Granted it was during a bleak period of my life when I was so reactionary. But my god, to think these goobers are still around today, still doing racism and sexism, just moving from target to target to take out the impotent rage on.

Just reminded of it today with the “discourse” of Yasuke being in Ass Creed and G*mers changing any woman not white and waifish with AI.

      A lot of us did. But look at us now! I’m proud of anyone who realized that was wrong and changed their behavior. Too many people double down on “it’s just words bro” or “it didn’t used to mean that. It just meant dumb”.

        True, main thing is I was just a kid and saw other people used it, did not think critically…
