One dude said the r-word and I gave it a verbal warning/no vio as I felt the instance wasnt servere enough to warrant a violation, and I have done that in most cases

pretty much unless you actually have a mental disability you won't get offended by being called a r.... much like a white person wouldn't really get offended by being called a n

I can't say "The R Word" on epicmafia but fortunately I can still spam it on literally 95% of the internet where SJW's haven't achieved totalitarianism, thank god.

This poll is a waste of time because EM's target demographic is sheltered white homeschooled kids with tumblr accounts, just FYI.

The R word isn't a slur. If it were, the FCC would moderate it. The FCC is probably more respectable than the EM volunteer janitor squad, imo.

It wasn't hateful comments until the EM SJW party took control of the senate (this year). In fact the r word and autist were so common as insults in competitive games that they're still probably the most used words in site history

I'm not an authority on the usage of ableist slurs on the internet, so I'm just going to wait for everyone to make their arguments ITT and make a reasoned decision afterwards.
