I think given how ridiculously common the word was (Disney cartoons, for pete's sake), it's pretty reasonable to assume that someone might know about plane engines, but not know that the word is considered a slur.

Del Toro didn't name it. Travis Beacham did. And he apologized.

I'm getting a little sick of people being outraged. Disappointed or annoyed, I could understand, but this level of "HOW DARE YOU I'M NEVER SEEING THIS MOVIE BECAUSE OF THAT SLUR" that I keep seeing pop up from SJW is getting a bit much. Is it a slur? Yes. Isn't it nice to know that? You know who doesn't know that word is considered to be rude? Probably about 90% of the American population. We just don't have a history with it. Most people on the street probably wouldn't have the slightest idea what you were talking about if you said "Romany."

Well, maybe a few more, now that there was a House episode and all.

and when you consider over 70% of the box office is FOREIGN (not including europe here, they're like...5% of the foreign box office), the majority of the viewers are not going to know this. I only know because the #pacific rim tag exploded with overly outraged white people who just used it as a jumping point for complaining.

God don't even get me started on Slattern. An in movie character is sexist, he couldn't name it Bitch so he named it Slattern. But oh no tumblr cries, it's a ~bad word~, you can't use an ~old bad word~

Actually, the quote is:

Tendo: "Bitch is big."

Pentecost's reply came almost instantly.

Pentecost: "Do not use that word. If you must, call it 'Slattern'."

In other words, it lampshaded ITSELF.

Wait, was this in the movie? I don't remember it. (Or was it only in the book? I haven't read that yet...)

just the book I think. I saw the movie for the 3rd time yesterday and I'm positive that dialogue doesn't happen.
