Will Destiny say the N word again before the end of January?

Resolved
YES

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.

@ItachisEyes It's a homophone! Horse and hoarse are different words

predicted YES

@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.

predicted YES

@Tumbles 💀 you and i both know he knew what he was doing

predicted NO

@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!)

predicted YES

@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

predicted NO

@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 I disagree with point 3, 6, and 9. By extension I don't agree with 11, 12, and 13

@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.

The market spiked today because Destiny said the name of an athlete named "Noah Knigga". It was something like "Noah Knigga? Is that really his name?" In my opinion this obviously shouldn't count

predicted YES

Noah Knigga said his name is pronounced "Ka-Nay-Guh", and Destiny clearly said the N word instead of that.

predicted NO

@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?

predicted YES

@Tumbles If he was reading the country of Niger and mispronounced it so it sounded like the N word? 100% Yes

predicted YES

@x Lmao its close but no

bought Ṁ700 of YES

@x nah if that counts then schwartzenegger counts

@x After deliberating with DGG chat, we have concluded that this does not count.

predicted YES

@dgga there is obviously a difference between making a n-word joke using his name and just talking about it.

@x point is it wasn't an n-word joke. It was a Schwartzenegger joke.

@dgga When I listen back to it, I personally hear ‘negger’ anyway. So it wouldn’t count regardless.
