By 2023 since everyone is racist now according to progressive and since it's been thrown around so much it has lost all meaning.
Lost meaning but not power, especially in corporate America. Being called racist is just about the most scary thing other than bankruptcy to any company, enough to make them fire any employee prior to any sort of due process to determine the facts

Which is why it’s so easy to bully companies using the threat of the word

I see what you're saying. It appears the power is slowly waning as well as the meaning changed. There is more push back for evidence now. Without Twitter brigading its become much harder.

Equality racism vs equity racism.

Neologisization(sp? Too bad nerd.) is the permanent revolution.

Essentially accusers of racism are now held in suspicion because of overuse. Crying wolf only works for so long.

I have found the easiest way to defeat Equity Racism is to bring up Content of Character. Don't even need to bring up MLK's colorblind framework. Just keep bringing up Content of Character. Most Americans are onboard with that version of racism even though academics disagree. It possibly going to have one of the biggest backfire effects that the University has ever tried.

Many of the millennials that went to college graduated with student debt.

Many of Gen Z that went to college graduate with student debt and and also framework of looking at race that is not too different from segregationist thinking.

Remind the Gen Z they were taught support segregationism. Bring up books that helped you see past the indoctrination you received at college like Lies My Teach Told me. Trust me it works. If they are offended that is good just let them know that their ideas for race are not the majority in America. Ask them if the believe in democracy.

Pin them down on why they changed their belief system so rapidly and remind them of the silliness of collectivist thinking for folks trying to get ahead in America.

honestly just close down the forums, or limit them to just game discussion. there is no reason to have political discussion here or any of the other off topic lunacy that gets posted here. i can't think of a worse first impression a person could get about p99 than if they googled around and ended up here before actually playing.

Uh oh then the game might not be as big of a commercial success. What will Sony do?

Sent very similar sentiments up via petition. Made it to Senior Guide for rule inquiry review given your very same concerns. Asked for inquiry to be sent to current admin and also asked who current admin was. Was told inquiry would not be sent and was not told who current admin is.

Takeaway: Forums are currently enforced at mods discretion given time constraints rather than stated rules.
