Someone made a username with a slur in it. Two hours later they were banned and the redundancy patched. A little after that an apology was announced.
Yeah, this reads like such a nothingburger I don’t see why it’s news. Yeah, they didn’t add enough filters, but fixed it as soon as it was pointed out. Why continue the outrage?
