There isn't anything racist about describing people acting in a barbaric manner as such. The left came up with that idea and weaponised it, and a lot of people don't want their language to be policed in such an aggressive manner, so they use genuinely inoffensive (but termed 'racist' by leftists) language more, so as to assert their free speech.The leftists try to claim that the OK sign is racist, but that's laughable, so it hasn't stopped me using it, and that doesn't make me racist. If a gang of people murdered someone and defiled their body afterwards, I would call them savages regardless of their race, and I wouldn't be racist to do so, because they were acting in a savage manner.
I think you're just annoyed that people won't play your word games how you want them to. Because you can't: language is not your to control, auth-lefty.
Remember democrats got upset over Trump calling MS-13 members animals.
But it's somehow okay to call Trump a nazi or Hitler, etc.
Special rules for special people.

Yes, of course, Trump called them animals because they're Mexicans, not because they're sex-trafficking, child-abducting, kidnapping, murdering drug peddlers...
Originally posted by SurturExactly. It's as I said: some on the left have decided that calling anyone of an ethnic minority an 'animal' — regardless of context — is racist, so now if people don't play along, those on the left can smear them as racists by their new definitions.
I think it's perfectly okay to call savage criminals animals or thugs.It's not like seeing some black guys hanging out on the corner and calling them thugs for no reason, merely cuz they are black. That is wrong, but that is not what is happening.
But, by and large, people don't buy that kind of authoritarian shit. Sensible people can discern context, and can decide for themselves whether the context is actually racist or not. It's not like people don't use 'animal' as a racist dog whistle, as dehumanising the 'Other' is a classic bigot move. But not every use of the word is instantly racist.

I'm not up on my deep KMC lore. Still mostly an OTF peep.

yeah, but no and even if I was, I don't try and get people banned or try and dox them etc.
I've never doxxed a person. I know nobody's name or address here. Nor do I care to know.
As for trying to get people banned, nah. Have I pointed out some hypocrisy? Yes, of course I'm gonna point it out.
If I was a mod right now would I ban you or your friends? Nah.
