If you're looking for "legitimate" excuses to use that kind of language then consider turning 18.
I do want to note that it is extremely amusing to me how many people who are really bent out of shape about this are also people with join dates within the past, like, 2 years.

I'm very glad that we've established that we can also use homophobic slurs when it's practical.

HOLY SHIT WHAT
ARE YOU ACTUALLY SAYING LYNCH HAS NO SOCIAL CONNOTATIONS?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING
Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.
13 heads and counting now, plurality is adaptive. If our experience might help you,
Creature, I wonder if you know what 'connotation' means, or possibly if you think words have intrinsic connotations as opposed to consensus ones. People are saying right in this thread that the word does have that connotation for them.

Part of me thinks we should stop using scum too. I've had the same experience boon described but with that word too. I don't usually use it when talking about mafia with non mafia players

I'm not trying to need to use that word, but if I ever find it useable, I'd rather be judged by the context of the sentence/paragraph I used it than the word itself.

Because the mods decided to NOT be draconian and allow users to migrate slowly.

Not in the dictionary.
Well, good thing the world and all conversations take place in the dictionary. I mean, that noose in Bubba Wallace's garage, nothing to do with the fact that he's black. It's not in the dictionary.

DGB has been pushing for YEARS to remove the word scum from the lexicon and actually modded a game where its use wasn't allowed

That's why you judge the context and not the word.
