=== ''The Walking Den'' ===
== Controversy ==
''The Walking Den'' was a series of satirical parody videos directed, edited, and produced by Archer. They featured the profile avatars of members from Disaster Den overlayed onto the faces of characters from various fictional series. Examples include the anime television series [[wikipedia:Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV series)|Fate/Stay Night]] and [[wikipedia:Attack on Titan (TV series)|Attack on Titan]], alongside the film series [[wikipedia:Harry Potter (film series)|Harry Potter]]. Sometimes episodes were tied together with dialogue and plot, while others focused on the comedy of certain member's being personified by the relevant characters and situations.


The series was achieved through the use of [[wikipedia:Key frame|key framing]] and the capitalization of the intended audience's inability to understand Japanese. For an episode with scripted dialogue, the original subtitles of the relevant anime would be removed and replaced with the desired text.

On October 10, 2020 Kira announces that a change relating the rules governing usage of slurs were changed.

The earliest mention of the series was on October 4, 2018 by Archer in the general channel of the Disaster Den Discord. The series concluded on February 23, 2019 with the release of ''The Last of Jason''.
The cited reason for the change was to address users who would use the "in a derogatory manner" provision in a manner that would let them circumvent the rule entirely, and/or justify the usage of the slurs "all the time".

Controversy

Rule change on slurs

On October 10, 2020 Kira announces that a change relating the rules governing usage of slurs were changed. Previously, the usage of "racial, homophobic, transphobic or antisemitic slurs" were only disallowed if used in a derogatory manner. The change made the usage of such slurs, regardless of context, disallowed.[1]

The cited reason for the change was to address users who would use the "in a derogatory manner" provision in a manner that would let them circumvent the rule entirely, and/or justify the usage of the slurs "all the time".

Kira would later comment in the general channel that freedom of speech as a concept was important to them, but that they remained firm in their decision, not wishing a minority to cause prospective members to "shy away".[cn]

Members criticized the change as being a restriction on free speech, referencing the first amendment of the United States constitution.[cn] Others commented that such rights are constitutional to a government in nature, are unrelated to private entities such as Discord, and so no rights are infringed.[cn]
