    pro-tip for users who don’t want to be dunked on for “accidental” racism: you can just apologize and say you didn’t know or ask for more information

    Yeah this. There’s just waaaaayyy too many slurs to keep track of, i once mentioned a French cigarette brand and the name turned out to be a slur for Romani people that i wasn’t aware of. It happens. Same with accidentally misgendering somebody, we all make mistakes. When you make it a hill to die on that your slur or misgendering is actually perfectly ok and it’s better to write three angry replies and get banned from the instance than to just spend a few seconds editing something hurtful out, you’re obviously i-think-that
