I mean it’s not at all practical to say it’s just people adore the idea but won’t use it
prob cuz no one actually knew what it was, or at least me and I kinda still don’t, I just see people use it and think yeah sure
i much prefer flashwagon as terminology even if it’s less accurate just because of my general policy of Trying Not To Be Racist If I Can
I think flashwagon is too impractical to say on phone when typing as fast as possible but I don’t usually say flashwagin or CFD I say we should kill x maybe
oh i mean like. it’s a familiar racist trope over here. the customary british name for the game americans generally called telephone is “chinese whispers”, referencing an insanely racist stereotype about chinese people
I think we just call it telephone? If we are talking about the same game
oh you said that
yes we are
I read half the post
Skim reading example with Litten
The villaging with Litten experience
my reads are still more accurate than most of the thread
now admittedly this is just a britain thing. hardly a country that can be trusted not to be insanely racist, homophobic and transphobic. hell, it can trusted to be those things. but also it’s not like this isn’t a general problem in the anglosphere
based
STOP READING POSTS
YEARS OF FULL POSTS YET NO USE FOR GOING BEYOND THE FIRST SENTENCR
so true

one of the most insane youtube comments that i Cannot Post is under a song by the band Sea Power, formerly British Sea Power, that goes:
“Great song! but absurd that the band changed their name becasue of the racist elements in society”
and then the profile picture of the person posting that comment is of a kind of racist doll that’s sold to this day in Britain whose name I refuse to say because of it is itself is a racial slur

you find such magiaclly awful things in the comments section of youtube music autogenerated songs
