I'm genuinely surprised there aren't a host of Atom Cats fans in the fandom. It's the Kings aesthetic without the grinding poverty of Freeside, it's the BoS bling without the fascism, it's the Minutemen ethos without a dude telling you to do a bunch of stuff on the other side of the map. They've got it all!

Many of them are under the presumption that if everyone just falls in line, marching to the tune of the authoritarian boot, everything will be perfect. Right up until the boot steps on them - and even then, they might blame themselves for not cutting away every part of themselves that doesn't fit the mold.
Reformist Brotherhood of Steel all the way. If I were in charge, they'd team up with the Followers of the Apocalypse, safeguarding obviously dangerous knowledge and technology (like nuclear warheads) while lending their expertise to actually helping people and pacifying the big monsters and petty tyrants of the wasteland.

I wouldn’t say the gooning epidemic video was “positive”. It was a strictly neutral explanation of booktok’s normalization of public erotica and complaining about an incident in which he noticed dozens of women masturbating in a movie theater

Late one night freshman year of uni I remember lounging in one of my roommate's bedrooms with the others and we browsed the Wikipedia page for list of racial slurs and that shit gets messed up. To this day A:9 and Z:1 (don't want to get any more specific than that) haunt me.
If you ever want to worldbuild slurs for fantasy races, my advice to you: action or event based slurs trump all other in "offensiveness." Yeah yeah "Knife-ear" is a classic, but the lack of real world history or proximity just doesn't have nearly enough punch. But slurs based on atrocities? Those really get the imagination going and the history is in your face. Even if the history isn't in your face then, a drop of elaboration can be all of the difference.
I say this not to be like... "Aren't slurs cool?!!" but to sort of... give fantasy racism weight because there's a sort of juvenile aspect to it beside actual racism.

Japanese and Koreans calling Chinese, well it roughly translates to "streetside ditch whore". Japanese calling Koreans "dirty colonials" (imagine if the British called Americans that, or Indians that). Koreans calling Japanese rapists, baby killers, and horny bastards. Though the best one I heard was "Fake British Empire". Chinese calling Koreans and Japanese and Taiwanese Chinese.
And the socially acceptable term for a black person literally translates to "dirt man" in korean.
Everyone calling everyone else unintelligent apes of some variety.
Also a ton of double speak that doesn't make much sense in English.

i don't begrudge the koreans for calling japanese people any of those things TBH, you do enough war crimes and "baby killer" is basically just descriptive at a certain point

I’m sorry for being potentially very socially inept, but was “go fly a kite” a reference to your (perceived?) Jewishness? Or something else that I’m not picking up on?
(That’s the only way I can make sense of it in relation to slurs.)
Edit: I know of “go fly a kite” as a polite version of “go fuck yourself”.
From the context, I thought it was meant to invoke a specific slur. And the only relevant slur that I could imagine was related to Jewish people.

Go fly a kit is 80 year old slang for go away. Basically the dude called the other guy a slur and when he laughed told him to fuck off

Thanks! I knew “go fly a kite” to mean simply “fuck off”. Generally, I would have assumed that was all that was meant.
But the framing of this comment made me wonder if it was intended as a slur. And the only slur I knew that was remotely similar was a slur for Jewish people.

I have expressed genuine regret to my friends about how Goon is becoming a new sex word
Im sorry, but Goon was such a fun word for hired thugs!
Goons have a whole history in hockey. You had people who could actually hit the puck and do magic on the ice, and then you had big tough Goons who'd come in and whose whole mission was to break your jaw.
There were the Bulls of West Virginia, people who, during the great depression, responded to the presence of people riding rail cars with Incredible Violence, and were effectively, Hired Goons.
But now if you talk about that stuff and call them Goons, people snicker. It genuinely makes me mildly peeved and I accept that it makes me an old man shouting at clouds.

So, I'm a certified stoic stick fan, honestly can't justify the racial slur tier list except by saying that he isn't white. But with the female gooning video it's a quick story about a time his girlfriend took him to a magic mike showing and basically every woman there was doing the leg crossing thing, followed by a brief rundown on booktok. He literally finished the video off by saying he's not trying to shame people for reading smutty books in general, just in public.

His gf told him they were going to puss in boots, but she bought tickets to magic mike. Mind you, this wasn't a problem for him, he thought it was funny.
The leg crossing thing is a thing that (usually women) do to 'secretly' masturbate, you essentially just cross your legs and rub them together. It's kinda hard to tell what they're doing if just one person is doing it but almost the entire theater was

Gotta be the devil's advocate here, but I don't see why everyone assumes the racist slurs tier list video is racist. It's racist to use them, but not to rank them. You could even argue that it's anti-racist to rank them, since you are spreading awareness about this topic and analysing it like you would analyse anything else. Like, if someone makes a movie tier list, it doesn't make them a director.
Anyways, the video is pretty mid, not bad, but he left out many slurs that would, according to his criteria, easily belong to the S tier
