We're slipping into some alternate universe where freedom of speech is being adjusted for our safety.

It's starting with noble causes, like stemming racism and hate speech. But this is one step into a land of control where divergent opinions will be cause for deplatforming.

This is dangerous.

What are you on about mate? This has nothing to do with my point about dictionaries.

This was never about dictionaries or the r-word.

That was always a justification.

Sorry, you don't understand how comment threads work. They are structured like a tree so people can fork off a part of the conversation (if self contained) and discuss that. I chose to discuss the premise that being in the dictionary makes something ok. If I am discerning the premise wrong, or if its not self contained you can point out the connection with the rest of the context.

I do understand. It's that you are basically going off on a pointless tangent.

It's like someone yells "Teh skie is falling". And you are correcting grammar errors. While comets rain down.
