So is Alexa going to secretly listen to us playing the game and turn us in? This is absurd. Just ignore their list of approved words and carry on. WOKE is only 11 points anyway.

Soft A, Hard R, or both?

If the argument "I’m not offended, why should you be?” is a bad argument, wouldn't that also apply to "I'm offended, why aren't you?"?

If I have an opportunity at a triple word bonus, I'm going for it.

If you play the word in the proper context it’s still allowed, i.e. only certain people can still utilize it in Scrabble.

"Yes, I even love that we have racists in the game. It says so much about the power of our game and our community that even racists – not just the hardcore ones that actively spread their toxic hatred, but the softer ones who stand by rather then get involved, who say “I’m not offended, why should they be?” or “If you can’t accept that the words have no meaning, you’re not welcome,” or “If I’m not offended, why should you be?” – can set aside their deep-seated beliefs to spend time playing a board game with people who do not share those beliefs. "
This speaks volumes for the view point of Mr. Chew. He is demanding people get involved in the causes he deems important. Many objective people can be supportive of advocacy for justice and fairness while they can also eschew the widespread cancel culture and the pillaging of so many things which make up our country's heritage. They don't judge everyone and everything by its perceived worst moments or aspects but keep a balanced perspective.
Far too many corporations , entities and sports organizations have fallen over themselves to virtue signal and in so doing have granted unimpeded access to the radical left to impose their agenda on this country. Far too many sheeple have bought into this movement. Those of us who have not accepted this must remain strong and retain the courage of our convictions. Quit supporting those corporations who so meekly submitted, boycott their products, don't attend professional sports games or purchase their artifacts, even drop your support of your favorite college if they continue to capitulate to every left wing demand. We get what we are willing to tolerate.

So what happens if me and a friend are playing Scrabble and use one of these banned words?
Eventually your friend will be brainwashed by Marxist ideology (via Tik Tok videos) and he’ll recall the time you played the word “criminal,” which is a dog whistle for black male (citation: 13th documentary). He’ll tweet this and tag you and tag your employer and you’ll be fired. No one will ever hire you again because any time they Google your name, multiple reports of you being a racist and white supremacist pop up. Your children will be ostracized at school and your wife will lose her social circle. Eventually it will get so bad that you can’t even go to the grocery store without being taunted, ridiculed, and perhaps even assaulted. These will all be filmed of course and the slightest indication of displeasure will result in exponential vitriol directed your way.
So you might want to think twice bub about what words you play in Scrabble because they just might be part of a secret list of banned words.
