I have a 3 day ban over on Reddit for saying (n word, then homophobic f word). I wasn’t implying anyone was inferior. Reddit lacks a rule expressly saying I can’t use slurs in any context, although they have racism and homophobia banned. Was I being racist and homophobic just by mentioning the word?

Here is the context: I said on /r/monkeyspaw: "Granted. Your username is now “/u/nf.” uncensored. In response to

“I wish I was able to change my username on reddit.”

    Dude. Why? Is it just a lack of creativity, that you can’t think of anything better to say? This is like complaining that you can’t swear in front of children. Do you really need to? Is it that hard to just…not?
