I have filtered out a lot of the spammer accounts that just spew nonsense.
On one hand I'm lucky I can do that with sync. But on the other hand we shouldn't have to resort to whackamole.
I wouldn't mind if it was a few "bad apples", but every single fucking one of them are here to start arguments, call people racist, and generally act in the most abrasive manner possible.
i mean, bro, you're being racist as fuck in that other thread.
i'm not from hexbear, you gonna start a thread about kbin, now, too?
It's really not hard to remember. You'd only think that if you didn't try to say it once even. Papakanghorohoro or something
you literally only missed an a in kanga
i didn't have to look it up to know this
you know why? because i already knew the word papa and horohoro is the same fucking sound repeated twice. there is no possible reason this could be anything other than racist. i'm not from new zealand and i learned the word in fifteen seconds and i know fucking no te reo besides te reo, maori, haka and fucking PAPAKANGAHOROHORO
The term "racist" gets thrown about with so little though these days, it's effectively meaningless.
or maybe people keep calling you that for a very good reason: you're a fucking racist
what other reason could you have for denying the legitimacy of one of your country's official languages? why would you be othering it?
you're a fucking racist. own it or fix it, but either way shut the fuck up.
Dude, you desperately need to chill the fuck out.
Oh yeah? What are some other examples of things people call racist, which aren't?
I only ever see racist people saying this
There it is again.
Are you even gonna try and prove me wrong?
I don't care enough about your opinion to go to that amount of effort.
I'm not asking you to comment on my opinion. The evidence for that is in the fact i did not offer my opinion.
