked
</p><p>C - Neutral
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Current_Votes">Current Votes</span></h2>
<p>A) Unblock: 30 votes.
</p><p>B) Keep blocked: 22 votes.
</p><p>C) Neutral: 6 votes.
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Consensus">Consensus</span></h2>
<p>Unblock.

B
(Edited by Avalair)
<p>I vote B...
</p><p>Nothing else nothing more...
</p>

<p>.... kden lol
</p><p>B ofc. How in the world could this be used in appropriate conversation. Like, I don't see how /this/ community could engage in a conversation that would invove this word that would be appropriate. So no. Keep it blocked. For goodness sakes.

I change my vote to B

<p>...
</p><p>B for boobs, I mean for no unblock. If there's a serious conversation to be had about breasts, and that isn't a common occurence, breast can be used. Boobs is too playful of a word and is rarely used outside of a sexualized connotation.

<p>We already have the words Izzy listed unblocked, so it's not like it never gets brought up. This would not cause more conversations involving the word to suddenly come up just because it's unblocked.
