An offensive word/slur to indigenous people has officially been replaced in-game, though this change was not noted in the patch notes for the latest free update. The word was previously used for an interaction while playing as a werewolf interacting with the toilet.
Upon doing research the word has been used by colonizers as a way to belittle and dehumanize indigenous people.
What are your thoughts on this in-game change?
Thank god it was so uncomfortable

That's an interesting take-the word actually has a benign, common meaning as well. It takes on a slur form when directed at a particular group of people but that wasn't the intent here-it wasn't directed at a group. It just means wild or of the woods in typical speech.
