Can I get punished for using this word?

I tend to use the word "browns" as a variation to "bronze" when referring to my monkey teammates who consistently hold me back. People often tend to confuse it with the racist slur and report me, is this really punishable?

Yeah probably. Since brown is in no way related to bronze, how would we know that in your world brown=bronze, when it's commonly known as a racial slur? You can't just make up meanings to words lol so yeah I'd just stop using that. They ain't mind readers.

Also, blaming your team and calling them bronzies is punishable in itself. I'd stay away from shaming people for their rank in general, even if you use "bronzies". But yeah if they take it as a racial slur, it will be escalated, so if you must, stick to just calling em bronze.

if you know it might be read as a racial slur then yes it will be punishable, because you are using it while you know that it also could be a racial slur

what I do is wait til those losing and feeding players to tilt. Then report them after game. That way I am both an honorable player and can get voted with friendly :)

Not sure how brown is a racial slur.
