Big thanks to whoever originally posted that sea shanty video, I've really enjoyed it and the derivatives these past couple of days.

Here's an interesting article on the history of that particular shanty, along with the salient point that perhaps part of the reason it's really taken off is that shanties were written as a way to inspire hope and camaraderie amongst a group of people stuck in close confines going through tough times, which has extremely obvious parallels with *gesticulates wildly at everything*

Np, it was either post it here or the memes thread and I figured it was pretty blessed. Also thanks for the article link!

It's an interesting read and definitely salient wrt the times.

Is this what we're doing now? Calling people with Downs Syndrome subhuman gets you a 6er?

I don't get the outrage. It was a clearly sarcastic post responding to a weird "even *I* would be happy to pull off flipping that pancake" - even *you* would be happy to do that? You mean, you as a 'normal' person as opposed to someone with downs syndrome? Posting disabled people doing incredibly mundane things as if it's heart warming is so drat patronising. It's like you're viewing them as a dog that's learnt how to ring a door bell or something.

They could have made the point they made about the downs syndrome clip in a different way but it's certainly a salient one and worth considering.

Now defend sarcastic racism

It's poo poo language and should be rejected wherever it gets deployed, let alone in a thread of happy/wholesome things.

e: you didn't defend it, I don't think. Apologies. But it's not okay regardless of whether it was trying to point out a problem in the post it's quoting.

I think a single clip of a neurodivergent person enjoying something fun in a general positivity thread is different from making a thread dedicated to using similar types of images/stories/clips as emotional porn.

I guess I should explain I have a tremendous vision disability and zero depth perception. So yes, if I could flip and catch a pancake, I would sincerely be jazzed as hell. I can't do that mundane thing, so it's not mundane to me. Sorry for the confusion, but please note I never said "even I'd" or anything like that.

If we're already back in the mudpit, I should clarify that what you wrote could read as you saying "Yeah the ND guy's reaction isn't unusual I'd have that reaction too (because I'm presumably not ND)!" and such a reading would skirt the ableist line... and I only say that because the history of this thread and your posting indicate that at no point was malice or discrimination was ever intended or genuine, and thus I trust you and others here are mature enough to take that analysis with grace.

Ok. I'll warn other Brits: if you have a Salient Point to make, you may still be banned for doing so by calling a person with downs' syndrome "it". There are plenty of sarcastic brit posters who manage to make posts where they don't do that. :thunk:

I read the rap sheet too and pretty much saw nothing untoward there - like a ban from KM who turned out to be a terrible mod and them getting dinged for a north European language use of the word 'oval office'.

I guess there was a better way of making the original point but it pretty much clearly was not a 'hey I think people with downs syndrome are subhuman'

fair enough if boo didn't mean it that way but I honestly did read it as p. condescending
