Please look at posts from the now defunct "frenworld" subreddit.
A certain crowd has absolutely coopted it as a racist term.
That doesn't mean every usage of it is racist, of course.
- lupusreal 1y agoAn obscure subreddit which most users of the word have never heard of? Get a grip.
- kowabungalow 1y agoYou are staring at a prompt that uses Akashic and fren for specific statistical attacks based on relatively small volumes of material using these terms and saying that anyone who thinks there was a reason to use them is out of touch? The prompt creator was a red state hari Krishna who didn't like spell check and this would work in a rewording we all understand?
- skyyler 1y agoA grip on what, exactly? It's an obscure racist meme. I'm not saying common usage of the phrase is racist. Just that there is a small contingent of people that do use it as a racist shibboleth.
- lupusreal 1y agoFren isn't obscure, you're out of touch and paranoid to boot. The people who use it in some racist sense are the obscure minority.
- skyyler 1y ago>The people who use it in some racist sense are the obscure minority. That's exactly what I'm saying. There are people that use it as a racist shibboleth, but they are very much an obscure minority.
