[QUOTE="Sepulchrave II, post: 8503358, member: 4303"] I think that the point that [USER=5142]@Aldarc[/USER] is making, is that there is plenty of implicitly racist (and misogynistic/transphobic) material dressed as more thoughtful critique available in the public square. It is often presented as criticism of diversity quotas, or a general beef with "wokeness." I'm thinking in particular - with reference to our shared nerdy interests - broadcasters such as Nerdrotic, Geeks & Gamers, the Critical Drinker etc. The fact of the matter is that pandering to the "anti-woke" crowd gets lots of clicks and is easy money - I think that in many cases, producers of this material are actually pretty cynical, and realize that they can make $$ complaining about the fact that there will be Black actors appearing in Amazon's TLOTR (or whatever). I've recently been watching a channel called "History Debunked" on YouTube - it's racist garbage, and I certainly don't recommend it, but I think in general it's sometimes important to swim in the sh*t in order to smell just how pervasive this reactionary material is. These echo chambers resonate with each other, and the algorithms self-sustain and perpetuate. This is precisely how people get sucked into the Alt-Right rabbit hole without realizing it. [/QUOTE]
