"Hate Speech"

[TomilovSenya]

So recently I used the infamous word "n***a" which is freely used in various GTA games and most gangsta rap lyrics, just to be warned and temporarily banned for "Hate Speech" or something like that. Obviously it wasn't used as a slur of some kind. I mean, even Twitter doesn't do that...

It's still a slur just because you used a abbreviated version of the N word doesn't mean it's any better and not a slur, Doesn't matter if it's used in Games or Rap music you don't say it. it's not yours or my word to use and even using the abbreviated version of is still a slur regardless of how you meant it, you simply don't say it and that's why Twitter is so toxic at least this forum cares about their uses and want to help stop offensive material that can hurt people from people posted.

Hate speech is entirely based on the context where the said word has been used and if it really is hateful.

Anyway buddy. I am a proud black man and hereby give you an unlimited pass on the word. If anybody complains on why you are using the word, just redirect them to my post here.

I know there is a difference between the slur and the slang version of this word, but context and the way you are using it is everything, therefore I personally agree you probably shouldn't have been warned for your post as it looks like you're just making some kind of joke about the language in GTAO? It doesn't really make sense to me though so I can understand why it was viewed negatively by the staff member involved. It's also inappropriate to use unless you're part of the Black community, and regardless of whether you are or not, you should probably re-think your words in future when trying to make such jokes on a forum where they can be easily misinterpreted.
