(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)for the record, it would be up to the person offended to point out, as the offended party, that it's offensive. i'm not going to listen to sjw white saviors screaming about cultural appropriation or racism. i would listen to a native american saying they'd prefer if you buy a dreamcatcher or anything else that's based on native american art style, that you buy from an actual native american artist. i would also listen to a jewish person bringing up that 'jewed' is a racial slur and to please not use it, since a lot of people seem to be ignorant of the origin of a lot of popular vernacular. about a decade ago, i took jewed and gypped out of my vocabulary when i found out that they were slurs. i've walked away from arguments with people nowadays who say that it doesn't mean that and no one's offended.
but if i said something/did something that actually offended someone, i would want to know, because i can't change/alter my behavior if no one tells me. i would want to know if i'm playing what's essentially a tarbaby character. no one seems to have told this person and are just going with, 'well, they should have known'. how? not everyone is into politics or racial/cultural matters. especially if they aren't black/jewish and don't have anyone in their social circle.
someone reach out and tell this person if they're so pissed over it. i'm not against dragging this back here if they react like a racist asshole, but right now, it's all assumption and guessing, and at least two people here have gone to the public comm mods to act on it. put the torch down.
