This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Interestingly, no coverage of a hot-button recent CW issue.
TL;DR: a low-class looking married mom of 2 had an altercation on a playground in Rochester, MN. Her story is that a kid stole from her bag and she alled the kid the gamer word.
Then, a Somali man who was also present on the playground and who then was due for court over a '22 rape this week confronted her, phone in hand and recorded the confrontation. {obviously, multiple instances of gamer word in the video, from both parties}
She called him the gamer word too and flipped him the bird. Cue online outrage, she is collecting donation to relocate.
After this blew up, the rape charges against the guy who made the video were dissmissed. (see bottom of post, links). It's fairly close to a textbook perfect 'scissor' event, seems to me.
The video was amplified by some sleazy music video director and the mom claims they are getting death threats. People who went through his old tweets found..interesting stuff, he is some sort of perv. Needless to say this isn't his first rodeo - he's been chasing view by covering race and other hot-button nonsense online.
A recent development I just found about while writing is, the man who made the video had the rape charges against him dismissed 'in the interest of justice'.(local news link). It wasn't just some silly statutory rape - he and his brother offered shelter to a runaway from the foster system and supposedly raped her multiple times. The two defendants of course maintained it was all made up.
All in all, it's an interesting development. I don't understand how someone can just dismiss rape charges (more detail including a link) like this. I haven't read the court documents though.
^^this seems like really, truly bad optics. Is there an innocuous explanation - e.g. the case was really flimsy etc? But if it was flimsy why was the court system keeping it going for almost three years only to dismiss it now. The news article makes it seem the trial was set to begin on May 5.
Is that needed here of all places? We're not on reddit anymore. The considerable efforts of the admins are wasted if nobody uses the fruits of their labour, one of which is use of language that would rack up bad-boy points on other websites regardless of context.
Far be it for me to police the language of a post about language-policing but really, if we're talking about the word 'nigger' then this should be made clear.
As a more substantive point, the donations for both Karmelo Anthony and Shiloh's have both been censored now, though this hasn't stopped people doing the funny 'make username of N' trick to spell out nigger that 4chan loves so much. Some of the comments: https://x.com/tsarlet2/status/1918360755977748550
Clearly givesendgo wanted to suppress that kind of thing while retaining a certain perception of even handedness. There was plenty of time to censor the 'fuck white people' genre of donation comments earlier.
Many websites auto-censor or downrank posts that have bad words, so it's a good habit to get into to always use ***.
It's literally Orwellian. I keep seeing these screenshots with even less naughty words like 'retard' but they've MS Painted so the word isn't clear enough for bottom-quality OCR. The world is turning into Roblox where you have to tell people to 'game-end' themselves since kill is too edgy. What use is free speech if they just take the words instead?

Personally, I find it hilarious. Something about the lengths people go to, to get past the filters, and the absurdity of the metaphors, just make me chuckle. Like, I remember some guy on /r/stupidpol, who ended up dating a zoomer, tearing his hair out because she wouldn't stop using code even IRL. They were talking about rape, and she would not stop saying "grape" instead.
If it's Orwellian, there's an optimistic twist to it, as it only shows the folly of the newspeak project.

The George Floyd one is pretty good. There's something inherently hilarious about the juxtaposition of chuddery and heart icons.
But darn, I didn't even realize GiveSendGo usually allows comments to go with donations. It was already only usernames by the time I got to take a peek at Shiloh's donation history, largely motivated by the amount of pearl-clutching and Streisand Effect'ing over it.
I remember seeing a username based around "Nate Higgers," one about whites in South Africa, one with "White Pride" in it, and one or two about Jews, but for the most part the donations were just innocuous or anonymous. No TNDs, "DESPITE..."s, 13/52s, or attempts at N-trains, but I also didn't scroll for very long (it got kind of boring quickly).
The most eyeraising spoonerism I've seen is "BigDiggerNick", this was as a username on MagicArena which is ultra anal as a platform about what letter combinations it allows in usernames which includes banning certain 3 letter substrings enitrely from anywhere in the username.
Dude was playing a next level toxic deck too...

Wtf is the "gamer word"? What is "gamer" about the n-word, if that is what is referred to?
KnowYourMeme article:
Mildly interesting how, originally, the phrase referring to PewDiePie's utterance of "nigger" was "heated gaming moment" and only later was "gamer word" derived from it, but the latter is now far more entrenched in internet memelore and consciousness. It reminds me of "Beam Me Up, Scotty!"

Seeing as I'm one mod report away from being permabanned because of forgetting to speak nicely about followers of Nick Fuentes late at night two weeks back or so, I didn't want to risk any reports related to the 'word of power'.
More like you can't read the room or you're playing games. "Word of power"... You won't get a warning for saying "nigger" in the context of a story. No one's getting banned for quoting Mark Twain. You just can't call someone a nigger.

The mods aren't upset about language so much as meaning. I too have a low opinion of Fuentes, he's like a lower-class Richard Spencer but normal people have a blessed ignorance of this eceleb lore that should be cherished and preserved where possible. They can't be expected to know about these guys.
You can easily get modded for the gamer word here.
For using or for mentioning?
I can't find the post. Making me think it might be on the old site. It was a play on the Norm MacDonald joke 'I love niggers'.
Yeah old site had to deal with reddit-wide Anti-Evil Operations (actual name they chose to use), this site does not. The use/mention distinction is functional here.

Not in a way fundamentally indistinguishable from any other word/combination of words when replaced, though.
I’ve never had a mod address me for “nigger” despite having used that multiple times here, and the ability to use it is very useful to me when discussing “it’s OK because they’re less than human, with all the same justifications we used here that may or may not be grounded in fact or science” discriminatory events: I need to evoke the state of mind used [by everyone else] to justify saying that to the demographic it describes in the first place, and nothing else does that better.
Thus the fact I get to use it is good and proper.

The charges were dismissed 2 months ago, March 14th 2025. The reason listed is "Dismissal by Prosecuting Attorney". Per a quick internet search, "Dismissed in the interest of Justice" is a catch-all term whenever they dismiss a charge for whatever reason. The news article was only updated yesterday though, presumably related to the attention it was getting.
Found by inputting the case number from your link 55-CR-22-817 here:
https://publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us/CaseSearch
I can't easily checked as like many US sites it blocks foreign IPs.
Huh, worked through TOR on the first try. How did I miss the date on the pdf.
None of these documents for the case is likely to have a summary of the evidence gathered by the police right?

Has there ever been a more apt occasion for this clip?
From my point of view, no, not really.
I come from a place where our own racial underclass is not treated in a sacred manner and there's no equivalent of the gamer word. You might become a bit of a social pariah at a humanities faculty of a big university if you were filmed doing something like this, perhaps, but moms around the country would understand and forgive.
I don't think the taboo around the word is in any way reasonable and that such taboos should not be enforced or tolerated. I much prefer the situation here where before there's actual violence the parties in a dispute tend to use all the strongest expletives at the loudest possible volume. Keeping it 'fake' helps cut down on wasted police time and all that.

Rape charges get dismissed a lot, to the point where it's implausible that they're all being dismissed in the interest of advancing left wing ideas. Pretty good chance this was for the usual reasons rape charges where underclass teenagers are the victims get dismissed as opposed to some sort of more culture-war heavy reason.
It also seems like it should be noted that the mom seems to be a grifter herself.
Why? There isn't much known about her. Do you know of anything suggesting she staged this ?
I'll grant you that there's a lot of spurious crap out there, but why dismiss charges
That seems pretty odd but then I'm not a criminal lawyer. Maybe a pattern of dragging unpromising cases before dismissing them just before they're due to happen makes a lot of sense in the context.
IIRC it's pretty common to drag spurious cases on and on in the hopes the defendant takes a plea bargain and then blink at the last minute. The spicy incident is probably just coincidence.
I am entirely willing to believe that a somali who gave a 16 year old runaway from foster care a ride back to his place from a gas station was not honestly concerned with getting her out of the rain. That is not, however, the legal standard(if I had to guess what actually happened she agreed to go back to his place and have sex with him in exchange for -whatever- and then decided the deal wasn't to her liking, but the DA mischarged it because she told a different story to make herself look better- and it's now revealed the charges are wrong and he was going to win at trial if he just calls the prosecutor's bluff, so they're dropping the charges at the last minute because he did that. That's just speculation but it's the sort of story which is fairly common).
And the mom seems like a grifter because she keeps raising the goal in her fundraising goal.

My guess would be the dismissal is because the victim either recanted or refuses to testify. But it might also be because "in the interests of justice" allows left-wing activists free rein, as in this case:
https://climatedefenseproject.org/media-alert-judge-dismisses-charges-against-aubid-goodwin-and-laduke-in-the-interests-of-justice/
It looks like the dismissal (of this case) was in march '25.
The guy who took the video looks to be Sharmake Beyle Omer, whose criminal history is not very rich. Some 5th degree assault charges from '21 that were mostly dismissed and he was convicted of disorderdly conduct, and some light traffic related stuff.
There's a comedy skit in there about how much of a weenie you have to be to get all the way down to Fifth degree assault... "What did you do, slap someone with a rubber chicken?"
But that makes it more likely it was because the victim won't co-operate and less likely left-wing chicanery.
Credible threats are 5th degree assault. He may have engaged in hard talk that's technically hypothetically assault.

A part of this that hadn't occurred to me until I saw it pointed out is that there seems to be a sort of donation duel between this lady's case and that of Karmelo Anthony, who's a black teen charged with murdering a white teen during a track meet by stabbing him in the heart during a dispute over seating. I think there was a top-level comment here about this incident before, but there was a substantial amount of support on social media for Anthony on racial grounds, including fundraising for his defense. I get the feeling that a lot of the motivation to donate to this lady is by people who feel that the support Anthony has been getting on racial grounds has been unjust, and supporting her is a way of "balancing the scales," as it were. This isn't the instantiation of "if you tell everyone to focus on everyone's race all the time in every interaction, eventually white people will try to play the same game everyone else is encouraged to" that I foresaw, but it sure is a hilarious one.
Now, one conspiracy theory that I hope is hilariously true, is that the guy who recorded this lady was in cahoots with the lady herself and staged the whole thing in order to cash in on the simmering outrage over the Anthony case. But I doubt that anyone involved has the foresight to play that level of 4D chess.
It is kinda funny seeing all the equivocation of the Gamer Word with literal murder coming out of this.
first_time.jpg? A black-on-white homicide is a statistic to be forgotten ASAP; a white person calling a black person a "nigger" is a tragedy and a scandal.
Even Austin Metcalf's own father has taken the route of "that's what upsets me most about a black youth stabbing my son to death, people saying mean things about blacks." He has publicly forgiven Karmelo, but has denounced so-called white supremacists for doing some Noticing. He'd likely sooner donate to Karmelo than Shiloh.

I don’t see many people claiming they’re equivalent, just that this has clearly turned into a game for online racial activists where they’ve each taken a ‘side’.
The black activists don’t actually care about the kid (countless young black men are arrested every year for violent assault of white people, and almost none of them draw any widespread attention in the black community), just like the white activists don’t actually care about this woman (single mother, tattoos, possibly an addict according to some online gossip, exactly the kind of white woman these guys typically clown on). It’s just a competition now.
There’s a lot of people, including people who made their schtick about Violence Always Being Wrong, that have at least had to pointedly say that murder and slurs aren’t equivalent in the abstract, categorizing both as race war, while having nothing to say about this case specifically
That’s because most people outside of the progressive left are in strong agreement that African-Americans have a strong ethnic identity and that widespread low to medium intensity ethnic resentment toward whites is common in that demographic group. Nothing about this case is really interesting, it’s been 30 years since this happened on a much greater scale with the OJ Simpson case.
It is reasonable to say that the motivations of donors in both cases is likely ethnic hostility and that that is what is being discussed, not the actual acts the recipients of the funds (a largely secondary matter) did.
Then why not donate to Dylan Roof, as the xitter compares? Ethnic hostility can still be about particular circumstances, such as the norms around the nuclear word.

The point has been rightly made that if a black man had instead raped and murdered Shiloh at the park the general public would likely never have heard her name.

Curious: what would be the legalities involved in running a scam like your conspiracy theory? The demand for this kind of stuff seems to far outstrip the supply of it. Could I go hire two people off of Craigslist, engineer a scripted social media outrage that results in one or both being able to successfully fundraise for ???, and then split the proceeds with them? Assuming I'm not paying them to do anything actually illegal.
The hardest part would seem to be me getting my cut (no real reason for them to pay me anything once they realize I'm not assuming any real risk or doing anything). Or maybe use an AI generated video with no other real people involved?
That’s already a thing on YouTube to try and get views. Various politically charged incidents supposedly occurring in various classrooms across America, then someone on 4chan happened to notice that they all seemed to be occurring in the exact same classroom, and only the participants changed.
Where did you see this? Is there documentation on this? I could believe it.

To be fair about the Anthony case, at least the initial wave of support wasn't for his defense per se. Anthony was initially given a 1 million bond, which was reduced to $250,000 after a hearing, and his family was able to post the bond. Some fringe right-wing websites decided this was unacceptable and protestors started showing up outside the family's home and sending death threats. The fundraiser was initially to pay for alternative lodging for the kid, since being forced into hiding isn't easy for people of modest means.
Facts are: he was trespassing, he had a knife in a place where he shouldn't have had one and then when confronted stabbed a guy who objected to him being there.
To me it seems outrageous a bond is even allowed. He is being charged as an adult. Letting murderers walk free for months until there's a court case? That's not how thing are supposed to go.
Technically speaking, innocent until proven guilty still holds in this country. Or would you have had Kyle Rittenhouse held until trial also?

Texas law required bail to be offered; changing this is a priority for Gov. Abbott during the current legislative session, but it's not like this kid is a flight risk.
Make bond a trillion dollars then. By the way, judge who reduced the bail is black too.
You forgot the best part, she's Republican.
Many a boomer patted themselves on the back for "not seeing color" after putting her in that position of power, I am sure.

The US has regulations against excessive bail you know. It's literally called the 8th Amendment and part of the bill of rights.
How is it excessive - can you unmurder the kid for cheaper than that?
The purpose of the bail is for it to be realistic to raise. If the purpose of the bail was to not be realistic then there wouldn't be such a thing as bail.

I dunno, I could imagine one of his legion of donors offering him a chance to defect, under cover of night, to a sympathetic foreign country (Russia? Venezuela? South Africa?) where he will spend the rest of his days eating from that government’s trough and parroting the lines they spoon-feed him about “white man bad” to throngs of starstruck admirers on TikTok
Trump government is pissed enough with South Africa thanks to millenials who have had it with the rainbow nation being in positions of power. South Africa wouldn't risk it. Russia isn't stupid or nasty enough to do this - they protect killers who acted in the interests of the state, not useless young thugs..
I don't think Venezuela is that big on black power either.
