I actually did that with one group of humans in a story I worked on since I was tiny
I couldn’t explain what each word became for the story because those words still carry weight
It would be much harder for them to speak from a platform if the words they use as racial slurs is changed into something positive.
They would in the end, be complimenting the race they hate.
XD
eliminate racism by stop making everything about race
No, they'd just form or choose different words
That too Moist.
Racial slurs may be bad
But
Moist
Keep co-opting their racial slurs.
another thing is
Is a word that everyone hates
Like, in the time it takes for your ploy to work, they'll just move on
We can all agree
They would be helping us expand our dictionary.
We could name experiences that has no name.
That is beyond human language.
XD
It's kind of like how "black" is more offensive than "African American" is especially sensitive circles
it’s hard to see people as individuals instead of associating them with various cohorts
Did you know the N word means black in Latin.
It's reversing now as people are starting to realize "African American" makes no sense
Somewhere along the line, it was co-opt as a racial slur.
cuz you are in a way representing the groups you associate with
"Negro" was a neutral term in the mid 20th-century, IIRC
IT became vilified eventually

Senny... maybe should get used to it. Every channel is used for everything.
I learned that quick.
I'm not sure where the corruption came from
After joining.
i think the problem is trying to solve “racism” via the surface but not fixing the root cause
It's fine ocassionally but you have channel to post memes, do it there. You have channels to discuss games, use them. It's not that hard.
You will not let me post memes, you must be a Nazi. Stop oppressing this unique unit!
Especially now that we have influx of new peopel and the general chat is busy as it is
for example if you see a tall ass black guy with his pants sagging blasting gangsta rap you’ll definitely feel a bit afraid
Goes back to firearms chat
