so like something was spoken about back

12:30

then people didn't seem like offensive

12:33

or something definitely could be taken

12:34

that way now so it's I think like

12:37

deleting it or getting rid of it and

12:39

editing it isn't necessarily the right

12:40

way but giving me context and like yeah

12:43

yeah I think people I don't know

12:44

understand why people might find it

12:46

should we do

13:32
