some choice quotes

redditor implies saying cracker is cringe: Either way, it's cringe to use a slur, especially the amount that some people in Hasan's community use it. A lot of them are probably larping/baby socialist 20-year-olds that only know the term because of Hasan's community.

an unlikely ally: I have no horse in this race, nor do I think that what Hasan thinks should be over how an actual Cuban person feels about a word, meaning if Destiny says it's fucked, that should be the end of it... But as an Argentinian and what I just saw on that clip....that list is bullshit lol

a walk through memory lane: I remember when vandalizing Wikipedia was the internet beef equivalent of a war crime and would make you universally hated for even attempting it. Now we have fanbases like Keffals' and Hasan's who find it perfectly morally acceptable to manipulate Wikipedia to push their agendas.

It's also important how and why they use it.

Destiny is born and raised in the US, his mom was a child when her family fled Cuba.

They call him a dehumanizing word in Spanish, just because his Mom is Cuban American. And they use his politics as a shield, even though they would never call a person with no Cuban/Latin heritage this word.

:michael-laugh: Every different culture has a term for their variant of this sort of counterrevolutionary. We normally use that term, though I do see people using gusano to refer to all sorts of counterrevolutionaries around the world.
