Snotty it sounds like your position on this has changed since then. I don't think context overrides everything in every situation.
I'm still fine with using words in their correct context, although I'd really struggle to find a correct context for the n word coming out of my mouth. As far as slave goes I have no problem talking about it as a word but I can see why someone wouldn't want it as a throwaway term to describe a bike in a thread title and there aren't really any downsides to changing it.

While the on the subject, I've never been comfortable with how freely people were happy to use the n-word. Regardless of the context, I find it deeply offensive and made a point of mentioning it in the BLM thread. Admittedly it's not been used since a user kicked up a fuss and was deleted when they gave the ultimatum of "delete the comment or delete my account"
Always sat very weirdly with me that.
