Not easily offended

As the title states, I am not easily offended (probably less than most). I also go above and beyond to not offend others. I didnt want this to get lost in the thousands of ppl during the stream.
I'm assuming that you intend on playing SouthPark on air. I just find that odd w all of the over the top raciest things they say in the name of comedy. I admit a lot of what they do is funny. However, that being said, if anyone in chat did something similar to 99% of it they would be banned or in the very least timed out, regardless of the comedic value.
So, just wanted to get Cohh's thoughts and or reasoning.
As a disclaimer I firmly believe that ppl getting banned and or timed out is wholly justified for such behavior.

Allowing profanity and racism for the sake of comedic value in chat would lead to confusion and arguing all over the place. We want to keep the chat and community happy, helpful and respectful. If some degree of profanity and racism, etc. was allowed for comedy value, it would lead to disparity in chat to what to actually acceptable and what crossed the line. That doesnt mean of course that cohh should avoid games with profanity and other controversial themes, since a viewer that dislikes the games theme may just decide to not watch for the time being. Or may just decide to chat without viewing the stream and return when the game is finished.

I get all that. The internet would be a far better place if people could not post anonymously in public venues. Although I am not a sub I wholeheartedly believe he should and will put chat in sub-mode for that game. Anyway, I just wanted to get his 2 cents on the topic and didnt want to have to re-post every few minutes until he read it.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll watch if he plays a South Park game. But if he wants to, I certainly won't make a fuss. I imagine that the chat, full of good vibes as it is, will be remarkably more mature and civil than the game. :P

I think he should play what he wants, I always turn on /localsub (bttv addon) on certain games so there is less spam/spoilers. Matt Stone and Trey Parker always pushes the edge in everything they do so I expect that being offended would be normal for most. If there's a game Cohh plays that I'm not interested, I'll just lurk or not watch at all. In summation, he should play it.
