User:Edu Mabbitt/Userboxes/Japanese Girl[edit]

No encyclopaedic value to this user box, it is quite misogynistic and more apt for some type dating website. —SpacemanSpiff 14:44, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not grossly misogynistic, but on the wrong side of the line, and completely unconnected to editing stuff. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:52, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly inappropriate. But I don't see how a userbox about loving women can possibly be misogynistic (a word which means hating women). People should stop using misogynistic when words such as slightly sexist or racially insensitive are far more accurate and appropriate. Brustopher (talk) 18:37, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Many people feel that sexism is inherently misogynistic (although the reverse, obviously, need not be true). You may not agree with this, but the usage is logically consistent with the belief, and you clearly understand what was meant, so it's probably not worth arguing about.

Delete: there is a faint chance this was well-intentioned, but as a userbox, there is too much potential for abuse. We don't actually have a "Don't Be Creepy" policy or guideline that I can find, but something like this suggests that perhaps we should. Inappropriate, potentially divisive. Not the worst thing I've ever stumbled across, but not something I think we want to keep. Xtifr _tälk 07:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
