Please add this word to the banned words list
Yup, completely agree. I’ve already said this in a previous debate about this issue, but if the word “spook” is banned, we pretty much shouldn’t be allowed to use any of the words on this list.
What was that red fruit called again? What kind of animal is a human? Who knows, banned :1984:
there’s a difference here. it’s pretty well understood that it’s a slur.
It’s also pretty well understood that fruit is a slur, when it’s used in that context. This is actually a fantastic example, because there is so little difference between the terms. Both are extremely harmless words with normal meanings commonly used in everyday conversation, with extremely antiquated and niche uses as slurs which some nerds here are for some reason bringing up and dwelling on when the terms are used in a context in which they are obviously not slurs.
Now that I think about it, “red” could be a slur for indigenous people so I’m pretty sure I should be tossed in the gulag for saying “red fruit”
