I actually did that with one group of humans in a story I worked on since I was tiny

2018-10-17 03:39:21 UTC  

I couldn’t explain what each word became for the story because those words still carry weight

2018-10-17 03:39:33 UTC  

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.

2018-10-17 03:39:42 UTC  

They would in the end, be complimenting the race they hate.

2018-10-17 03:39:43 UTC  

XD

2018-10-17 03:39:43 UTC  

eliminate racism by stop making everything about race

2018-10-17 03:39:56 UTC  

No, they'd just form or choose different words

2018-10-17 03:39:57 UTC  

That too Moist.

2018-10-17 03:40:10 UTC  

Racial slurs may be bad

2018-10-17 03:40:11 UTC  

But

2018-10-17 03:40:13 UTC  

Moist

2018-10-17 03:40:17 UTC  

Keep co-opting their racial slurs.

2018-10-17 03:40:20 UTC  

another thing is

2018-10-17 03:40:20 UTC  

Is a word that everyone hates

2018-10-17 03:40:26 UTC  

Like, in the time it takes for your ploy to work, they'll just move on

2018-10-17 03:40:26 UTC  

We can all agree

2018-10-17 03:40:31 UTC  

They would be helping us expand our dictionary.

2018-10-17 03:40:47 UTC  

We could name experiences that has no name.

2018-10-17 03:40:50 UTC  

That is beyond human language.

It's kind of like how "black" is more offensive than "African American" is especially sensitive circles

2018-10-17 03:41:21 UTC  

it’s hard to see people as individuals instead of associating them with various cohorts

2018-10-17 03:41:25 UTC  

Did you know the N word means black in Latin.

2018-10-17 03:41:43 UTC  

It's reversing now as people are starting to realize "African American" makes no sense

2018-10-17 03:41:46 UTC  

Somewhere along the line, it was co-opt as a racial slur.

2018-10-17 03:41:53 UTC  

cuz you are in a way representing the groups you associate with

"Negro" was a neutral term in the mid 20th-century, IIRC

2018-10-17 03:42:36 UTC  

IT became vilified eventually

Senny... maybe should get used to it. Every channel is used for everything.

2018-10-17 03:43:06 UTC  

I learned that quick.

2018-10-17 03:43:07 UTC  

I'm not sure where the corruption came from

2018-10-17 03:43:09 UTC  

After joining.

2018-10-17 03:43:26 UTC  

i think the problem is trying to solve “racism” via the surface but not fixing the root cause

2018-10-17 03:43:49 UTC  

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.

2018-10-17 03:44:15 UTC  

You will not let me post memes, you must be a Nazi. Stop oppressing this unique unit!

2018-10-17 03:44:15 UTC  

Especially now that we have influx of new peopel and the general chat is busy as it is

2018-10-17 03:44:26 UTC  

for example if you see a tall ass black guy with his pants sagging blasting gangsta rap you’ll definitely feel a bit afraid

2018-10-17 03:45:00 UTC  

Goes back to firearms chat
