Yes. This would be helpful for obvious reasons

Support! I am Asian but you should change it to Chinese(or just keep it with everyone in Asia) because I searched it up on the internet and it said.

“Ching chong” and “ching chang chong” are pejorative terms sometimes employed by speakers of English to mock or play on the Chinese language, people of Chinese ancestry, or other East Asians or Southeast Asians perceived to be Chinese.

Some parts of the community guidelines actually would support your claim.

Saying Ching chong/ching chang chong isn't being respectful to Asians.

Asian is a race.

I think it's reportable but it might work better to blacklist it altogether.

Has it been used on the site enough for a blacklist, I haven't seen it used

dertermenter

have you seen it being used in an inappropriate way?

Also I would use Contact Us if you think it should be censored rather than straight up saying a word you think should be blacklisted.

I've been on scratch for a year and never heard anyone say on various accounts. How many people have you heard say {possible blacklist suggestion] on scratch?

Vibrato

Come on guys, even if it isn't commonly used, it's still a slur. Support for it to be blacklisted.

portalpower

I haven't seen anyone use it but it's probably been used and would save mods time and hurt less people's feeling

that's why I put the crossed out part in the OP

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Making a topic about it is just going to bring knowledge about it, and then people might start using it

Why take action on something that isn't an issue

even if it isn't an issue, it'll solve more problems than it'll cause

Really? This thread is bringing attention to a racist slur that isn't used, yet. Wouldn't that make this thread cause a problem instead

I'd be surprised if nobody's ever said that on scratch, also if this gets implemented, then it will bring attention but it won't be a problem because it's blacklisted

portalpower

what you're saying is by making it so you can't say an offensive slur, people will say it more

MrFluffyPenguins

guys it doesnt matter if you haven't seen it used
just because you personally havent seen it used doesnt mean it shouldn't be blacklisted

gosoccerboy5

Support.
With 'ronavirus making the rounds, certain people, including very certainly prominent political figures have blamed China for the pandemic, and that leads to more anti-Asian racism.

ScratchCatHELLO

Just because it isn't common does not mean it isn't bad. It can still happen, and can be used rudely, so it should be blacklisted.

If this gets used more, there's another reason to blacklist it.
