It's telling how you think that the context somehow makes this 'better'.
It doesn't, at all.
Jokes that are the product of a bigoted mind always carry the stink with it but people who align with said bigotry never notice because they are STEEPED in it constantly.
Just like when people grow up and leave 4chan and the realize in horror that what they thought is normal there, is VERY much not normal.
Which is why when edgelads try to repeat jokes they got off of forums in real life, it always comes off as creepy and flat.
Outside of extremely lefty places like lemmy jokes like that are acceptable and if you called that joke out as bigoted then people would consider you odd. It's not even an edgy joke it just has a racial punchline.
I get the feeling that your only experiences outside of lemmy are 4chan and new.reddit if you think bigotry is that normalized.
Please never join the fbi. There won't be a single gamer who isn't an extremist in your eyes.
Also you're delusional to assume my only internet experience is new reddit and 4chan. There is no one on this site who's internet experience is new reddit and 4chan. That person doesn't end up on the fediverse.
Shit son I've been a gamer so long my first controller only had one button.
You got zero induction going on in your thinkmeat but you assume you know everyone.
As if they weren't here day one. You're blind if you don't smell the reek of underbed cumsock in the bottom of most popular threads.
Or just hiding your power level.
I don't care how long you've been a gamer its obvious you're old and out of touch.
How could this new reddit/4chan user have been here day 1 if the fediverse dates back much longer than new reddit.
