    Yep. Once you’re in the orbit of Nazism I couldn’t care less. Is electronic right in general? Yes. Is choosing these particular people as examples a wise or necessary fight to have? Not at all.

    I mean if someone tried to tell me I couldn't roast Hitler for his shitty mustache or for being a short fella I'd laugh in their face,

    that’s the thing I thought (and maybe I’m wrong) but I was under the impression that electronic was arguing that they should be given grace and empathy for those things (wheelchair and looks). That’s where I disagree. In general I don’t think people should be mocked for innate characteristics but that flies out window when that person is a White supremacist. Obviously there are things I wouldn’t defend (dropping the hard R making fun of Milo because he “was” gay) but here I think it is open game.

    Height is something I think you can roast buddies over, others, not so much. Unless they're a Nazi.

    height being overweight being bald all things that we probably shouldn’t but seem to be excused for some reason.

    I think you shouldn't make fun of someone being in a wheelchair and I think most in this thread know that to be true despite being dug in for one reason or another in this instance

    His point was that jokes about being in wheelchairs and a woman being ugly are bad jokes, even if the target deserves to be mocked, because those types of jokes are hurtful to people who aren’t those deserving targets. Like racist “jokes,” ableist and misogynistic jokes are bad even if the person they target is individually deserving of being hurt.

    Nazis don’t deserve common holdbacks on any insults towards them because they sure as shit won’t hold back on using them on anyone else. That guy needs to be afraid for being a Nazi as much as he is afraid of stairs.

    bald is another reserved for friends, I don't pick on weight, that one seems a lot more touchy than the others for some reason.

    Sorry, I'll stop de-railing this.

    Fuck Nazis and those who are Nazi adjacent.

    I understand his point and as a general rule I’d agree but those societal niceties become voided by being a Nazi. At that moment you lose all empathy from me.

    Compared to his evil dictator brethren, Hitler was one of the taller ones. Stalin, Lenin and Franco were 5 foot 4.

    LEAVE HITLER ALONE. LEAVE HIM ALONE.

    I make fun of ugly men just as much as ugly women and it’s approaching reverse-misogyny to suggest a woman’s looks = their value and are somehow more protected than a man’s looks? Am I off-base here?

    You’re still missing the point. It’s not about empathy for the Nazi; it’s about empathy for non-Nazi’s who are in wheelchairs.

    I guess a similar way that Cracker isn’t a different hard R.

    Objectifying men and women isn’t the same. History and power structures make them different.

    I didn’t want to call it normal misogynistic, I don’t know how to label this idea: making women’s looks a sacred thing reinforces society’s existing objectification of women. I’m saying it wrong to make anyone link up this with the straight pride parade stupidity, you all know me well enough.

    If a short person is a Nazi, call them a Nazi piece of shit.
    If a woman is a Nazi, call her a Nazi piece of shit.
    If someone born without legs is a Nazi, call them a Nazi piece of shit.
    If a Trans person is a Nazi, call them a Nazi piece of shit.
    Short, Trans, handicapped or female shouldn't have anything to do with it because it's just not relevant imo

    Thread really went off the rails after someone said Laura Loomer looks like a stunt double from White Chicks.

    Whoever that is must be a huge asshole who doesn't have a problem commenting on repugnant public figures they'll never meet in a way that would likely cut them deeply. Fuck that guy.

    Also, I think electronic just makes a lot of us uncomfortable because he's right, and we know it. We all fall short in walking the walk when it might inconvenience our sense of humor and/or rightful desire for a pound of flesh from shitheels.
