However, can you imagine if we didn't instantly gag/mute/warn people for slurs and left it up to intention and discretion. Everyone would be slurring, then claiming they 'meant it as something else' or 'didnt know what it meant'. It would just be a free pass to slur. If you really didn't know that word was a slur, then thats unfortunate and I'm sorry, but we have to punish slurs equally.
This pretty much sums up what I think, I dislike that its a slur considering a lot of car people use it to refer as transmission but whatever, not everyone shares my take on it so its better to just not say it.
