Is the word 'poon' a slur or something??? [resolved]

Edit: this has already been resolved. Please stop commenting.
someone claimed it was a slur, and I came here for a second opinion.
The discussion is over.

It's not a slur. It CAN be a slang term for female genitalia, or in Australia I guess it's just another version of "dumbass". Not sure where they got the idea it was a slur from.

It's not, the mod was just being dumb, as discord mods tend to do

they say it's a slur against punjabi people

does this have any basis whatsoever?

i like how this guys first instinct was to come to the steam forums to have a discussion about a possible slur instead of googling it and receiving an answer in 0.1 nanoseconds

Kind of sounds like that mod was eager to have something to do for the first time ever to justify her existence as a discord mod; Its no kind of slur against anything or anyone. As mentioned, in america it can be a slang term for P**** but in the context of this non american game its a race of bunny people.

It has no basis, they made it up.

Hi. I'm the mod in question.

This word is a slur. There's no ifs or buts about it. It is a slur to deride the Punjabi people, and I find it disgusting that nobody seems to have the ability to find this out for themselves.

Phoenix, I am beyond betrayed that you would go behind my back and seek the approval of strangers that you don't know. I genuinely thought that you had changed for the better, but behaviour like this has proven that I still cannot trust you as far as I can throw you.

Lose my phone number. Don't contact me again. Goodbye.

The only place I'm finding it listed as a slur is "The racial slur database" which is a "joke" site, entirely based off user submissions without any kind of verification.

As far as I can tell, "poon" is an actual, regular word in the English dictionary? That is used to refer to specific types of trees? I'm just confused on why this highly specific word has been turned into a slur.
