Reason will not “win” here... by I always appreciate it when someone is willing to try.

The only caveat I might offer is that it’s possible that it refers to the iconic garb of the most iconic white supremacists in the USA. It’s at least possible that could be part of the etymology... but it does seem much more likely…

The article claims otherwise... it, apparently, originates as an economic slur targeting poor white people (meaning it originated as an slur based on economic class, which I’d bet money ran along ethnic lines... as it usually did). White people can be racist to other types of white people, even by the newly-minted…

Treating them both as being beyond some undisclosed threshold is not the same as treating them equally.

This is not an issue in America, where white people have been in a position of cultural dominance for centuries.

The problem, of course, is that racism refers to overarching power structures, not if an innocuous word made you feel bad.

The landscape is wildly different so it’s just a flat out error to point at inflation as an explanation here.

Personal experience isn’t meaningless because everyone’s personal experiences can add up to a statistic.

Is there any evidence of anyone at Twitch, or even their algorithms, actively working to suppress the content of women (and WOC)... or is this just simple market supply/demand?

I mean... don’t get me wrong... people usually have justifications for their intolerance. Those justifications are even sometimes really good (I’m super intolerant of things like murder, rape and misogyny). I’m just not a big fan of dogma, but that’s just me.

You really think it’s historically accurate to strew pages from the the Quran across a floor in Stalingrad during WW2? O_o

You’re simply describing why Muslims are less tolerant in this context.

I mean Bible pages would still be a *bit* shit but it’s not like a direct insult on the belief cos people stick bibles anywhere.

Of course.

“Islamophobia is the fear of, hatred of, or prejudice against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general...”

That would be suessophobia. I have zero tolerance for suessophobia.

I hope they replace them with bible pages so we can be outraged at the christianophobia.

This game still had the best at-launch leveling experience of any MMO I’ve ever played. The stories for each of the classes were great and the voice acting was incredible for an MMO. It’s one of the few MMO where I actually wanted to play through every one of the class stories for the sake of the story (and I did).

When will the internet learn that he really is the doofus he plays on TV?! He has not given any indication that he is some sort of nefarious villain looking to give his ex wife and his son an inferiority complex in the stupidest and most public way possible. He wrote a nice (saccharine) thing about his wife and his…

That may be true (I won’t pretend to know for certain), but you hardly had to have played the game to have experienced hundreds or thousands of memes outside the game that have already worn that name into your brain.

Is there a “new guard” in this game?
