I like how everyone is concerned about the trans slurs but completely ignores them dropping the n word. Sounds about white for the crowd here I guess

Tbf, I simply didn't see it because I stopped reading halfway through. On the other hand, "tranny" is right at the beginning (and I think somewhere else too), and they seem to intentionally misgender Empress quite a few times, so they stick out quite a lot.

Probably because

The n-word is dropped in a less interesting section of the rant that could feasibly be skipped
It's not a hard R
We don't know the race of the author
The t-slur comes way earlier and is seen on multiple occasions, perhaps prompting a comment prior to finishing reading.

It doesn't make it any less of a slur.
You're right we don't know for sure. But come on, we absolutely all know what fucking race the author of this post isn't.

This is clear and willful culture ignorance and I implore you to give Grand Theft Auto V a casual play as a relevant, reasonably modern, and prevalent example of how this isn't the case.
I'm not in the business of pretending I know someone's physical attributes based on some text. I've had multiple people throughout the years surprise me with info about who they are after literal years of "knowing" them.

Holy fuck I know you did not just say you can say the fucking n word because of GTA. It doesn't matter how many of your favorite rap songs say it. It doesn't matter if your favorite video game says it. You cannot fucking say it. Jesus fuck are we letting the racists just be on these communities now? Get the fuck out of here you racist piece of shit.
