Twitter is a joke. I keep reporting accounts that call black people "nic gurr" to avoid being caught dropping actual N bombs and they are almost never banned.

    That seems naive. It's impractical to technologically predict and exclude all undesirable letter combinations, but once humans get involved it's not hard to tell when someone is trying to slip the N-word. That's why there's a report button.

        Political opinions, however reprehensible, are a different thing than slurs.

          I suggest listening to the video [previous 2]. That political opinion is explicitly designed as a racial slur.
