“I refuse to change my offensive language despite people telling me it is offensive. I think I am cool because I am using abusive language to make people feel uncomfortable. I am proud of being exclusionary and my self worth is tied to being offensive to others.”
Is anyone really complaining
Yes. The op is bothered by the use of casual racism. Many people in this thread are saying that racism bothers them. Does racism not bother you?
Being open to other points of view is only good right?
No some points of view are not worth considering. Bigotry and racism, just like the viewpoint that its good to eat your own excrement, are view points of no value.
White knighting and telling others they are doing it wrong suppresses what should be a chill creative club.
Wanting to not be exposed to racism and racist slurs is not white knighting. Just because this specific racial slur doesn’t target me doesn’t mean I am unaffected by it. It is called empathy. Even if I was a sociopath I would be against all racism because I don’t like to experience racism happening to me. I would be against the racist term “Ricer” because I don’t want to normalize any racially slur because I may be the next target.
Racists and offensive language are suppressive and any community supporting those things is not chill.
“nothing is good if I’m not hurting someone.”

Could it be that the hard core Baldur’s Gate fans are OG/serious Gamers and have learned to not pre-order? BG 1 & 2 were released way before gaming was mainstream. Most of the casual gamers probably only care about BG3 due to hype from other gamers who would also be “Never Pre-order” folk.
I did. When The site administration sided with racists nazis I was glad to leave. I got perma-banned for saying “Ork is a dehumanizing racial slur. Calling Russians ‘Ork’ is racist hate speech.” Occasionally I open a recent link and I nearly always regret it.
