Jessica Tarlov, one of the panel’s more liberal co-hosts, said she was in favor of the game removing slurs, adding, “I think we can all agree on that.”
Two panelists replied, “Not so fast!” and “Be careful, Jessica.”
Jesus Christ, how do these chucklefucks convince themselves that they aren’t terrible people?
Would only really be relevant for tournaments, except the organizing bodies of which aren’t affiliated with Hasbro and have their own sets of words and drama over them. People playing casually can just have house rules about whether slurs are or aren’t accepted and what counts as one.

“Yeah, Jessica, we’ve talked about this. You can’t just SAY that racist things should be avoided, we’re trying to APPEAL to racists, remember?”
Nice sentiment, but too many syllables to hold their attention.
More like “why they call me ass for being ass?!”
I honestly first read that as “one of the panel’s more literate co-hosts”.
Probably both.
How do you remove slurs from a boardgame where you pick and place letters?
There is an official Scrabble dictionary

Well yeah. When we play Scrabble, the house rule is ‘English Wiktionary’
I’ll accept it if its obviously a real word, no matter how offensive it is.
Not if it requires a capital letter though. I’m not a complete animal.
