Am I missing something? What's racist about it?
No fucking idea, these people are nuts.
It was originally announced for PC and PS, so in all likelihood it will be a timed exclusive for consoles.
Often those article are impossible I understand has the publication will not say, play or show anything in a picture that would be racist, leaving the retard no idea what was the racing things and with no capacity to judge if it was.
I totally don't get it either. Hard R? Maybe I am just too old to get why that's racist and I thought I heard them all at some point in my life. I think Kyle is in trouble then, considering the name "[H]ardforum" contains all those letters in the image lol.
Apparently, Hard R is a reference to the N word … meaning … instead of nigga … the other one is pronounced with a hard R. I personally think both uses of the word are stupid, but that’s another topic entirely.
I didn't even make that connection and I just watched a Bill Burr comedy clip a few days ago that kind of said something similar that made me laugh my a** off. I thought it was nod from the dev that the game was "harder" that other games. Dam at this rate everything will have some kind of offensive connotation.
It was originally used to refer to "retard" back when Reddit and other platforms started to ban the use of the word. I was equally as confused as you the first time I saw the connection to the word "nigger" instead. Don't let people gaslight you into believing that it was always used to represent the latter.
That’s what I thought. I’m glad I’m not having a Mandela Effect moment. What a stupid thing to change.
Why are people afraid of boobs?
Why are people afraid of beautiful bodies?
Maybe this is off-topic
... what?
Yeah I find it funny that automotive Youtubers, when talking about setting the timing on a distributor, can not use the correct wording for "retarding" the timing, or YT takes it down.
I guess it's risky to start a channel about fire retardant related products.
No it hasn't, unless you're 12 years old and don't remember anything before social media ruined everything.
yeah gay and retarded were always tossed around, neither meaning what people tried to imply they do though and neither was ever racist. south park has a really good episode about it.
No, it hasn't.
Yes, the defacto source for word etymology. Good grief.
Morons have changed the meaning of the term because they're morons.
I mean, hard r used to refer to R-rated movies that bordered on being too inappropriate for an R-rating. Hard r also originally just meant the phonetic sound of English words ending in a hard r, which is what the N-word is. A word with a hard r. But making the entire term hard r used exclusively as a racist term when it's literally just a phonetic connotation for words in general, is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Gay used to mean happy, and now it refers to homosexuals. People keep changing words that used to not be offensive and then making them offensive for no reason. When I was younger, hard r and re-re were used to call people retarded, or banging your wrist against your chest making offensive noises. Kids are a-holes. But in my nearly 40 years of being on this earth, up until literally yesterday, I have never heard of hard r being used to reference the N-word. Civilization is spiraling downward at an alarming rate. I'm quite over everyone being offended by literally everything. And if they can't find something to be offended about, they'll just create something to be offended about.
Nope.
