"It's a joke" I'm...look even if you make jokes like that in your own space with friends that's one thing, but posting that publicly on something meant for others to use (when not even a month ago we had a prominent person in the PVP scene outed for racist/race fetish shit) and doubling down is so 💀
Like I don't want to erase the fact that this person is apparently another POC but like...damn dude, I like some slightly edgy/out of pocket humour from time to time myself *within reason* but there's a time and a place and combined with the other stuff they've apparently done I'm just like...🤷🏾♂️
1. I am really not looking forward to the “game journalists” getting hold of this one. 2. This isn’t just a “haha funny joke” it’s normalising racist rhetoric on the Archive, where it already happens so much. They might be POC but the standard Archive user doesn’t have that context, so the user 🧵
🧵 either a) Will rightfully feel incredibly uncomfortable reading this or b) the racist chucklefucks get emboldened by it. This “joke” serves no positive purpose beyond an “in-joke” that should’ve damn well stayed in and the creator is just dying on the hill instead of hearing it.
"But I'm brown too-" then you should double know better not to repeat this bullshit in the public to make it seem like everyone is cool with it. We ain't.
Not the internalised racism that perpetuates harmful cycles. I really, really wish she didn't double down on that and had a modicum of self-awareness. 😩
the whole situation is insane (like what the fuck is that mod name and description), then responding the way they did when you came with a super non-combative approach really just puts a bow on it all
The way people fall back to "it's just a joke" as though we didn't know it was a joke. As though whether or not it's a joke has an impact on its appropriateness.
Because they are of the minority makes them believe they are immune to being racist. Also "I suggest you leave before I make you" is the funniest shit I've read 🤣🤣🤣
They threatening to kick this person out for a very reasonable complain is a personal attack to this modder lol. Like they KNOW they fucked up but want to be seen as untouchable and will use things under their control to silence valid criticism 🙄

Clown behavior. 🤡
Maybe my 4Chan analogy was more on the nose than I thought. Because this reads like someone whose entire "sense of humor" hinges on being offensive.
this is fucking AWFUL
What is the punchline, quick?
Man, my head hurts
It’s giving making your identity digestible for people who clearly don’t care about you.
But go off, I guess. No reasoning with folks with this mindset.
Sick of this shit man...
