General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

Agreed and tbh I feel the same way about people using black face when dressing up as minorities. If you aren’t doing it as some minstrel shit then who cares

 

[Hosferatu]

bruh people were mad at Sabrina Carpenter cuz in Manchild she used the word “slow” as a derogatory term.

Yeah unfortunately that's gonna be a residual thing where there's always gonna be a nitpicky bunch of PC warriors upset over every little thing, making the actual progressive arguments to be more inclusive much less effective

depends what level to me

 

[Hosferatu]

But I think a lot of people also don't acknowledge that the most frivolous of those examples almost never get off the ground lol you just see people upset about it but at worst it just results in a half ass apology and no consequences but then we have to be distracted debating what words are bad for months after

very true

 

[Comrade Khan]

If you're doing the lips you're fucked up lol

 

[The Jakifier]

If you're doing the lips you're fucked up lol

that would go under minstrel shit

I would recommend no one be painting their skin color for a costume and that includes painting white lol but old pics of people doing it I've never given a fuck about, unless it was the real minstrel stuff.

 

[The Jakifier]

But people getting shit cuz they dressed up like Mr T in the 80s is fuckin wack

 

[Chris]

I always got super annoyed when people facing consequences for something they said yesterday was grouped in with people being canceled for old tweets or black face 15 years ago. You had to think all was good or bad

 

[Hosferatu]

Yeah Imma say maybe stick to no race swapping as a good baseline. Especially because if you do blackface and go to a Halloween party, some people are probably gonna be stoked but most people are gonna be lile wtf and at that point, it's not worth it on any level

yeah obviously in today’s society it’s easier to just not.. the white shit no one gives a fuck about though Druski just did it and nothing happened

 

[Chris]

There's definitely a subset of the PC warriors that always struck me as being just as scared of celebrating these cultures they were worried about offending too and that rubbed me the wrong way

 

[The Jakifier]

 

[Chris]

God damn the sun burn

 

[Chris]

Yeah that can get a pass, I wouldn't have said so before seeing the pic
