This happens all the time. No matter how epic the battle, once begun, the thing sounds more or less like a bingo game: People shout out numbers and other people get excited about them.<\/a><\/p>\n

Edit: This comic used to contain the slur for people with mental disabilities. The pre-remastered version is still linked above, and the version of the remaster containing said slur is available here<\/a> for those emotionally invested in the comic remaining entirely the same. The original word was a sad product of it’s time and I don’t feel the need to inflict it on old or<\/em> new readers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oof, that hasn’t aged great. I wasn’t sure if we should pull the use of the R word there, but considering we’ve been leaving in OG typos trying to keep true to the original, it stayed, for now. Unfortunately, it does sound exactly like the kind of table this is, but luckily has become less and less the norm over the years.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, fictional slurs! Anyone else’s table end up coming up with offensive things pretend races and peoples get called? Or…is that just us?<\/p>\n

In our defense, it’s really fun to totally snipe an imaginary racist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
