It's future fodder for libs to claim tankies are proud genocide deniers who use genocidal language in the same manner as Nazis.
I think it's a lot more sus than "glowie" or "spook", which have uses much more clearly divorced from their racist origins, but a lot of us have given those up regardless. (I don't really care about using these either way, but I am not marginalized, so I avoid them. Not my call)

Wait, glowing (and its variants) have racist origins? I suppose I'm not surprised given 4chan, but I didn't know that. Could you explain?
Glowing was coined by Terry Davis, the same guy who made TempleOS. He used it in the sense of "CIA n***** glow in the dark"
Spook is way older as an antiblack slur, but that's never been the primary meaning.
