@coolboymew this is a white van with FREE CANDY on the side. There's a creeper at the top of those stairs, waiting for fat men to follow the cards into a sex dungeon.

By the way this is my lifetime's lucky TEN THOUSANDth minor adjustment to how I talk about race. This is the glory of being a modern person. Past a few centuries ago you probably wouldn't think about this ever, apart from learning that the name for "guy too dumb to even speak right" is something like barbarian or немец.
@ClaraListensprechen4 the brackets in my post are meaningful. They mean that you should substitute apathy for lack of hate when a particular race is mentioned. How deeply do you care about the Thai people? Probably, you don't at all. Just to more effectively communicate this, you should not waste time talking about feelings you don't have.
For racial injustice: I don't like injustice, and I don't really care what flavor it comes in. Lots of anti-white racism out there. Israeli politicians manage to say shocking stuff even when you carefully assume that they're always talking about Hamas specifically. Injustice overall is sky-high and gets a lot more overt when it's about hated classes or occurs in a district devoid of political balance like Washington DC.
@PonyPanda@ClaraListensprechen4 nah, avoidance is a proven strategy, and emphasizing apathy is part of that. It won't get you past some idiots blocking the road and it might not work if you actively go to college to talk to indoctrinated people, but it's also not going to harm you.
Another appeal to it is novelty. Courses on being a POW or a hostage are useful here: 1. you really want to avoid training your antagonist into doing the think you like the least. If torture is what works for the antagonist, then you're always going to get tortured. 2. (less emphasized) you don't want to walk on the antagonist's well-trodden paths. A guy that's killed hundreds of people while they begged for their lives is not going to pause if you beg for yours. Words he's pre-dismissed are not even words to them, they're like animal barking.
@PonyPanda with @ClaraListensprechen4 she didn't even understand what I'd said, and went with eagerly misreading it as some words she'd pre-dismissed. Probably helped by some prejudice about FSE, the same way I guessed that she was serious - something I wouldn't have believed without the @qoto.org.
This can happen in real life as well, but there are gradients here. A judge isn't going to block you and scream at you, and you have no need to talk with the blocker/screamer anyway.
I called it a minor adjustment. It's not a solution to idiocy. It's just a better way to approach things. If you have to talk on race, don't talk exactly like all the other victims of the process have talked.
@Shadowman311 >tranny makes a game >I don't play it >tranny: STOP ERASING ME when I realized that I could lower black test scores in the surrounding states just by being white, I thought I'd peaked. Yep, I'm not going to get more powerful than this. I have psychic racism powers.
But now I can contribute to LGBT erasure just by ignoring their self-inserts? Haha, I'm going to have so many stories to swap with Genghis Khan in hell.
George RR Martin is also a massive libshit who intended nothing but evil with the Game of Thrones, and completely unintentionally wrote in some heroic figures.
I think, when people try to stay true to their characters, try to have realistic interactions, try to set up and resolve story conflicts in believeable ways, the result just isn't very left-wing.
The 20th century paperbook is more like a movie: a few hours long, hits the plot, done, and that you can still read the paperbook after the show ends is only an accident of technology.
@ItsSkyDragonz@Shadowman311 just asked an uncensored AI why he sucks and got 25 numbered items before it cut out mid-item. Each one "His role in ___ war", "His support for bombing/invading/destroying ___" Vietnam, Cambodia, Yom Kippur War, a ton of South American coups, Iraq, Israel's Lebanon invasion that required them to form Hezbollah, "His support for a US-backed military coup in Fiji"?!, Philippines, Nigeria OTOH, he supported Pinochet, and I believe he was relatively less retarded on Russia in the last year.
Q: why the huge difference in spelling? A: first, consider this other word: https://www.etymonline.com/word/barbarian >from PIE root *barbar- echoic of unintelligible speech of foreigners (compare Sanskrit barbara- "stammering," also "non-Aryan," Latin balbus "stammering," Czech blblati "to stammer"). the story that I've head is that "foreigners sound like they're just saying 'bar bar bar' all the time".
@RehnSturm256 (summoning successful) npc: where... where am I? princess: you have been summoned, hero, to vanquish the demons who want to destroy the human race npc: oh. Magic. Of course. Like in Harry Potter. npc: m'lady, I will defeat the demons by educating away your prejudice against them, and telling them that they no longer have anything to fear from humanity! princess: what?! No they eat humans. They were created specifically to kill humans. npc: calm your bigotry. Help has finally arrived. npc: my own old is mired in constant warfare and hatred. I spent the last two years saying that the largest country of my world was populated by 'orcs' who were too stupid for modernity, but I know all about this 'demon problem' of yours just from seeing the hatred and disgust in your eyes when you mention them. (summoning reversed) npc: huh? npc: so it was all a dream. npc: I'll post about this on /r/dreamsAboutRacism
