Damned if you do, damned if you don't?
Or what do you mean with "not a great way to go about it though"? Seems like the following happened:
- Developers implemented something well-intended, poorly-executed
- People pushed back
- Developers changed their mind and disabled the non-customizable slur-filter
Seems that's exactly how you'd want things to go. What's the alternative here that would be better?

- antifa 4y ago> I'm not sure it is "well-intended, poorly-executed" This is a clear unambiguous example of "well-intended, poorly-executed, then fixed"
