The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I have seen plenty of racism and racist words go unpunished in these forums. Extremely skeptical when a majority white team issues this kind of statement, like what they really mean is "no n-words!" And let everything else slide.
This isn't like transphobia where a sea change has happened in the past half decade. Feels like pure lip service

It wouldn't hurt to point it out then. We all have blind spots, and I think we're willing to work on them.

Well I'm gonna stream that later. It's called "Maiden" apparently. And it's on PS5! I have a ps5!
I've been shamefully trying to get one with a disc drive and good god those things still sell out in seconds.
i struck out twice yesterday
so fucking frustrating
I got a disc drive one in my cart at amazon and best buy yesterday and they sold out before I could check out
I tried walmart too but every ten minutes when I refreshed it just changed to "more stock ten minutes from now". And then further refreshing made their site shit its pants
I don't think I've seen racist stuff go unpunished for a long time., but maybe I just haven't recognized it as racist? Mods seem pretty good about responding to the report/flag button though.

not to be that guy but like the time a couple weeks ago i pointed out the depiction of minstrel show blackface in a youtube thumbnail you posted was yikes and you responded by telling me that's just the way it is?
Allegedly a voice of reason.

the "japan is so weeeeird/creeeepy you guys" stuff a lot of people around here like to do is often, if not always, fairly racist

Reactive vs proactive moderation too. I don't think the mods scour through every post themselves. If it's not reported there's a non zero chance it gets ignored.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I mean it's largely a volunteer staff of community members. Their time is finite and so is their interest so they're more likely to proactively moderate threads they actually participate in (or the handful of ones that any given time are likely to be infraction generators).
Plus they're human and could have blind spots the same way most of us do and a well written report could actually lead to changes down the line.

I mean, I could say he's meant to be a genie and in DBZ Abridged he's one of the funnier characters and I never really thought of him like that, but you're right, he looks like a duck.
And Toriyama's drawing of an actual black person isn't great either.

So I'm daily tracking weight and fiid and exercise now in a little composition notebook
Except now I'm like...trying to think of something that sounds good for breakfast but isn't horrible for me and I'm like, blanking
I pulled up 60 healthy breakfastbrecipes on a website -- tomato toast with pesto, avocado toast and egg, smoothies, yogurt parfaits, oats a dozen ways -- and there is Nothing Wrong with any of these but nothing is singing to me
I don't know if I'm detoxing from just eating a huge bowl of cereal(regular cereal, not sugar cereal, but carbs all the same) or what

I love how the stuff that is supposed to be on the chain is noticeably inches away from the chain
Gonna get a lot of use out of this one, from today's PA comic
I do love headphones, so I'm set there. Just overly paranoid already, wheeee

i mean you can report a post like normal

TIL
It looks like she has a flowery clip in her mouth so maybe she unclipped the necklace so it’s sliding down her heaving bosom.
Don't worry they both sell out!
And now that I'm employed again I basically have to hope they exist at some random time I check each day!

Nope. It's right there.

It doesn't always work on mobile due to focus and scrolling issues. I've had it succeed after canceling and clicking again though
sometimes it doesn't look like you can but if you attempt to scroll down it will reveal the buttons
it's definitely not optimized for mobile
And Toriyama's drawing of an actual black person isn't great either.
I apologise all the same.
They tried to make him blue at one point to fix it?
But also DBZ Abridged's version where they do call out the problem but he's also a horrifying eldritch being that terrifies everyone is hilarious
I don't think people realize how racist it is. It just comes from a different area of thought than racism in the US or a lot of West.
Asia in general is super racist. Usually the most racist against other Asians.

Steak and eggs?
I'd also move towards using a little of strong tasting cheese or meats instead of large amounts of middle of the road stuff.
