No one has said that they are on the same level?

They are literally in the same flat array

That just means that they both meet the same bar. It doesn't follow that they are equally horrible.

Murder and tax evasion are both crimes, does that mean they're on the same level?

They're on the same level insofar as it's been deemed serious enough by someone to put on this list. Just funny to see it on a list filled with ethnic slurs and a couple disability slurs, looks very out of place to see an extremely-online insult alongside slurs with tons of historical baggage.

Does it really surprise you to see an extremely-online insult being included in a black list for an app for extremely-online people? I genuinely can't understand the confusion.
