The misunderstanding of your objection comes from the fact that I’ve just never heard of it in the context of “giving good weather and taking it away” as in “Indian giver”. The fact that they both have the word Indian the only connection I can make to what you’re saying. The only references I can find to a pejorative origin is in articles from years ago saying that the phrase possibly needs to be changed because of possible negative origins. Obviously culture hasn’t decided it’s necessary to change the phrase (yet). The fact that it’s used as a positive metaphor for non-weather things should be considered too.
I’ve never heard of it used with that connotation. Even the most PC people I know use the phrase. Just because it uses the word “Indian” doesn’t automatically make it a pejorative. Some native Americans/first people call themselves Indian.
Ok I’ve thought about it a bit and I need to know. What’s wrong with Indian summer?
Yes, people want new stuff, problem is blizzard doesn’t know how to make games anymore. All of the giants who made the magic happen left the company before the sexual harassment shitstorm. All they do now is capitalize on nostalgia.
The line has “all lives matter” energy which gives it the same problems i.e derails the conversation.
I’ve learned a lot from lurking the unfettered conversation that happens here, subjects that I’ve never heard of discussed in great detail. The shitposting is next level. Just a great mix of leftie content here. Also, the site logo is fire.

It is silly to compare Voice of America (an excellent journalistic institution with a great reputation), to the Washington Post (overall pretty good), to Russia Times (literal state propaganda).
Lol lmao
