1. Male genital mutilation is a HUGE and SERIOUS human rights issue. It's not as simple as *snip snip*, if you believe that, you are BRAINWASHED and DESENSITIZED. You are MUTILATING A BABY'S BODY, it is SICK and BARBARIC child abuse and TORTURE. If you support mutilating baby's genitals for unnecessary reasons, or are ambivalent to it, you are BRAINWASHED and a horrible human being. (Seriously, gently caress you if you support it and I say this not as administrator, but as a human being with opinions.)

2. Male genital mutilation can have a huge influence on the development of the human psyche, and if you believe otherwise, you are BRAINWASHED. Studies have PROVEN mental illness is linked to trauma as a baby.[1][2] The fact alone is extremely noteworthy and can pave the way for the development of personality, which is why it should be listed near the top of Walter's article.

3. It is HEAVILY implied Walter had his penis mutilated as a baby. Almost everything in Silent Hill is symbolic, and the fact that you can find human skin, anesthesia in a skin, bloody forceps, restrained child/baby figures, etc, is likely NOT a coincidence. Not to mention, Walter was an American born in the 1960s, when the vile practice was extremely popular and at its heyday. Even then, the article does not say Walter had his genitals mutilated as a fact, it only suggests a POSSIBILITY. This is the way this Wikia has been: possibilities and speculation are allowed, as long as there is sufficient evidence for it.

4. Silent Hill is ALL about the injustices of America - it's literally what the ENTIRE series is about. There is nothing wrong with going a little into detail about the history surrounding male genital mutilation (in America).

5. This injustice is STILL an injustice because moronic people are STILL completely BRAINWASHED about the truth of mutilating genitals and its effects, and there is, again, no compensation for male genital mutilation survivors and victims.

Guys, blackface isn't okay anywhere. Under any circumstances.
Why? Because of racial tensions in the United States that have their roots in slavery.

Luckily Australia doesn't have any racial tensions so that makes blackface okay!!

Edit: just kidding, it's still offensive in Australia. Well I guess it might be acceptable in Tasmania since it's the one state who solved their issues with the local indigenous population.

Swamp German here; Zwarte Piet has fallen out of fashion in recent years after some black people started protesting and we all realized it hurt their feelings. Now the big cities do something instead (like charcoal dust on the cheeks, to symbolize being dirty from going down a chimney, or rainbowface), and only the hicks in little villages are holding on to this tradition.







quote:

Santa: "So for 50 cents a piece I can have them all?"
Sinterklaas: "Yes, please take them, I'm not allowed to have them anymore."

Zwarte Piet is obviously racist, and should probably go, or atleast be changed. The matter on how racist it is, is a bit more nuanced though.
Sinterklaas (the holiday Zwarte Piet is asociated with), is a children's holiday. When growing up I had no idea that Zwarte Piet was actually supposed to portay a person of colour. To me they were just dark coloured clowns. This ignorance lasted till far into being an adult, in part because you rather not see the faults in a tradition you love, and in part because Zwarte Piet is pretty much the only instance of blackface we see in the Netherlands. No such thing as minstrels and gollywog.

As posted above, the climate is changing and discussion is opening up, but there's a lot of resistance. Part of this comes from the lack of understanding that when talking about racism, it's about a system of oppression. That when you're a part of the dominant culture or demographic, you will always be racist in ways that you yourself can not see. And that this does not mean you're literally Hitler. Example, my mom: When the discussion that Zwarte Piet 'might' be racist comes up, she gets so upset because she feels accused of being a terrible person for having good childhood memories about a holiday.

So yeah, it's not an case of hateful mockery of a minority, and much more dumb dumb ignorance maintained by cultural inertia.

OPTIC BLAST!
Wherever Zwarte Piet falls on the spectrum of racism, it would be even more racist if the Netherlands had a more pronounced history of mocking black people via minstrel shows, a greater number of black slaves over a longer period of time, more prevalent black stereotypes about chicken, watermellon and whatever else.

This is why whiteface isn't a problem, by the way. Whiteface doesn't carry the same history of unnecessary, pointless and hurtful mockery of a persecuted minority. It isn't a fair comparison.

So, blackface is a problem. If you can make an attempt to understand why and how it's a problem, you will be better positioned to avoid unnecessary racially insensitive behaviors in general.

Non-Americans definitely have their own issues, but as far as why blackface is a problem, the centuries of racial tension in the United States has more than it's fair share to answer for. I'm sorry if this triggers any hurt feelings to any uber-patriots.
