> he definitely is not misogynstic, but he plays that card often

"He's not racist, he just says racist stuff often" "He's not a serial killer, he just murders people often"

"They are not authoritarian, they just censor your language."

But I guess intent doesn't matter, it's all about the optics, right?

It's kinda amazing how ESRB 18+ games can have players commit the cruelest and bloodiest violence, but as soon as somebody says a slur, that's suddenly "crossing a line".

Generally against fictional entities inside a computer.

> but as soon as somebody says a slur

Generally to or about a real person. That's why there's a difference.
