Context always makes a difference.
...
Slurs are against the rules regardless of context

but the default infraction is only 6 points, not a ban. However if it's clear from the context that it's not actually being used as a slur and the user has no history of similar infractions, they might even get away with a warning. Conversely obvious racism might result in an immediate ban.
There's all sorts of similar contextual differences. White belts don't get many chances. Retread accounts likewise. Accounts that have been here over a decade without issue get more leniency. There's a bunch of users that are ban on sight if they evade the autonomous systems.
I guess...
Even posting porn. One user hot linked to an image and the website he linked to changed the image to porn. He was temporarily banned, but allowed back within a week.
I'm talking actual porn. Like gifs everyone can see. Ain't no nuance in that. Whoever posted it, is done.
Whatever though.
