    I doubt the R-word is a clinical term anymore, so it sounds like maintaining that as the slur of choice is… helpful in a way?

      It isn’t currently no. I feel like there is a difference between a “slur” and an “insult”. Sometimes people need to be insulted, but slurs are generally considered not cool. I don’t feel like I can make the determination about whether this is a slur or an insult.
