Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn’t use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn’t know the origin of the term ‘ricing’ until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it’s from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.
Nobody has called the entire community racist, the callouts have been exclusively to people like you defending a term that obviously plays with one of the most common racial stereotypes about East Asians. Taking a racist term out of context doesn’t make the term not racist, it only means that a still racist term has gained even wider use.
Again I have personally not once defended the use of the term, I have only ever attacked hexbear code of conduct. I even stated that I am for not using it in a since (mod) removed comment. I thought the term was dumb even before I (like most of this comm) found out about the origins through this thread. The only context in which I have defended it is in this convo and only in the aspect of the response it has gotten from hexbear, which if you don’t feel is entirely disproportionate, we have nothing more to talk about.
You’re straight-up lying, kiddo.

It’s mommy, please edit your post while i look up your defense of racism in the modlogs. I’d have to report you for purposefully leaving up a misgendering otherwise and i don’t think your account will survive that after all these comments have already been removed.
Lmao, I won’t idulge your powertrip, which at this point is blatant. I might have if you had actually asked nicely not through a thinly veiled threat. If it doesn’t survive your report, so be it. Let the record show I included both versions because I had no clue what your pronouns are and I don’t think your infantilizing response warrants any more respect from me than that.
I retract my statement, of course you’re also a transphobe besiodes being a racist, a diaper fetishist and the most pathetic pencil-headed dweeb i’ve seen since federation began.
Oh, and those transphobe claims too.
Quote up on those racist claims there buddy (that one is gender neutral, afaik).
BTW this really isn’t a good look for somebody who’s already revealed their breastfeeding fetish, maybe you want to cut that part out entirely.
Your fantasies of my breastfeeding fetish really dont phase me.
lol stfu diaper boy
Wow, way to show your true colors :D Its pretty funny I have seen attempts at me to kinkshame and fatshame from the civil inclusivity instance.
