Jemini - thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.
You're totally right in that this term has terrible roots and it's a term that is so common in a lot of vernacular that we used it without any consideration for its history and usage. It didn't cross our minds at all when we put in the game, but we recognise it's a term we absolutely have to remove from our vocabulary.
We want to apologise for the lack of sensitivity involved on our part with this particular language.
We're not sure we'll be able to make this update before the bundle is over.
Due to the journal in the game and the way it's coded - and handles persistent data (which is something we had to hire someone else to do for us - as neither of the Steamberry devs is adept enough at coding to manage it ourselves) - updating the game can cause issues with erasing all save data and progress. We had a lot of issues with this during beta testing, and even a small update to change two uses of a phrase will require testing to make sure we can safely make that change!
I'll take a look at it today and see what can be done. If it's possible to safely make the change, it'll happen ASAP.
If necessary, we'll take a more in-depth look at how to fix this as quickly as we can, even if it takes a few days.
Thank you!
