I seriously can't believe that people don't realize that this is based off of the movie that is 100% satire. |

--- Quote from: PhantOS on February 09, 2017, 03:28:16 PM ---If you go over to someone who just lost their family to a car accident and you make a stuffty pun about their newly deceased loved ones, is it just 'words?' Is it their fault that they break into tears and never talk to you again? Are they being oversensitive? After all words are as meaningless as people's feelings. My ancestors lost their names, honor and freedom for hundreds of years. 'monday' isn't just a 'word'; it's a loving insult. I'm perfectly within my rights to be upset when someone uses it, so don't try to pull this lord-tony level bullstuff here. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on February 09, 2017, 03:56:55 PM ---Gotta be honest, you seem to have forgotten the planet-sized middle ground between being a whiny social justice warrior and being a huge, irredeemable cunt. Yes, they're "Just words"... If you go out calling people a monday, you're an starfish. If you're being condescending to people because of their skin color, you're an starfish. It is definitely hypocritical to throw out racial slurs ironically like it's going out of style and then act like you're doubly offended by the "Dear White People" series. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Mega-Bear on February 09, 2017, 04:10:07 PM ---This may come as a shock but using extremely tribal language and propagating racial stereotypes is indeed tribal!! --- End quote --- the amount of people who didn't get Carlin's point is astounding words are not inherently good or bad it's the context that defines that characteristic for them a better example "monday" is what you would call a bad word, but what about my phrase "ay, my brother" vs. this guy (who clearly has issues) who is evidently tribal towards white people and says black people cannot be tribal, all this without saying things like "wigger" "honky" "whitey" etc. in the movie/show if the word "it" were used to insult people for a long time, you'd be calling it a bad word too, which shows the flexibility words go under over time "gay" used to mean happy, now it can be used either as a descriptor or a derogative, depending on the context --- Quote from: JBlitz404 on February 09, 2017, 10:02:00 PM ---I seriously can't believe that people don't realize that this is based off of the movie that is 100% satire. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: beachbum111111 on February 09, 2017, 02:50:25 PM --- --- End quote --- yep I can't believe it either |
