itt a strange man asks if you saw the ass on that one

And see? You can't let it go either.

Um. Laurel, do you really think he should just "let it go." Hopefully you will say you are just kidding about this post, too.

(not that it makes it any better)

The fact that you were upset and the fact that you have a valid point doesn't actually give you carte blanche to do a Michael Richards in my eyes. If you think that makes me overly touchy, so be it.

I'll note that you STILL HAVEN'T FUCKING APOLOGIZED.

dan can we not make this about you please

The point is that Towel Head and Camel Jockey are perfectly good substitutes.

kevin just a quick tip--shut up, now

the racism comparison/n-bomb out of nowhere bugged me out to and I figured it did everyone else too. nobody even ever says anything like "did you see the black on that n****r?" and if they did it would be in a completely different context/tone than saying "did you see the ass on that one?"

comparisons of sexism and racism are generally unsuccessful because while they are both morally reprehensible, boneheaded forms of discrimination they have completely different histories and social connotations/consequences, so basically any time you try to draw the comparison you should at least have the common sense to not drop n-bombs even if it is to "make a point"/elicit a specific reaction

fwiw goole's questioning of people's thoughts weren't completely wrong imo, i mean you shouldnt be having sexual thoughts about children, for example.

ppl got defensive cuz they felt she was conflating them w/ the creep ... or something idk

yeah, doesn't much of the discomfort of this stuff comes from feeling... not as distant to the guy as you'd like? I'm sort of imagining that's what people who voted "slamming" were half confessing? It isn't like ilx not to mention 'narcissism of small differences' etc! It's the thing from the DFW article on Blue Velvet, etc...

I don't get how people can say this thread is a clusterfuck, honestly. It's really good!

k3v .... dan isnt making it 'about him'

yeah that was poor wording an i apologize, i just thought the thread took an interesting turn and we had all already called her out on it

u need to let your ideas catch up to your condescension before dropping jaded-bombs on ilx

you guys should really bring paedo into this too.

maybe you can come up with the unified theory of objectionable thoughts.

is it okay to masturbate in front of a baby if you find it physically attractive?

yes k3v i was referring to your post

Dear Kevin K

Thanks for reminding me I shouldn't be having sexual thoughts about children.

You're the best,

Que

good job picking up on that

cya

good contribution btw

laurel's right in that there's a diff standard for racist language and sexist language on ilx

that was not the best way to address it

how did we let this thread be about k3v

lol no worse than many others; mediocrity is what i strive for

this thread needs some gay slurs

this thread needs some gay curs, and by gay curs i mean dogs that are gay

^ playing with image bomb fire imo

good thing I didn't post about the old black drunk who sidled up to me in front of the library 2 saturdays ago and said "hey hey now you see her ass?"

usually in new york it's hispanic guys who call out stuff like "nice ass baby!"

fwiw i find the gratuitous use of the n-word and dumb vagina joeks equally offensive but then I'm a white guy.

we hadnt gotten into the ethnic-cataloging-of-sexists stage -- good move forward for this thread imo -- now the clusterfuck can truly begin

leave it to the white guy to call a woman a dumb vagina

haha I didn't even see Laurel's post the first time around and was all "why is Dan so butthurt" but then "load all messages" and o_0

I would just like to say I have learned nothing from this thread

Oh sweet jesus this is insane. I want to comment this ~~~ fwiw goole's questioning of people's thoughts weren't completely wrong imo, i mean you shouldnt be having sexual thoughts about children, for example ~~~ but at this point the double face palm thing is really the only appropriate response to any of this.

I am actually sorry, Dan, because that's an appalling thing to say and in fact I don't even know what assholes say about people who aren't white so I make something up which is patently ridiculous as well as offensive. But a lot of this thread has been arguing that we should give ~that guy~ a pass for similar reasons: he's poorly socialized, he's just reaching out for a human connection, he doens't know better, the fact that it was creepey and weird is precisely because vulnerability is so difficult for him, etc.

Everyone at this point who's genuinely participating here understands exactly what I meant and everyone else, I can't be bothered with.

lol @ expecting to learn something from a poll thread called "itt a strange man asks if you saw the ass on that one"

xps

Thanks.

fwiw had you just said "Did you see how dark that one was?" you would have made your point and I wouldn't have been offended.

Just to add to the clusterfuckery of this thread, what do we think about guys and lesbians checking out girls' asses together? 'Cause I will totally cop to doing this w/my friend, Monica, though Monica is more into breasts.

if you want to learn something you should be reading "quantum mechanics: c or d" or "itt m white teaches you some french"

haha yeah

I don't know about most of you guys but i scanned the choices, picked the lolest one and that was it.

laurel im not sure anyone wanted to give ~that~ guy a pass?? im not always sure i know what contenderizer is saying tho

Yeah, I was mad. Also, I genuinely don't know what kind of racist language people use to be offensive because uh I don't do it, and neither does anyone I know. Obv.

take it to braggin!

I've had arguments with my sister-in-law about who is hotter between Rosario Dawson and Natalie Portman, but never over any person we saw on the street or anything, largely because neither one of us is particularly wired for that type of conversation; once you start talking about someone you could theoretically touch, it just gets weird and creepy (esp. since I'm married to her sister, lol).

I want to comment this ~~~ fwiw goole's questioning of people's thoughts weren't completely wrong imo, i mean you shouldnt be having sexual thoughts about children, for example ~~~

Could you, anyway? I wanted to take issue with it but couldn't figure out how to articulate it without looking like I advocated pedophilia.

I don't think it's wrong to question or judge people for thoughts. I do think it's wrong to judge them as harshly as one would judge them for actions.

I thought that post was funny, insofar as I find it amusing when people feel the need to point out broad, obvious taboos. "btw modern society thinks pedophilia is the worst!"

"between thought & expression lies a lifetime" or something like that
