First of all: I appreciate your calm and unemotional response, I really do, this is not the norm online, and my initial comment was quite snarky, so thank you for that.
To the matter at hand: I think you misunderstand me if you think I am stating cencorship (I would rather call it editing, but that’s irrelevant) as the only viable or even my preferred option.
I just think dropping it without context is not the way, a short comment “I condemn/dont like the usage of slurs in this post but left it in for historical accuracy” in the body text would be my preferred way of dealing with it, this would be possible with an edit, no repost needed.
Its okay to not be of the same opinion, especially because I am not being discriminated with the word, my opinion doesn’t matter as much as the oppinion of people actually discriminated against.
If you choose to drop the n-bomb without distancing yourself from it, I will choose to write snarky comments criticizing it, not more, not less.
No bad blood here, I wish u a wonderful day as well :)

this really didnt take very long at all, and my phone sucks. like its a gigantic piece of shit and this was still not remotely challenging. laziness is a pretty lame excuse to be, at best, a useful idiot by normalizing the use of slurs. fix it or fuck off lol

Yeah homie, this was written before I was born, and I scanned and OCR’d it around 20 years ago. Sorry I forgot it contained a bad word, I posted it blindly after the 97 year old lady from 1982 that was thankful for the donated transistor radio.
So what? The joke of a letter is set in the timeframe of the 1930s/1940s or so. So fucking what?
Why not censor everything from the Epstein files while you’re at it.
Oh wait…

racial slurs aren’t “a bad word” you absolute semen sock, they are the currency of dehumanizing the survivors of the white supremacy you are actively enabling. you are whining about people’s reactions rather than simply fixing the problem, which, since i gave you the image, would take far less work, so i can only conclude that your objections are in bad faith, and you simply would rather leave it in. you are the problem.

Oh, so we should censor all the Epstein files too right?
Let’s just erase all history while we’re at it, while the child f***** is still in charge.
Fantastic idea, let’s just erase history.
I didn’t write it, it is what it is.
