I'm not a huge fan of it either yeah :/ take antisemitic holocaust denial meme -> use it for the very legitimate purpose of pointing out black book of communism lies?? Not very cash money...
It's future fodder for libs to claim tankies are proud genocide deniers who use genocidal language in the same manner as Nazis.
I think it's a lot more sus than "glowie" or "spook", which have uses much more clearly divorced from their racist origins, but a lot of us have given those up regardless. (I don't really care about using these either way, but I am not marginalized, so I avoid them. Not my call)
Wait, glowing (and its variants) have racist origins? I suppose I'm not surprised given 4chan, but I didn't know that. Could you explain?
Glowing was coined by Terry Davis, the same guy who made TempleOS. He used it in the sense of "CIA n***** glow in the dark"
Spook is way older as an antiblack slur, but that's never been the primary meaning.
