  20,000 complains for a racial slur, and 5x that amount for being bored with the royal family.
  That does all weirdly check out

    I mean, if the coverage of the royal family was at least 5x the amount they used a slur then that checks out

      The context of the racial slur seems to be that instead of going

      “Viewer Discretion: The following clip contains racial slurs”

      They went

      “Viewer discretion: the following clip features the word n****r”

      And I just don’t know how they cocked it up. But yeah naturally more people saw the royal family thing than the one-off racial slur usage, so I don’t consider it a reflection on our principles
