1. I don't think the competitive Scrabble scene (of which there is a very intense one) really needs to be in charge of the game for everybody. But I get why that contingent is incredibly upset. The set of allowed words is locked in stone, such that people practice and optimize particular memorizations around the particular set of words, and they are barely words at that point, just random collections of letters that form the stepping-stones in their grand strategic endeavor. There are Scrabble experts who do not speak the language, just have memorized the words and are good at the strategy. I get why they're upset.
2. They're not releasing the exact list, which is automatically a red flag of some fuckery to me.
3. Nonetheless it has been confirmed that “Paki,” “fenian,” and “shiksha” are all on the banned list. Bro what?
4. "Bitch," "faggot," and "slut" are all still in the game. 👍

Deciding the list of officially banned words was always going to be a hopeless task, but even within that it looks like they've been doing a bad job.
