@jjweatherman: No dumbass, just the one that used a slur in 1997 in an attempt to be edgy.
No need to get aggressive. I was under the assumption that you took issue with the social problem as a whole and not just the one line in the one game.
@jjweatherman: The word shouldn't be there, and none of what you're talking about is applicable in this case. Debate is hard though, I get it.
You're actively making the internet worse with this type of dismissive, condescending response. I'd recommend not jumping straight to this kind of tone, but of course you're free to do what you will.
Do you really think games should be patching out things like this? Do you think books or films should do the same as they age? I think I'm of the opinion that works like these are representations of points in time, and they shouldn't be edited or altered to conform to the political correctness of any future point in time--that just feels like a never ending battle. That said I suppose in this particular case if work is already being done to the game to implement various quality of life enhancements, as well as general port work, perhaps they could have taken the time to reword some dialog as well. It is what it is, though.
