  • The post is circumstantial and immediate (“the dong is shrinking”), so it speaks to a ongoing condition. Further, the fact that it’s Asian is not a core part of the joke, so it doesn’t play into negative stereotypes. If the currency belonged to Uzbekistan, it’d be the same amount funny.

    My comment was saying that the only people who would make the joke you sought to be “inb4” are bigots that the community would have already downvoted and moved on from. If you don’t know what “preempt” means, you can search an online dictionary.

    You coming into the comments to dribble out not even the stereotype, but a lazy reference to a tired stereotype about Asians, is a worse form of the post. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt while also seeding you an ‘out’ from the direct interpretation that your comments reeks of “I’m too lazy to even commit to my negative stereotypes”.

    I’m no longer inclined to do that.


  • It’d just be a silvery stone. That you’re supposed to operate technopathically. Because all humans get a technopathic link when they are gestated.

    Or it’s a sword made of bronze. Because we’re in the Bronze Ages v7 and the dominant species is humanoid bears.

    Or there’s nothing because a sieve bomb perfectly deleted any manmade product from the planet, reseting it to a primordial state.

    We can’t even pretend to guess technology from even 1000 years in the future, let alone 100,000 years. This is just a creative writing prompt with basically no constraints or rules.

    The “hyperindividualist escape” is one thing.

    But conceding, and even condemning, the desire to have all the food(s) you enjoy, to become good at something, and to enjoy both the natural and man-made beauty of this planet as “white” activities is giving whiteness too much credit. The natural world is beautiful and has been populated by even more beatiful things despite whiteness. So hell yeah, I’d love to spend a lifetime getting to experience it firsthand, while eating my favorite foods and becoming good at something.

    Whiteness drained and is still draining the life and riches out non-white people and places. Why the hell would you grant them an exclusive claim on any types of non-destructive fun too?

    “Who gets to travel the world forever?” Yeah, and “who gets to vote and have land?” “Who gets to learn at university?” Don’t just cede good shit to whiteness.
