I disagree on two points, the first one is that if we are making a :whitey-cool: emoji, it should definitely be one of these two with the flame on it.
Secondly, are tier lists really that white? I think that some of the (S/S+) ranking stuff started in Japan, especially with its history in gaming culture. Even now, IME, the people I see making versions of it are a pretty representative slice of the local Zoomer population, although it might be different where you live.
Fair enough, I just wanted something flag like, as for the second point I usually see gamer stuff as white as it gets. since POCs are always pushed out of gamer spaces.
That image is way better yeah, nice work. Personally, I agree with your gamer-cool, it fills a useful niche we don’t have already, and there isn’t an established Gamer^tm flag that would be a better fit.
The two Gamer communities I associate with tier lists are fighting games and MOBAs, both of which are less white (I’m pretty sure) than the average gaming community. I haven’t really paid much attention to what the kids are doing with tier lists in the past few years, so I don’t know if they have had some resurgence with white zoomers outside the gaming community while I’ve been gone.
I don’t want to concern troll all over your post, but I think there are better/more specific cultural insults that would do a better job at insulting white people. Although, it is kinda esoteric in the same way as PPB, where the context isn’t immediately obvious and it confuses the recipient.
It’s okay I don’t see it as concern trolling, you’ve put way more thought into this than I ever did
Funnily enough I was thinking of MOBAs (DOTA and Smite) and fighting games (arena fighters) where you get slurred up or get sent friend requests to get slurred up lmao.
There’s more than definitely a better insult to represent white people like NPR or threatening to move to another country or something like that
yeah the american FGC is very black and queer relatively. one of the biggest personalities and best performers over the last decade is a furry nb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SonicFox
there’s bigots around because we don’t gatekeep enough, but most places they get smacked down pretty quick

This is a fun emote though
