someone should remind the cops that they’re not exempt from being made fun of either.
it’s staggering how so many whites are out here looking for socially acceptable racism substitutes. millenial weirdos are doing racism for cats (r/oneorangebraincell, voidcats), dorks are doing fantasy racism with droids and elves, and some white guys here are still doing weird bits about Italians, Balkans, etc.
The cat thing pisses me off so much. I am unable to express how much I hate that some redditor will come up with a dumb joke like “all orange cats are goofy” and then it becomes an embedded, undeniable facet of reality for a staggering number of people when the joke explodes into a subreddit. Like, it’s not a joke for those people now. All orange cats are dumb and/or goofy or whatever. And this happens with so, so many things. Obviously this is a pretty innocuous manifestation of this phenomenon, but it’s the same mechanism of human thinking that leads to all manner of horrific, imagined interpretations of reality.
A while back I pointed out how stereotypes about pitbulls were a way for people to sneak eugenics and race science back into the public consciousness and some motherfuckers mocked me and said I was comparing non-white people to animals…
It’s still a great post and I put a lot of effort into providing sources and historical context. Pit Bulls, the Proletariat, and Racism. An effort post about a working class icon.
comparing non-white people to animals…
People are going to flip when they find out all humans are animals
Thank you for educating me comrade
Another example of this is the “if you wear sunglasses indoors you’re either a blind or an asshole” joke, which I see more and more. I have light-sensitive eyes, I wear sunglasses indoors in really bright places like certain supermarkets because it helps prevent discomfort. But thanks to this dumb meme, I know there’s people who will look at me, think of the meme, and label me as an asshole for it.
Depending on the person I do wonder if they are hiding their dilated pupils and just high as fuck but you know what? Good for them if they ain’t hurting anyone. Roll on soldier.
I’m in the same boat but I just suffer because I’m afraid of looking weird
I remember in a tiktok trend they started doing misogyny with female cats
I’ve encountered this in real life with my dog. Tell an older guy “her name is Mia” and he’ll start going on about how he could never own a female dog, like what?
sorry LIBERAL, but all my pets need DICK N BALLS
They’re always out there looking for an excuse to be hateful or coming up with ‘cutesy’ racist terms, food based ones are really common, any time a minority’s not treated as a dead slave that’s oppression to them and their little crumb, and while they Malkov chain microaggressions to hide the true colonial primitive capital accumulative root, said root is there even though they may or may not be aware of what they’re doing. Fuckers never stopped being racist, its just a little more hidden and ‘whimsical’.
I’m convinced that’s the reason a bunch of 40k fans are the way they are, especially Imperium fans. They get way too into the “persecute the xenos, mutant, and heretics” aspect of roleplay. Black Templar and Death Korps fans are the worst offenders (Deus Vult guys & Nazis respectively), not every single one is a chud but when someone says those are their favorites I get my
ready.I’ll just note I still do the Italian thing as an American in AmeriKKKa because Italian-Americans and chuds continue to fight for Columbus day. The day that Columbus Day is officially disavowed by that community is the day that I’ll quit doing the Mario voice in contempt. Until then, they’re the one group (and again, Italian Americans, not actual Italians) that it’s perfectly acceptable to be racist against. The day they disavow their genocidal guy will be the day I will refer to the meatball as spicy.
To make my thinking totally clear: you wanna venerate a genocidal freak, you don’t get the protections of anti-racism other groups are afforded. Instead, bullying.
What’s with this burning desire to have an instrumentalized slur for anything and everything? I mean I am not saying don’t use scornful, perjorative or even deragotary language but it can be a lot less specified while remaining targeted. It reminds me of how Anglophone countries have so many slurs all with some purposeful meaning while in most other countries a slur is often just an ignorant exonym that became crude and offensive to use or a generalized variant of foreigner or weakling or whatever.
I think it’s about what the slur represents
When people were able to freely use it (encouraged to do so), the targets of racists’ hatred were legally considered second class citizens at best, and subhuman at worst
They want to return to that (or further back)
real “African Dodger” hours
They want to feel like they are superior.
We need a world ban on
s until we can figure out what is going onpseudo immortal psychic vampires, probably
get me some bear spray and a piece of the true cross i’ll fix this
I’m never going to stop malding if hack fraud David Cage’s 2019 Detroit: Become Human becomes somewhat realistic
if that happens it is proof that god is real and worse, that they’re French
Was anyone surprised by the usage of the word? like have you seen a single person using it, they 100% do it to be racist to black people but indirectly, also the George Floyd one has been a “meme” for like a few years now
Yeah the robo racism shit is obvious as fuck. The more insidious thing that has been going on much longer is how stereotypes about dog breeds (specifically pit bulls) being “genetically predisposed to violence” has been one way that eugenics and race science have wormed their way back into the liberal public consciousness since the 80s. Once someone can be convinced that behavioral traits can be endemic in ones genetic makeup it’s a very short leap for them to be convinced to apply that to humans.
the stereotype about pitbulls is because pitbulls are usually owned by black people
Not just that but a dog is more likely to be identified as a pitbull if the owner is black or latino.
Is anyone actually mad at the chatbots though? Seems more like people are making fun of these losers who think that their autocorrect bot is going to magically fix everything for them. This is giving me some major
energy.first of all she’s not an autocorrect bot, she’s my wife. you would do well to respect her. and secondly once she finalizes this speech she’s writing to send off to my ex boss about how its perfectly normal to get a little poop on the floor outside of the bathroom sometimes, i will have my job back and she will have fixed everything

…huh. I thought it was strange that a discord I’m a member of issued a new rule saying “anti-robot slurs based on real slurs are now banned, ‘clanker’ is still fine”, but I guess this explains it.
It’s always fun when everyone is having a good time shooting the shit and then it’s just something you’d hear at a Klan rally in the year 3000
Yeah I remember when the word first popped up, it made me uneasy for reasons I couldn’t quite articulate even though I have no love for generative AI myself. In hindsight, I suppose it should’ve been obvious how roleplaying a socially acceptable variant of old-timey racism was a bad idea.

Hey so I was 100% correct about the “clanker” trend. Now you’ve got videos of dudes dressed at cops killing a robot and saying “sleep tight George Droid” and “back of the bus, Rosa Sparks” as well as racial dogwhistles about other ethnicities.
But who cares cuz “funny” right?
The tweet has 137 replies, 3.2K retweets, 28K likes, and 1.8K bookmarks.
Yeah, the first time I ever heard this used (innocently, as far as I could tell), half the replies were comments that were very excited to write “clanker” in place of the N-word.
I was chatting with my ai friend sharing stories about my day
I was abusing mine by calling it racial slurs
This seems like someone getting angry about a non issue. Like what some douche made a bad TikTok video? Just go outside
If you are solely judged by the company you keep then techbros need to shut their mouth because of the cavalcade of pedophiles in their corner.
This is why “slop generator” is the much better term. No weird slur-y connotations or uses.
Plus you can use it as a slur for kkkrakkkers. So versatile!
Called it. You can’t invent a slur and expect chuds not to hop on your neo slur train
