Sony says it will remove Stellar Blade artwork that appears to reference racist slurs, claiming that the phrase's inclusion was "unintentional."

The art, which appears to combine two visual elements into a single phrase, was discovered during the review process. It can be seen in the screenshot below.

Sorry but i don't understand it, can someone explain please? Hard rshop? What's this?

[–] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Hard R, referencing the N word. Not sure the shop is part of the reference

[–] C0unterfactual@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How does R reference the N word?

[–] WldFyre@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

The n-word with the "hard R" is n----r, as opposed to without the hard R, n----a

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

To further explain, since I'm assuming you're not a native speaker: the n-word can be two words, one ending in a hard r sound and one ending in an a sound. Hard r n-word is generally considered drastically more offensive. I wouldn't suggest using either, to be entirely clear, but they're very much different levels.

The shop part only makes it worse
