i guess the mods are playing it safe. trying to avoid politics. but u know, sometimes politics invades a community. thats life.
edit: for the record, i think eugenics is bad, and saying the n-word is bad, altho i think genetic modification/gene therapy might be useful someday for humans as long as it’s used for diseases that are universally seen as bad (as opposed to things like autism & down syndrome that have some defenders).
