I’d prefer not to be the Star Wars web site that achieves notoriety for its members’ open use of that word, especially given the current climate. I also don’t want our site to trigger workplace content filters or get cached in search engine results with that content.
Please refrain from using it in the future. We have a pretty lax policy regarding “bad words” here, but sometimes decorum takes precedence over freedom of speech.
You’re just putting the kibosh on saying the word outright, correct? The discussion we are having is still okay right? and saying “n-word” and “n_____” is okay right?
Discussion is okay. Direct use is not, for the reasons I stated. Other methods of referencing the word are fine.
I’ve edited posts to remove its direct use.
