The context is this link https://jezebel.com/this-is-what-happens-when-school-resource-officers-hand-498946056 about a girl being arrested and expelled when she accidentally blew up a plastic bottle in an experiment on school grounds. Everything after that is just him being a dumb edgelord with his friend.

hyperhazard posted:While I agree with what others have said, Twitter also doesn't reward assholes for apologizing. At most, you'll get a bunch of replies telling you that it's too little too late, or that you're not sincere. Or people retweeting you to make fun of the fact that you apologized. I think that's a result of confirmation bias - you only see bad apologies go around. Successful, genuine apologies don't get a lot of responses or quote-tweets because they're not enraging, and Twitter's algorithm rewards controversial posts.

"Nice guy sincerely apologises for inadvertantly causing offence" just isn't as compelling a headline, although it does happen. https://twitter.com/alyankovic/status/490724534513700864 Replies are obviously full of complaining about snowflakes being offended by everything these days, but at least Weird Al's a decent man.

That's why I can't stand digging into poo poo from many years ago searching for something we consider offensive now. Things evolve and change, and expecting absolute perfection from everyone (against current standards) for their entire past is unrealistic. What matters is how one reacts to and acknowledges that past. Al does it right: you admit it's problematic and you didn't know at the time, you do better now.

Much later in life I learned not to say the R-word, the C-word or the F-word. The bad F-word, not 'gently caress' I lectured a guy on the N-word just the other day, he's half Indian (subcontinent) and half Irish so for some reason he thought it was acceptable. Nice guy just didn't get the concept so now every time I talk to him I apologize for calling him out on it.

For some reason being treated really lovely by the British makes some Irish people think it's okay for them to use the n word, like it's the same as when African Americans use it. Reginald D Hunter, an African American comedian who lives in the UK sometimes talks about it. Air Skwirl has a new favorite as of 01:49 on Jan 4, 2021 |

Re: swear words/offensive slurs. Different places/cultures see different words as different level of offensive for many different ways. I am Australian, and have gotten in trouble on this website, and in real life for my casual use of the C word. A word which I have often and affectionally used to describe my friends, but is inappropriate amongst Americans. On a sillier note, my dad is Indian, and he said that in Chennai one of the worst things you can call someone is மைத்துனன், which translates as "brother-in-law". The insult being the implication that I hosed your sister.

I was told, when I lived in Mexico in the 1970s, that "Su tia en una bicicleta" meant "Your aunt had sex on a bicycle riding through town at high noon." I sure hope that was true.

Yep, apparently these things go in phases. They start off as purely medical terms, then they get turned into general terms, then slurs, then they stopped being used and a new word used as a medical term, which then gets turned into etc. Scope is a charity which once had a name that no-one used anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(charity)

I used to listen to Roderick's podcast with Ken Jennings and I'm really not surprised he's this degree of horrible. Outside of general annoying boomer takes, he had that weird attitude of thinking if he knew 1 factoid or had one experience with another culture, he was an expert on them and completely incapable of being racist, bigoted, etc. He can make anti-Semitic jokes, you see, because he dated a Jewish girl once. He has never murdered someone for being gay, so obviously he isn't a homophobe. Actually Ken Jennings is horrible for this, thinking that living in South Korea from like age 8-10 makes him an expert on how every Asian person thinks.

Yeah, same, in California. Course it can be hilarious when someone (who should know better) uses a relatively tame term of abuse wildly incorrectly. I used to listen to 2Griff a long time ago and he kept habitually using the word "twink" as though it meant "stupid person" or "mental lightweight" which to this day makes me guffaw

I know the other guys are more high profile but theres a girl getting really dragged in the artist community because she has a fetishized nazi OC based on a REAL nazi that turned out was also her "sona/alter ego" and she was saying she wasnt supporting the "ideology" but when people went digging it turned out she was following some legit nazi types as well as CP artists. I feel like she could have been a Main Character if it wasnt for the higher profile ones all rolling out the last couple days Heres her terribly worded apology and below someone's much better rebuttal https://twitter.com/sarahpdraws/status/1345589273622360066

Sagebrush posted:yeah my friend taught me that one when we were in high school I had a similar situation in Korean when I knew the insulting slang term for vagina but not the medical one. I was trying to describe it and was apologetic and said something like "please tell me what to say instead of __" and the woman I was talking to said "don't say that word." "I know. What would be the better word to use?" "Don't say that!"
