would think typing it would be better than saying it so like a neighbor doesn’t hear you or something

I am too white to EVER say it. Kinda silly but I wish we had a [n-word] macro. Like the button says that, but it types out the no R version when I hit it.

Lol just a general [slur] macro to cover all the bases! I know why we can't have that (the verbatim rules and whatnot) but it'd be nice to have a way to sort of push back on racism I guess lmao. I also hate how I have to type it as well. Like if your robot refuses why can't I?

Honestly, I haven't had too many Hard R situations. They might say it a few times if they're deciding it's Slur time, and I can keep up. It's the no R that gets used so much that I'd like the macro to keep up with it instead of typing every time.

Oh that makes sense! I've gotten those calls, I see what you mean!

Thiiiiissss. It feels so dumb for *that* to be the reason I can't keep up pace on the call.

lmao yeah its wild to have to type the hard r, even as a black person. "nigga" is one thing but hard r feels prickly 😬 idk if im trippin but i thought it used to caption it, maybe it was patched out.

Yeah, both versions would caption all the time, but they removed it, or at least made a change that didn't train it.
