I find ppl to be quite pathetic that are offended by words. If words can harm you, what kind of person are u? I dont care what kind of person is the one sending those insults because everyone makes judgement "its bad cus racism".
I will just note 2 things here:
1st of all races do not exist. The concept of race has begun when ppl wanted to be more different then they already were so they could treat others more differently than they used too "cus others are subhumans". There is no such thing as race in science (there was once but it crumbled because there was no basis for it). So, please start learning stuff about racism and finally learn that it is a remnant of a past that some illiterate ppl still try to use today.
2nd Life is Feudal, so if u cant handle a bit of hatred then play Life is Rainbow and other cute things.
I am quite convinced "racism" wont be tolerated in this game (too bad
), but w/e. I hate all ppl equally so i guess i cant get banned for racism then?
What a bunch of privileged bullshit.
Racism is more than words. It is the racist and oppressive structures behind the words that is hurtful and shouldnt be tolerated whatsoever, ever.
Good thing you have know the objective, absolute truth that there are no races. However, it doesnt give you any rights to reproduce the oppressive structures.
You are quite correct in that LiF probably wont tolerate racism. Because LiF is a game for all people, not just privileged white assholes who want to call people racial slurs.
Thank the lord for you. I was about to write a similar response, but my writing skills aren't like yours. Intelligent comment +1
En_Dotter, you are in some dream world on your own. You should read an article on white privilege. There are all kinds of privileges that we all perpetuate (male privilege, American privilege, wealth privilege, etc). Ignoring it, doesn't change it, it actually insures that the cycle continues.
It's one of the reasons why when a white person in the USA says something involving race, it is frowned upon. Not because everyone is so anti-white, it is because white are essentially in 'privilege', and their words have much more sting.
I guess it's uncomfortable for some people to become conscious of, but you should read up on it. If you truly want a world where racism isn't a major thing, you should really educate yourself on the definitions of race and its affects in society.
