Fluo posted:It's because Alex Salmond is getting a bit OCD about the wording. As did the No campaign before him. Both sides will try and get the wording that will most benefit their side, this is not a shock. Bell has been a poo poo about Scotland on multiple occasions and it's a little tiring.

GTO posted:The thing that surprises me about the Scottish referendum is that the rest of the UK don't get any say in the matter. Maybe if they end up voting 'stay' then the rest of us should get a vote to see if they're allowed to. Maybe on renegotiated terms, like the (possibly) upcoming Euro referendum... This is not how self-determination works.

FullLeatherJacket posted:I think he's deliberately in the process of creating a cartoon featuring every character he's ever drawn that's received an accusation of racial bias. Yeah, I figured this was what was going on (it's not really a very good idea given there's a world of difference between criticising his caricature of Bibi and his caricatures of Obama and Wendi)

I'm not sure Bell's cartoon really sits all that well with me. I get the idea but it just washes as a little classist.  Also will someone please take Riddell's black pencil away from him.

Mr. Squishy posted:We've recently made another treaty with Jordan to the effect that they'll definitely give him a fair trial. The Mail's just being a bit defeatist. Both our and the European courts have repeatedly ignored previous diplomatic efforts (with good reason) and this will be no different. Jordan are not exactly trustworthy regardless of how many stupid treaties they sign.

Mr. Squishy posted:Urban Dictionary? Really? It's not exactly a source you'd use in a paper admittedly but you'd do well not to handwave away reasonable evidence that it's a used slur - it just reflects poorly on you. It's obviously not the intention but by now Bell has a little bit of a record of accidentally being somewhat racist. It's unlikely ever to be malicious, he's just a bit of a careless idiot.

Illuyankas posted:Shades of that Final Fantasy LP where the LPer named one of the characters after a term in Hawaiian that turned out to be 'Paki' without knowing the other context. Yeah except, you know, being in English rather than Hawaiian and being very similar to the biggest racial slur going.

Cliff Racer posted:Except we are discussing a person's (assumably not from the UK) decision in another thread. Unless you were discussing Bell's decision to call him Niglet instead of that LPer's discison to call whoever that was Paki. Yes, I was saying that it's daft as gently caress to compare a Hawaiian slur to a homophonic English slur. You were rather unspecific as to which slur you were on about so I fairly reasonably presumed you meant Bell's as the more relevant to the subject at hand. E: I probably missed a comma too

Seriously, even if you hadn't heard the slur you can work it the gently caress out: -let suffix = young Niglet = young nig. Jesus loving christ I'm surrounded by liberal assholes. Bell is not above criticism because he's nominally on our side. I'm not being unfair here, I've attributed no malice but handwaving it away as "obscure" is bullshit.

I'm not sure how many times I have to say that I believe it wasn't deliberate before you stop strawmanning. The word I used was "unfortunate". This does not mean that it isn't worthy of comment or criticism. R Mute though, mate, gently caress off. "You're trying to be offended" is a bunch of poo poo trotted out by apologists of discrimination, which is exactly what you are.

R. Mute posted:Also, the word you used was 'careless idiot', as if there's any fault with Bell on this one. My very first post on the subject: mfcrocker posted:Bell, that's a reasonably unfortunate thing to be calling him If you could stop misrepresenting my argument at every available opportunity that would be great. Also no, "you're trying to be offended" has never been used innocently. It is used purely to diminish and dismiss the validity of someone's offense to a particular subject in order to shut them up. SedanChair posted:Seriously though, if you see the word "niglet" the gears ought to start turning for a few seconds, at least. "Nige" doesn't sound like "Nig" for example. But my critical process absolved him in this case This is a view I share.

Crane Fist posted:Except that it does seem like you're really trying to be offended here because you're equivocating all over the place about how it wasn't supposed to be racist but it actually almost was but he probably didn't mean it but he should be criticized for it anyway despite there being nothing to criticize him for but he shouldn't have done used a word that was almost a different word even though no one is really going to make that connection and if they do they'll dismiss it as harmless because they're not perpetually outraged Crane Fist posted:But seriously guys don't use words that might be slurs without looking them up first, I looked up every word in this sentence to make sure they weren't offensive as I wrote it and oh my god as I explain it I have to look up more and more words and I am creating a nightmarish ouroboros formed entirely from my own ability to understand context e\gndio\sfgpfin That's possibly one of the better strawman arguments I've seen. 5/5 for effort, 0/5 for content.
