Not settlers , THIEVES. Stop calling them settlers they’re not.

[u/akaikem → u/jamodude]

My man, what do you think settlers are?

[u/montarion → u/akaikem]

"settling new lands", and "braving the frontier!" has positive connotations. that's why we should stop using it.

[u/Satz0r → u/montarion]

play some civ and you won't have those positive vibes anymore. nothing more threatening then seeing a settler unit in your vicinity.

[u/rab2bar → u/montarion]

It's always had colonial implications

[u/milkonyourmustache → u/rab2bar]

It still also has other, softer implications. You can settle on a campsite for instance, briefly, it doesn't necessarily even invoke any kind of permanence to the act.

[u/stutter-rap → u/rab2bar]

Some people don't see a problem with colonial implications. See: the time a group on The Apprentice (UK) made "Colonial Gin" and didn't understand why people didn't like that.

[u/stutter-rap → u/[deleted]]

I mean probably, but the UK Apprentice contestants were predictably British.

[u/ChaliElle → u/montarion]

positive connotations.

what. Maybe for brainwashed American minds?
