I mean, you can, but it’s just gonna make people think you’re being ridiculous.

Bitch is also a gendered slur but no one seems to be a little bitch about it.

In Australia the term's used affectionately, among men and women to refer to men and or women. There's also a class component to the use of the term in Australia and the UK. I'm not comfortable with the word being censored because Americans have taken a moral stance on it, given that, as Esco points out, we're an international forum.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. As stated, I don’t plan on using the word - I don’t especially have any personal affection for the word - but Idiom is 100% right here. It’s just not a thing I think is reasonable to request. e: for what it’s worth muscles I know you only had good intentions and I’m not judging you Escobarbarian fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Nov 1, 2021 |

"This isn't considered lovely where I am so you have to deal with it where you are" is not in fact inclusive, it's lovely. There are a lot of places that are cool with a lot of slurs, doesn't make them not slurs!

There are a lot of places that are cool with a lot of slurs, doesn't make them not slurs! The n-word is a slur worldwide. The c-word is a slur in a country that slaps NC-17 ratings on movies that show the face of a woman being sexually pleasured. There’s a huge, huge, difference, and I’m unhappy with the disingenuous argument presented in your post.

LifeLynx posted:He's not woke, he's tolerant of one specific thing because his kid is. "I'm not a monster". There's plenty of monsters in real life who make exceptions for a minority group they or their loved one belongs to, it's far from "woke". Oh yeah I agree, I wasn't saying that he was. What I quoted is what I've seen people say when they're whining about it, and I find it hilarious they're getting so pissy over something like that in the first place. Not just for the reason you said, but also like I said in the spoilered part, I'm pretty sure he isn't even genuinely being tolerant, he's just using the fact to gaslight this kid into trusting him. After all this comes on the heels of him being confronted and lying about what he did earlier in the episode. Seems like it was just a manipulation tactic on his part.

Open Source Idiom posted:In Australia the term's used affectionately, among men and women to refer to men and or women. There's also a class component to the use of the term in Australia and the UK. These are literally the exact same arguments that have been used for every single slur before people eventually accepted that punching down isn't a great look and that slurs cause harm whether you mean it or not. human being, retard, friend of the family, tranny, the same cycle has happened every single time. I get that you don't mean anything against women when you use it, but your intent doesn't actually matter here. I swear, I really do understand your position! When I was a teen me and all my friends were calling everything gay and calling each other fags completely casually, and it wasn't until I realized that I myself wasn't straight, that I realized that how using "gay" as a synonym for "bad" was making it so much harder to accept myself. edit for content: also yes Chucky is great. Visually just really great, which I wasn't expecting. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) XboxPants fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Nov 1, 2021 |

I didn’t know Australia used the n-word, the r-word, the homophobic f-word, and the transphobic t-word as affectionate terms for people to call each other in the past. What a crazy country! Also posting those words uncensored in order to ‘make a point’ or whatever is unbelievably gross, dude.

XboxPants posted:Yeah this is getting snipped Yeah nah. I see what you're saying, but your argument misses cases where terms have been taken back by marginalised groups, or otherwise reappropriated -- "queer" and "bitch" for instance, were once slurs, but now have new, context dependent meanings that don't retain their previous negative valency. "C**t" is another. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Nov 1, 2021 |

Here are some good shows I started yesterday: Swagger - latest Apple drama based on Kevin Durant’s teen life. Really good stuff and great performances from the three leads, one of which is Ice Cube’s son (another is Quvenzhané Wallis). It’s clearly going for a teen audience so it can be a little overwritten but is mostly a really great depiction of youth basketball. Blindspotting - Starz show based on the 2018 movie, following Jasmine Cephas Jones’ secondary character from the movie as she’s unexpectedly thrust into a new situation. The movie is excellent and so is the show. The first two episodes are super funny and so full of energy. I think this one’ll rank high in my year-end list and I give it my highest recommendation. You don’t need to have seen the movie at all but I recommend it too cos it rules and is barely over 90 minutes. Also I’m very sure after 303 that Succession is gonna be my #1 show on the poll this year. This season is shaping up to be a real classic.

Really enjoying Fairfax on Amazon. It's a sweet animated satire about clout chasing and protestor culture, which is also loving funny and very nicely animated. Might not be my top ten of 2021, but probably my top twenty. Anyone seen it?

zoux posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJ1cw6mohw Hope the show follows through with putting Bib Fortuna's brain into one. Trailer was... all right, I guess? Technically, it looks great. But still don't really know what the general plot is, beyond "Boba Fett tries to become a nice gangster." And that definitely isn't really all that interesting to me. But I'm going to watch it anyway, so they did their job.
