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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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..."
