The funny thing is, the word was already banned, as per the "Civil Discussion ONLY" rule on the sidebar. There was no reason for a thread to be made warning people that they're not allowed to use the N-word here, directing it at all users with an accusatory and threatening tone despite acknowledging that the word is primarily if not entirely being used by shills.

Now, actual users expressing concern regarding this oddly specific warning and wondering if it's the beginning of a slippery slope (e.g. if you say anything negative about the Rothschilds or George Soros it's antisemitism), are being straw-manned as racists and shills. Few if any are advocating for being allowed to use the N-word, as they were not previously using the word anyway.

To reiterate my point from the other thread, it would've been far better for the mods to make a post informing us about the uptick in shill activity and that they're currently trying to make us look bad by using the N-word, so we should report anyone we see doing that. Instead, we got phrases like "I shouldn't have to say this," and "Stop it, or else," as if everyone here were suddenly spouting racist slurs.
