Clanker is just an excuse to get away with saying something close enough to the N-word for these people
It's already gross enough when they say shit like that and then titter away like a school kid who got away with saying dookie
It's worse when you can tell they're using it as an actual slur
TBH they give the whole game away when they say "Wireback". "Clanker" had the excuse of being from Star Wars, there's no way to get to "Wireback" without deriving directly from an actual racial slur and no reason to do so other than to tear the mask off for all your fellow chuds while keeping only barely a small layer of "plausible" deniability for the civility lib audience.
For real
And it's so fucking exhausting being like "Hey, i'm Hispanic, please don't talk like that, it's really messed up" only to get a barrage of "Chill out man, we're only pretending"
And it's like, out of everything you could use your imagination to do, you chose to be a racist?
Average fantasy author creating their races
"Pretend Racist"
"Real Racist"
Only pretending to be a member of the KKK, LMAO.
