Everyone check out and support AbleGamers! They've been working on accessible game development longer than almost anyone and have done some super cool stuff.
This is definitely making me Rage
Seems to me like the one locked door and the literal hiding room would be the two most important places to look. How did they ever consider the search done without going in these two rooms?
Specific strings of letters are filtered in some instances. So it isn't that word, it's the 4 letters that are being filtered out in the middle of the word. But apparently it's only on some instances.
Lol yep, what a weird freaking place
Took me so long to figure out what the word around the "removed" was. For others (using a symbol so it isn't removed again), I think it is "susp|cion"
Good to know, thank you! Yet more reasons to avoid it
I think the point is that to you, it's just semantics. But, to use your example, given that some people have started intentionally using "female" in place of "woman" as an (arguably) subtle way to exclude trans women, it suddenly becomes more than semantics to both trans and anti-trans populations. That's what Smotherlove is saying about "dog whistle" language only being transparent to the perpetrator and the victim.
So from your/my perspective (admittedly assuming you're neither trans nor anti-trans), it's largely a case of "a few rotten apples ruining it for the rest of the bunch." What should just be a semantic difference has been coopted and intentionally weaponized by some, so all of us have to be conscious of whether or not we're making that worse.
It's also not a new phenomenon. Many epithets start as PC terms and then become offensive based on how a specific group starts to use them, notably, almost every one-time PC terms for Black Americans and people of color. Unfortunately, it's basically the reason that, for at least 100 years, (responsible) individuals/media have had to change terms for many marginalized peoples every 10-20 years, with many other examples, like "Oriental" and the terms that predate it, and plenty of others.
I was recently in palm springs, and not only is it among the shittiest-vibe towns I've visited, with some of the worst restaurants I've been to anywhere in California, I saw a depressing, near windowless, one-story home with no yard for sale at $3M. Their market made absolutely zero sense, I feel like this was inevitable, especially after speculative building during the pandemic.
This must be how you get "binders full of women"
Semenal album more like it
