The example of minstrel shows was given upthread.

They perpetuated harmful racist stereotypes, which contributed to harm.

You want to bring those back or what?

I think Slashdot has pretty successfully picked apart this study, though I see no need to depend on anything to discredit this study but the weird avatar choices. They make the entire study invalid because of the confounding factors of the avatars' appearances.

Yeah, that question is not just bad, it's going to cause you legal problems if any applicant who was turned down finds out. Interview questions and processes are supposed to be designed to eliminate bias, but that question is literally designed to allow bias to influence the hiring decision, and will be a major exhibit in a discrimination case. Your employer's HR department is run by a spectacular fuckup.

Yeah, there's a reason for that.

No they fucking are not.

Yes, they approve of people who protect child rapists. See? Not irrelevant.

I'm not complaining about the company doing advertising, I'm complaining about Slashdot presenting it without irony.

And then what, she withholds hex?

Daemon Spawn at that.

Firefox doesn't preview webp images in the file dialog on Linux either. So fucking annoying. What year is it?

I prefer the majority of canned or virtual male voices I hear on the phone to the majority of female ones today. I think this is because they care about what women think about them these days and don't care what men think, because we are less likely to complain to them about the voices. They used to choose soft female voices, now they are choosing harder ones. I am not looking for confrontation from phone operators, so this doesn't seem positive to me. I'm seeking service, not an argument.

What's next...Trans-Bots and DEI for underserved Bot minorities?!!? H1-Bot....?

It's complicated. Where does society end and the workplace begin?

You can't find Wikipedia? Learn to Internet, noob

And by extension, so do the owners of this site for providing a safe haven for these cowards

we need to regulate speech then, exactly the same way we want to regulate firearms.

Only those authorized by the state ought to have speech. Safety First!

(this is largely sarcastic in nature)

We have had human made "slop" for a long time now. Too many games and most are barely anything new for years already. Even AAA 1st person shooters which are like 1 new gun, an option for slightly different game mode, and a new different sequence of old movie plots... using an army of artists to add new graphics to the existing content library.

There are people who haven't even experienced Nintendo because they are worn out on junk rip offs with zero creativity. Which is good for industry because lacking taste means you will consume their shit unaware of what quality is. Like Disney did to Pixar etc.
