I’ve gotten a few DMs from users about them potentially leaving over it.
While i do think the overall statement in the post title is true, I did NOT want to or expect things to go the way they did. Main.
First and foremost, I want to personally apologize to any users that may have been hurt in any way by comments they received or exchanges they had.
I also want to apologize for not keeping a better eye on the comments. As a mod there, I resolve to be better. I made the post, then just handled any reports that came in. Still a few to sort through.
Whomever locked the thread, thank you, I just hopped back on to do that.
So here we are. If anyone has anything to say directly to me, please do. I may not respond immediately due to how things have been going for me offline lately, but as per usual, I basically live here so I am around.
Also I apologize again if this comes off as “me me my feelings.” I get self conscious about that sometimes.
Honestly I don’t think you are the one who needs to be doing any self criticism. It was a fine joke and a whole bunch of white posters in the comments had me feeling
. The Main thing is there is a bunch of people here who don’t understand broad concepts that we discuss between the memes. Like that guy who didn’t understand that so-called “white genocide” is derivative of a conspiracy theory with anti-semetic roots so deep I would be comfortable calling any believer in it an anti-semite. Thats not on you.
I still have no idea what the comments are like, and the thread is locked now, but thank you. Appreciate that.
If any white person feels anything from seeing the word cracker, or mayo, or people saying they hate white people or whatever - that feeling you’re experiencing is reactionary. Time for some self crit.
Just because I’m reacting to a very clearly racist word doesn’t make me reactionaryOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH. oh. Damnit.
I hereby give the crakkker and mayo pass to anyone who wants it
for sale: honky pass, never used
My thoughts exactly.
the main thing here is I don’t think you should be apologizing for shit and you’ve got a list of people to ban
You cannot be racist toward white people. Period. Go cry, white trash reading this.
Agree completely about whites and racism, but “white trash” is a classist term used to ostracise the working class from those more closely aligning themselves with bourgeoisie norms and it’s best to avoid using the term
Good to know, I didn’t know about its history
it’s not your fault, shit sometimes goes weird here fast

Appreciated. I personally do my best to stay out of struggle sessions, so I suppose I’m being a little sensitive here. I just love everyone and want this place to be ok.
Relatable
Like WoofWoof has already said sometimes shit happens
A couple of days ago me and my dog got to the farmer’s market just as it started raining heavily but I got some great veggies and some kim chi and when we got back I toweled him dry
Now he’s all soft and clean like he got a free bath so sometimes shit works out too, don’t beat yourself up over this
I just didn’t want any users here to get hurt is all, and it seems like that was the case.
What mainly happened?
real kkkrakkka posting hours
not corgi but some libs were libbing it up in that thread defending white supremacy 🙄
main
That’s really disappointing. I honestly thought people here knew the difference between actual racism and people shitting on white privilege.
If getting called a cracker makes you start defending white supremacy, you mainly don’t belong here. Period.
kkkrackers can fuck off
like usual, it seems like the stupid comments were mostly from users that have an @ in their username.
Oh, great, THAT struggle session again
Some users got hurt
By the sound of it, it wasn’t your fault at all
(main)
Thank you. I posted it and never checked the comments, only dealt with reports, but some people definitely got hurt.
I was suprised to see that thread blow up. Nothing you posted is or should be viewed as controversial here
the post even said “white people who aren’t comrades” so that kinda showed a lot of asses didnt it?
also, if someone wants to tell me why people are saying “main” a bunch please let me know. I was thinking it was like “mayne” but that seems unlikely.
also, if someone wants to tell me why people are saying “main” a bunch please let me know.
Check the c/main sidebar
lol that’s silly. so uhhhhh main.
I honestly never looked
I don’t think it’s on you, but I do think the users involved should self-crit or GTFO
Thank you. I have not looked at the thread at all, only the mod reports since posting it. I’m not judging anyone here, I just know there were a few comrades who got hurt in the discourse and I do NOT want that happening, Both in general, and on posts that I directly make.
On the contrary, we should take this opportunity to advance anti-crackkker science. May we someday discover how to be racist against white people.
You do raise a good question. I’ll start running experiments.
What definition of ‘racism’ discounts race-based prejudice? Honestly question, it seems counterintuitive.
its just morons reacting to people rightfully shooting back at white people. we’re making fun of the concept of white people and the race realists who take offense at its slander. the main source of the issue here is debatebroism where the annoying users in the thread were trying to thread the needle on something completely unnecessary just to debate.
if somebody even implies a whiff of "well ackshually
" just like ban them or whatever they can make a new account
Real self crit hours who mainly up?
I took a look at the thread upvoted and left. Didnt think it would turn that sour. Main
not your fault corgi
.
What I MAINly take away from this:
Shit happens.
is the main master of guilt-tripping
