Personally, I’m not wild about the hate speech rule and the total ban on slurs. It’s rather silly that these words can’t be included in a discussion about race or sexuality (or anything else) when they clearly aren’t being used as slurs. If the words aren’t being directed at people in a clearly opprobrious manner, they aren’t slurs.
Posting an unedited Chris Rock video or a clip from a Quentin Tarantino film shouldn’t qualify as hate speech.
