Which is why Theo's comments don't surprise me. I mean, the guy's idea of a joke on UG seems to be "witty" comments about how he is gonna eat someone.

Terms like "spacker" (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spacker -- seems to be a British insult) or "aspie" are totally ok. But we can't call anyone "gay". I personally prefer not to use any of those terms. I just don't see why we shame people for the latter and not the former though.

like I edited into my post in that thread. It's because those social justice blogs on Tumblr didn't tell them to defend Asberger's yet.

It shows you how little they actually care for 'equality' and such, and that it's all a pissing contest. Calling someone Autistic is such a weak insult too.

And now I remember why I retired from UG.
I also make sure not to use "gay" or "retarded" as a derogatory term (to be fair though, there was a thread on political correctness a while back and I said "political correctness is for retarded faggots" and WillT completely missed the joke and took my post seriously and lulz were had)

That's pretty much all it is. They're just using that equality shit for bullying tactics.

And because all their favorite bands are for "equality" too. I like hardcore, but some of those bands are just ridiculous when you get down to it. It's like a lot of them just spewed out whatever some feminist professor told them.
The root of the message may be good, but the way it's applied is often bad. |
