I cant think of a single conversation that would be improved with a hard-R or the above mentioned work being spelled out vs referenced. Slurs are one of those “we have freedom of speech but please never say that ever again” type things. Perhaps autocensorship is a bit over the line, but we should be intolerant to intolerance.
I like to think of slurs as one of those, “we have freedom of speech but also you are not free from consequences for what you say,” sorta things. So, yeah, go ahead and say it if you want to, but don’t be a bitch about it if people tell you to fuck off or call you a Nazi.

English isn’t my native language. Hard-R is that retard?
I fear that refusing to use those words even in a educational sense is rewriting history a bit.
It’s weird how americans who been all over the Internet claiming germany has no free speech because gloryfication of the Nazis is forbidden.
Yet it was always fine to write that heil hitler was a common greeting of people who brutally murdered millions.
While writing that fuckwit racists used the term nigger to put themselves over other humans is now frowned upon
Its the N-slur, used primarily by american slave owners to demean their victims.

Realistically, what recourse other than forced censorship or banning is there
My experience as a user is vastly improved by not seeing slurs.
