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.
I hope the person who used that word is a part of those bannings.
It wasn’t willfully offensive, though. He just used R in lieu of, say, the word idiot.
But is it really acceptable to do that? The more I think about it, the more I think the term just shouldn’t be used at all.
People over there are all comparing the r-word to the n-word—while I understand the need to try not to be offensive, the r-word is not omgwhattheheckdidyoujustsay levels of offensive that’s worthy of instaban—despite it hitting a sensitive chord for some people.
Did the guy even get a warning for using the r-word?
