"Kooklox simpletonia"

"Look, we all know brown things and pink things were never meant to mingle, just like round things and pointy things, or things that like mints and things that wear sweater vests! It's nothing personal, you know, they're just completely different species, biologically incapable of coexisting peacefully. It's the natural way of things, and your superior breed didn't get where it is today by diluting its genes! Hate? That's an awfully strong word. If anything, you're only guilty of too much love! You love your family, you love your heritage, you love when other families keep their heritages to themselves the way nature intended, you love the way their revoltingly obvious differences make them easier to avoid, you love when you don't have to touch things they've touched and you especially love when they don't procreate! Nobody can tell you your LOVE is a bad thing..that's called DISCRIMINATION, and that makes them TRUER bigots!"

-----------------

Above arguments not significantly exaggerated from real pro-racism internet rants. There are actual people who actually say these things, actually believing that racism is an honorable, natural way to keep our species thriving. There are people who actually think that if you condemn their racism, you are discriminating against their innate nature and a valid, respectable world view.

LOL.

Anyway, FUTURE GERMS NEED SOME LABELING HELP!

So far we have Misogyny, Nice Guys, and Racism, but what's a single word or very short phrase to sum up, say...

-Those who are easily offended or perceive things others would be offended by, admonishing others for convoluted ways in which they've been insensitive? "Hyper sensitivity" is a little too long, but so far the best description I can think of. I might have to go with that, but maybe there's something else. "Offendability" isn't a real word, technically, but it would be etymologically sound if it were.

-People who excessively bully and troll others they perceive as bad people, for trivial reasons? It overlaps heavily with the above "Hyper sensitivity," but it's a more aggressive version. "Misaimed rage" is the best description I can think of so far, but pretty long again.

-Finally, people who hold their opinions, or the concept of opinions, extremely sacred and expect everyone else to do so in a debate. The whole "it's just my opinion, how dare you call it wrong" mindset. Maybe I won't even use this one, since it's annoying, but could be considered a part of the others.

All of these things do a good job of getting into the heads of the people who inspired them, but I especially like this one. It REALLY dives in there and summarizes almost perfectly the attitude that drives people to racism. They don't think they're doing anything wrong. They don't think they're the same kind of person that television and literature speak out against. They think they're just being reasonable human beings, and can't even wrap their heads around how twisted their perceptions are.

It's not condoning the practice, but it's really getting into the meat of what causes it. And that's what makes it all the stronger.

The two-faced imagery is a good microcosm of that. The two faces think they're just doing their own thing, and are completely oblivious to how hateful they really are.

Neither face knows the other is a different "race," either :)

Biologically, what we think of as "race" is as minor in our genetics as hair and eye color. It's difficult to even determine race by a genetic sample, and impossible from skeletal structure too. We're all the same guts, bones and meat.

Quite literally too, given how thoroughly most people's genes are mixed in with countless ethnicities. If a person can be one fourth African, one fourth Indian, three eighths Asian and one eighth Caucasian and still produce healthy, fertile offspring, it's time to re-evaluate our barriers.

Humans and orcs are different races. Humans and other humans, not so much.

What about the three anthropological super-races (Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid)? Aren't those identified by their skeletal structure?

While I do believe it is proper not to be any form of bigot, I hold the belief that each race has it's own advantages and disadvantages
(Though races are so mixed together now that it pratically doesn't matter anymore)

I've always had the belief that assimilation always crushed extirmination.
Besides the singularity is what will lead to true equality of physical and mental ability.

My favorite are the ones who say something blatantly racist, then call YOU a racist for calling them out on it.

:lol: Oh my.

I love the crazed, bugged out eyes and the bristling fangs, the faces look great. It looks like it's driven itself into hopeless gibbering madness with it's own sheer unthinking hatred--and assuming the two halves are aware of each other--self-loathing.

I guess those infected by this germ have a tendency to pose in front of their Nazi flags and brandish their guns so everyone can see how SCARY AND HARDCORE!!1! they are.

How about the following.

-Weaboos
-Attention-seekers
-Pedophiles
-Random Spammers

Also, I like your series a lot. Keep up the good work!

Too specific really; these are based on horrible problems people demonstrate with their general treatment and interaction with others. Inability to get along or think rationally about other people's feelings. Weeaboos aren't really hurting society much, and pedophiles will fall somewhere under some of the other germ's attitudes.
