Leaning into the "porn" part of unixporn, we could say we"fluffed" our setup. Because like fluffers, we're making things bigger an more attractive to show off.

I think the racists connotation came first, but I also heard it explained as an acronym - "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement"
The hexbear squad is really brigading the fuck out of this thread.
400 comments total is rookie numbers. You should check out the news posts involving either Russia, China, or Taiwan. Or check out this post where the admins of lemm.ee asked for the users' opinions of whether to defederate from hexbear.net. There are 1884 comments. (There was once more than 1900 comments, but I guess the mods removed some.)
too much discussion on your discussion platform?

It's not a pejorative toward asian men at all. Not everyone is as racist as you.
So you are saying, all this time, we have been ricists!?
I first heard the term "ricer" from some Asian kids I knew in high school so I've never really considered it racist. But then... The N word is also mostly used by black guys (in my experience; don't run into too many super racist people who use it) and it is racist so... 🤷🏻♂️
Discussions like this always bring me back to one thing...can a word itself be racist? Is it racist to use a word if it's not being said with racist intent? It's reminiscent of the gimp debacle...if a words use isn't intended to offend it's honestly beyond me how anyone could find it offensive. Are we supposed to ban every single word that has the slightest history of being used in an offensive fashion? Feel like we'd have a really long list if we did that.
