Let's try not to derail other threads (like we did with the Marvel movies thread due to James Gunn), and since this seems to be the new tactic, this chain can be about attacks on people for their past.

Trevor Noah under fire for "racist, sexist" joke made in 2013.

Digging up the past

Post by TheCatt »

You know what, how about everyone just go fuck themselves? :)

We need a Roseanne scale to determine how offensive jokes are... I'd give Gunn like a 1/4 Roseanne, and Noah at least a 1/2 Roseanne.

Fuck Trevor Noah. His whole show is about trying to embarrass and humiliate people. How does it feel?

This is my stance. Unfortunately, the left started to weaponize outrage a few years back. I'm starting to think the only way to stop it is to raise a stink about everyone so that it just becomes noise. Once it becomes ineffective, we're all better off.

Digging up the past

Post by thibodeaux »

These people have no problem digging up the past when it comes to...gasp...RACISM. So much so that we have to TEAR DOWN...no, not statues of "losers"...

No we have to erase one of the greatest poems in the English language:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6814880/s ... a-angelou/
Fatima Abid, the general secretary of Manchester's SU, posted on Twitter: "Today, as a team we removed an imperialist's work from the walls of our union and replaced them with the words of Maya Angelou.
Imagine coming to a country, and wiping out its history and culture because it's "imperialist." Bet she complains about "cultural appropriation" too.

No, my friends. As long as this shit is not only tolerated but celebrated, show no mercy. Punch back twice as hard.

Might as well break it off into its own thread, I don't think it's going to stop. This is the world, now.

Dan Harmon is next, because of an old, offensive video:

The pedo jokers, again, can go hang. They would find any excuse to hurt any of us on this board.

I can't keep up with the threads now, but the Marvel guy, James Gunn...he's got no business making kids movies, period.

Further: this has them SPOOKED. Keep it up: when the flak is thickest, you're over the target.

I, literally, created this thread hours before Gordo, but I liked his name better, so I merged them.

I pondered merging in the Weinstein thread as well, but I think that can still stay separate.

That is a profoundly stupid statement.

It's a stupid thing to say, though I agree with the sentiment of not using the term "date rape". You have forcible rape and you have statutory rape. I think we can leave it at that. I've always felt like they added "date rape" as a soft accusation that I don't much care for.

There needs to be a check mark in online dating, "Are you too timid to say no when you mean no?". Then all sane men can avoid them, any anyone who dates then can be automatically arrested.

I felt it was added as most people associate rape with strangers, whereas date rape was showing it could be people you know, using roofies, etc.ie. awareness

I'll buy that. I think it got twisted into something else, though.

Female Asian write not fired for anti-white racist tweets.

At this point, I think we should just fire twitter.
