        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 in 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.
