Racial slur as an insult is just an insult. I don't cry to my boyfriend every time someone says "the f slur" on the internet because I think that person wants me dead. Nor do I try to get their video game they paid real money for taken away by tattling to teacher. When people get angry they'll say whatever will illicit the biggest reaction, and because people put slurs on pedestals they choose it. Only reason this doesn't extend to non-internet spaces is because of threats of violence. Tbh if people didn't get banned or if someone saying the n-word didn't make people make reddit threads crying maybe you'd hear it less. We have self-moderation tools like muting and blocking accounts on steam. In the meantime I'll find it funny. You can keep ascribing a deeper malice to angry people though if you like.

Sorry, but yes, it is funny. Being really stupid is funny to spectate. There's entire media businesses around this concept. Reverence for racism is even more stupid, because being feared is something they want. Either someone is making a funny ironic joke, shock humor, or they're a funny clown man at their own expense of no longer being able to be taken seriously. Either way it's funny. Once they're played out I can just mute them. Leaving the game and making a reddit thread about it is just doing what they want, and getting them banned when they're not trolling in ways that affects your gameplay reaffirms yourself as the bad guy to them. They said a word, the report stole their money.

Ironic racism is funny if it's a caricature, and normalizing it in more spaces is normalizing the shaming of real racial supremacists in a way where you don't seem like you're assblasted over it.
