Is BusyBody a Racist?

[Recidiva]

Well, from what I can tell friendships develop very quickly amongst females. It seems like women have doubleheaded dildos tucked into every storage and hiding spot feasible for convenient access.

Just an observation from a guy but that's been my experience.

I'll be on the lookout for those who jump straight to the doubleheaded dildo.

I didn't slam the door. I've offered before. If she accepts, we can start over. But there won't be any acceptance. There's more of an interest in keeping it all going as is.

No, you actually sort of did.

So... it's a PM deal right now...

You screwed the pooch here, obviously, so you'll have to make the move.

Sorry you don't see this...

But, trust me.

I didn't see this until it was quoted. If you feel this way then I'd be fine taking you off ignore. Basically I just didn't really see the point in arguing.

It's been years, I'm okay starting over.

Don't expect miracles and shit, you see how I am

Yes, but he only calls those of us with boobs "dear" while doing so.

Why is "dear" bad? Vetteman knows.

I keep waiting for him to call me "dear" and inform me that one day when I am grown I too will understand.

Now run along Reci dear and let the men worry these types of things.

This. ^^ It has been done to me numerous times.

Well, vette and several others are on ignore for the dear thing. Once a certain tone comes into play...

It's just crossing too many boundaries at once with an attitude that is skeevy enough to make me slam and lock the door.

He's selling, I'm not buying, I'm not answering if the door knocks again. *shiver*

If someone makes clear that they're condescending to me only because of my boob ownership, then I realize they're only talking to the boobs. Since the boobs don't talk back...that's my answer.

Not recent. Has always been there. He starts as a respectful gentleman, in a southern sort of yes ma'am tone. I met him first in my Visiting Hours thread.

But once I'd moved into political discussions, the yes ma'am was gone and was replaced with dear.

Both indicate an inability to stop addressing a female as a female and speak to them as if they were just a person.

The strategy is not directed toward men. But to Vette, you're a madonna or you're a whore. It's pretty obvious in its delivery. As a guy you likely don't pick up on it and just think he's being courtly and then prickly.

Of course he does. It's completely in character with his entire attitude to women.

Yes, he does. Same way that someone calling a black person boy knows what he's doing.

"What, he's male, he's a boy. It doesn't MEAN anything."

"What, she's a girl, and she's dear to me. It doesn't MEAN anything."

It's code and it's malicious not only in its delivery, but in its defense.

He's not scary. He's just icky. He's not going to have a good point in a conversation or say something funny enough to want to have to wade through vats of ick.

If you don't understand the social mindset and convention, watch "Mad Men" - any five minutes of it will do most likely.

Women must be condescended to and have things explained in small words and kept in their place, or they get uppity.

This. There have been many times I have posted in threads, and it is almost always just to speak my mind, (and yes, I have also spoken directly to Vette) only to be told I don't understand what is being discussed, I'm too young to understand, I don't know what I am saying, or he'll tell me I don't understand what the men in the thread at talking about, and make remark about my boobs with a stupid smiley after it.

Calling someone dear has nothing to do with "boobs." It's short for "dear one" a form of address I heard while growing up usually from older people addressing younger people. It stuck with me and I've never used it in any way except to extend it's most sincere meaning. There's no condescension intended whatsoever in my use of the phrase. I will apologize flat out right now to anyone who took it that way.

I think Reci's problem is she's got me stereotyped. Like when she said I used it in a southerly sort of way. I'm not from the South, I don't sound like I'm from the South either, and I don't pretend to be from any part of the South except for Southern California.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with you being older, from CA, or anything. It has to do with you trying to put Reci or myself in our place because you don't agree with what we say, so you verbally try to pat us on the head, call us dear, dismiss us, or tell us we don't understand the topic. Then you get angry when we come back with a retort, saying something sarcastic with another stupid smiley. And that makes it all okay.

Well, you and I may not have a great deal in common and there's no real use in going over 'oo insulted 'oo. If I give a public dissection of how I perceive you and you wish to prove that dissection to be wrong, I'm all for it, and I would extend that because if I'm willing to put you on a public pillory, I should be willing to cut you down if requested. Particularly since time has passed. I like to learn new things.

I can't really be bothered to go through and prove how I was right, so much as I'd be gratified if it mattered to you at all in any way and you'd prefer an olive branch. I'm cool with that.

Clear ground rules then...I don't like only being referred to as female, I don't like being told I'm really smart but my husband's a moron. Kay? It offends my delicate sensibilties or lack thereof.

Your rules of civil discourse? I'll do my best to abide by your preferences.

This is utter fucking bullshit.

Oh, Sean, you're on ignore too and probably shouldn't be. I click on your posts a lot anyway. Would you rather I continued to ignore you or just gave the bullshit of years ago the same heave ho?

Sometimes I think people are just on ignore for their own protection and I also ask people if they WANT to be on ignore and then I put them there. I think Matthew Craig got that way.

You and I just had stuff that's long past and completely irrelevant to now.

Sean, if on ignore, should continue to be on ignore.

There is nothing there.

He said interesting stuff like... six years ago. Then he f'ed over Mewfie, and he hasn't said anything of interest since then.

I... have nobody on ignore, except Busybody, so I do see Sean's occasional GB farts. However, if you put people on ignore because of not liking farts, then keep SeanH on the list.

 

[rosco rathbone]

I wonder if anyone can see, or has seen, that it takes more than just jumping around like a piece of frying bacon fat using the n-word supersized in bolded font in every post to be considered a racist. Oh, it takes a lot more.

It's the constant attacking and use of derogatory, direct or passive aggressive, on anything concerning black people (and people of color in general) in America and the diaspora as a whole.

It's the deliberate highlighting of everything negative about black people (and people of color in general) in the media, even when that negative aspect is a product of humanity's collective living in society in general instead of being culture or race specific.

It's the unapologetic showcasing of unflattering negative imagery of black people (and people of color in general) designed to invoke disgust, revulsion and antipathy.

It's the lazy repetition and meme vectoring of lies, falsehoods and rhetoric spread by countless faceless others of likewise ilk to undermine the dignity, respect and authority commanded by black people (and people of color in general) in America and the world.

It's the incessant disparaging of the achievements, accomplishments and progress of black people (and people of color in general) in America and the world through negative rhetoric, hyperbole and bombast.

It's the overuse of the tired, lazy fall-back also-ran excuse of all racist and sexist pricks worldwide: "I'M JUST A MIRROR OF YOU, REFLECTING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU THAT YOU'RE TOO SCARED TO SAY OUT LOUD!!!"

All the above, all of it is what this thread topic's shitstain has done, is doing and will continue to do.

Yes, that n-word is a good chunk of his stale pizza pie, but it's more than just a fucking n-word. It's always been about more than just a fucking n-word. This is his soul and how he chooses to express it. It's not and never has been an accident, satire or a goddamn performance piece.

Let him be what he wants to be. Let him say all he wants to say. But don't ever lie about what he is. A fucking piece of shit. He is a direct contributor of what makes things shitty in this world for other people. An entitled, enabled fucking asshole playing around on the internet when he knows in the real world he would get his wig seriously pushed back for the overwritten mouth checks his ass can never cash. Fuck him and his, forever.

and... scene.

That's a take.

Fair enough. Off ignore just 'cause. I think I actually could care less. I feel a vague, prickly affection for you and I'll just go with that.

 

[Recidiva]

He plays games and likes James Marsters. For now that's enough.

I have a very long ignore list. Occasionally I rethink them in the same arbitrary random way that got someone put there.

 

[Byron In Exile]

So, why are women attracted to men who put them down?

 

[Byron In Exile]

He plays games and likes James Marsters.

But he is one tenth as smart as James Marsters.

We know that, right?

 

[Byron In Exile]

So I don't play games.

It's because I used to write them.

They're not fun to play when you know how they work, plus all the hours of testing them...

 

[Recidiva]

So, why are women attracted to men who put them down?

Well, to be clear, I'm not attracted to Sean. But there was a fun time there when he'd get drunk on Friday nights and he'd pick a hot-button topic and we'd each argue opposite ends of it. Didn't really matter who got which side, it was just cage fighting.

That was actually fun.

 

[Recidiva]

But he is one tenth as smart as James Marsters.

We know that, right?

Sean is smart. Can't take that from him. He may not use his powers for good, but he's got powers.

 

[Recidiva]

So I don't play games.

It's because I used to write them.

They're not fun to play when you know how they work, plus all the hours of testing them...

I was in theater and saw how it all worked and still thought it was fun as hell.

Sex is also fun when you know how it works and the hours of testing you've put in...

 

[Sean]

Don't mind Byron, he's just butthurt.

 

[Wok]

So I don't play games.

It's because I used to write them.

They're not fun to play when you know how they work, plus all the hours of testing them...

I cannot imagine the time it takes to write a game.

 

[Sean]

I cannot imagine the time it takes to write a game.

I once coded the original Space Invaders, in hex, for the Commodore Pet. Took me a couple of weeks. 3D graphics and open ended worlds? Fuck!

 

[Recidiva]

I cannot imagine the time it takes to write a game.

Bioware takes a few years with a big team. I would love to give it a try. But I'd rather be story staff, not coding staff, as I can write, but I can't code. Not even Morse.

 

[Busybody]

I don't mind having a conversation with Vette, but just not a political one.

You are not only a RACIST

But a dangerous shill for our enemies
