Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.
I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'
Racist, apparently.
Oh yeah, that's insane. One sub's mod banned me because someone was confused over an "F word" someone else was being ambiguous about. I educated them with "I believe they mean "faggot"." Lol I took that bait but I believe education and strong community spirit is more important than bending the knee to excessive censorship.
