eskimofry , to asklemmy in Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills?

Young people may perhaps be even doing it deliberately as a protest.

This post made sure that it will not be forgotten. Good job for opening an old wound!

    Not OP, but… Looking for things to be outraged about is not good for a healthy community.

    No, it has to work as a adjective, verb and a noun. (Check out my rice, Look how riced my setup looks, How do I rice my Linux Mint Cinnamon desktop the same way as this other rice?, etc)

    Why is there huge pushback in this thread from reclaiming a word by changing it’s meaning from a racist one to something cool and inclusive?

    eskimofry , to unixporn in Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation

    Ok why is there a shit storm about this word now? Linux modding isn’t new. Ricing has been used to describe it for a long time. In many ways… isn’t it good to pave over bad meanings with inclusive meanings?

    eskimofry , to unixporn in Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation

    Why are you stirring up shit about a word that a majority of users associate with Linux modding? What number of people exactly know the old meaning? Is your teaching the people that it’s a racist word help anyway?

    Just because there are some users that stumble upon content semi-organically doesn’t mean brigading and piling on isn’t happening

    That’s some next level mental gymnastics to justify why people are disagreeing with you. Look, ricing isn’t racist. It’s better this way. Let the old meaning die. Let racist inventions be superseded. Don’t complain something organic is reminding YOU about some bad meaning associated with a word in the past.

    Also nonracists using a racist term doesnt make the term stop being racist.

    It does though. Gay was used to mean happy. Now it means homosexuals. Inbetween, it used to be a slang… now it no longer is. There’s nothing in humanity as fluid as language.

    Curing doesnt start by not meaning it when you keep using the racist term. You dont bandage a stab wound by continually stabbing the victim.

    Teaching people who are not aware that it’s racist IS stabbing a wound that was healing (by other people who were making it mean something cool and inclusive).

    What if we learn to make new meaning for these words and forget the old ones? Are you able to forget and move on? Or are you too stuck in your ways to see everything for what it was once and not reform the world around you?

    eskimofry , to unixporn in Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation

    My Opinion is this:

    1. Racist/Able-ist words were once normal words. Gay used to mean “Happy” (this applies for other words probably, but I am not able to recall at the moment)
    2. Many people had no idea that ricing was a racist slang. They wanted to use it to describe a cool new thing that’s inclusive.
    3. Would you agree that a word whose racist meaning is forgotten and it now referring to something inclusive and cool is a good thing in general?
    eskimofry , to unixporn in Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation

    Would you agree that a word that was so racist is now being demolished of it’s original bad meaning and something inclusive is being built in it’s place is a good thing?

    A sort of reformation or curing? After all, racist words were not racist until racists started using those words to be racist.

    eskimofry , to unixporn in Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation

    If a word changes it’s general meaning in normal day use… from something so bad to something that’s no longer associated with said bad thing… is it really bad? What about gay then? That term has be co-opted by homosexual men. Do you suggest we stop using the word gay?

    Why don’t you like that words are being declawed from their original poisonous nature?

    It’s also something somebody can’t control. So it’s still shitty to ask them that.
