👉 Léo I am confident your question is rhetoric, but I will take the bait. My answer is that ultimately what determines which words or gestures are provocative is the culture in which you are inserted. There can be friction when members of different cultures interact. To avoid friction, we could try to be aware of the conventions in other cultures and (as an act of kindness) try to avoid things that may be offensive or hurtful for other people, so all feel welcome.

🕹️ Andrew Yeah, the connotation is incredibly loaded, so I don't understand why someone would choose any sort of slur as people's first impression of them. The average person knows that most people are just going to dip out right after that, even if you're trying to make a point about censorship.
