Perhaps we should not use slurs against the mentally disabled, regardless of who they are. I hope this is an agreeable stance to take, and the possibility of halting your use of "retard" does not make you angry. :)

I agree, hence the apology. :3:

Yeah, and the one who keeps shrieking for me to "shut the gently caress up" posted this:


:allears: They sure do like misusing the word "retarded", for people who are so mad that they refuse to accept an apology over someone misusing the term "autistic".

"Sorry you were offended and you're ignored now" isn't an apology dipshit

Perfect username.

I said "sorry", then when people kept going after me, I said "sorry you're still mad, ignored". Please try reading things before you get mad at them, especially if you want to call other people "dipshit", dipshit. :3:

Gonna be honest, the way that project is written up is so batshit insane, and the author seems so lost up their own rear end, I'm not entirely sure if it's pro-NRx or anti-NRx.

It's an analysis of NRx that points out they ask valid questions but then come up with really, really stupid answers.

And it's written in an assumed style, the author is much less confusing day-to-day.

Good to know. I wasn't sure if we were supporting a cool project or egging on a nutcase. Glad to see it's the former, as the latter always feels a little bit too much like alt-right behavior, like when gamergate convinced that crazy dude to try and kill Brianna Wu. I guess that's the problem with well-written assumed style. You come off as that which you and your presumed audience dislike.

Did some checking, and "batshit crazy" goes back to at least 1993, while just plain "batshit" dates back to at least the 60s. So while "batshit insane/crazy" may be redundant by its original use, it has been an accepted way to use the word for close to 3 decades now. :eng101:

Nah, I said "sorry" and they raged some more. Maybe take your own advice and cool off?

I admit, I got a little mad when two of the people up my rear end for being insufficiently sorry have been shown to call people "retarded" and "autistic" as slurs themselves, but I'm good now. :shobon:

Keep raging, though, if it makes you feel better. Sometimes you need to get that hate out.

How much of the /pol/ alt right is a result of South Park? Is the "ironic" antisemitism they do a function of growing up while enjoying Eric Cartman? The childish nihilism is a dead match, but there have always been garbage people who refuse to grow up.

Eh, if you don't like me, feel free. I mean, I am the monster that made the same joke a million other people on the site have (including most of the people who took offense), and I did apologize in a way that people didn't find sufficient.

TBH I'm a little disappointed no one told me to kill myself or made fun of anxiety sufferers. I wanted to get a "ok first of all how dare u" moment of my very own... :sigh:



If we want to get this thread back on track, though, I think this is kind of a cool little example of how the alt-right finds so many converts. Someone makes a stupid-rear end statement, gets called out, and apologizes for it, or points out it's no big deal. People at that point are all high on moral outrage and want to rip and tear, rather than accept and forgive, so you get the image of "evil liberal lynch mobs tearing me apart for a simple joke :qq:", when it's just someone being an rear end in a top hat in one direction, then several more people being assholes in the opposite direction. I'm not excusing alt-right behavior or saying I'm going to go make a twitter account with an anime avatar to worship Milo, just that I think this is the mechanism by which quite a few people get the wrong impression of the left.

And we can't forget this. The idiots who take the South Park "middle stance for everything" view, along with the "ironic" racism/sexism/homophobia to heart.
