I keep encountering white supremacists / extreme racists in games

{quoted}

You said "alt-right" is behind the racism, implying that conservatives and libertarians are inertly racists since they were the original "alt-right" from 10 years ago. Therefore you did make it political.

Why are you linking racists to conservatives and libertarians? I know plenty of conservatives and libertarians who are not racist lol.

Stop trying to make this about something it isn't.

It's not my opinion that racism and white supremacy are harmful. It's Riot's, too. Because they don't allow it in their game. And you agree to it when you sign up. So I don't know why you're defending these people.

I agree that any ideology is ultimately a matter of opinion, since it has at least subjective components. I wouldn't really include your other two examples, though, to be honest. I know it really just depends on your definition of "opinion", but I find it that this broader definition you are using tends to facilitate the denial of facts by playing them off as opinions. After all, if "the earth is flat" is an opinion, then so is "the earth is not flat". That suggests these two "opinions" are somehow equivalent and that it's just a question of personal belief.

Or more simply put: There is a need to differentiate clearly between opinions on objective matters and opinions on subjective matters. One can be proven to be a stupid opinion, the other can only be proven to be socially unacceptable (or possibly based on other stupid opinions).

Apropos diluting ones credibility by crying wolf:

I didn't notice any of this until he started ranting about jewish people and homosexual people in chat.

The OP clearly is not just talking about using singular words outside of context. Starting an anti-PC rant whenever anybody mentions the word "racism" is just as bad, if not worse, than starting a tirade on racists whenever somebody uses a non-PC word.

TL;DR: Freaking out when we perceive racism desensitizes our societal understanding of actual racism. i.e. Don't cry wolf.

If our society lampoons anything and everything that we consider to be remotely "racist," "sexist," "homophobic," etc. we will downplay the actual significant of real racism. For example, the term negro - commonly used as %%%%%% or %%%%% - is either used as a derogatory term for a black individual or as an interjection in certain cultures. Uttering the word does not inherently make an individual "racist," however using the word to slander an individual because of their dark skin is racist. We can see that this aforementioned phenomenon is already occurring with generation Z since jokes and tik tok videos based around receiving an "N-word pass" have become increasingly popular. Literal children are meming and mocking our society's obsession with non-racist acceptable speech. Similar to the boy who cries wolf, freaking out over non racist, albeit incompetent, speech such - as casually using the n-word when describing a white male - distracts from real racism and dilutes your credibility as an individual or activist.

Dude, you are eloquently going on about what is and isn't racist when I am talking about someone spamming in all caps about how they want to "KILL ALL THE F&%KING %$# %#&&*%S".

You are completely missing the point altogether and are trolling the post (but thanks for keeping my thread alive, haha).

And you can go on and on about the alt-right and how they are "conservative libertarians" or whatever you think they are and how much you loved them ten years ago, but in today's world they are nothing more than racist.

Get over yourself.
