No one here thinks you're sexist bc you like vg girls

I don't even like the games in OP's post lol. I just find it silly that we need to tip toe around things in art because some asshole will support the complete opposite of the message.

See if I was writing about non-fiction then sure, use the n-word. You're talking about an actual event, so context is different. But what I was getting at is realistic fiction, which is still fake.

If someone wants to read the n-word in a book AND learn about racism, they should probably pick up a book that talks about events that actually happened instead of engage in fiction.

I have no idea what you're trying to argue here anymore. So in your hypothetical realistic fictional book about anti black racism, what, black people are called badoinks or something? What even is the point of your fictional book on racism if racism shouldn't be allowed to be shown? You gonna have cops kill unarmed black people? You shouldn't do that because some white guy might side with the cop. You're gonna make bankers steal a black family's home? You can't do that because a banker might say they deserved it for not paying their mortgage. What's the point of fiction unless it involves fucking dragons, but no not the metaphorical kind since you should just read a fucking history book instead, but literally just a big lizard crawling around the forest because it runs on primal instincts. And for the record I'm not insisting anyone include slurs everywhere, I just find YOUR reasoning absurd because I have to care about what some racist white fucker thinks about my creation to write about him? Fuck off
