Over the last week I could swear I've seen way more LIB types suddenly throwing around the word troglodyte left right and centre

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 freeze-gamer 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. gamer-gulag
