It's being put on the censored list. It's sad that it'd have to be though.... it should just not be said.

The fact is, it doesnt matter if people don't WANT these words to be offensive, but they are. You cant control language.

Maybe I'm missing how she used it was wrong...but anyway. yes. PC. too much. Got it.

Btw, I'm an American, not European American. They need a long list of words to sling together for me (quite a few nationalities), but my dad used to tell me that's what makes us Americans...

Yes. Personally, I don't get the people who insist it's their right to say whatever they want, often including mentions of freedom of speech, and then get hysterical when other people use their freedom of speech to say that they were offended. Not because they're actively looking for things to be offended by, but because some random person can't undo a word's history as a means to abuse and denigrate "lesser" groups. Some Japanese people don't mind the word pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~, but that doesn't mean it can't genuinely hurt those who have experienced racism. So if you say it, be prepared for people to have an opinion about it and understand that they're not obliged to be OK with it just because you are.

I didn't know that and now I do. And for a while I thought it might be the opposite.

oh sorry I already assumed it had been censored, I'm really sorry if I offended anyone typing it @___@ I seriously just assumed it, so I thought it'd be okay if it just had the stars...

well at least I helped bring it to the surface that it wasn't censored. Again sorry, I was just using it to prove a point, guess I should have put more thought into my wording.___.
