#clanker discourse

[alter-q]

clanker discourse is funny to me because I've only ever heard black people say it irl (and a majority of the content I see where it's used is from black creators) and the comparison to the n word is funny because people are very open about it being a slur?? a slur for robots. who do not have feelings. Sometimes I almost forget Tumblr is full of white people who want to be seen as woke. I'm not sure why we're picking "the n word" as what clanker is supposed to be "replacing" when imo it could easily be compared to literally any other slur in the English language. It's just odd to me. White and nonblack people continue to speak for black people over and over again.

white tumblr users will literally complain about how "jokingly" saying racial slurs to chatbots affects otherkin and transhumanists before they think about how it affects the entire nonwhite population

white people are so eager to create slurs, and then create fake black people to do Jim Crow to. its disgusting.
