I think we're all aware of the meaning of Aryan but I took it as a joke; no white supremacist overtones!

Anyway it is very quick work from Luke after the protracted siege on Rainshadow!
 
My bad… definitely didn’t mean to invoke any white supremacy overtones, was just a little joke on Luke’s blond hair blue eyes, to spice up a fairly to the point post. Didn’t really think it through.

Mods feel free to delete.

Sorry for any offence/ wriggly feeling caused, very much not my intention! And don’t want to take away from a friend’s achievement with silly (and not even funny) jokes.
 
Hope I didn't come across as wanting to point the finger at anyone, definitely wasn't the intention! It's just tricky how little things like this can slip under the cultural radar but come from a very dark place.

A fun example from a personal perspective: I spent years over here joking about how I was a 'Brexit Refugee'. It wasn't until the Ukranians started arriving that I realised that maybe it wasn't funny, or at least not as funny anymore.

Anyway, apologies for the segway.

I think you mean a segue, otherwise I'm lost :lol:

Is it becoming similarly wriggly now to describe what I just wrote as grammar-Naziism? :unsure:

I've been on a segway and they are pretty cool, some black magic shit going on with gyroscopes and stuff. So I'd say it's fine to point out the difference.

Pahaha it'd be nice to blame autocorrect but I genuinely don't think I've ever seen it written before and assumed it was the same as the machine.

I personally always found grammar-nazi quite funny (disgust and contempt at others grammar inadequacy seems to fit the fascist image quite well) but the one time I said it in the office here people got quite weird about it.
