People with 88 in their usernames are probably people who’ve been rocking the same username for 20+ years at this point. I think my username naming scheme hasn’t changed since I was single digits in age logging intk AIM and MSN Messenger
I dunno, if I had a username (I don’t care how old) and found out it had a racist dogwhistle, I’d change accounts.
Like how my fiance came home onr day and threw out his Punisher shirt because “asshole cops are co-opting the Punisher, even though they’re exactly whose asses the Punisher would be beating on!”
That’s how appropriation works though, by forcing out the people who used it in its original context.
However, I think Marvel redesigned the Punisher’s skull logo thing purely because of that. Those who use the old one are guaranteed to be asshole cop and trump supporters who completely missed the memo.

I’d argue that by making it so only the people who use dogwhistles use it, it now becomes a fog horn. No one in 1910 cared about a Hindu symbol for peace. People cared a lot by the end of 1945.

Very good point.
Mine is old enough to drink (21+ in USA)…
Wait are we supposed to ask if you are dog whistling or not? Now I don’t know.
