Why do people always use "clanker" as some weird stand in to make faux-inappropriate comments? Like it's always "Well, I'd like to do a racism today but want to make sure I can get away with it on technicality."

This comment would make sense if it was in reference to anything resembling a human. It’s dehumanizing language for something that people claim exhibits creativity and makes art. Fuck clankers. They’re not people. Literally. Data centers are cooking the planet and you’re mincing words about how we refer to what will eventually kill us.

Why do people performatively reply to comments to self-righteously nitpick about the terminology someone used?

Comparing people experiencing racism with computers does not sound like the appropriate opinion you think it is.
