the only hard R i will use to denigrate someone is fakeR when i am heckling madison for his blatant lies
It's honestly pretty simple. If there is a disabled person reading this thread, do you want them to feel bad about their disability as they read a bunch of jokes at the expense of disabled people? Hopefully you don't. So just keep the jokes specific to Nazism or Madison's situation in particular and you're good to go.
Taffy literally said using the hard R. I’m saying using the hard R and making a wheelchair joke isn’t remotely the same thing.
Yeah, that's what I said too -- a wheelchair joke is more akin to a racial stereotype. A racial stereotype is not remotely the same thing as the n-word, but it's still bad and we shouldn't do it.
How am I being obtuse when you literally wrote “the N-word”? I don’t think making a joke about him being in a wheelchair and dropping the hard R is the same thing. Also once someone makes a funny joke about it I’ll laugh up to now I haven’t laughed at one.
Because while one may be worse than the other, it's two sides of the same coin. And we should be better than laughing at anything of the sort - least of all when there's a million other things to pick on.
I disagree to a certain extent but it would be splitting hairs. He wasn’t born disabled he was apparently a dumbass and it resulted in him in a wheelchair. That’s not the same as someone who is born with a disability. So like a said splitting hairs but there is a difference.
I’d tend to see your point if you (like wes tegg )were saying making a joke related to their race is similar to the wheelchair joke but where you lose me is saying it’s the same as dropping a hard R. Making a joke about me being a drunk is not the same as dropping a hard R.
I was using an extreme to illustrate a principle. You wouldn't racially abuse someone who you didn't agree with politically (or for any other reason), why is disability fair game? If his disability was self inflicted, then rip on him for being a stupid twat, not for using a wheelchair.
I think it’s ok because he is a Nazi that was an idiot who landed himself in a wheelchair. He wasn’t born with a disability. Saying he won’t stand for X isn’t remotely the same as using a racist epithet. You attempted to use an extreme as a gotcha moment. I’ve seen people call Cadence Owens an Oreo and I have no issue with that. So to me it’s the same as this.
Thread was a lot more fun when people were calling him out for his shitty takes and making fun of him.
I'm not going to derail the thread anymore - but I will say in my last post on the matter: it was not a gotcha in any way. How he ended up in a wheelchair is irrelevant, as I said: no harm in abusing him for being an idiot who probably got what he deserved (and I'd probably agree), but the wheelchair jokes belong in the past. We have a difference in opinion, no drama.
he should call himself a welfare queen Bc he’s lived off uncle Sam’s tit And he will excitedly vote to strip protections away from others
My guess is he hope voters think he’s paralyzed due to service. So he plays that up. I’m sure many voters in district probably wouldn’t even research it enough
Yeah. If your ideology is based around your inherent genetic superiority, I feel your legs not working is fair game.
