It's a shame the r-word is offensive because it's a funny word, especially when The Monarch used it.

the r-word rolls off the tongue so well it's annoying how it isn't allowed to be used as banter

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

Edit: short answer is for every one reference to a bundle of sticks used to start fires, there's a billion hateful usages of the word. The people who wanted to use them legitimately can find other ways to express their idea on off topic sites where one is not expecting to have advanced chemistry discussions.

If you have a grease fire, do not use water, use baking powder. It makes a much better fire retardant.

I'm not I'm pointing out GameFAQs hypocrisy. My friend is a short person and he would be offended if someone called him the M word. Hell, I'm pretty sure Peter Dinklage could beat up 3/4 of CE

one makes more sense as an insult than the other.

I don't know why they're being equated ITT, though. any term can be used in a derogatory way if that's the intent.

but when people try banning the usage of words based only on "it hurts people's feelings," we hit a slippery slope.. like here on GameFAQs. where calling out a racist for their overt racism is considered worse than actually being racist.

Well I think it's because the r word is considered more offensive over here. Kind of like how you can say "bitch", but you can't say the c-word(Calling someone a bitch id still flaming, however).

The m-word in this case isn't considered as offensive, likely because it's not intended to be nor is it used insultingly nearly as much as the r-word.

How often a word is used as an insult had a factor be cause you get a warning even if you mention the word "autism" without the slightest bit of malice, because childish people over use it as an insult.
As for what constitutes a word being 'more offensive'....

Well hell if I know. It's a culture thing.

Go to Scottland. Apparently it's used far more casually there?
