What constitutes as offensive language in a story?

[kheyrwrites]

The time period of my story is the 50s-60s, and because I will be talking a lot about the racial tensions that existed in the US at the time, would the term n*gro be allowed in the actual episode? If not, how do you think I can verbally paint the picture of the hardships Black Americans faced on the daily without using this term?

I think you should file a ticket and ask the support team. But I know they take down stories with slurs. (not always)

If you ask them and they say go for it, I suggest you add multiple warnings before story starts.

This is what the content guidelines say:

@ForumAdmin

Hate speech - in any form - is not allowed. Specifically, references of – including but not limited to – any slur made on the basis of race, ethnic or national origin, religion, marital status, disability, gender, age, or sexual orientation.

You could always file a ticket just to clarify, but based on this, I don’t think it would be allowed.

@ELx & @goth.gaia I will definitely file a support ticket & see if I can get permission. Thank you!
