i think ironic racism can go too far in that people laugh at the racism itself instead of the stupidity of the racist being satirized. that said, all this hashtag activism surrounding meta-discourse and pop culture is getting kind of tiresome. all this effort being put into getting a TV show canceled that almost definitely won't be canceled

i think rhizzone has gone over the very obvious limits of colbert/stewart enough already... i do find it humorous that Colbert is like their limit, like he's the one guy that generates a backlash "no he couldn't be racist!". what a bland sacred cow

that kind of media criticism is tiresome because it more-or-less turns into just a long list of bad shit that happened, because someone on Duck Dynasty said "fag" or whatever. its not even really a criticism at that point. its raw data at best. i think the height of this for me was when someone started listing all sexist advertising. like is that really our goal here? they already talk about patriarchy, so its not like they dont realise this a big institutional thing. if you recognise patriarchy, then why would someone be surprised when almost every single advertisement reflects that patriarchy? wouldn't the next step be to try to understand why commercials prey on those sorts of uneven power structures (and how its happening even if they don't explicitly seem sexist)?. and then the next step be how companies actively support the patriarchy in order to reproduce and modify those power structures, shaping patriarchy to their very specific needs? rarely do i see tumblr types get to the second step there, almost none that i can remember get to the third.

you can really tell the deficiencies of that sort of 'movement' when they try to discuss anything like gentrification, imperialism.... anything which requires a decent knowledge of history and a proper material analysis rather than knowing what was on tv last night.

SASS is looking up the steam profiles of social justice internet people and every single one of them plays over 40 hours of videogames a week lol

reminder that these people are the same types who complain that the fatness epidemic is because people are too busy to cook and then when you point out that they spend no less than 70 hours a week between webforums, tv and videogames they start screaming OH YES I GUESS THE FILTHY PROLES HAVE NO RIGHT TO RELAX EVER lol

Amarantinesky is pure sjw and throwing her weight around.

I think I managed a GAF of 10 once so I win :smuggo: :smith:


I looked up GAF and it stands for Global Assessment of Functioning with 100 being the highest. Of course you wouldn't expect a goon to score well on this, but the bitch got a 10.

A description of a nut scoring from 11 - 20 is:
Quote

Some danger of hurting self or others (e.g., suicide attempts without clear expectation of death; frequently violent; manic excitement) or occasionally fails to maintain minimal personal hygiene (e.g., smears feces) or gross impairment in communication


She was literally more fucked up than an incoherent shit-smearing psycho. Now she dispenses wisdom in the goon feminist thread

lets not forget that the only real "sacred cow" here is the Jewish billionaire sports team owner whose racism-profiteering was the actual thing being satirized in the first place

but yeah, thanks for sticking up for the "little guy" lol #Malkin2016
