I'll address the people who've replied to me recently and then I'm out of the thread.

1.) @ThatDamnWalrus if you're willing to admit the Black Lives Matter is an important movement which is not full of looters and rioters then I'm happy to drop my grudge against your past racism because that will have proved to me you understand the issue America has with its institutionalized racism.

2,) @dankoa I'm told you have had issues with addiction in the past. Racism and homophobia are not even close to identical issues, but I believe them to be mental illnesses like addiction is. If one is able to learn and put themselves on the correct path away from those isms and others then I believe that like we should accept those who have been able to stabilize themselves from addiction we should be willing to accept those who renounce their racism, homophobic, other isms then they have no incentive to change and our society will never improve. Hence the point about people being given a second chance.

3.) @JumpierPegasus I didn't mean to incorrectly insinuate that you were for the use of slurs with the creation of your player. I apologize for that, I'm glad to know that wasn't what happened.

as far as i know racist people dont become physically reliant on saying the n word. I get the point you're making but when you describe recovering addicts as a group that need to be accepted, it sounds like you're saying that addiction is a choice the same way being racist or homophobic is. Don't get me wrong, I understand that for people to overcome an entire childhood and teenagehood of racist values and morals handed down by racist parents, it is incredibly hard to just change worldviews, but you don't need to go to rehabilitation clinic to do so, and the information to change that worldview is publicly available wherever you look.
