The thing is you aren’t the audience. Discussion about anti-Asian racism in English tends to be focused on the experiences of e.g. Asian-American people and on the racist abuse they get from white people.

It’s actually that exact kind of self-moderation, surely? “hang on, doesn’t this word suck, let’s not use it”?

This reminds me of the not-very-edifying-at-all moment when “joey” became a universal term of abuse in UK playgrounds.

Sure. Enjoy your moral purity as we head into the next Tory administration, and the next, and the next. Nothing to do with you, of course.

I’ll remember that when the second Sunak government forces me back into work-related activity. I’m sure it will be very comforting as I’m driven to a nervous breakdown.

That’s not the system we have and it’s not how anything works. You have to vote for whoever can beat the Tories in your constituency, you don’t have a choice.

If you don’t do that, you’re just a useful idiot for the Tories. Acting like we have PR when we don’t and praying this is the moment of the Green breakthrough, honest, is madness. The UK is moving further and further to the right and short of a revolution we’re stuck with it, so please just vote to get the current shower out.

Probably my closest call is going on holiday one week and not the next. A nail bomb went off at the bus stop I was at, exactly one week after I was waiting there.

I mean, this is how everything worked already. People start subreddits and have to get traction, make their way to /r/all, etc. Having ~one single space~ wasn’t magic, and things work exactly the same.

I have simple needs, so I’m going to say I’m really excited for news on the upcoming game Persona 5: Tactica.

I expect to be disappointed, but for now the dream is real.
