A lot of authoritarian bigots in this thread trying to control free speech.

I tune these things out the same way I've tuned out the nutty left's crusade against the straight white male. If you care so much about the things people say, you're going to have a bad time in life. When people start acting on their prejudices, that's a better time to react. Also, inb4 the lock.
To all the whiners crying about racism:
There is a difference between being an edgy dipshit using bad words and a person who genuinely is a racist. I know that violates all of the things you've read on Twitter or were taught in your super progressive sociology course. I know edgy kids that use gamer words and I know people who genuinely hate other races. They are completely different types of people with clearly different morals and beliefs. You can always sit on your high horse and say "YOU SHOULDNT SAY THOSE WORDS YOU GOD DAMN NAZI". Sure man, whatever, I bet you cried when Eminem called people f-words. Grow up and learn to differentiate.
I'd love to see what you paragons of morality would do IRL if one of your bro's jokingly used a gamer word. I bet you would just stand up and demand that they apologize and virtue signal all over his ass. It's always triggered ass white kids getting the most upset over words.
"Man is his own star. His acts are his angels, good or ill, While his fatal shadows walk silently beside him."-Rhyme of the Primeval Paradine AFC 54
You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."

Anyone defending using racist terms also thinks standing on a ledge in a game and saying to someone "Lets jump like Reckful" is funny.
Racist people play world of warcraft. Definitely needed an article to inform us of that.
ORRRR....
We can make a stand, root at all forms of racism and actually force these types of people out of society. These attitudes have no place in a western democracy whether you live in Alabama or Brussels. It's time for jail time. Don't like it? How about after being bashed by the cops and then dragged off to jail. Racism should have been gone by now. I call for violence to solve it.
Punishing speech is not a good idea, its very abusable, considering you have no idea about their group dynamic. If there was 10 dudes just calling each other the n-word without any of them getting bullied, who cares? Its not the peak human conversation and its the actions of some edgy teenagers, but that doesn't mean they should be banned/punished if they are not actively harassing/bullying people. Its a very slippery slope, since racism is such a mallable term nowadays, where you can be a "racist" or a "nazi" on pretty much anything if the other side despise you. It's just a pointless wicth hunt, UNLESS they are actively harassing people, then its another story.
Considering discord server can be left, its not like you have the be there. If I join a discord channel and the second i spent some time there a dude start yelling the n-word, I simply leave it. I don't fucking dm some dude to get him banned or something, who the fuck cares?

This is where you miss the point. Video games and the internet are a place for people to be stupid and hide behind an avatar which is why people freaking out over virtual avatars saying gamer words is funny. Obviously nobody is going to act like a troll or edgelord IRL, at least in a workplace setting. Go read youtube comments, or hell even this thread. The internet is where people are at their worst and say shit they would never say IRL. So stop getting all bent out of shape because somebody dropped a bad word.
