    Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn’t be a list like this.

    Would be a flag for the backend not a full list sent to the client.

      You don’t get your slurs sent via your authentication provider’s “freezepeach-as-a-service” API? Sounds like your app is “woke” smh

      I could definitely see how cotton could be used in some pretty heinous ways, maybe not by definition slurrs, but still. Given the historical context of the United States In particular.
