> Using potentially offensive language or slurs, in one case even calling an SNL skit from the 1970s using the same slur “genuinely funny”, which shows a lack of empathy towards other community members.

Looking at the source linked, the topic was removal of a PyPI package named "slut" and - to avoid using the word directly - Tim Peters described it as: "a word that Dan Akroyd used to apply to Jane Curtin (brilliant comic actors from America's Saturday Night Live TV show, but back in the days when it was genuinely funny )".
As far as I can tell (through search), he never used the word directly himself, and the parenthetical remarks seemed to be more making a light-hearted jab at modern SNL rather than calling this specific skit or its use of the word genuinely funny.
