I don't have a sister, so maybe I don't understand, but wouldn't it be pretty easy to judge how attractive your sister was, unclothed or not?

I think the key distinction is between acknowledging that your sibling/relative looks good (normal) and being sexually attracted to them (weird).

I guess I think of the FML as saying "i didn't know she was hot until i saw her naked."

These entirely white kids glorify this manner of speaking, because it is "real".
It's the tumblr author who's doing the 'glorification' here.
Even if the writer were a linguist who could more accurately capture poor black speech (and he definitely isn't), it's still racist to imply these kids were black and to put those words in their imaginary mouths.
It's easy to read between the lines what he intended before he got policed into that qualifier that they were of all races.

I guess if they changed their tune as to race, that's an interesting datapoint. Where are you seeing anything about race on that site now though?
From snopes:
The description was later updated to include the modifier "of all races" following "urban kids" after readers opined that "urban" was a code word for black.

quote:

Are people assuming that, because this pattern of speech matches a poor (double entendre) black caricature, that it is intended to be directed at blacks?
dumb fucks who talk like this website portrays have very little to do with race, but much more about their conditions growing up.
making fun of how someone talks is about upbringing, not about race.
Just because it's not like how other socioeconomic groups talk doesn't make someone a "dumb gently caress." Thinking that way when you hear a certain kind of speech, no matter the topic of conversation, is... not making a great case.
And of course, by Occam's Razor, a site called Ghetto Hikes was not meant for its audience to think about all races of kids growing up to talk this way. It was meant for people to laugh in tune with their perceptions about black people.

You can see from the pictures how one guy tried to stop the blade with his hand.

That's a very natural reaction. It'd take lots of training to do something else instead. And by stop with his hand, I'm sure it was more like cower and shield his head with his hands out.

I know that in Chinese brush calligraphy, the brush is held in a certain grip so that it's vertical, and the hand doesn't touch the paper.

It's also top to bottom, then right to left. So a little more time for ink to dry before you return to a part you've brushed.

HECKIN? Really?

This really loving well pisses me off. If you want to swear, then swear. Don't use bowlderized swear words like "fudge" or "sugar" or gosh, heck, or darn. It sounds like you are self censoring, or are repressed as all syphilitic cunting gently caress. Thus diluting the point of whatever you are trying to say.

Especially if they try and conjugate their fake swears, as has happened with "heckin". It is really jarring.

I dunno, seems to have gotten a stronger reaction here than fuckin.
