I have a 3 day ban over on Reddit for saying (n word, then homophobic f word). I wasn’t implying anyone was inferior. Reddit lacks a rule expressly saying I can’t use slurs in any context, although they have racism and homophobia banned. Was I being racist and homophobic just by mentioning the word?

Here is the context: I said on /r/monkeyspaw: "Granted. Your username is now “/u/nf.” uncensored. In response to

“I wish I was able to change my username on reddit.”

    I’ve seen some people claim that free speech doesn’t apply on servers like reddit because they are privately owned. So Constitutional rights don’t extend to private property?

    Not when you don’t have a right to be on said property. If you come in my house using language I don’t approve of, I will ask u to leave and you will :)

    I would refute most of the other arguments you made, but full of logical fallacies. Would take too long. Genuinely curious though: how old are you?
