There has been enough social progress that we know that being a racist or a misogynist is a very bad thing, though not enough to draw any conclusion beyond it being a bad thing to accuse anyone of these things unless they already have a self-tattooed swastika on their forehead and are serving multiple consecutive life sentences for being a weapons-grade piece of shit. Anything less than that and it’s never racism, just racially charged economic anxiety or whatever. And along the same lines, the white college boys with bright futures who send rape threats are never misogynists, just deeply concerned about integrity in game journalism or whatever.
