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)

I've been trying to figure out how to explain this without using offensive language...and before anyone goes there, it's language that is offensive *to me*. I don't want those words in my mouth, even if my father used them. The concern is all based on darkness as negative.

I agree and I would suggest that the meaning of a single English word does not scale to half the world's population online we have an opportunity here to refine that with discourse in hopes of course correcting, reducing or avoiding vilification of humans based on language alone.
