I'm pretty sure lots of people in
communities use racist terminology that was derived from Heated G!mer Moments without knowing where it came from. And that's understandable.
It's like the use of (CW: Ableistic slang)
spoiler
"REEEEEE" to describe someone being upset.But some
get so protective of their edgy slang that they cite caveman themed video games from the 90s to justify contemporary use and argue for hours against everyone saying otherwise.
The fgc is profoundly sexist, but it's very multiracial, with a particularly large proportion of black members, including the NB person who is currently held as the best in the genre, sonicfox. It's possible that I just don't know the origin, but I wouldn't guess that it was something anti-black because then there would probably be more pushback against it.
Comrade Sonicfox is exactly the kind of person that inspires bravery in lots of marginalized people, and makes
bigots sooooo mad.
Absolutely, and I'm glad for what they do. I would think since they are pretty outspoken that they or another community figure would say something if there was an issue, even if that lead to r/kappa using the term even more because their only belief is chauvinist contrarianism.
Whenever I hear someone say "kappa" as a punctuation mark unprompted in the internet wild (or, once, offline) it's pretty much always adjacent to bigoted edgelord shit.
