Did they really allow it?
Someone made a username with a slur in it. Two hours later they were banned and the redundancy patched. A little after that an apology was announced.
Yeah, this reads like such a nothingburger I don’t see why it’s news. Yeah, they didn’t add enough filters, but fixed it as soon as it was pointed out. Why continue the outrage?
To satisfy and monetize the clickbaited.
In a vaccum it wouldn't be such a big issue, but it's already a pattern at this point.
