Yes. The Monarchical Anti-Defemation League for the Advancement of Hereditary Rulership put out a press statement condemning the joke. Kings have been historically marginalized and oppressed.

Peasants never have to acknowledge their privilege of never being under threat of deposition.

Here's me being mindful of my speech: Fuck your racist thought control!


I don't use the terms being bandied about itt, but what's worse than people exercising free speech I don't agree with is the notion of banning said speech, for that will never stop. Being offended has become a currency among the religious left, with too many examples to cite, but its typically short-sighted, bereft of logic and riddled with hypocrisy.

"It's weird when white dudes complain..." you racist p.o.s. gtf over yourself.

You think it's racist to point out that some white men feel like they are persecuted because they can't use racist slurs and not face consequences?

TOC, here's a simple binary choice question. Answer correctly and I will indulge you in further discussion of the topic. Otherwise, go fuck yourself.

Alice and Bob are private citizens. Alice says something that Bob disagrees with. Bob voices his criticism of what Alice has said and advocates a boycott of her business. What has occurred here?

a) Alice and Bob have both exercised their constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech
b) Bob has denied Alice's constitutionally guaranteed right right to free speech

Street justice works real well here... You say the N word around the wrong crowd and you get your ass beat. If Pakula wants to get rid of the imoge in question, that's perfectly fine as well.

If the consequences ramp up to a statist dictate of what can be said or not, that's a line that should not be crossed.

but nobody mentioned that or thinks that is what should be done????????????? you're afraid of a reality that no one wants, and use that slippery slope fallacy so hard that you say people are racist for pointing out that white men sometimes whine about not being able to use slurs without walking on eggshells

full disclosure:

prior to this thread, you can find two instances of myself using the word 'nigger' on this board. while it was used sarcastically (something that apparently felt like a way of excusing myself from any consequences) I feel like throwing up when I read it now. I apologize to all who rightfully take offence. I never meant to use it in a malicious way but the word itself definitely feels malicious, reading it now

also, suck my guilty white dick, TOC

that doesn't change earlier voiced opinions by myself in this thread though.

Lmao. That was simply a case of the dumb Eminem analogy of "I am whatever you say I am". A little distasteful trolling without actually saying the word and simply using a Netphoria provided emoticon.

B0llys totally right though. PC culture in the United States is out of control. It's one of the main reasons why Trump won the election.

A better example could have been used by him though. For example, when the beloved Steve Martin got torn apart online for saying that the deceased actress who played Princess Leah was "beautiful"... The PC police called him a sexist piece of shit and he had to offer an apology.

It's insanity.

Trump won the election because of party identification, economic voting, and the electoral college.

Pretty much every pundit-pushed explanation ("It was PC culture! No, it was globalisation!") lacks empirical support.

Humans think in simple cause-and-effect terms (the window broke because the baseball went through it), so it's easier to digest explanations with a simple connection between intentions and outcome, explanations that make narrative sense.

But when dealing with complex phenomena, the sorts of things that require statistics to disentangle, the simple "narrative logic" often doesn't explain the situation, and the real story tends to be comparatively mundane.

I still can't understand why "hey maybe try not to be a dick to groups of marginalized people" is seen as some affront to free speech.

This thread has some bad takes
