Is blobfish a Racist?

[IrezumiKiss]

Whatever you want to call it, you have the balls to fuck with anybody. Irezumi is a coward. He only attacks me and the other low-hanging fruits.

A coward?

Fucking with anybody means you have balls?

Is that what impresses you?

Fuck you and your entitled white male man-child bro-dude internet-only bullshit. You and everyone like you, just fuck you.

Seriously? Look at post 140. I doubt your son responds like that. This guy is full of shit, and having fun at the same time.

Yes, my son responds like that. He likes to annoy people. He thinks it's funny. It took me until he was seven to even get him evaluated because before that he would fuck with all the people asking him questions and make up "funny" answers to it and not understand how it affected his education or life.

I still have to be in the room with him to get him to listen to other people and make sure he understands the terms being used, because he'll just smile and nod and pretend he gets it, and then move on to annoying the next person because he can.

He's the guys in Crazy People. "Who wants to be an ad executive" *hands go up* "Who wants to be a fire engine?" *hands go up higher*

It looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. I'm calling duck. He may not think he's a duck, but he could learn a lot from learning what Aspie's act like and why. Or maybe he can't. It could help the people around him learn how to cope with him without treating him like human trash.

I'm not saying the guys in the right, I don't know the full story.
But this thread has been just being rude to the guy and then saying that the moral highground of lack of racism means its fine to just yell said rude things...

So then shut the fuck up about something you know nothing about, asshole.

You think you're just going to waltz in here and save the day or something?

Piss off.

Oh man. I have that book but I packed it and I can't run and find it. South American guy...TOLTEC.

Four Agreements:

The Four Agreements are:

1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Good book. Good words.

Best post of this incredibly irritating thread. Thanks for this, Reci.

The thing is, I take it as well as I give it. It has nothing to do with not "taking hits". I've taken more hits on this forum than you ever will.

Those blobfish jockey photos that koala posts when he wants to try to belittle you hit hard, don't they?

Best post of this incredibly irritating thread. Thanks for this, Reci.

You're welcome. It's a great book. Even though I packed it. Now I know I gotta get it on Kindle and reread.

May I also suggest Charlotte Joko Beck, her story of the rowboat:

"Suppose we are out on a lake and it’s a bit foggy–not too foggy, but a bit foggy–and we’re rowing along in our little boat having a good time. And then, all of a sudden, coming out of the fog, there’s this other rowboat and it’s heading right at us. And…crash! Well, for a second we’re really angry–what is that fool doing? I just painted my boat! And here he comes–crash!–right into it. And then suddenly we notice that the rowboat is empty. What happens to our anger? Well, the anger collapses…I’ll just have to paint my boat again, that’s all. But if that rowboat that hit ours had another person in it, how would we react? You know what would happen! Now our encounters with life, with other people, with events, are like being bumped by an empty rowboat. But we don’t experience it that way. We experience it as though there are people in that other rowboat and we’re really getting clobbered by them."

It's just as important to realize that blobfish is an empty rowboat as well and there's room for words and disagreement, but going crazy and becoming hateful serves no purpose except to add to the general aura of confusion and lack of clarity.

My son is infuriating, but deserving of love and respect. Blobfish may or may not be Asperger's, but if he is and even if he isn't, he deserves love and respect. No, it's not our job to do it, but I'm not trying to further his dysfunction, I'm trying to give him tools to limit it if they help him to do so.

You have a set of experiences that I can't relate to, and I defer to you in that regard. You have your reasons to give the Blob a pass. I detect something else. In the end, other things are more important anyway.

 

[Quoll]

Thank you. I did know they were there, I read them.

Sorry, I was replying to the OP, having now read the thread I'm inclined to agree with your son re: fart jokes, he may just need to refine his technique.

Okay. I'm just trying to clarify why I don't think I'm just giving him a platform. I'm trying to point out the abuse of the platform.

Yes. I'm aware I can't make a difference in someone who doesn't choose that difference, but at least if I do my best to describe it and offer alternatives, I have some illusion of trying to help and less despair about hopelessness.

The only real way to make a difference is to try to set an example. If I counsel patience and sensitivity as a possible solution, I'd better damned well try to live up to it. Although I have seen lack of patience and insensitivity get results, I don't like those results most often and they only mask a problem, rarely resolves it.

Yes, well, you try going to a parent teacher conference where the teacher says that when she tries to talk to him about his homework, he says he likes the smell of his own farts and demonstrates.

It's a bit counterproductive and he never learned the "funny once" rule. Despite my repeating it as often as he repeats the same knock knock joke in a day.

He's making progress, but I think it's through patience and perseverence and not hitting him on the head with things as some of my impulses would have me do.

I'm all for refinement of technique. And fewer knock knock jokes.

 

[semen4her]

I took it off ignore for a fucking coddling?

Don't forget to tell him to look both ways before crossing the street.

I was thinking of a clever and cogent reply, but then I thought of my five year old who has a penchant for smelling armpits and feet and then an image of Jim Carey doing his bottom talk bit from Ace Ventura (who I can't stand as a comedian) popped into my mind and well, yeah good luck with that.

I wish you luck I went thru same thing with my daughter when she was younger not as bad but it's very stressful.

*laughs* Thanks.

I also think of Blobfish as the kid in "Parenthood" who puts a bucket on his head and runs into trees, and Mary Steenburgen saying "He likes to...butt things...with his head." At least someone got the kid a bucket.

So be it. Your heart is in the right place. I think the fish is having the time of his life taking the piss out of everybody, and if you look at some of his turns of phrase you might see why I think so. And as I've said elsewhere, he's boring my tits off.

Fair enough and I wouldn't dissuade you from that. I do see why. With the limited amount of energy I spend on the subject, I probably can't do anything differently considering my instincts and habits. You gotta do what you gotta do and tits should be preserved.

 

[Recidiva]

I've admitted to this.

You've actually been very sweet to me personally. I don't really want to repay that with disdain if I can help it.

Yeah, I call you on your crap, but I think if you're not being good hearted now, you have the potential to do so.

When I like someone, I am usually very nice to them. In fact, I've defended plenty of people I don't care for (including Irezumi) when people were being dicks to them for no reason.

You've been a lot of fun and I think you're worth talking to and messing around with. You've listened to my preferences and tried to accomodate me. I appreciate it.

Enjoy it, because no one else gets that sort of treatment from me.

It might not be so bad if for the fact that there comes a time when you've heard the entire book of excuses for the nth time and then you go, "fuck this." This same song and dance routine. Gets old as you grow old.

I run into people like him in the real world who act exactly like this, this entitled young guy bullshit and I see the effects they leave behind in their path to This Day's Nothingness. No craft, no evolution, no growth, just a wanton disregard for any and everything but their own busted nut.

Moreover, it's the fucking glibness. The glibness in the face of other people's racist bullshit and this attitude that I'm fucking with your throwaway "entertainment" because I'm not putting up with both casual and direct bullshit that disparages me and mine every day? Like I just fucking pissed on your parade? Oh fuck that noise.

It's so fucking draining. I can't coddle or enable that mindset. I'm not that young and I'm not that color that gets the pass on it. Thank you for being more or better than I am on this issue. Because my inner Buddha has dried up on this shit and I am not refilling that card.

I can say this, though...back in the day before the internet became a safety net for people wanting to rediscover their childhood asshole, back in the day when people had to talk to each other face to face, when you talked shit, especially talking shit for the sake of talking shit, you got your ass beat. And when that happened, you learned. Fast.

Still, thank you for those Four Agreements. Posts like that got substance and is good to eat.

Anyone that doesn't blackball the people you define as racist is a "shitstain". You are a self-righteous coward.
