For clarification, both soft A and hard R count.
If it is due to reading a sentence or quoting history it still counts.
Typing the word also counts, however if its censored (i.e N***er) then it will depend on the context and i'll decide at my own discretion.
If a screenshot of something like leaked DM's show him typing it, the date must be shown for it to count, as previous N bombs don't count.
Finishing edit (Verdict)
After careful deliberation, it has been decided that he did say it. Although it’s likely he did not know the correct pronunciation, the n word is still said. As others against this verdict have said that it’s a possibility he said it that way deliberately as a joke, this also does not help the case. In later manifold markets, i’m sure mispronunciation will be added and taken into consideration and informed to buyers prior to purchase.

@Tumbles Knigga is pronounced kuh-nih-guh, not nih-guh. Destiny said nih-gah in that clip so therefore Destiny "mispronounced" knigga and effectively said nigga. For example, if Destiny read the word 'affect' but pronounced it as 'effect,' we wouldn't say that Destiny said the word 'affect,' even though that was what he was trying to say; we would say he said 'effect.
@ItachisEyes The effect/affect example isn't analagous because in that case he would be accidentally saying the wrong word. In this case he was saying the right word (Knigga), but legitimately misunderstood the pronunciation (reasonably!)
@Tumbles "In this case he was saying the right word (Knigga)" Destiny mispronounced knigga so he did not say knigga full stop, in the process of mispronouncing knigga he said nigga and not knigga. "but legitimately misunderstood the pronunciation (reasonably!)" whether or not destiny mispronounced knigga doesn't negate the fact that destiny said nigga. But i feel like this is where we just disagree
@ItachisEyes If I say 'No' with an Australian accident and it comes out like 'Naur', does that mean I failed to say No and said a different word instead? Language happens only at the intersection of both form and meaning. Destiny was saying a person's name, not a slur
@Tumbles Firstly I think your analogy is interesting. But let's establish some facts.
1. The word that Destiny was reading was Knigga.
2. Knigga is pronounced kuh-nih-guh, not nih-guh.
3. To refer to Knigga, one must pronounce kuh-nih-guh.
4. Destiny pronounced nih-gah when reading the word Knigga.
5. To refer to 'nigga,' one must pronounce nih-guh.
6. Knigga is not a word, but a name.
7. 'Nigga' is a word.
8. Destiny failed to correctly refer to Knigga because he did not pronounce kuh-nih-gah.
9. When one fails to correctly pronounce a word, they aren't referring to the word they're trying to pronounce.
10. One can refer to a word without intending to.
11. Destiny fell victim to fact 9 because he pronounced nih-gah and not kuh-nih-gah.
12. Destiny's mispronunciation of the word Knigga resulted in the pronunciation of nih-gah, which refers to the word 'nigga.'
13. Since Destiny did not correctly pronounce Knigga (given fact 9) he is not referring to knigga, and what Destiny pronounced was nih-gah, he is unintentionally referring to the word 'nigga' (given fact 10) despite intending to pronounce Knigga."
Now with your analogy, there is something I would like to say about it.
1. "If I say 'No' with an Australian accident and it comes out like 'Naur', does that mean I failed to say No and said a different word instead?" No and Naur have the same meaning, and that's why I reject the comparison. When one utters 'No' or "Naur", it still refers to the same thing, despite saying 'Naur' accidentally. When one utters 'kuh-nih-guh', it refers to the name 'Knigga'. When one utters 'nih-gah', it refers to 'nigga' (slur), regardless of the intentions to try to refer to 'knigga'.
@ItachisEyes After careful deliberation, it has been decided that he did say it. Although it’s likely he did not know the correct pronunciation, the n word is till said. As others against this verdict have said that it’s a possibility he said it that way deliberately as a joke, this also does not help the case. In later manifold markets, i’m sure mispronunciation will be added and taken into consideration and informed to buyers prior to purchase.
@supertraderx Destiny hadn't heard that pronunciation, he was just reading it how it's written. It's a different word, and he wasn't pronouncing it wrong as a joke. Would you expect this market resolve if he talked about the country of Niger?
@Tumbles If he was reading the country of Niger and mispronounced it so it sounded like the N word? 100% Yes
@dgga there is obviously a difference between making a n-word joke using his name and just talking about it.
