The Radio Berkman listed above is my interview with Lisa Nakamura about why some people in online games feel free to use the vilest racist, sexist, and homophobic language while denying that they are racist, sexist, or homophobic. In fact, if you chastise them for it, they will maintain that the fact that you’re complaining shows that you’re the bigot. (Note that the interview explicitly discusses highly objectionable language.)
