You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Oct 13, 2015, 01:20 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Context is important. If you are talking about people obsessed with guns to the point of fearing life without one, pansy is a mild word.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree with the alert. Pansy is a homophobic slur and really doesn't belong here. Sorry, have to vote to hide.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you have to look it up, its not a slur. You're just straining for something to be upset about.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hide Skittles? Are you kidding? She'd kick my ass. No way! LTH
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Voting to hide because of broad-brush attack to gun owners. It may also be a homophobic thing, I don't know.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Pansy" can be a homophobic slur. That doesn't mean it always is.
