It's also used as a recruiting platform by white supremacists.
Leads me to a question, like someone from Russia where we have our problem of casual racism, but not quite the clean nature of the US one, we have racism very diverse and dependent on the context (some think A are better than B, some that they are equal, but A and B sleeping together warrant a murder, some that A are better than B, but them sleeping together is fine, some that A and B are equal, but should be eternally hostile and don't owe each other noble conduct, or maybe both inequality and segregation, but noble conduct is owed always ... we have multitude of kinds, and for multitude of separations, and in general it's not a clear and firm problem).
And by you using such a designation it seems you are from the US.
How do your non-supremacists (average people) react to a statement that they are exactly as good as black people? How do your supremacists react to such?
(Say, here the first kind would generally not understand why would you say that, or laugh and joke something about how in the ideal world you would be right ; and the second kind would generally respond with sarcasm.)
Jesus. How is this thing still a thing? (I guess that's also part of the answer to my prior question...)
A complete lack of all moderation, an owner / management team who studiously ignores all the child abuse on their platform because it is profitable to them to ignore it, and a legislative and judicial system that is unwilling to prosecute businesses for anything in general and child abuse in particular.
It's a perfect microcosm of the American condition, really.
It is also the most popular game ever created, unfortunately. Just one of the user created games on it tops the list for daily active players of any game ever..
