It’s just a stereotype.

I need you to be honest - do you not know what stereotypes are, or do you not know what racism is? Stereotyping is one of the conceptual parts of racism, so saying it’s not racist because it’s a stereotype is like saying pizza isn’t Italian because it’s from Naples.

stopped being used offensively several decades ago, and was then repurposed into being a praise of sorts.

Could you give me sources for when this happened for “ricing” and “ricer”? Because there are a lot of people in this thread telling you that it’s still offensive, and I’m pretty sure they know a little bit more than you about racism.

Probably G2A you’re thinking of, I’m pretty certain GMG are official.

not exactly how I phrased it

Yeah, no shit buddy, and your “gist” can be pretty forcibly rejected by reading these, which use some form of the term without defending it: https://hexbear.net/comment/5821220 https://hexbear.net/comment/5819913 https://hexbear.net/comment/5821145 https://hexbear.net/comment/5819994

Bold of you to assume I have smth against groups of ppl based on their race

So it’s not that you have anything against asian people, you just think it’s ok to use a term that origtinated in saying japanese people eat so much rice they even run their cars on it. Uh huh. Would you defend the N-word on the basis that it’s a commonly used word and you don’t understand why it’s so bad?

just an assumption you’re from the US

Extremely unsafe assumption, but newsflash - your ancestors don’t need to be the specific ones who invented a racism for it to be racist to act like them. If you copy someone else’s racism you are still the one being racist. You’ve been told multiple times by multiple people that the term is racist, but you’re arguing it’s not racist because you don’t know how it’s racist. Have you maybe considered you’re just not very smart and need to study racism a bit more? Maybe learn what this whole “microaggression” thing people keep talking about it?

the “wrong” ones that used the “r-word” happened to be blocked

I’m sure you can find enough examples of the word rice, ricing, and ricer to put two and two together and realise the “r-word” isn’t what got them blocked.

there is a comment from another mod that explicitly tells they’ll remove stuff using that.

No it doesn’t, because that hasn’t happened.

nor is it derogatory in its current form

Are you really not able to put together how transferring a term used to deride body modifications (using ethnic associations) to UI modifications is derogatory? Do you think it magically lost context somewhere along the way, the history of the term just disappearing into the aether?

I’d also like to play along and give you folks another (and, arguably, a more worthy) which hunt target

Stop trying to worm out of this you wretched little shit. Defend using that on the site and you’ll also get your comments removed, but we’re talking about your racism right now.

Umm no it isn’t sweaty, it clearly says the source is [organisation founded by Adrian zenz] and [organisation that funds Adrian zenz]

Are you telling me that you have so little understanding of slurs and their use that you think people are getting banned for saying using the word rice? You cannot be serious. How dare you think you have the intelligence to hold an opinion.

I know what you’re arguing you fucking dunce, I just told you you’re wrong. There are plenty of slurs that aren’t as bad as the n-word, you’re not allowed to use any of them. And b) doesn’t matter. You don’t use the n-word even if a black person “gives you permission”, because that makes you a fucking racist.

What the fuck are you on about sports for? I’m telling you to look in a dictionary if you don’t know what a word means. There’s no competition here, I’m trying to teach you basic facts that everyone else already knows.

I just told you you don’t have to guess you dumb fuck, ableism actually appears in dictionaries. Unlike “lingoism”, a word with no defined meaning, because you just made it up.

For fucks sake, you can’t even spell able, you have no right to call anyone dyslexic.

Assumes i know what ableism means. It means nothing to me. This is the truth. I could look it up, but it just looks like, lingoism

I’m gonna be real with you sib, this has levels. First of all, you don’t know what ableism is? Are you 10? Even if you hadn’t encountered the word before, are you seriously so ignorant that you can’t guess a definition from the fact that it’s made up of “able” and “ism”? Even worse, you know you could look it up, but you’re rather remain ignorant. What the fuck kind of respect do you think you’re gonna get for saying you’re an idiot that doesn’t want to learn?
Well take a second to overlook those things though, take the wider view of you refusing to look into a word you’re unfamiliar with because it’s “lingoism”. So you won’t find out what a real word means because of a word you just made up. What is it even supposed to mean - some sort of language ideology? Are you saying you won’t look it up because it’s a word? The entire premise is just so fucking incoherent.

Censoring my speech, i’m also not really interested in. So i’ll say some shiat

You already used “caunt”, so there’s 2 possibilities here: either yes you do censor yourself, otherwise you’d be writing shit and c**t, or you’re just dyslexic, in which case you’re trying to insult people by saying they’re just like you.

Whatever the case is for either part, it is extraordinarily evident that you’re thicker than pig shit. Just stay on gitbhub, you don’t have the intelligence for opinions.

What’s confusing about being told to chill it with the ableism? You used dyslexic as a slur.

Edit: and then misspelt another slur

I think you’re referring to the gardening implement, but Hexbear did a funny to your comment:

It’s not like black people using the N-word, it’s like white people using the n-word because a stranger on the internet said it’s ok.

aside from the use of the “r-word”

You don’t think them casually dropping a slur might invalidate their opinion on whether a different word is a slur? Fucking LLM-ass logic right there.

Anyone else get the impression it’s a slow news day?

Neither DB0 nor Unruffled, the admins of DBZero, are banned on lemmy.ml. You’re definitely thinking of when Hexbear did it.

Is this one of those things where lemmy users “remember” things that happened to hexbear, or are you telling me that the dbzero admins also got themselves banned from .ml and dessalines also decided not to defed?

I did, it names a bunch of incidents where parts shat themselves then says it’s way over budget. An actual explanation is definitely missing from the article.

According to the modlog you went on a marxist leninist instance and started calling people tankies. What is surprising about getting banned for that? Why do you expect Dessalines, whose username is taken from the leader of the Haitian revolution, to side with you?

Sure, feel free to add more examples of countries which drop fewer bombs than the US. Here’s one to get you started: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
