Do you think doing that sort of thing unironically has no effect, even subtly, on the biases you are reinforcing in yourself or others? I'm not going to have the "language has no effect" argument here.
Okay, and who gets to decide where that line falls? You? Because it sure seems like the zeitgeist has moved away from casual racism, otherwise scaremongering about the cancel-goblins coming for your free speech would be a lot less popular (and let's not forget, profitable).
Nah, it hasn't moved anywhere, it has only became unevenly disrupted. There's still a fairly open and fast growing market for "casual racism" geared towards Asians, Slavs, and the amalgamated yet all inclusive White man.

I can't say, I don't know, I don't have the right vernacular to convey my answer...
What's the opposite of the word "No"? -

Who is @Generic-User? Why does it have permission to add things to the the game list?

Yeah, make the awards an actual metric... That way I can go through and look for the ones with "biggest waste of dev time ever" awards!
Ok awards time!

People are inherently prejudiced toward or against every superficial trait you can find on someone, that doesn't mean putting stock in them is desirable or that the playing field is in any way level. Saying "well we're all a little racist" is just a personal convenience to excuse whatever you feel like.
It's not whatever I feel like, we have laws against workforce discrimination and such, and for good reason: only a moron keeps a highly qualified person out of a job because of their genetic denomination. But lets say that I work with Moshe as an equal everyday and buy lunch bagels from his sister; what's the issue with me going home, swigging a beer, and cracking a Jew joke to my family during dinner? I think absolutely nothing.

I mean, no? A straight guy checking out a dude on a beach is all part-and parcel of the human experience. Actually wanting to have gay sex is crossing the line of what can be considered purely heterosexual. It's the same difference between a racist joke and actual discriminatory practice.
5 hours ago, Shaddy said:It's actually really easy to not get called racist by a fake caricature created by reactionary grifters for youtube clicks like the mythical "SJW" cryptid. Why should you demonize the rest of the world for not treating your personal incompetence with kid gloves?
It is a caricature, but what's the problem? It's just a super-set of Antifa, Anarcho-communists, half of BLM, stand alone blue checkmark hot takers, and others- "SJW" sure beats saying that mouthful. -

Annihilation tackles themes that Stalker doesn't, and it is more visually impressive, as well as having, in my opinion, more enjoyable pacing. Not that it's better than Stalker, but it's not just more of the same.
I did enjoy the book but I've never seen the movie (Annihilation).
What I love about Stalker is that everything in and around the zone can be taken at face value, or explained rationally. So the story can be viewed as a schizo urban explorer seeing patterns in a smoke stack, a supernatural adventure, or something in between.
Annihilation is more linear, as in the supernatural elements are beyond any reasonable doubt.

I mean...yeah there is. "The other guy" is not an entire ethnic group(s). Humans are also naturally cooperative and social. Every time someone isn't is a choice they make.

Damn, sorry about the people you hang out with on nationalism day.
The predominantly black(working class) BBQs I've been to have the same level of racist banter being thrown around. Humans are tribalistic, there nothing wrong with throwing out a jab or two at the "other guy" while eating corn on the cob.
