i have always kinda wondered why this seems to have died, did people just get too used to free VC slush money for everything in the 2010s? self hosting isn't that much more expensive now is it?i cant speak for every community, but i will say zelda OOT (and really all n64) modding used to be an extremely niche thing in 2009 and it was split between like, 3 different smf forums that were barely active. every key user to get information from was on them and some of them even had their own sites, but it took weeks to get answers to even the most basic questions. as soon as everyone caught onto discord that stuff boomed. the niche early console modding community has objectively flourished because everyones in such close contact now
Good, hopefully they're locked up for a long long timegenuinely.
what you're doing is okay, but it's not, and shouldn't be, out of respect for those people, their culture, and history, that we white people do not have in commoni feel like you're imagining the absolute worse case scenario which would be me just going around and saying nasty words to people because i can, which couldn't be farther from the truth. all i was advocating for is that people have the right to say this stuff if they want to. im not an idiot. i know how to treat people with respect and not make their lives a living hell. i wouldn't have the relationships i have or the jobs ive had if i was some spiteful evil person.
I guess my ramble is to lead to this question - if alienation IS a major influence to the pipeline to a certain subet of youth, how do we maintain safety on the internet without alienating people we disagree with (no matter how valid)?all anyone had to do was not be nasty about their ideas. as of now we've gotten to a point where everyones going to be nasty about their ideas and throw around nasty words to each other. but in 2015-16. when people were bringing up gamergate or the immigration crCIA in europe or even something as crazy as pizzagate. if we could have had a normal conversation about it instead of being called national socialists or white supremacist's or tribal's or conspiracy theorist's or whatever ist or ism, this wouldn't be happening right now.
How do we maintain a safe and protected space for all without giving up on others? Is it even possible? If not, what do we do with those we have written off?
Freedom of speech does not mean a white guy can shout the N word or vague national socialistsms for fun and it'll just be acceptedthey still do it to this day. why bring up a white guy specifically? why national socialist stuff? this charged language has been a thing since 2015 and is exactly the kind of thing that has forgeted all of this up. i was willing to have a conversation until i was deemed an enemy simply because im white and i dont care.
Context matters, power dynamics matter, and dismissing all that as who gives a forget is exactly the kind of casual ignorance that keeps these conversations going in circles.i agree completely. the point im trying to make is that masterlegodude wants to imply
Freedom of speech does not mean a white guy can shout the N word or vague national socialistsms for funwhich is incorrect. words have consequences and i think everyone understands that. a "white guy" or any guy for that matter can shout whatever they want for fun. thats what free speech is. i imagine you think this only relates to people on stage or in large crowds, but eventually that would trickle down to the individual. should people get arrested or forgeted with because they call their good friends friends or something?
There's only one N word when it comes to the topic of 'racism' and 'old American traditions', please don't play dumbthe monday word? i only ask because somehow "brother" got thrown into N word status when i was always under the assumption the N word was monday but apparently that can also be brother too sometimes. babying your language around black people has always been so foreign to me. if im supposed to see these people as my equals then im certainly not going to care what language i use around them cause i wouldn't do that with any other person or whatever type of people. if they call their closest people brothers and even call me a brother then im gonna call them brothers because at this point its just a sign of respect.
