You know that those statements are written as affirmations but they're actually basically guidelines or suggestions.

Nah I've heard it in french streams too but it's probably less common than in english, that's true. | ||

No, more like a caster would say "il s'est fait complètement violer" when a player gets 2-0'd. But it's been a while since I have heard it for the last time. | ||

In Russian it is more used not the direct equivalent of the word "rape", but the equivalent of the word "fuck" (ебать).

I'm not sure if English is your first language or w/e but in that context I'm not literally saying "white people don't ever say nigga". I made the post in specific rebuttal to another post. | ||

Unless you're new to the internet you would know the difference between posting a message on your computer compared to standing in a public square shouting. Give me a fucking break... | ||

Please don't think that writing something on social media is any different than saying it in real life. Twitter isn't even anonymous, so this is far from some random internet message board. You're in for a rude awakening when your future boss, company, or sponsor lets you go because of unfiltered social media statements. | ||
