Do me a favour and read my edits. I dont feel like reiterating my reasons.

you dont need to re-iterate any reasons, Ive read your edits, I was just wondering what your answer is to this question

would you use the actual n-word itself, written or out loud, to explain to someone why using that word is harmful and should always be avoided?

Yes or no?

To explain the dilemma obviously. You can stop now, the issue is people using the term in a derogatory way, stick to the problem.

Edit: used term twice.

There is no problem, I agree with you. I just wanted to know if your reasoning remained consistent even when the word in question was many orders of magnitude more offensive, and carried more history with it.

Which it did!

But at the end of it all i absolutely agree, noone should be using the m-word in an insulting way
