Kinda stretching it aren't they?
卐 Lemmy is an unsafe place 卐
Pepe is a beloved internet meme, not a symbol of hate. Rightoid asshats need to leave pepe and doge the fuck alone. >:(
I thought it came from 4chan, but it actually comes from Myspace. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog
Wtf pepe is considered alt-right because alt-right uses them sometimes??? I hear they also use English! Maybe English needs to get banned!
Korrekt!
They didn't just use it sometimes, they were using it as an intentional dog whistle, that is the difference. Part of dog whistling is choosing something that, otherwise, has had no real relationship to the thing it is being used as a dog whistle for.
Wait, is just using a Valknut considered a hate symbol? I was under the impression that it was a pretty common "I like Vikings/Odin/Paganism" type symbol... Same with Tyr tbh.
The issue is that the Venn diagram of people interested in vikings/odinism and racists bigots is almost just a circle
How is the PFLP a hate symbol LMAO
"they dare to make money without us!"
Old ass boomer fixating on games are evil I guess and finding it deserves more attention than places like Twitter and YouTube filled with influencers who have the captive audience of very susceptible individuals that they are molding them to their image. Maybe focus on the root cause.
If we're pitching microtransactions as extremist content, I'm on board.
It's as if the new admin is trying really hard to find new ways to be face-eating-leopards to the gen z male faces that voted them into power.
Jesus, these comments.
- Mark Warner is a Democrat
- He was not up for re-election this year.
Well I mean, at least they are keeping an election promise?
Not that it's a good promise to be keeping though
Literally turning america entirely into an unsafe place then threatening others for it. Are they trying to do a government take over of a shiny appealing money maker? It sure seems like they actually want the nazis everywhere else, I bet if they actually do anything they will keep the nazis if they actually exist in the first place.
By "turning America into an unsafe place" do you mean to accuse the Democrats, one of which is behind this?
Not all democrats are progressives. It's a big tent party.
I'm not exactly on steam much, what tf are they taking about?
The steam social/discussion stuff is a cesspit of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc., has been for quite a while.
Well, yeah, it's a place where gamers are allowed to speak. That's what happens.
It's a place where ~~anyone~~ kids can buy games, and you know that isn't allowed in America. They should be in a factory or a church!
