"It's just a word which makes it stand out as a product"

So you think calling a product "nigger" is a good idea? It's just a word and it would certainly stand out.

(Before responding directly to my comment, please consider that I'm criticizing your logic, and don't actually want anyone to create a product with a hateful name)




That is a needlessly crass example. I get your point, but that's not the best way you could have made it.


I disagree. If someone has deactivated their own humanity enough to say "It's just a word" then they probably need a shocking reminder of the power of words. Making an abstract argument about words won't move the needle for a wet robot.
