The Great N-Word Crisis

The Great N-Word Crisis is a political crisis that occurred on the "Jag's Server Thing" Discord Server in the latter half of 2019.
It was caused by Jag banning use of the n-word on the server and ended in a revolution spearheaded by dx, Psychic, and Tera.

## History

*Specific timeframes may vary slightly, as no comprehensive records were kept of the events, and only the currently existing messages on the server can serve as evidence.*

The crisis began on 25/7/2019, when Tera was dissatisfied with the presence of the bot "Dyno" on the server.

Initially, his movement didn't gain much traction, even causing a feud with his fellow server member Patrick.

Later, however, when he wrote his famous copypasta on 1/8/2019, he started gaining a following for his cause, notably with dx and Psychic. The copypasta called Jag out for being paid by Dyno behind the scenes and exposed the largest corruption scandal in the server's history. Jag continues to deny the accusations to this day, saying he was never paid by the owners of Dyno and that all his actions were of his volition.

The message became a rallying cry for Tera's revolutionary movement and was used as a weapon against Jag. Notable uses include the Battle of the Purge, which happened on the day the message was created. It involved the members of the revolution spamming the message en masse to make their complaints heard to the server owner, Jag. He, unwilling to listen, proceeded to purge all channels of his server of the copypasta.

Several smaller battles followed, however, none were as monumental or influential. The fighting continued for the following months, with Chosen joining the fighting on the revolutionaries' side. It finally ended with Jag conceding and accepting the demands of Tera's faction, removing Dyno from the server on 9/11/2019.

## Factions and Notable Figures

The two factions involved include the conservative establishment and the populist revolutionaries.

The political establishment was led by the server owner Jag, who was allegedly being financed by Dynobot behind the scenes. While Chosen initially supported his side, the opposing side's ideas of the server's future and a general dissatisfaction with Dyno's offerings convinced him to defect.

The revolutionary faction was created by Tera and grew to involve various members within weeks. The most avid supporters of his cause were dx, Psychic, Ant, and later Chosen.

## Background

The main issue dx and Psychic, along with Ant, had with the bot, was that Jag enabled a controversial feature called "automod". This removed any messages with banned words, among them the "n\*gger", "f\*ggot" and, confusingly, "gringo/-a". This then caused the revolutionary faction to rise up in protest, with Ant being especially angered since one of these words is contained in 90% of his vocabulary. This was seen as an infringement to freedom of speech as well as Jag acting like a "snowflake".

The list of banned words grew steadily, as the protesting faction came up with new ways to circumvent it. Eventually, the amount of continuous work this took became overwhelming and the automod was abandoned.
