Truly honest question as I'm ignorant here. Please help me understand how "dark patterns" is racist? And remember, I've been asked why my horns don't show for nearly 60 years, so I'm really wanting to understand, not cause upset or argument. At all. xo

2023 is a great time to start using “anti-patterns” for IX that is used without intent and “deceptive patterns” for those patterns that are made with intent. Let’s throw out the monolithic term “dark patterns” and get in tune with inclusive terms that do not have racist (1/2)

Anti-pattern is less offensive than anti-semitic then? (Semite refers to languages, not melanin conentrations in the skin).

sorry, how do you jump to semitic? dark has an clear issue where dark is bad, therefore dark people are too (which is obv untrue) anti-pattern (at least from a SW pov) means a pattern that's antithetical to a good practice (anti being "opposed/against")

When you can explain why anti-semitic and antisemitic are also under scrutiny, we'll talk.

You have me completely lost, how does "Y is being scrutinised" come to mean "X is unsolvable"?

Ignorance. yes, I have no idea why you're upset and trying to drag other things into some wild dispute, and the solution is for us to not be able to view one another's posts. Bye.
