is that a bad thing? I remember when casual racism wasn't really a thing. It's not political Correctness or wokeness, a stand against racism is just common decency, same with being anti misogyny.

If I was to draw the line, that means everyone that crosses it goes. I mean, are you gonna sit there and tell me that even as a joke, you haven't made one singular comment that could be taken as misogynistic? What about another kind of "ist"? Because I know I have. And I'm pretty sure you have too.

Which is the issue in a nutshell. I can guarantee that most if not all of us have made dumb jokes or comments that in serious circumstances would be seen as offensive.

I once got banned for posting nothing racist, but exploring how this forum would cope with a poster who appeared as a neo nazi, whilst actually not one. It was interesting back then, yes it was trolling

Yousuf just posted giant essays on how Spidey was really Peter Parker.

😂

Yeah, he had a few of those essay-type threads/posts.

Some better, some worse.

this forum wouldn't even let people post in German once.

😆

2007 was wild. Yes.

Current mod team is made out of patient angels in comparison.

this was pretty much the whole thrust of my Boots persona. Fair play to the mods of then, they got he wasn't racist. So many members didn't and went mad at him for ironically ask the questions many Trumpers asked unironically post 2016. What would people have made of final form Surt then? Thing is nothing he posted was new, just under Trump the Overton window had shifted and casual racism was fine.

because Boots looked like a national socialist few read what he posted. Obviously the answer I was looking for is equity is not equality. No one gave me that...

What casual racism? Posts, specifics?
