If you think it's a good idea, I am happy to do so?

It's honestly a good idea tbh
What you put in GD is the public face of the site and given where that thread will go, etc.

Also tbh there are people who opt out of SE specifically to get away from threads like that and their ensuing responses.

I am saddened that this has come to pass.

What is the replacement word that I should use?

"Eliminate" is silly.

We have settled on "Cancel."

This would be a

brave stand to take

if it had been made ten years ago. Making it

now

is obviously a concession and not any kind of stand at all. I accept the concession because I guess it's good for the site to continue existing.

Problem solved.

I doxxed Albert B. Rampage last night and discovered he is problematic! We need to cancel him today.

VOTE: Albert B. Rampage

Doctor please protect me tonight.

Planning to exclusively use this terminology in my next game

You are surprised that you can't predict my opinions on all aspects of culture war issues based on my believing that black lives matter?

I will. I'll do so by not giving power to words that didn't have much in the first place.

I'm saying I'm surprised that somebody with a BLM avatar would consider using another term besides the one that became famous as a way to extrajudiciously kill black people to be a "concession" and therefore bad, yeah.

Careful, that word has deep importance to certain religious groups. You have to be careful not to hatespeak.

Most slurs I'm aware of don't have a legitimate utility within a language that has little to nothing to do with any sort of prejudicial or discriminatory views. I'm also not aware of a particularly large sum of slurs, however.

I don't expect a nerd like you to understand etymology anyways.
