I guess a coin for being a nasty cunt is fitting for these times.

It is fitting for all times, as A LOT of historical figures were nasty. The "my feelings are hurt" was not even a consideration for wast majority of human history. Do you think Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar or Isaac Newton or Christopher Columbus were nice people?

>>Stablecoin issuers possess the power to create or delete billions in synthetic dollars instantly

This power is typically exclusive to central banks, which are backed by the Government. It can be used to regulate inflation and create boom and bust cycles. In turn, governments have a great deal of control and influence over central banks. Having unaccountable BigTech bros access this power is beyond concerning. Why, for example, Altman or Thiel should have power to put entire economies into recession?

Youâ(TM)re not black, not Japanese, and not a samurai?

Nobody alive today was a slave in US, by your logic slavery is not offensive.

Yet somehow this game has offended you.

Yes, it is offensive because of race swapping. This is done to establish a false narrative that black people were major contributors and participants in Western, Asian, etc. cultures. They were not. They are now. This is obvious attempt to rewrite history to better align with modern viewpoints, to establish false continuity.
