Botany Boy & Rob

Is Rob’s use of racist language okay?

Rob's insults are pretty deep but Bot can take it, I think Bot enjoys the sparing back and forth. I've been here a lot and I find Robby starts it most of the time. The real racist is Dan!

This is not about whether or not Bot can take it. Of course he can. People take it their entire lives. This is about whether the use of racist language is ever okay in this situation. Apparently, you are fine with racial slurs based on your vote.

Please don’t bother with the I hear people use slurs on themselves or with others of their same race argument. It’s not gonna fly here. 🙉
 
You know, I live in country where significant percentage speak Russian as the first language. Well, frankly we ourselves are appropriated Russian non-normative lexicon, just because it somehow feels somewhat less rude to curse in another language sometimes. What I'm trying to say, I have had to deal with workers who form whole expanded sentences exclusively from different inflections of a word meaning "dick" for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns and whatever else. Is that okay? Perhaps not. Do I care? Not in the slightest.

Curse words are different than racial slurs.

I agree.

Rob was wrong to use racist epithets. From the content of his other posts, he may even be open to admitting that.

Bot is not likely to admit that it was wrong to post his weapons of choice for attacking a mosque immediately after the attack in New Zealand, that it was wrong to graphically depict people getting gunned down by an A-10 and imply that shooting migrants was part of "loving your country", and wrong to tell a sexually active woman on this forum that she is a "cow" and he hoped one of her lovers would beat her so badly that she would have to spend a month in an intensive care unit.

But, meanwhile, until these guys admit that overtly violent and racist statements are wrong, I for one will not be responding directly to their future "debate" posts, just as many of us don't for BB.

Yes, when used as simple expletives or even just parasitic soundbites. When the intent is to actually insult, I don't think there's that much difference. Of course, some insults are more inventive than others. It gets even more interesting if one or both don't fully comprehend the extent of meanings. Well, we can at least hope it's not the case here, although I must admit to be the ignorant party in this indeed.
 
I'm not particularly thrilled with it. I somewhat understand his reasons and motivations, but honestly it is like he is embracing the lowest common denominator by engaging in that verbiage. I also think it's unnecessary.

Yep. When you fall to the level of those you oppose and use the tactics that you so ardently and vocally seek to emilinate, you become that which you despise. We all fall and do it from time to time. But doing it on an ongoing consistent basis makes you no better then those who you are accusing of the same.


Comshaw
 
I see that more from his side (Aglao, dolf, adrina, comshaw & al) are telling Rob off for his use of racial slurs.

But you know why he still persists, despite that?

Because of posters like cowslinger, Dribble, Luk (deluxauto) or even rae here - who either join Rob, or pretend that his racial harassment does not exist.

I never once said racial slurs are OK. I don't use them! Being a bigot doesn't support any narrative. You should include Dan_000 in your quest.

Wrong again. I obviously missed something...but it doesnt matter. I am quite consistent on my views. If a person acts like a moron, such as you just did, I simply point it. But never once have I gone the route of race. If rob stoops to lower levels, that is on him. But fuck you for associating me there.
 
I don't like it, don't engage in it myself, and don't see why it's remotely necessary, since the people Rob goes after are a target-rich environment for all kinds of mockery.

Having said that, we're talking about people who for the most part get along just fine with busybody, so their claims to oppose any and all GB bigotry are not to be taken seriously.

If you are referring to me as well:

I get along with Busybody, but I've admonished him countless of times for his use of "N" slurs or posting of monkey pictures.

Whereas You never asked Rob to stop his slurs, but when one of your own starts a thread to do that, you pull the "but Busybody" card.

And fuck off for excusing and enabling Rob's racism, you disingenuous racist pos.
 
Rob recently posted "Nobody does cowardly like a Viet Nam era marine". I don't need to know anymore about him.
 
I think that most (conservative or liberal leaning) people equally dislike Rob's and Busybody's racial slurs.

And if one were to be fair, Both sides are just as guilty for turning a blind eye to their friends' or party's bad behaviors.
It's kind of awkward to come across to your friends as a constant nag or party pooper, especially since none of us is pure as snow.

It would be just great if we all agreed - from now on - to make racial slurs a no-no.
 
I don't agree with raciest slurs. Rob need to take into account that Bot Boy enjoys triggering him. Each time Rob loses his cool, it a win for Bot.
 
What are you wowing at, Hashy?

I know that your intention wasn't to excuse Rob (just to explain how you see his mind works), but it was phrased vaguely and it came across the wrong way.


In another line:
BotanyBoy is an anarchist - I find this trait to be endearing, others get pissed off.
And he triggers some people. We agree on that.
But being called "gook" non-stop isn't about Rob being impulsive or triggered - it's deliberate, well planned racism. Just like BB's.

Yes, I think that I jumped to an unfair conclusion because of one thread where you made the "maybe they just don't like you" comment.

Cowslinger and CarnalFlower are the ones who collude with Rob, and encourage his racial slurs.
 
I think it very clearly is even though I disagree with Bot saying that folks that do not speak out against Rob’s using racist language condone his behavior. My guess is very few is any do.

To be fair I've given Dolf credit for saying it's not ok.

You've hinted at it.

Most just sit and chum it up with him because the racism is pointed at the 'correct' people of color.

That's insulting.

For once we agree.

It's cringe worthy for sure but the hypocritical useless Bot gets so frothed up about it and it triggers his canned response of, "ooooh... Rob is soooooo progressive!" which actually means nothing, it cracks me up. There's just much more to bag on Bot about than his race.

That's not being frothed up, that's me having a good time.

And it does mean something, it's pointing out Robs hypocrisy. He claims to be a progressive lefty, social justice warrior for the (D)'z!!! So much progress for poor minorities and people of color that are so so so oppressed by the horrible Nazi run hell of whiteness known as the USA.

Until a person of color disagrees with his anti-American political views. Then he uses racial slurs and accuses them of being white nationalist.

Bot is not likely to admit that it was wrong to post his weapons of choice for attacking a mosque immediately after the attack in New Zealand, that it was wrong to graphically depict people getting gunned down by an A-10 and imply that shooting migrants was part of "loving your country", and wrong to tell a sexually active woman on this forum that she is a "cow" and he hoped one of her lovers would beat her so badly that she would have to spend a month in an intensive care unit.

I don't see anything wrong with wanting to defend my nation from hostile invaders or wishing the victims of sexist abusers rise up and give their abusers a taste of their own medicine.

But, meanwhile, until these guys admit that overtly violent and racist statements are wrong, I for one will not be responding directly to their future "debate" posts, just as many of us don't for BB.

Nah...keep chumming it up with your buddy, Racist down south.

But you know why he still persists, despite that?

Yup.....100%. Super progressive social justice warriors.....totally ok with Robs white nationalism and racism as long as it's pointed at POC with the wrong views/opinions.


If rob stoops to lower levels, that is on him. But fuck you for associating me there.

Silence is complicity.....social justice lefts own standards. :cool:

I don't agree with raciest slurs. Rob need to take into account that Bot Boy enjoys triggering him. Each time Rob loses his cool, it a win for Bot.

Silver Gurl gets me....she really gets me. :D
