@sun @vriska GLM was trying to convince me that moderator robots are racist because "they disproportionately flag black speakers as problematic" because of "dialect"

i mean yes if your "dialect" is to say n-words, bitch and retard every six seconds and you have to specifically code in a black permit maybe the robot is actually not wrong.
@sun @vriska the problem i have with that specific line is they don't actually believe any of it.

"some words are bad" -> i already disagree with the precept. intentions are bad, words are not. this is pavlovian bullshit that has gotten really prevalent ever since MKULTRA happened.
"some words can be said with moral authority to say them" -> okay, that was a line of thinking, but its not consistently enforced. you get white liberals telling people they can't call *themselves* a retard for failure, or saying an autistic person can't call themselves an autismo, even though the moral authority concept of "reclaiming" and whatever is "people who would be offended by this are co-opting it now"
"some words are offensive based on the identity of the speaker and nothing else" -> fuck yourself with a rusty knife and die, no.
