It's usually done as a strategy to try to fit in, to be "one of the good ones," or sometimes just self loathing given a signal boost by chuds in the same community.

It's saddening how many people, especially trans people, call themselves d-word-popularized-by-nazis, for example. Or marginalized ethnic group members that use the very slurs that are used to justify putting people like them into camps.

It's fucked up, but I am often at a loss for how to reach those people, or if such a thing is even possible. :doomer:

EDIT: It seems this is important enough to :freeze-gamer: that alt accounts must be mustered to rage at me about it. :jokah-messy:

    Why would you think it's likely to find a random black person minding their own business who would instantly escalate to violence when they're told the n-word is bad? Do you think regular people are just itching to start throwing hands at the first white idiot that talks to them? You sound insecure

      Because OrganizeOrDie was prepared to LARP as being From Da Hood on this latest alt after reading a lot of 4chan greentext.
