Why is IMDb allowed to have this word on their site?

I don't understand how we are supposed to be able to discuss movies when we are not even allowed to mention their titles.

So you're not white or you've never said nor typed the word?

Not as a joke?
Not cause you're woke?

What happens if a white person says it?

You are beaten/cancelled and put in jail.

You can post quotes by rappers and politicians, but maybe not be racists. Be sure to use "quotes".

I don't know if Reddit allows this. Imdb would replace it with "***".

I am white. Watch me:
Nigger
NIGGER
nigger
nigga
Nigga.

You know where I learned the word nigger?
The movies Friday, Next Friday, Friday after next. Also, Lil Jon's music.

Since I didnt go to Africa and actually enslave people, and none of my ancestors ever did, I can use the word freely, whenever I fucking like, by permission of Ice Cube and LilJon.

You can mention the title. It's just a word.

It's strange how in 2023 there are "forbidden words", like in the middle ages.

In a few decades people will look back and laugh like crazy.
