Sony says it will remove Stellar Blade artwork that appears to reference racist slurs, claiming that the phrase's inclusion was "unintentional."

The art, which appears to combine two visual elements into a single phrase, was discovered during the review process. It can be seen in the screenshot below.

How does R reference the N word?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

The n-word with the "hard R" is n----r, as opposed to without the hard R, n----a

[–] SolOrion 4 points 8 months ago

To further explain, since I'm assuming you're not a native speaker: the n-word can be two words, one ending in a hard r sound and one ending in an a sound. Hard r n-word is generally considered drastically more offensive. I wouldn't suggest using either, to be entirely clear, but they're very much different levels.
