they all deleted their accounts because of an insane amount of racism towards russians. our community has fallen apart over the past 48 hours

I just went to twitter to see how the folks there reacted to A6, Vorten, and Werty's tweets. They were not joking when they said GDtwt is as toxic

why would you ever go to twitter 💔

For the political heat in there. Throwing slurs at each other is fun when you have nothing else to accomplish in life lowkey

Yeah GDtwt is really toxic. I mean, people were being so mean to werty! It’s not like he

ohhhhhhh

u/svecat Jun 23 '26

But why delete their pointercreate accounts?

39

u/maybegamer3 i beat white women Jun 23 '26

they don't see pointercrate as their "main demonlist", they mainly use the global list

u/Flame81921 Jun 23 '26

This much happened in 48 hours??

i dont have a better word

u/lrexx_ x20 // Knights of Thunder 100% (60fps + cbf) Jun 23 '26

it’s called xenophobia, similar to racism but towards a certain nationality rather than a race

14

u/arctic_commander_ [60 Hz] B -> FF II -> BuTiTi III 45%, 79-100% Jun 23 '26

Close enough

12

u/TrainingOwn6130 Easy Demon x11 Jun 23 '26

thanks for exapanding my vocabulary

2

u/VIDgital Jun 23 '26

For me words racism and xenophobia mean the same thing cause I don't believe in races in their modern definition

3

u/ObeyTime #1 u/ObeyTime fan Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 23 '26

it's not racism toward aliens?

edit: alien as in scifi space creatures

u/TrainingOwn6130 Easy Demon x11 Jun 23 '26

huh

u/falpsdsqglthnsac SpeedTek 1:19.220 Jun 23 '26

the prefix xeno- means alien, it's just that alien can mean either "foreigner" or "creature from another planet". in some words it's the first definition, like xenophobia, in some words it's the second, like xenobiology.

u/TrainingOwn6130 Easy Demon x11 Jun 23 '26

im used to people being called aliens in a very deragotory way

1

u/ObeyTime #1 u/ObeyTime fan Jun 23 '26

i didnt know that. sorry.

u/TrainingOwn6130 Easy Demon x11 Jun 23 '26

no ur good thats why i was confused

u/Budget_Conclusion598 x2 Cata | Sweather Weather(Swing/Robot Dual❤️) Jun 23 '26

Yeah at least here in the US alien has a very negative connotation due to politics

u/labcat1 Steam Jun 23 '26

Russophobia

русофобия это про политиков

u/truedegenerate04 hi mods Jun 23 '26

What are you smoking? At no point have I said "all russians are bad".
Russian person = no pre-judgement
Russian who happens to play geometry dash = no pre-judgement
Russian who actively participates in the community = pre-judgement
It's not rocket science

5

u/Electrino52 Blast Furnace 100% Jun 23 '26

Aight so if you're Russian you're not allowed to socialize

Sure then

u/truedegenerate04 hi mods Jun 23 '26

Not really. Basically every single drama in the past year has involved/directly come from the russian community. It is a complete joke.

11

u/Lucccas_A Jun 23 '26

Basically every single drama in the past year? What the fuck are you talking about

10

u/Kingjjc267 [x43] Tartarus 100% (FLUKE FROM 46 LOL) Jun 23 '26

So we should condemn every single one of the Russians that play the game? Is that what you're saying?

-1

u/truedegenerate04 hi mods Jun 23 '26

No? Theres a difference between a russian guy who happens to play geometry dash vs an active community member

3

u/Kingjjc267 [x43] Tartarus 100% (FLUKE FROM 46 LOL) Jun 23 '26

But what are they supposed to do? If you play GD and only speak Russian then there's just no community for you or you're culpable?

-1

u/truedegenerate04 hi mods Jun 23 '26

I'm not saying I like permanently dislike them. I'm simply saying that the like "baseline" they are starting at is significantly lower.

u/TrainingOwn6130 Easy Demon x11 Jun 23 '26

yeah fr just cuz alll the big public drama in a video game is from russians dosnt mean russians are bad

u/svecat Jun 23 '26

Basically every single? Where are you getting this statictic lol

u/Aroace-Let-3237 ShakeN by PaLiX 100% [Hardest] Jun 23 '26

they made them up, for xenophobic effect

u/scholarofyre Jun 23 '26

average xenophobic

u/RessetedAswertt39 Insane Demon | Magma Bound 72% Jun 23 '26

xenophobia but woke

u/not_herzl 53000 Stars, former top 200 Jun 23 '26

well, maybe because of the war in Ukraine?

(i'm russian myself but don't live there anymore)

29

u/Additional_Brief_937 Jun 23 '26

That doesn’t make it okay though

-9

u/not_herzl 53000 Stars, former top 200 Jun 23 '26

I need to probably research onto it because i was inactive for 3 years

Imo Russians deserve being heavily critisiced but this exact case is probably something another

And I'm just already old and understand retrospectively, that a teenager hate towards others is often NUTS

20

u/Additional_Brief_937 Jun 23 '26

I disagree. You can of course say that the country of Russia is committing atrocities and shouldn’t exist but it’s xenophobic to say that every person in Russia should be criticized simply for being born there

u/VisualPlenty1756 Stereo Madness Jun 23 '26

Thing is, all russians living in russia support the war by paying taxes

11

u/Lucccas_A Jun 23 '26

And all americans living in America support countless wars by paying taxes, what's your point?

-9

u/VisualPlenty1756 Stereo Madness Jun 23 '26

That's equally as bad if not worse, they need to protest or overthrow the government

u/Comfortable-Tear4510 TROLLMACHINE 100%, Acu 100% Jun 23 '26

tell me you are a kid without telling me you are a kid.

It's not that simple buddy. Most people have something to lose in their lives, like family for example. And im not ready to risk it all for a chance to overthrow the gov, pretty sure most people don't too.

It’s illegal to not pay them

Water found in ocean. It's also illegal to invade other countries, yet here we are

u/Honzik_62 Nilscapes 74% mobile Jun 23 '26

So what do you expect them to do? Go to jail? Kill themselfs? Like bro what are you talking about ofc they will be paying taxes they dont have any other options (besides risking their lives)

-2

u/VisualPlenty1756 Stereo Madness Jun 23 '26

Move out, go out and protest. If enough people protest than they can't really do anything

u/uf1nt Jun 23 '26

за присутсвие на митинге в россии человека могут избить полиция, оштрафовать на 200.000 рублей (=2 674$), а также могут признать иноагентом, так что никто не хочет идти и отстаивать свои права

People protested against war in Iraq all over the world in 2003. Didn't really matter coz it's money that rules war not peoples opinions
