Hank Green jumped in to defend this, got BTFO'd, apologized and deleted.

Yeah, its unambiguously a slur in certain usages, might as well.

The filter would have to know when the word is being used as a noun for a person.

The current filter doesn't even detect when a word is used within another word, this will never happen.

I don't think "glowie" has ever had racial intent, but some of it's earliest usages were "glowie-Nword". Usage has definitely spread beyond fascists and people trying to talk like them, though.

Once a cousin of mine used it meaning a CIA agent, and another cousin said "you mean a black person?"

That's my only experience with it off the top off my head (but I'm white)

Lithiania has 2.8 million people, which is about the same as the metro area of St. Louis.

edit: the US has 20 cities with metro populations greater than all of Lithuania
