thinking about when dial a daniel ran around for months openly adopting supremacist aesthetic, shouting FACE TRAITOR at 'wrong faced' halflings and calling for 'facial cleansing' of everyone who didnt have the daniel day lewis face, while DMO studiously avoided overt racist aesthetic over their core of actual racism, for no particular reason

Almost as if one was overt satire and the other was edgelord race-baiting.

I think a better one would be a guild that only accepts melee in skele form (AoN, shroud of undeath) and call it Wright Power.

If you think about it, classic EQ offers a pretty racist experience.

I mostly play dark elves or iksars, and they are not welcome in Freeport.

You are proving my point

You people see skin color in EVERYTHING and most of you are probably white manbabies with moobs

If someone created a guild named "Felwithe Power" and they were paladins, clerics and wizards who all worshipped Tunare, I'm sorry, but rational, NORMAL people wouldn't equate that name to White Power

That's absurd and a stupid leap in logic

The dirty little secret is weak and spineless (most likely white) keyboard manbabies hurl that accusation around like a weapon because it gives them the power to bully other people without being held accountable

Except most people aren't white, they're mixed but pass for being white or black, etc. Felwithe is an anagram of white elf but you knew that already, having been on the forums this long. Being aggressive towards an aggressor isn't bullying, it's a natural reaction, even if the aggressor is being as passive aggressive as possible. Really though, this isn't even the kind of groupthink that has taken over most subreddits. It's just people saying they had it coming. Pretending keyboards are pitchforks, it's still not like those in question aren't typing here as well, at an equal or greater rate than most everyone else.

DMO brought it upon themselves with their other antics and then they had the bright idea to bring it up in RnF. They ranted, now they're getting flamed. Lump this in with virtue signaling, cancel culture, or whatever else makes you feel better about it.

In the end though, mature, well-adjusted adults would accept the results and move on instead of trying to paint themselves as (the real) victims. It was an otherwise cool guild concept, ruined by trolls who can't have fun unless they're constantly pushing the envelope, challenging anyone with critical thinking skills to call them on their BS.

Any trending [words] will reduce the larger conversation down to a predictably meaningless back and forth. A tale told by idiots full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
