It’s a shame that most people don’t actually understand what red-lining is; it’s a concept that isn’t really taught in schools. It says a lot that more people are willing to believe that the reason why low income ghettos are populated largely by PoC is because we are “lazy” rather than decades of political…

The murder is fake, but the racism is real.

Only one of those things is happening to players(hint: the player isn’t actually getting murdered)

Real life racism and fictional murder.

It’s just an excuse to do racist shit. Like basically white people who really, really, REALLY, want to use the N word but are just frustrated they can’t.

They know the context--they just don’t feel like they should be burdened by it.

Boooo this take. Fantasy violence is an accepted/expected part of the package. Resources in that package that help racists engage in real harassment are not. I’m sure there’s like a “My First Fallacy” book you can read for more info.

As you can imagine, parts of the community are frustrated by the studio’s decision, with one player saying the Cannibal is a “cannibal and murderer” who’s unconcerned with “the race of the person whose face he is wearing.” Others argue that “context is king,” and in a game like Dead By Daylight, in which the…

Hire Black Hat Guy?

At this point, I genuinely hope it’s spite towards arseholes online. 

You know what, at this point I’m rooting for him to never finish ASOIAF. Take it to the grave, my man. I have never seen such an ungrateful, impatient, ignorant fan base.

I mean, just look at the original Star Trek.

Always been a fun thing in fantasy & sci fi, people are willing to accept other races like elves, orcs, goblins, asari, krogans (just naming more famous sci fi ones), with all sorts of colour. And are usually on their side in the game/book/movie. Defending them against racism, like drow that are usually looked down…

That said cracker is absolutely not racist by the definition’s you’ve given above because it in no way, shape, or form implies superiority or inferiority and lacks historical context that would lend evidence to such accusations. In fact the belief that cracker is a racist term is more likely an indicator that the…

I’m not sure how much college you’ve under your belt, but the dictionary is not a valid source for ones history project.  

Damn, Twitch really cracked the whip on him!

I mean, the show flat out has one of the characters call them girlfriends.

Hopping on board the don’t resurrect Silco train.

I’m not surprised it’s not covered too much (I wish I could make sure and search for other Arcane/LoL articles through some sort of functioning “Tag System” but alas, herbs) as big a website as this is, they can’t cover everything.

What actually surprises me the almost is the total lack of mention from the “get woke…

Yeah, no. I like my characters when they stay dead, Silco was an incredible villain but I have PTSD from the Sylar days. He’s also one of the few non-plot-armored characters in a show that is rife with them. Let’s not go that route.
