Okay, I am going to change my opinion to '''slight support''', assuming that the terms stated on this page are as far as things will go. I still don't fully trust the administration to properly decide what counts as too offensive or not, especially since two admins used their "executive authority" to enforce censorship, when, as demonstrated by this talk page, the issue was not a clear open and shut case at all, in addition to how the entire administration except for OT banded together to oppose me when I spoke out about it. I agree with the above posts that administrators alone should not be able to determine what counts as acceptable language. The consensus seems to be that the rapetent case is small enough for us to ignore, and I won't fight against that. However, there is a non-zero chance that an offensive enough term will surface and become too big to ignore, and we need to be careful about applying this policy in those circumstances.

:"''in addition to how the entire administration except for OT banded together to oppose me when I spoke out about it.''"
:It seems you are misinterpreting the opposition towards you—it was more directed towards your refusal to condemn usage of the term "rapetent", rather than any mindset you had on censorship. Quite frankly, I don't think any admin is necessarily "pro-censorship", and I don't think any admin actually commented on you being anti-censorship (besides OT, who was not in opposition). Let the record show that I too am anti-censorship, while still understanding that there are things that flat out shouldn't be said.
:"''I agree with the above posts that administrators alone should not be able to determine what counts as acceptable language.''"
:From the start, this was never the idea, so I'm not sure where you got that? SmashWiki has never been "the admins alone make these decisions", even though [[SW:ADMIN#...but administrators are still administrators|we, albeit rarely, still might have such cases]], but this isn't ''[[wikipedia:Ninteen Eighty-Four|1984]]''.

== Parody games ==
Are games like Nick All Stars Brawl and WB’s Multiversus allowed to have their own official pages or are they not official enough? [[Special:Contributions/174.55.24.64|174.55.24.64]] 23:19, May 25, 2022 (EDT)
:No. They aren't official at all because they aren't made by Nintendo, they are made by other companies. We cover ''Smash'' and that's it. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 23:24, May 25, 2022 (EDT)
