Ok, if I am understanding things correctly, someone described a character in TLJ by using the r-word. It of course pissed off Frink and he responded using the f-word and other things and got temp banned for it. Did the person using the r-word get banned or disciplined at all?
No, and that’s what I think is the real injustice.
I don’t know. I have seen the posts involved in this situation and I can’t cause they are in a spoiler thread and I haven’t seen TLJ yet. As for the r-word. I don’t us it. But it is as offensive as the n-word? I don’t know. I know Frink is very sensitive to it due to his child. Which is understandable. I am sure many other are sensitivity as well. I certainly don’t think it should be used in reference to anyone with mental problems. I think that would definitely be offensive. Apparently Jay doesn’t think the r-word is an offensive slur. I am more leaning on the side that it is offensive. The more I think about it, the more I don’t want to use the term at all.
edit: I posted the above before seeing this post:
Jay has said more bans are likely as he reviews the thread. And he hasn’t even seen the movie yet so he’s spoiling himself in the process.
