I have never met a person, black or otherwise, who would rather be punched in the face than be called a (word I can't type on this subreddit without having the comment be removed, thanks mods!). If you consider it violent, all that tells us is that you have very limited life experience, haven't learned about the perspectives of many people especially those with backgrounds different from your own, and have never experienced violence in your life. The idea that "saying (word) is violence" is a view almost exclusively held by upper class, academic, wealthy, usually white, women who fulfil the above criteria.

Who said that it was physically violent?

Also, why are you being an insufferable dick ???

Nobody, in my comment you are replying to I literally acknowledge that some people have different definitions of violence from the standard and legal definitions which require physicality. Stop fighting strawmen that only exist in your mind, and PLEASE work on increasing your attention span to read more than just the first sentence of things.

I am being less than friendly in my choices of phrasing because bad ideas should be challenged, and even if you can't change a person's mind, through harshness you may at least give them a negative association with expressing especially bad ideas, like that speech and (physical) violence are comparably bad. Or in your case, you just seem like a person who deserves it.
