Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviews
That is legitimately one of the single dumbest statements I’ve ever read in my entire life.
First day on the internets?
How the fuck do you mega brained genius think racist and bigoted ideas get spread and propagated ?
It’s a residual product of almost 200 years of government sanctioned racism. I’d explain more but if you were interested you wouldn’t have came out so hot.
What kind of organism do you think the government is made of? That’s right - People. Where do you think today’s Republicans and cops grew up?
Every person that’s managed to exit cults of toxicity has admitted they inherited a poisoned worldview because it surrounded them - they never would have felt “Black people are subhuman” if they didn’t have messaging all around them saying it so.
If you have resigned yourself to the idea none of these people will ever change, and they’re fated to be that way from birth, stay in your own bubble and stop commenting anywhere about it because by your own admission conversation doesn’t do anything.

Yeah people who hold a ton of power that can compel you to do something. The difference is a tech billionaire or your next door neighbor can’t approach the level.
People being in charge is irrelevant. If you’re argument is that human beings are imperfect and corruptable than every form of deterring racism cannot work; so I reject your idea.
If you think racist talk by private citizens doesn’t spread racist and bigoted ideas, then you’re not worth talking too.
That’s one of the dumbest and nonsensical things I’ve ever heard anyone say. I’m genuinely flabbergasted that a functional adult could believe something so ridiculously and obviously idiotic.
You really think people like Andrew Tate or Ben Shapiro have zero role in spreading racist and bigoted ideals ? Fucking really ? Ya think Fox News has never convinced anyone of bigoted shit ? Ya think Alex Jones didn’t make people call in DEATH THREATS to the parents of murdered children ?
Incel forums have literally motivated mass shooters, you gonna tell me those incel forums were government run, or what ?
But yeah, sure. Racist and bigoted talk outside of government institutions is totally inconsequential.
Unless you mean to tell me that the spread of these ideas “isn’t doing much”, which frankly, I’d consider even worse.
It absolutely isn’t doing much, because those ideas aren’t spreading in a vacuum. They’re spreading in competition with the sensible view of equality, which is winning simply because it’s the only thing that really makes sense. Good ideas consistently win against bad ideas absent a strong force standing behind the bad idea; and it’s really hard to find a stronger force than government.
In the U.S., racism is on the decline not due to government mandate. Racism is on the decline because in the 1960s the government stopped endorsing a particular race as superior. We don’t need the government mandating anti-
racism and how the population treat each other; we just need the government to treat everyone equally and the problem of racism will continue to decrease.

Oh boy, more censorship.
“racism and bigotry must be protected at any cost”
Some would say that, yes.
Racism and bigotry outside government institution doesnt really do much, it’s kind of self defeating in most situations that actually mean anything.
That is legitimately one of the single dumbest statements I’ve ever read in my entire life.

I said absolutely nothing even approaching a dramatic leap to that conclusion.

Spoken like somebody who hasn’t experience racism or bigotry.
