i'd put rev green above him,
it's always the ones you least expect.

I am 100% certain that there is
and I'm not about to reveal his or her identity either.

they're quite interested in the kind of language people use
when they think nobody might object.

this is b3ta,
where you automatically assume no one will be offended by anything you say.

there are fine lines
I highly appreciate the freedom of speech available on b3ta. I am intrigued as to why you use the kind of words you have this evening.

i said wog entirely in context of someone talking racistly in the gif above, completing their scentance
and use of the word darky up there ^ is entirely in an ironic way.
I don't notice this sort of "intrigue" into people making homophobic or paedophilic comments.

it suppose it depends on my state of mind as to whether I can be bothered
and I tend to think of you as someone who isn't going to get defensive or annoyed by rational questioning.
I'm not being a race nazi (ha), I was just wondering what your rationale was.
And I suppose paedophilic comments aren't really as close to the bone as racist or homophobic comments are for me.
EDIT: Having just checked back, that gif had nothing racist in it at all. YOu just put your own ideas in.

i'm not at all offended
but I'll defend what i did fiercely before i make any sort of appology.
Just look at it as though I have as little interest in racism as I do in paedophilia or homophobia so I can comfortably joke about it.
And nazi race? My granny was a jew shipped out of germany by Schindler. (as in the one with the list in the spielburg film)

as my great grandfather was in a concentration camp
and you surprise me even more by using objectifying terms like "wog" or "darkie", even ironically, if you appreciate that kind of irrational hatred that comes with a fear of unknown peoples.

and just for the sake of rounding things off
On a personal level, I just don't care either way about race, it's this polite middle class surrey upbringing, I find the idea of racism ludicrous enough to be acceptable irony.
I'd go into more waffle, but like i said, i'm off to bed. Night.

Which probably tells you
how racist language is more "taboo" than homophobic ones. I don't like either, but I've given up challenging the use of the word "gay" to mean bad* - it's much less "shocking", and so prevalent I can't be bothered any more.
* in the non-b3ta world, that is

Yes -
- so long as you're aware of the wider effects of the term, and are using it in a situation [like b3ta] where it's understood by just about everyone who sees it that it *is* ironic.
It sounds shitty, but these things do matter to, say, some guys under my care who would be utterly devastated by an incorrect usage of the term.

that's what I was saying
which is why I put the * in about not complaining about b3tan usage :)
edit: yes, sorry, it was unclear. I meant to say that "I don't like either apart from on b3ta, but..."
