Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
They really are going to use "Genocide" for any type of violent conflict.
sorry sweaty if you're not white then fighting against ethnic cleansing is genocide now
They're going to use 'genocide' for all bad things. Someone told them about the distinction 'acts' of genocide when Trump was the bad man doing border things now children being taken from a war zone is genocide. Their read on cultural genocide is even worse.
I remember endless discourse on the Warcraft lore forums on Battle.net (Blizzard forums) about whether so and so faction did genocide in the lore, and long, long discussions about what constituted genocide. Typically users would just be blaming the other side of genocide, while claiming anything their side did was not genocide.
Their?...side?
World of Warcraft has two playable factions, the Horde and the Alliance. Humans head up the Alliance and Orcs head up the Horde. Many people play only one faction and identify heavily with it.
