    Jessica Tarlov, one of the panel’s more liberal co-hosts, said she was in favor of the game removing slurs, adding, “I think we can all agree on that.”

    Two panelists replied, “Not so fast!” and “Be careful, Jessica.”

    Jesus Christ, how do these chucklefucks convince themselves that they aren’t terrible people?

        Nice sentiment, but too many syllables to hold their attention.

        More like “why they call me ass for being ass?!”

      “Yeah, Jessica, we’ve talked about this. You can’t just SAY that racist things should be avoided, we’re trying to APPEAL to racists, remember?”

      How do you remove slurs from a boardgame where you pick and place letters?

      Jessica Tarlov, one of the panel’s more liberal co-hosts

      I honestly first read that as “one of the panel’s more literate co-hosts”.
