there, now can we stop this stupid charade people

Was wondering when you were going to see this.

I said in the thread not in the poll

douche

Also, that hulking out frog is both adorable and disgusting. I am so conflicted!

btw I meant to type touche, but you can just pronounce douche like that instead

sure you did

I said in the thread not in the poll

douche

you have to like, consider the subtext man

things white people say

things the fathers of Asian children say, you worthless piece of shit.

i guess you're really the victim here then

wow you need to settle down

At least we got to see everyone's huge fucking midwestern high schools. That was a nice point in this thread.

man I know suggest bans only count once but it feels so good to do it again

It's interesting, dayo. I had actually composed a huge response to you talking about frogs on some other thread this weekend, but my shitty new cellphone wouldn't post it. I tried like three or four times, to no avail. My whole thought was a solid paragraph long, but the gist was "okay, he's an ass, but I honestly think he's trying to engage in discourse with us."

I no longer believe this!

^^^ That was what I thought last week too when I called people out on jumping all over his posts. I no longer believe it either, sadly.

my very first sb!

my first in a long time, and I don't even SB ppl who call me a fucking bitch.

I might SB you if you keep ignoring my fb friends request! >:O (kidding, obv)

Im curious as to the HS posted here:

enbb, frogbs apologist

My whole thought was a solid paragraph long, but the gist was "okay, he's an ass, but I honestly think he's trying to engage in discourse with us."

I appreciate that but I think only a select few were actually trying to engage on a level that wasn't name-calling

I guess you're really the victim here then.

tbf the response I'm seeing to a couple people name calling is typically to be cryptically sarcastic and then treat ilx like you don't care what anyone thinks for another day or so

i'm not going to pretend like i don't care, rather a little shocked at the kind of logical fallacies that normally smart posters succumb to when talking about an issue that's even a little controversial

Could you explain this fallacy?

I think what you're not getting is that we don't have to have group consensus or bully someone into being right or wrong

like, the people who find this shit funny aren't really posting to the thread, but they obviously are on ilx for some reason or another

So if you're perpetually getting said "hey, no one speaking hereis buying your arguments and we do find this offensive" then explaining to someone why it isn't offensive, when they obviously have the right to be offended, isn't going to go anywhere

to be fair, the only way I get along is by not posting on threads that are heated where I have a strong opinion, because it doesn't help me OR the discussion most of the time. and if I feel genuinely underqualified, as white midwestern dude who has asian friends but no huge personal stake, I'm going to let it go

for instance, dayo and aero are pretty cool dudes imo and they have a personal stake here, so even if I did find this shit funny, I'd be seriously asking myself why, or at least not be outright saying "HEY PEOPLE FIND THIS FUNNY" because I respect them

ok I've done my community service for the week, where's my free coffee

you're entitled to steal coffee from a 7-11 now

Well the thing I was trying to hammer home over and over is that I do believe it's offensive and in bad taste, and that's part of what makes it funny TO SOME PEOPLE. In the case of this character, I found the fact that somebody would think that he's typical of anything to be funnier than the character itself, but also, that yes, I laughed at a few of his lines (and would have even if the character was a space alien), and that yes I didn't really feel good about it, but using that to make sweeping generalizations on MY character is stupid. I have a personal stake in a lot of race issues too but IMO that only loosely applies here and I think I tend to give people a lot more credit. I get the "I have Asian kids, you shouldn't laugh at Asian stereotypes" argument, but when it turns into "you're a shitty person for laughing at this who obviously has some deep seeded racist beliefs" when I grew up with a ton of Asian people, none of whom were anything like this character, then yeah I'm going to get all uppity about it. If you asked me "could you go back in time and destroy this film", yeah, I would.

his idea that people are shitty for laughing at it is just, like, his opinion, man. don't get all butthurt for one person drawing a hard line in the sand

stop saying "deep seeded" you shitstain

That and the use of phase instead of faze are going to be the slow silent death of me.

yeah I'm going to get all uppity about it

you guys need to recognize a true master

frogbs honestly may be the best troll we've ever had

ha
xp

I just can't...

I think we may be too dumb to be properly trolled. At least I am.

comparing asians to space aliens nagl for your argument

frogbs honestly may be the best troll we've ever had

no question at all

nice to see that in 2012, 42 members of socially progressive message board ILX find a racist, flagrantly offensive and stereotypical asian character written by a white guy from a rich chicago suburb to be 'funny'

just gonna ignore the bottom half of the results, too

whats wrong with chicago >:(

If Ferris Bueller is supposed to represent the idealized Chicago, where the neatest thing for a kid playing hooky is to go to a snooty restaurant and then a museum, then sing in a white pride parade, then that's what's wrong with Chicago.

pretty much the white suburban chicago dream right there

I don't get it at all. My mom would kill me if I made fun of an Asian! Plus he is kind of cute. As far as Ferris Bueller I knew people like that in high school, you are supposed to listen to new wave music, get mad at your dad and then kill yourself. Feel bad about being rich!

when i played hooky in the chicago burbs i hung around belmont and clark went to 'the alley' and seedy record shops.

I never played hooky but sometimes we went downtown without telling mom and dad. Get twenty bucks from dad, drive downtown and eat at Melrose.
