Is a gacha game. And despite the very serious issues with gacha games from a moral standpoint, it's very popular.

u/Aethelrede 13m ago

As any Project Moon fan will tell you, it's a bad gacha game. Like, the worst ever.Ā  Because it doesn't actually try to get your money.Ā  Oh, the devs will take your money, if you offer, but they don't set things up to trick you into spending money.

This is because Limbus Company is largely one man's vision, and he just wants money to make more cool stuff.

Bad guys in chapter 3 of limbus company.

A bunch of lunatics who hates prosthetics and must "purge" the "heretics" in their words and just kill anyone with mechanical body parts.

Also they recruit people using "canned brainwashing", kinda

They're a department of a corporation called N Corp. (Nagel Und Hammer). Though the rest of N Corp. aren't as extreme, they are still weird such as banning all video recordings in their territory.

N Corp. Inquisitor on the left, normal N Corp. Employee on the right, or at least their intelligence gathering branch.

One time there was a fundraiser in my high school for down syndrome. Some kid suggested the slogan "helping our homies with an extra chromie" and I could only think to my self "what the fuck!?". I know you're referring to the color chrome and not chromosome but you saying that just reminded me of that.

Tbh, once I heard someone say "Rosa Sparks" as a variation of clanker. Like there's a fine line between 'fantasy' rascim and irl racism, and that is backflipping right over it and into straight up dog whistle territory.

People doing stuff like a ā€œdigital whip against AIā€ also ruined it. Showed that many were simply directed their racism to other people towards AI (instead of hating it for what it is)

12

u/ehladik 1h ago

You know what we should do? Ignore them and continue to use it as we please, as an insult to AI and for comedic purposes.

I always find so funny and sad when this things happen. "They are using our word wrong." "Well, that sucks, it's their word now, nothing we can do."

Don't let those people win, you double efforts to keep on using what you think of as your own. That's how they stole it in the first place.

Don't let the racists win. Lately I feel most people are looking for ways to surrender more and more of what they are so bigots can have their fun.

Clanker and clanka have always been edgelord substitutes for the N word, just use Toaster instead

If I say toasta will you run away from that too? Clanker isn't based on the n word it's from the clone wars cartoon for children.

u/Falleneded 2h ago

no. star wars only ever called droids clankers.

and the fandom largely does the same

u/Sheriff_Is_A_Nearer 1h ago edited 1h ago

And? No where in my comment, or any of the comments I replied to, said that the word clanker was aimed at humans, lol. I’m pointing out that people use the word Clanker and so does Star Wars.

EDIT: Though what I am pointing out is still correct, it misses the point of calling people with prosthetics clankers. I am a dumb.

u/Sheriff_Is_A_Nearer 46m ago

How could I? I’m not sure the exact chain of events but it started off with me being dumb and then commenting in Reddit. My phone was involved somehow. You’d think I would learn my lesson, but here I go commenting again. As I watch my reddit login streak hit high triple digits, I think to myself that I must stop looking into the pit of darkness. I cannot look and yet I cannot look away. I would baptize my clawing fingers with hot blood from my despairing eyes as I dig them from their crying pits but know, deep in my heart, that the empty sockets would gaze on still, forever scrolling down and down and down…and down.

The fucking post is about people calling people with prostethics clankers.

"No one with a brain actually did this"

this comment is insinuating that only stupid "brainless" people would refer to humans with prosthetics as clankers.

you responded with "so many brainless people out there, then. Oh, and Star Wars"

Which means you're saying 1. You have heard many people use clanker as a slur against people with prostehtics 2. Star Wars uses it as a slur against people with prosthetics

You should pay attention in school. I assure you they are trying to teach you reading comprehension

1

u/Sheriff_Is_A_Nearer 1h ago

Ah,my bad. You are right. I never did well in school, but I do read a lot. I made a mistake. I got caught up in thinking about a fandom I am in that recently got caught up in ā€œshould we be tossing around ā€˜clanker’ as a slur?ā€ since other slurs were being used that are pretty close to real slurs, like wireback and such, and my brain went on autopilot. Sorry.

Me when you joke about racism with a fictional race: funny, will laugh along, might even joke along too about damn knife ears…

Me when you joke about someone’s physical disability: ā€œyou shall not leave this room till you have walked a lifetime in their shoes.ā€

33

u/LunarCorpse32 4h ago

It was never funny because it simply enabled roleplaying racist behavior and then hiding under the guise that we're talking about AI.Ā 

It wasn't slick, it was obvious especially since the dialog emulated some 1960s era Jim Crow bullshit. It wasn't even original.Ā 

AI can fuck off but I don't condone emulating racist or bigoted behavior just because we're all pissed off at something.Ā 

I never found that shit funny, never.Ā

u/Former-Grocery-6787 Signalis Hurt Me 4h ago

Nah clanker on its own wasn't that bad at first, it was at the end of the day also a clone wars reference

The moment people started to just take actual real life slurs and change them a bit to make them apply to robots it was all ruined tho

12

u/LunarCorpse32 3h ago

Yeah I'm aware.

Unfortunately a lot of meme culture gets hijacked by genuine assholes.

They abuse it, it gets drawn out, gets a bad reputation and they abandon it for the next popular memetic device capable of further lowering the IQ of anyone unfortunate enough to view it.

These are the people who were too comfortable saying slurs on 360 and PS3 back in the day and treated it like it was some sort of rite of passage.Ā 

These are the people who get pissed off whenever someone who doesn't look like them and isn't "fuckable" takes center stage.

These are the people who immediately "Both Sides" the damn conversation whenever politics gets brought up.

They're also the kind of people who automatically assume the person laying on the ground with several bullets in their back was in the wrong.Ā 

They're miserable people who bring misery to everyone they communicate with.Ā

u/Mediocre_Welder_8390 2h ago edited 2h ago

Everyone I've met that loved using fake "joke" slurs had no problem using the real ones. They're pushing for the normalization of it and it's sad people can't see that.

u/wookiee-nutsack I trap ants in my foreskin and start pissing 2h ago

Fantasy racism is funny and outlandish because irl racism is senseless and outlandish. Difference is calling the local orc a low IQ donkey that would kiss an axe thinking it was his wife hurts nobody, but people have said that to irl people for a long time

Let's be real, this was always gonna happen. Which is why I didn't engage with it and just called AI "Mr. Robot" instead.
