not sure if anyone has already seen this, but it's basically a bunch of levels extracted from old console games that you can noclip around inside.

Zelda, Mario, Dark Souls, etc.

For self defence. 

An interesting discussion came up on Discord.

So there's some facebook rando who said the following words in a post:

Every single gaming subreddit or discord I've wandered into I've had to carefully tiptoe around massive minefields of reactionary rhetoric disguised as Bantz or just guys being dudes. It's almost impossible to find a gaming space that isn't dominated by shitty, skeezy dudes who make The Jokes and then haha, but really, the Fucking Jews, am I right? Not only do you have to actively look for it, you have to know what you're looking for, which a lot of disaffected young men won't! The default state of gaming is a recruiting ground for fucking Nazis.

Generally hard to disagree with that, speaking from my experience.

What's real fucking mindboggling is czg commenting on that post saying "that's the reason I left tf"???

While terrafusion and func have always been foul, ridiculous, and over the top, there has never been any actual, intentional or subliminal, implicit or explicit discrimination?

Then again, maybe I am a fucking idiot.

Discuss. 

I haven't experienced this in the community since I have been active since ~2015.

That being said. The "N" word comes up every so often and the usual "homophobic-ish" joking is prevalent in some corners but it doesn't rise to the level of discrimination.

I cannot speak for other communities because this one is the only one I participate in. 

Actually it was only once in recent memory. The "N" word instance I am referring above was immediately tamped down. It was a Quake-related community not func or #tf.

And trying to derail a useful community discussion.
