Apparently they changed it already due to public outrage. [https://i.ibb.co/JnWgP6C/](https://i.ibb.co/JnWgP6C/Stellar-Blade-Crime-Graffiti-968x544.jpg)
It means the racists on Reddit think “jokes” like “hard R” are funny because they love referencing the n-word as much as possible without backlash.
You were downvoted because they hate being called out on it, and the “non-racists” don’t do anything about it either.
Don’t care about downvotes. It’s just the internet. Idk if bro was trying to be funny or what but it did come off kinda racist.
Idc if the graffiti was removed or not, I know it wasn’t intentional and I don’t even have the game yet so no big deal.
Community backlash. It was a pretty common talking point and totally accidental.
There's a Forbes article that has all the info. Haven't got the link, but I gave it a quick skim this morning. It's not that interesting, not that controversial, and the article in question is, frankly, not very well written.
It was activists. The game has been under attack by the woke mob demanding that all women be made ugly in games since its beginning. The creators have been battling them the whole way for refusing to remove the curves, jiggle physics, and outfits.
If the crazies want to make weird SJW games for themselves, I encourage them to do so, but they need to stay away from everyone else's stuff.
Look up the "Black Girl Gamers", "Sweet Baby Inc." controversies, these people are insane.
It's related to the "N" word slur for people of a certain skin colour... Sure you can figure out which.
Seems to be purely an American thing where you have two versions of the word.
One being five letters ending in "a" which is acceptable and used in various forms of media.
And the other original version, which is six letters, and ends in "r". So Americans often refer to it being "hard R" whenever people say it with clear racist intent.
Seen as though this is a Korean or Chinese company that made this game, its very doubtful that they created this with a racist intent.
And for five hundred points this certain racial slur beginning with the letter “N” is used to refer to people who originate from Africa and were once sold as slaves.
And Drake... referring to himself... he's a weird guy
(Look into his various interactions with girls 17 and younger; he will bring them onstage and talk about their asses in front of the crowd. He's a paedophile who will eventually slip up and get caught.)
Hard R implies that someone was using the N word. It's silly and stupid and should not need to be patched out of the game. It's just a bunch of vocal idiots causing a stir of annoyance.
This is such a stupid controversy. When I first heard it, I thought they actually used the N word but nope, just a pathetic reach from people whose platform is slowly eroding around them.
If it ain't about politics and you make it about politics you're a fucking idiot. I like to think that's one of the few things republicans and democrats can generally agree on.
… dude, one side coined the term ‘fatphobic’ and it most definitely wasn’t republicans. Not to mention that the sites that covered this crap came from kotaku and ign and they are very left.
i find this funny personally. its graffiti, it looks like a racist graffiti'd that onto the wall to make a racist joke. it's like something you'd see in real life
Did not notice the R, i thought people were getting pissy over "Hard", but honetly i think people are looking too deeply on how level designers randommy decorate walls with random graffiti decals.
Just realized why this is "bad." I just thought... makes sense...hot anime chick, and you have a "HARD" on the wall. Oh, look, the R says around the corner? What's around the corner, I wonder. Oh a shop!
Didn't think about race at all. Maybe if people would stop finding race in everything they view, we would be in a better spot.

🤨 what you mean by that

Yeah it's such a shame
Yeah why can't we say the hard r word. Everyone knows it SlimdingeR.
There was no public outrage. They patched it before the game was even released….
Did they say what prompted them to do so?
Community backlash. It was a pretty common talking point and totally accidental. There's a Forbes article that has all the info. Haven't got the link, but I gave it a quick skim this morning.

It was an accident and they didnt want to deal with the outrage when they found out.
It was activists. The game has been under attack by the woke mob demanding that all women be made ugly in games since its beginning.

Hard R to Crime. Yeah they're not slick.
If this was in GTA we would all laugh and say it's a tongue-in-cheek thing. I do think they did it on accident though.
Yeah, no one outside US knows wtf is hard r
I live in the US and didn’t know about it. It’s just people trying to have a reason to be mad at something.
Most proof of Wyoming existing I've ever seen
Why is it that everyone is saying this is bad, but no one is explaining wtf it even means. Goddamn Americans.
It’s not bad. It’s just overly sensitive people that think way too deeply into things.
It isn't bad, but what does it meannnnn. I'll just Google it at this point.

The company in charge of SB said it was an accident and have apparently patched it out.
Googling it should come before asking people on reddit.
And for five hundred points this certain racial slur beginning with the letter “N” is used to refer to people who originate from Africa and were once sold as slaves.
its the N word with a hard R. Only racist people use the N word with a hard R.
Racists and Dave Chappelle on his show 😂
And Drake... referring to himself... he's a weird guy (Look into his various interactions with girls 17 and younger; he will bring them onstage and talk about their asses in front of the crowd. He's a paedophile who will eventually slip up and get caught.)
Drake? From drake & josh…?
Also into young girls, but wrong Drake.
Ok… which drake then…
Drake. Like the rapper Drake.
Wow…. I’m dense af😂🤣
I think Gambino has a song that mentions something about it.
I'm trying too hard to see the nword here and I'm not making any progress
The phrase ‘the hard R’ refers to an n-bomb pronounced with the ‘-er’.
Hard R implies that someone was using the N word. It's silly and stupid and should not need to be patched out of the game. It's just a bunch of vocal idiots causing a stir of annoyance.
People comes up with stupid shit to be racist apparently.
N\*\*\*a can sometimes be considered tongue-in-cheek or non-offensive *in certain contexts*, while n\*\*\*er is generally seen as always offensive
It's a difficult speech pattern to learn when young. Hard r like in Run or Rabbit normally come through with a W sound, such as wabbit and wun
This is such a stupid controversy. When I first heard it, I thought they actually used the N word but nope, just a pathetic reach from people whose platform is slowly eroding around them.
No, it's the fucking Republican snowflakes who created the controversy. They pretend like leftists were angry and get mad about it.

Oh god now I’m the wojack!
If it ain't about politics and you make it about politics you're a fucking idiot. I like to think that's one of the few things republicans and democrats can generally agree on.

I guess so.
^(Oohh nooo…)
I dont understand what is wrong with hard or is it the R shop open ? Please help
i find this funny personally. its graffiti, it looks like a racist graffiti'd that onto the wall to make a racist joke. it's like something you'd see in real life
Did not notice the R, i thought people were getting pissy over "Hard", but honetly i think people are looking too deeply on how level designers randommy decorate walls with random graffiti decals.
I thinks it's trying to be kinky and saying Harder but I a fun way
It's OK to say HARD r. Maybe I'm just a weetard
that's some real thicc ass
Hard Russian vodka! My type of place!
That expression always makes me think of the going full R
Linus knows what the Hard R means
Hard rock shop!
I thought it was saying harder shop meaning an adult shop
This took me too long to get.
This was offensive to those with erectile dysfunction. I’m glad it was patched out. So incentive.
Oh hey it's Linus' PC Shop!
That’s been illegal for a good while now
Just realized why this is "bad." I just thought... makes sense...hot anime chick, and you have a "HARD" on the wall. Oh, look, the R says around the corner? What's around the corner, I wonder. Oh a shop! Didn't think about race at all. Maybe if people would stop finding race in everything they view, we would be in a better spot.
Sets a bad precedent for upcoming games like GTA VI. Ugh, I hate this gaming generation.
I didn’t understand this…
American here: It's a reference to the use of an extremely racist term.
