I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.
I don't think "glowie" has ever had racial intent, but some of it's earliest usages were "glowie-Nword". Usage has definitely spread beyond fascists and people trying to talk like them, though.
The word spook was only racist for a very short period of history, I mean it’s still racist but it’s very archaic. Most people don’t know what it means, it’s best we censor it though.
Yeah, its unambiguously a slur in certain usages, might as well.
