"CEO says" annnnd ignored. next time get someone with a soul to say whatever it is.

probably buy a stick of gum.

i choose to believe this is what they meant

i'm saying i disagree with this approach. people have been preaching "not to feed the trolls" for decades and the internet has only gotten more bigoted and terrible. forcing those people out of any non-nazi space should be priority #1. we do this on hexbear and as a result the site culture there is significantly more welcoming to minorities than just about anywhere else on the internet. i've been on the internet for like 25 years now (admittedly not as long as you) and it's the only site i have ever seen where people bandying about slurs and abusive language are not only not tolerated, but are actively rejected by the community en mass

it works. if you build it, they will come. if you ban the shitheads, good people will stay. if you don't, you end up with 4chan.

brb learning how to be a 90s era hacker so i can make people's heads pop like in scanners

you're a horrible person

this is an extremely individualized approach that leaves bigots free to spread their filth everywhere, making normal people (particularly marginalized ones) uncomfortable and at worst forcing them out of the space entirely.

bigotry should be opposed at all times in every conceivable way. unfortunately we can't do violence to shitheads on the internet, so silencing them is the next best thing

is it time to kill all the capitalists before they kill us yet?

i don't care what bigots think <3

so glad you were here to explain to me the error of my ways, whatever would i do without your enlightened understanding of marxism🙄

if you think people complaining about "woke scolds" aren't 99% conservatives then idk what to tell you dog, particularly in the context of "actually being concerned about social issues pushes people into reaction!"

"Woke scolding"

alright good talk, eat shit and die

yes that means your mommy too, you absolute dweeb

not knowing things doesn't make you a terrible person. however, if you choose to continue defending a blatantly hateful property in a franchise created by a bigot now that you know better, then yeah people would be justified in calling you a piece of shit

lmao i'm picturing the kind of person who would simultaneously issue calls for extreme violence but only like, non-fatally. "just shoot them a little!"

i believe he should be executed, to be clear

wow really? it couldnt imply racism? why do you jump straight to mental illness? unless you think racism is a mental illness

i wish we had a "boredly jerking off" emoji bc that's what this deserves in response

if you look at a goblin and automatically think "Jewish" you might have a problem

yes that would be true, if that was what was happening here. since you're obviously incapable of learning this will be a waste of time but here's some articles talking about the issue

since i know you probably won't bother i'm just going to quote some relevant bits from the last article

"Critics assert that the goblins, who control Gringotts bank within JK Rowling’s beloved wizarding world, resemble the caricatures depicted in the antisemitic 1903 book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. [...] [T]he goblins’ appearance and profession parallel offensive antisemitic stereotypes such as having large, hooked noses and a particular covetousness for gold and money.

The game also includes a description of a special horn that closely resembles the Jewish shofar, which was used in the lore “during the 1612 Goblin Rebellion to rally troops and generally annoy witches and wizards,”

Critics were quick to also note that, coincidentally or not, the year 1612 coincides with The Fettmilch Uprising, a Jewish pogrom in Germany in which Jews were expelled from the city of Frankfurt. Although the uprising first began in 1612, Jews were only actually expelled in 1614."

rehabilitation may very well be possible, but let's not pretend there's any serious effort made to rehabilitate people in the "justice" system

for the safety of the public this man should be shot

the words you wrote implied someone would have to be mentally ill in order to see the obvious anti-semitism in rowling's portrayal of goblins, being as they are essentially the 4chan greedy merchant meme

you can stop lying now

the boring corporatists are fully backing a genocide rn

not really seeing how that doesn't qualify as 100% concentrated evil
