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. 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.

At a basic level, these words are just words. The things that makes them epithets is how people react to them. If people react to the r-word as much as the n-word, they should be treated the same.
