Here are screenshots of you saying what you said, twice, which ultimately led to the slur warning: https://imgur.com/a/kuHuSPr
I've always known that word to be a slur, but apparently there is a movement of reappropriation to reclaim the word. If there is a reappropriation movement, in my mind, that means the word is a "banned" word, as you called it. If the admins want to remove the warn, fine. I'm not going to argue over a warn.
What I will bring up is that you used the word as a "double entendre" meaning that you knew the word was, at minimum, inappropriate. There are other words that are contextually or culturally fine (like the N word, cigarette word, and the car part word) that have been brought up and argued over time and time again, but are still considered slurs on the server. Again, I don't really care if the warn stays or not, but it's clear that you knew something was amiss about the word.
An aside: there have been some...interesting comments by you that I've heard, and that you've admitted to saying in this very post. To answer your concern on how people can be funny without saying things that are "objectively" or "subjectively" funny, people have been funny on this server for years without coming close to saying what you have said. Actual comedians have been funny without coming close to saying what you have said. Subjectively, the comments are not funny. Objectively, well I can't speak for everyone.
