Some bullshit whining about Mexicans calling them wetbacks and some other things, didn't think to screenshot it unfortunately.

So I'm not sure if we saw the same post, but if it was the "punch up not down" post, wasn't Kyoto's point that words used by white europeans from rival nations to tease each other don't carry the same weight as words used to denigrate and harm people from marginalized minority groups? The advocates of "offensive" humor in that thread critically were not trying to make that distinction. While he could've worded it better, I think the sentiment was fair.
Going back to my original point, I think it's mighty interesting that the mods just wiped Kyoto's post (rather than re-wording it, to remove offensive language as you often see), while racism apologetics? A-OK, let's keep that up.

I remember that now. Specifically the “punch up not down”.

I think the fact that somehow people in the gun thread are CONSTANTLY talking about lethality, "joking" about ways conceal to the government how many firearms you own, complaining about gun laws etc. shows what kind of conversation the mods are comfortable with being regular on dakka, when any kind of social justice thread will quickly just get locked down for being "more trouble than it's worth".
To be fair that particular thread has been moderated to remove any conversations that go more than superficially into political topics. All the "boating accident" stuff isn't really political, it's just a not very creative meme being parroted by the same people who have to include SHOVELS HAPPY GAS MASK NOISES in any post that mentions Krieg. And talking directly about practical self defense applications is relevant regardless of your politics, the fact that a handful of well-funded lobbying groups have made it political doesn't meant the discussion must be about politics.
IMO the more significant double standard isn't so much right/left bias, it's fanboy white knighting. Right-wing "anti-wokeness" complaints are allowed because they defend the status quo of everyone's favorite game/movie/etc, left-wing criticisms of the industry are treated more harshly because people don't like seeing their favorite things criticized (and right-wing criticism is usually framed as nostalgia for the "good old days" of everyone's classic favorites). Same thing with stuff like inclusiveness in the hobby, people want to congratulate themselves on how cool the hobby is and not have to face difficult questions like why women are driven away from the community or why people post pride flag marines.

The IncelHammer community is not going to be happy.

There’s no proof. It’s a mistake. GW always uses the wrong words.
Also, who cares? I don’t care. You’re the fool for caring.

I'm still surprised the topic isn't outright banned based on past attempts, because those threads never go well.

The Dune 2 Thread is also a treat!

It gave us the burn “I think you would find the Dune prequels more accessible”, so at least some good came from it.

Does anyone know what the whole Blackrock ESG thing is about? Legitimate corporate malfeasance, conspiracy theory, or a bit of both? I'm still surprised the topic isn't outright banned based on past attempts, because those threads never go well. Honestly, its going somewhat better than I expected and the mods do seem to be putting a fair amount of effort into tidying the thread.

ESG is 'woke' investing according to the right. It's just the new buzzword on the right, in the vein of calling everything they are against by businesses pandering/virtue signalling. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental,_social,_and_governance Edit: for clarification Blackrock is a GW investor and accused of being 'woke' because they supported ESG.

Pretty much, investors trying to expand your customer base and make more money is so obviously woke leftism.
