It would be great if someone did a subtitle of that Hitler in the war room scene in that movie, but with Elon musk as Hitler "Everyone below gold check, leave the room now"

Incitatus posted:Man, gently caress Oskar Schindler. Spielberg needs to make a movie about the guy who didn't laugh at Chapelle's Netflix special! I think the point is that only a handful ever have courage, opportunity, and resources at any given point in history who could ever become an Oskar Schindler. Pretty much everyone can make their voice heard in small ways multiple times a day with who you associate with, what media you choose to support, etc. Not saying anyone even has to apply that level of scrutiny to themselves, but if lots of people do that, our voices do add up.

"What media you choose to support" is in no way material action, it is literally just cultural signifier. What movies you watch or what YouTube peoples' Patreons you donate to is utterly inconsequential in any meaningful sense.

I’d argue that it becomes material once you’re out there talking about it with others. I’d rather live in a society where Chapelle is shunned for spouting transphobic hate than one where everyone still likes him a great deal. As with so many things in politics/society, an individual doing something is next to inconsequential, but if everyone decides that this transphobia is quite acceptable and indeed funny, that’s very loving consequential.

Why does Elon Musk look so weird? Why is his name "Elon"? What kind of name is that? It sounds weird. And "Musk" is that his actual last name, like musk is the stuff that comes out of animals' buttholes to mark their territory, why would that be his last name? What a weirdo!

Earwicker posted:i dont know why you think this tendency is specific to something awful. humor changes dramatically over time, both in the sense that culture changes and what is considered funny or acceptable as comedy changes, and in the sense that as people age they tend to find different things funny than when they were young. its not just chapelle, there are a ton of old sitcoms and sketch comedy shows from the past that were once wildly popular, but come across as unfunny, or offensive, or dull, or just nonsensical in a modern context. A good example of this is Seinfeld. It was great back in its time but comedy has improved so much since then that by today's standards Seinfeld just seems painfully unfunny. I can't watch it.

...! posted:A good example of this is Seinfeld. It was great back in its time but comedy has improved so much since then that by today's standards Seinfeld just seems painfully unfunny. I can't watch it. Seinfeld is one that both me (a millennial) and my parents (boomers) enjoyed when it was on and the years after in syndication. So many of the jokes and premises wouldn’t fly today; both me and my parents acknowledge that. “They couldn’t make this today…” Parents: “… because people have gotten too sensitive.” Me: “… because we know better than to have casual (or overt) racism and homophobia in our comedy.”

Popoto posted:Lovecraft, too, I -think- came back later in life to comment on his overt racism in his early career (dont quote me on that.) maybe someone can confirm. No,he's moved on from certain views but didn't budge on others and never regretted his views. Lovecraft 1916 posted:‘I regard the Celts as an inferior race, but little better than Mexicans, & but little more capable of self-government. They could never maintain an orderly existence save under the domination of some branch of the Teutonic master race—if they could leave England, they would have to take Germany as a master; in fact, I am not sure but that they need a few Prussian methods to curb their ebullient & seditious emotions.’ Lovecraft 1934 posted:‘With the high-grade alien races we can adopt a policy of flexible common-sense—discouraging mixture whenever we can, but not clamping down the bars so ruthlessly against every individual of slightly mixed ancestry. As a matter of fact, most of the psychological race-differences which strike us so prominently are cultural rather than biological. If one could take a Japanese infant, alter his features to the Anglo-Saxon type through plastic surgery, & place him with an American family in Boston for rearing—without stemming him that he is not an American—the chances are that in 20 years the result would be a typical American youth with very few instincts to distinguish him from his pure Nordic college-mates. The same is true of other superior alien races including the Jew—although the Nazis persist in acting on a false biological conception.’ He died in 1937 This was from 1936 Lovecraft in 36 posted:I do not believe that either the negro or australoid race will ever rise to power or found an autochthonous civilisation—both being of definite biological inferiority. Each forms a sort of sub-species (not a separate species, since interbreeding with undiminished fertility is possible of homo sapiens; exhibiting radical departures from the human norm established by the caucasian-mongoloid races, all of which departures are in the direction of the lower primates & of the extinct hominidae or sub-men whose skeletal remains have been so closely studied. As the ground-ape stock behind mankind evolved, it was constantly getting differentiated & throwing off lateral branches of sub-men, some of which seem to have quickly perished, whilst others survived & multiplied (like the neanderthaloids) down to a period on the verge of recorded history. Up to & including homo neandertalensis, these sub-men were undoubtedly of a separate species from ours—

The issue is when people start judging what is hate speech, as everyone will have a subjective opinion on what constitutes it. I mean people in this forum are reflecting on poo poo they watched 20 years ago and creating misery for themselves.
