When I joined this forum I got absolutely shocked at the amount of nwords and other slurs being carelessly posted which led me to refrain from interacting with others for a while until I could digest what I was reading.
Unfortunately, I forced myself to take in with the blatant racism in order to be accepted by users, but as a bipoc male deep down I was being hurt by all those mean words.
I understand it's part of this forum culture, but humor can't be an excuse for racism and recently I've started to avoid using the nword and other dehumanizing terms such as f*id to refer to women.
I thought about "nuking" my posts granting myself a fresh start but that would be insincere and I want to show you guys everyone can change for the better and I'm still trying to be more accepting day by day.
It's just weird, people just treat each other so horribly sometimes and people take pride in it as if it's something funny.
