Holy shit, are people really trying to frame Clanker as a "racial slur"?

This meme is dead. I hate AI as much as the next girlypop but this shit isn't it because racists have been using it as a shield.

How is calling an AI a clanker racist? AI aren't people, they aren't a race.

That meme has been around way longer than the clanker one.

This usage here isn't part of the problem, but people on other platforms are making nastier memes that are in very poor taste. It's sort of spoiling the fun. And I think, possibly, because people here may not have seen more of the other stuff they might not feel as strongly.
