@GwenTheKween @StephenTallentyre @0xabad1dea some people follow that path and improve, others not so much.

I don't know how many of the people I've heard of who were "only saying slurs because they were drunk" are people who were genuinely trying to improve and slipped up, and how many were masking most of the time and couldn't maintain the mask when they were drunk/high/otherwise altered.

I used to know someone who was insufferable when drunk because they knew ppl would say, that’s just the drink, and they took full advantage of that permission to be insufferable without consequences. @RandomDamage @GwenTheKween @0xabad1dea @StephenTallentyre

My father informed me that what the Navy says is ...

"Everything you do while drunk are things you wanted to do while sober. You will be held responsible for them."

.

Don't "give people a free pass" for "the alcohol made me do it. No, that's the real you -- when you're not hiding it.

@RandomDamage @StephenTallentyre @0xabad1dea yes, I'm not saying all people would be better, I just think that if someone is holding in prejudice to be in a welcoming place, they are likely gonna change just through exposure. I'll caveat by saying this is in the specific case where the person is in the environment by their own choice (like a livestream chat, as opposed to work)

About "only saying slurs because I was drunk", it depends on whether that's where the sentence ends or not (for me anyway). if they continue with something like "sorry, I'm trying to get over old habits but I apparently haven't progressed enough" (or something to that end) I'll be more likely to think they are saying the truth. If they end at "I was drunk" then it doesn't feel like they truly understand why that's bad and are just using drunkness as an excuse.
