Who could forget all those touching scenes with little Maggot.

I mean I didn’t love it but the hate it gets seems a bit over the top. Would’ve been better as just an animated movie though.

I looked at an “AAA” game maybe twice in give or take the last decade and both times have regretted it. Indie games are the bomb.

Man if you’re going to be a stupid racist at least try to make it funny. Black = KFC is just about the laziest stupidest “joke” and the bar for racists jokes is already pretty gd low

Hired goons?

Is it about my cube?

Going to see the bear in the little car eh?

Man I need a replay of the whole series. Thanks for the reminder <3

Hired goons?

Yeah the map was the problem, Todd.

My kids are getting older, I aim to be that middle aged couple soon.

They will never make another thoughtful, dialog heavy, diplomacy and reason focused Star Trek series. The mass audience won’t go to see it if there aren’t lots of explosions and personal drama and that’s the audience they want.

Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

No one is mentioning Tux Racer? Blasphemy!

I don’t think you understand that words have a meaning, defined in a dictionary. You can just decide that your kind of discriminatory language somehow doesn’t count and we should all just magically know what you really mean, but that also echoes the typical defenses that racists and gender bigots use.

Bigotry on the basis of race, religion, gender and yes even age is wrong no matter how you try to defend it.

Language is like that, careless use makes your point unclear and may lead people to think you’re a bigot when that’s not your intention. You can blame others for not understanding your inner thinking when you’re make sweeping generalizations but in the end it’s not their responsibility to dig into your psyche.

I really get the idea it’s fueled by the media over there. You see so many American articles about heartless boomers and lazy millennials. Whether it’s just rage bait to sell ads or something more, I don’t know.

This feels a lot like saying “when I say the n-word I don’t mean all black people, just the bad ones” (and yes that word is of course a different level of bad but the principle is the same)

You can make those arguments without the blatant generalization and denigrating language.

And this is why it’s, in my opinion, correct to call it a slur. When you refer to a certain part of the population, in the context of calling them the enemy, not based on their beliefs or actions but their age, that sounds questionable. Just as it would be if you said the same thing about a racial group, a sexual preference, a religious group, etc.
