I don't dislike him, but I also don't like him either.

It's also complete bullstuff to say that nobody cared about what I was saying when it prompted something like 13 pages of debate in that Target thread.

When it comes down to it this whole argument was you trying to explain how racism is a completely terrible thing, pretending that anyone actually disagreed with the sentiment while everyone pretty much called you ridiculous and annoying for getting upset over jokes

Shhh you can't say that stuff around ultimamax

Nah I was arguing that tribal jokes aren't harmless, though people disagreed.

A wall of text to explain how you don't text wall.

Okay. My point was that I'm not trying to overwhelm people with text or whatever. I don't really feel like any of my replies were text-heavy to the point that it was impossible to respond. If Ike can't read more than eight sentences that's not my fault.

Saying people will become tribal by hearing jokes suggests that the people hearing the joke are incredibly stupid and unable to distinguish jokes from not-jokes

See that's the thing, I already get what you are talking about and I can understand what you mean in one short and succinct post, that you think that tribal jokes aren't harmless jokes. The problem you ran into is that you droned on too long about your point and ended up getting caught up in a bunch of meaningless bullstuff that detracted from the overall message and like always in pointless internet arguments it became increasingly difficult to decipher exactly what the forget you're talking about

I don't necessarily disagree with your point, I just think you're approaching it from the wrong angle. Everyone is definitely being an starfish over the black jokes but I found them initially funny because of the audacity of the statement and it's ironic nature made them funny to me. Humor's subjective and there are no limits, after all. In a perfect world we would be debating why somebody is objectively an starfish and I think for the first half of the thread people were, it's just that nobody takes things that seriously and they probably shouldn't anyways.

But people weren't making the jokes "because racisms". I don't think any majority of people here legitimately dislike or distrust path over his skin color. The reason why the joke proliferated so quickly is for a different reason:
Here's why the joke proliferated.

jesus forget path is getting fire-forgeted

path roast thread

path is really gettin stepped on
hahah

The joke kept going because different people wanted to incite the same positive response that others were getting from making said joke. It received a great deal of good attention and people like getting attention. I guess unfortunately Path gets the lesser part of the deal because he's the butt of the joke but from what I saw in the thread he was able to take it in stride rather than get caught up about it and argue with people over stupid bullstuff for 90 pages before the thread gets locked and several people get banned because nobody can be wrong ever

I make really short posts
this is one of the many reasons I am more respected than you
while simultaneously being not respected at all

Does that come with a warranty?

[Rally]

I quit responding to ultimamax when I found out his entire point was "this joke upset me" and wasn't actually defending path. Like I'm not sure what bearing your below-average sense of humor has on anything.

yes but it doesn't cover damages caused during riots

I don't think you understand how "cringy" this is.

The first time Path came in contact with me he immediately started attacking me when I have done absolutely nothing to him, this was several years ago when SPO castle was just getting started.  Then he took it overboard on the forum.  He was the first person I didn't like on the game and the forums.  Pretty much unneeded drama that he started.
