it's the implication that if your hobby is gaming, you're somehow failing as a human being

but i wouldnt care cuz I don't think the opinions of strangers matter at all
Gamers are over, gamers do not need to be your audience
source gamergate
I think I interact with gaming enough, both by literally playing, and by thinking about gaming abstractly as a medium, that the title fits
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr it might just be that though, gamer feels like a derogative term when people use it irl
In a world where Noob is a slur
there are people who think that polar
Thats so cool dude
I gotta start throwing that in the mix
Noob is our nword
the most oppressed class
I remember people threw around "retard" all the time at school when i was a kid and now suddenly its a slur but i can't see it as anything more than another generic insult
Retard is an unavoidable slur that is pointless in policing
Before retard is was special, its just a word to say someone is not mentally developed.
It'll always shift
to me its just the same level as idiot/stupid/dumb
you know, generic and meaningless
What's wrong with using a word to offend someone
My intention was to offend them anyways
To be fair if you were retarded how cognizant of that would you even be, its chill
I meant like nigger and stuff but yeah exactly the same concept
I do not typically use the nigger word because I don't care to, I do use retard a lot though
Nigger is the rare word i am more likely to say aloud than type
Neither is that high chance
And it's usually more of a "said under my breath" sort of thing
See, I would not say something under my breath
It's usually not event directed at someone
It's just one of my words I say when I'm annoyed
I do not get annoyed very often in public
This doesn't have to be in public
or in privite to myself
I call myself a retard in a jovial way when I am being retarded though
Ill let an N word rip if im doing a bit, quoting something, or ive lost 10 games of Street Fighter to a ps4 wifi player
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I call myself a retard in a jovial way when I am being retarded though
In a simple jack type way
I think it might also be a cultural thing considering black people are barely a thing in Canada
so the word does not come to mind
I dont get people's aversion to nigga, but I guess im an edge lord unfortunately
My dad will yell it in the car when he sees a black person doing something retarded
I say, having been in vc with my black friend yesterday planning things to do when I am back home
But tbf he got jumped by them and almost went blind in one eye lol
Racist for life
Only my grandpa will let it rip casually, but hes an old Italian man and will more often call the Mooleys
Yeah, see, I think being around black people, or more adequately ghetto black people, which is more of an american thing, raises the desire to use the word
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Yeah, see, I think being around black people, or more adequately ghetto black people, which is more of an american thing, raises the desire to use the word
Def a culture thing
He used to live in Saint Louis for college, so he had the full on polu experience
But worse
most black people in Canada outside of shitholes like Toronto are 1st/2nd/3rd generation immigrants who came to not live in a shithole
Did Polu get jumped
he got held at knife point, he got mail about the trial not too long ago I think
See when you live around that how can you not let a few slip now and then
Ok so not in laughing range for this
I am increasingly more racist towards Indians as time progresses
That's the thing with all ethnics really
Most people give them the benefit of the doubt
But they slowly grate on you
Replying to Rusp #rusp. See when you live around that how can you not let a few slip now and then
As reparations he can say it now actually
The problem is when the majority that come are coming specifically to take advantage of your system
that tanks the whole caring thing fast
I think if literally all the black people in the US were the highly motivated "I want a better life for me and my family" african immigrants and not 16th generation blacks from slavery
there would not be as much black racism
I have never cared for the indian or Chinese
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak there would not be as much black racism
Spittin a bit here
Its entirely a "letting cultural ghettos form" issue
if people move to a country and spread out, its not an issue because they are forced to adapt
Welfare state has created a group of people who just want to be handed things
if you let them clump up, you just get an enclave of their shitty culture
I literally had this conversation over the weekend pika, I agree
There are parts of NJ, probably closer to vinny, that are towns that speak just Spanish. I think its a town of Cubans or something
Its the logical take beyond the surface level "lmao niggers bad"
A majority of North NJ is Portuguese
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Its the logical take beyond the surface level "lmao niggers bad"
Well yea. I think blatant racism is just a low IQ thing
I agree
I have the superior 3d chess version of racism
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ There are parts of NJ, probably closer to vinny, that are towns that speak just Spanish. I think its a town of Cubans or something
My job, aside from the engineers/management was entirely staffed by Mexicans who spoke literally no English,
It definitely grated on me not being able to speak to most of the workers
I might also be biased because literally all the non-white people I talk to are highly educated university people
I was talking with a mexican guy who is here for a masters in math who was in one of my classes who seemed alright
And the majority of retards I talk to are white
