imgur (outside of its plain ol' image-hosting function) is basically another front-end for Reddit. Don't bother looking for anything there but the same lovely culture.

Raenir Salazar posted:I don't know if this is from a recent episode as I stopped watching South Park yonks ago but did South Park really just say that there shouldn't be hate crime laws? Yeah, as mentioned it was season 4 but we got into a big discussion about it in the South Park Season 17 thread towards the end. I brought up how I think it's the worst message and completely misses the point of hate crime laws. It was even worse because that was right around the time of Matthew Shepard and the black man being dragged to death down South. Both high-profile and both classed as hate crimes. The humor outside of the message is great like Cartman in juvie, but the whole idea of two white guys writing and voicing a black son and his father about how hate crimes aren't really different is hosed up.

The law has been taking people's thoughts and motivations into account during sentencing since long long before hate crime laws, you dumb cartoon men

Imgur is where sad nerds go to win imaginary arguments and whine about nagging bitches using image memes. The site really suffers from having no "subreddits", so you only get a firehose feed of the worst image circlejerk the Internet has to offer.

To be fair to this dumb opinion about hate crime laws, they did make a point last season that if Trayvon had been white Zimmerman would have been railroaded through the system.

That whole south park thing makes zero sense. Hate crimes are such because they are provably not crimes against an individual but against the race or religion or gender or sexuality or what have you. They're different crimes because the victims are different. I guess we can apply the typical south park logic and imply they favor removing the aggravating factor of the victim being a child - rape is rape after all, how are we to say the rapist meant to rape a child and not just the first target of opportunity without regard for age? Motivation shouldn't affect the sentencing, y'all!

StealthArcher posted:Murder 1, 2 and Manslaughter should all be the same charge. Perhaps the truth is in the middle and it only counts when non-white people are the target of racially motivated crimes. E: by that I mean South Park's argument - not that hate crimes only count when committed against nonwhites. FAUXTON fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Dec 1, 2014 |

Kalman posted:If it had happened it'd be an issue. Yeah it's a very tenuous connection. Here's the way I understand it: McCulloch is chairman or spokesman or something of a charity called something like Hope For Cops or whatever that raises money for the usual police stuff like widow funds. After the Brown shooting some guy, who is not McCulloch, starts a fundraising campaign for Wilson, with all money going to that organisation. How close am I?

I find a lot of people's characterization of South Park to be unfairly harsh most of the time but in this case, yeah, that's truly a terrible message. It does seem like they've been trying to make up for their earlier awful opinions lately though, except for the recent episode about trans-bathrooms. I may have misinterpreted their message, but that one was also awful.

So are we making a new thread for December, or should we ride this through the rest of the lame duck period? US Politics December - Congress, More Like Dongress (We've Got Nothing Until January) stinkles1112 posted:I find a lot of people's characterization of South Park to be unfairly harsh most of the time but in this case, yeah, that's truly a terrible message. Especially since crimes covered by hate crime statutes are not crimes against an individual per se, but against an individual as a representation of a class-- it's an attempt to stifle, suppress, and diminish a group of people as a whole, and is considered an attack on an entire group.

Yeah, I'm much more troubled by the fact that he's the president of the cops' booster club than that Wilson supporters want to donate to it. He's unfit to prosecute cops, period, regardless of pro-Wilson charities.

Like many things marketed as manly, it is meant to appeal to insecure men who think if they do anything comfortable or pleasant they will lose a piece of their identity. I'm guessing tea is considered not-manly because it has traditionally been expensive and thus for bougie fops? (So expensive England got China hopped up on Opium for it.)

The fact that the campaign involved a web game where you shoot/destroy symbols associated with women is troubling. It also reminds me of all those shoot pikachu games on newgrounds I thought were edgy and cool circa 2001.

Flip Yr Wig posted:Yeah, I'm much more troubled by the fact that he's the president of the cops' booster club than that Wilson supporters want to donate to it. He's unfit to prosecute cops, period, regardless of pro-Wilson charities. It's a charity to support the children of police, EMS, and fire responders who died performing their jobs, not a "cops boosters club." Which, notably, means that there is no circumstance in which that charity could support Wilson. Given that he himself is a child of a policeman who died in the line of duty, I think it's no more a conflict of interest than him being himself, which is to say - it isn't. (Just curious: were any of you arguing McCulloch should have recused because his dad was shot also arguing that Walker should have recused himself from the Prop8 case for being gay?)
