I was having fun until Abra called me the r-word during the 5-peg tutorial... I get that she's supposed to be an ass, but there's a difference between mild insults and actual slurs.

I really hope this is just a misunderstanding of how offensive that word is, and that it'll be removed from the game.

Or you could grow a pair and realize you are playing a game for adults.

It can be hard to understand how hurtful the use of slurs can be if you've never been part of a minority group that's often dehumanized by such language, but I hope you can eventually learn how to empathize with people whose life situation is different from yours.

Or if you are part of a minority group but haven't been harassed with slurs, I don't wish for you to become the target of such insults, but I hope you can come to understand why certain people might be more sensitive to such language than you are.

I located the dialog in question and I think you're right. Abra didn't use the dialog as a slur, but the word should still be avoided in a game like this and I'm sorry it ruined your experience.

Edit: The newly released 1.10.6 corrects the offensive dialog.

Thank you for understanding, unlike the other commenter here.
