Maybe the solution is to stay off Twitter, but it’s very disturbing to see the normalization of slurs happening in real time on there. White people saying the n-word with approval, the return of saying “gay” as a pejorative, lots of casual racism against Indian men, using the r-slur to describe something seen as stupid. I don’t know whether this is a larger cultural lurch to the right, or whether it’s mostly attributed to Musk’s elimination of quality control and monitors on the platform.
I mean, did you hear the Matt Healy episode? And they only got in trouble for that one because Swifties heard about it. They were still definitely doing a lot of the same humor.
I said largely lol. That episode was released over a year ago and got taken down anyway.
