What specific slur word used is not relevant compared to other slur words; the words themselves are all equally taboo/controversial/offensive. But what matters more than any of the words is less about the individual words and more about the context in which they are used. If someone randomly said the R word in an adjective format didn't know it was a slur word; and more so called someone's argument that instead of a person. We typically just edit/remove the word and give the user a strict warning.Why is racism (N-word) banned for 3-6 months, and bad attitude towards transgender people (DarthSpiderr, no insults) is one year? Initially, he was generally banned forever, until others intervened.
But Fandom does have a strict slur word sensitive policy that anyone who said the word out loud regardless of context may be global banned for 3-6 months. But in more severe/extreme cases where people are deliberately being more trollish or using racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, Christophobia, Islamophobia, Hinduphobia, ect as excuses to publicly (Or privately in DMs to their faces) harass people, then those cases may actually be permaban worthy.
In the case of zexer, he said "My N words" and bypassed slur word filter; it's hard to tell if he was trolling or just being casual, but a 3-6 ban would be a minimum though he clearly said it despite knowing full well the word was taboo given the slur filter. In Darth Spiderr's case, he was downright dissing what transgender even means and was quite blatant with his disrespect for them.
