This is offensive for people that were imprisoned in gulag.

Tbh, i don't really give a shit about the terminology change. I'm just here to say:
WHY THE FUCK WAS A GAME I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO CANCELLED BECAUSE WE CAN'T USE THE WORD "LYNCH" (Oh the horror )

I believe someone else said they're picking it up but I'm not invested so idk.
I really don’t think that the naysayers are racist fwiw but that they truly don’t get it. I think for anyone who doesn’t, this video should help:

I think people are really jumping the gun with the accusing people of being racist here. Like... Nero Cain isn't being racist by saying that the word Lynch isn't racist in and of itself, while still acknowledging the connotations its picked up over the past couple centuries, and actively agreeing with the change, like.... There are several very clearly ACTUAL racists posting god awful takes in here. Maybe direct your vitriol there instead?

But there are a lot of idiots that will make the exact same argument about the n-word:
"The dictionary definition is an ignorant person! Therefore anyone can be one!" Yes but no one called white people that while they beat them in fields.
It's the connotation over the past couple centuries that requires sensitivity today.
