i dont condone how tarantino uses the n-word. not at all. but it's not because i think he's furthering some cac agenda. because i dont agree with that either. if u look at his last few films, the why makes sense, whether u agree with it or not.
in both django and hateful 8, he's doing it because he wants the audience to cringe. they're supposed to. i dont believe his intent is for people to enjoy hearing it (though of course there are some bigots out there who do). it's almost an attempt, however conceited/vain/irresponsible/stupid/egotistical, to combat how desensitized "some" have become to hearing the word, by reestablishing how awful that word can be in the most vile manner possible.
it's also an extension of the blood/gore finales that have become a staple of his last few films. he's kind of pushed some of his calling cards to these weird extremes. to the point where it's now repetitive, and calling cards have become signature moments. he's also gotten more into the grindhouse style, where everything is ratcheted up 1000%, to unrealistic levels. it started with the crazy 88 scene in kill bill (imo). it peaked with the revenge scene in b*stards. and it started to get ridiculous in django.
my problem isnt with him using it. it's that he believes he can make a point while pushing its use to absurd extremes. i dont need quentin tarantino to have his characters screaming ****** every 10 seconds to understand how ugly the word is. i've lived how ugly that word can be. and i dont need tarantino to educate me on it, no matter what his intent is.
that's my problem with it.
