At least chess shows that medieval Europe was loaded with black people.

I found a good actual play recap of gamma patrol a while back, but I can't find it any more. e: Found it! I'm up for another go at Gamma Patrol, though obviously after I've finished with some of my current games.

I'm pretty sure the punch-line was that rooks are the chess piece completely impossible to assign a gender to. It'd be like saying asking why there are no Latino chess pieces, only white and black.

So at what point has a certain group been enough brought into the fold that you can make fun of them? Can we make "drunk irish" jokes now? "mobbed up" italians? "lazy mexicans" is clearly off the table, but I feel the polish are an edge case, they are white, mostly christian, but they are undergoing pretty real discrimination in the UK right now and have historically been a punching bag. Are the spanish white enough to mock? Not that I know enough about them to really think of anything offensive.

We all paid very good money to be here. And we shouldn't have to put up with stupid jokes or be told "lol lighten up" because of who we are or what we were born with. (What we think of certain things is a slightly different matter. For example, I can say with much confidence that if this is really what you think and not some strange FYAD affectation, that I am happy that I don't play games with you, bunnielab.  )

Like, unless you find the entire concept of levity to be wrong, you must find something funny, let me know. Like really, I swear I am not "just asking questions", I honestly want to know. I work in a super super progressive profession (theatre) and have never encountered this level of....I dont even know, ideological purity? in real life before. So, in all respect, and please feel free to PM me, but honestly want to know where you two, whom I believe are not just trolling or fake posting, stand on the idea of comedy and social justice.

Super simple way of understanding mockery humour without covering all the specifics. If the person is more fortunate and is known to be well off, its okay to mock them. If a person is less fortunate and known to have to undergo hardships regularly then its often not okay to mock them.

what the gently caress is going on how did i miss hivemindchat 'cos that's kinda ~appealing~ in the abstract why are there so many overtalkative garbagechans here suddenly bunnielab posted:I said it in a lovely way but the point is valid, if you are going to ask people to " not using people as a punchline when they're part of a marginalized group of people" then it is a fair question to ask "whom is a fair target to be used as a punchline"? Evil Mastermind posted:The other problem is the "tumblr SJW", who by dint of loudness became the "face" of the concept social justice. These are the people who have no sense of scale to their moral outage: all offenses are equally offensive, all injustice is equally terrible. They have the same rage level regardless of if they're seeing a news story about a trans teen being beaten to death or if they're a vegan seeing someone post a picture of their steak dinner on their photostream. And because they treat every slight as the end of the loving world, people now associate even a basic statement as "misogyny is bad" with stuff like "my doctor said I needed to lose weight because I'm running a severe health risk HOW DARE HE FAT SHAME ME". how do you get from "someone saw the doctor and got upset bc the doctor focused on weight (to the neglect of any other issue by the sound of things)" to THOSE "TUMBLR" "SJWS" THEY HAVE NO SENSE "OF" SCALE like yeah being overweight is a health problem but if it's not the sole problem somebody's worried about I don't see where it's some ~CRAZY TUMBLRINA THING~ so much? And if your takeaway from the majority of SJ stuff on social media (tumblr or twitter or otherwise!) is 'HRNFGH IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'RE SEEING A PICTURE OF STEAK OR A TRANS TEEN MURDERED IN AN ALLEY THEYRE SO ANGRYYYYYY' i think that's more telling about you than anything else.
