!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

So when are women allowed back in the kitchen? Is there a point where you dont get a raised eyebrow because of stodgy outdated stereotypes? Is there a point where women can be in the kitchen without it being framed as "bad optics"? How about Black people eating watermelon and fried chicken? Or east Asians who are good at math and science? Indians in medicine and IT? The British and cultural appropriation?

Seeing everything through the eyes of stereotypes only diminishes the world, even if youre ostensibly defending against it.

Don't show it first.
Not that difficult.

I don't know why I should respond to that. You list a bunch of things I did not say and ignore that the main point of my comment was that there's a difference between individuals and a celebration/commemoration. Feel free to disagree, but please don't put words in my mouth to argue against.
