Gaming subculture normalizing Nazi terminology 

The popularization and more widespread adoption of "degenerate" (variously "degen" or "degeneracy") among Gamers is becoming a serious fucking problem. Imageboard nazis imported it to their Discord servers and other social timelines over time, no doubt. Is this impacting the mental health of anybody else? I already feel like it has reached a level of acceptability in many circles that protesting the verbage used by Nazi Propagandists in their "race science" will get you socially ostracized. There have been plenty of things to ostracize me from these spaces before that point, but I am curious about the observations of people who have higher tolerance for bullshit in order to still feel included despite all the red flags. Have you observed this too? How have they reacted if you voiced distaste for using Nazi propganda terms to describe play-styles in fighting games and such?

Do I by definition play like a "dirty Jew" by fucking projectile camping too much in a fighter these days? How do people stand this crap?

@thufie i keep getting chased out of queer spaces for arguing against goddamn pepe, i havent set foot in "gamer" spaces in a long while i have no fucking idea what to do or why i would subject myself to it

@rachaelspooky @thufie oh god, that stuff has been either heavily frowned upon or straight-up banned in every queer space I've been in, so this surprises me :<
