at the end of the video, he says "i'm gonna call 911 again" (his emphasis). presumably he called before he started filming? for what it's worth.

actually dumbass it is super discriminatory that when we deem something "good enough" english it doesn't get subtitled, thereby making it harder to comprehend by any audience who themselves don't have "good enough" english

there's literally no reason not to subtitle everything. in a lot of places that is the convention and it's way better



meanwhile, there is nothing racial about accents. the guy in that video is clearly putting on a super phony bad asian accent and is probably actually a yosposter who is delighted to be puppet mastering you PC-obsessed retards every time the topic comes up. do you rike it, motherfucker

there is a target accent for american broadcast television. if you're far from the target, you get subtitled.

it's not about "native" vs "non-native" accents

it's 2016. everything in the world has subtitles available, up to and including over the air broadcast television.

what we are talking about is forced subtitles, where the subtitles are burned into the image even for users who have subtitles turned off. it's not discriminatory to add extra subtitling for folks who didn't even know their tv had a CC feature

i think you're arguing that it's discriminatory to assume people can understand different accents, no matter how vague? which is weird because that's basically saying that anybody who hasn't cultivated a Transatlantic accent is unintelligible, which doesn't fit into the "oh ho you're the real bigot here" thing.

i don't even know where the race thing came from, i just think it's funny when somebody with a vague canadian accent on television is subtitled in their own language


anyway,

there is a small loud irritating core of extremely censorious posters who have been so loving perniciously effective at pussifying this subforum over the last 5 years that im pretty sure they're government agents. that's poes law, kyle. they could just be stupid asshoes who are especially bad at posting, I guess

seriously, it's "racist" to wonder what he is saying instead of blindly agreeing with your interpretation, [poster with memes about not listening to him which may or may not be organic, i have no idea]?

RACE ISN'T REAL. racism is bad because believing in race is a FLAWED PARADIGM. it's an ism. race hyphen ism. you idiots. it does not mean noticing that people from different countries have different dialects of english. english is nothing but dialects!

nailed it. ESL speakers use subtitles more than anybody.

It is always Friday night, motherfuckers

look you stupid fuckers the guy says "holy poo poo, piiIsss"

he says "holy" correctly, but his accent makes the l less distinct than when a native english speaker says it, so one can be forgiven for mishearing him as saying "hory." it's stereotypical, but as stated many asian languages treat r and l as the same sound and they're very similar phonetics so it's pretty easy to get them messed up. this guy doesn't do so, though.

however he is definitely saying pisssss. he says it as kind of a two syllable word, like "pi-issssss" which sounds weird, but there's no way in hell he's saying "badass" and if anything is racist it's assuming his accent is so bad that when he says badass it sounds like piiiiisssssssss. why would you even refer to poo poo exploding as badass? badass is if a dude does something rad, not when something explodes or whatever and people get hurt. it doesn't make sense.

therefore never quote stymie <3

edit: i am really happy with graph and smythe's modding and am glad you are not allowed to post lovely cartoons. my only complaint is that they still allow music videos to be posted.
