Is blobfish a Racist?

[Super-Surprise]

Does he know I'm not a white girl?

Should that excuse his racist remarks?

Post your tits!

Most people like KRC. That's fine by me, because I think she's funny sometimes. But most of the people that are bitching about me are friends with her.

You can't have it both ways, really. Lots of people don't respond to her because they have her on ignore and can't see her crap. People talking to her are probably more likely to like her, but they don't represent the entire population of the board.

Since there's no way for people here to actually get someone to stop saying what they don't want to hear and consider ignorant, they put them on ignore. This applies to her, you, me, everyone here.

The general response to racism and assholery here is ignore, not confrontation. If it's confrontation there's usually a small window where people establish whether or not you're joking or serious. You appear serious that this is your mission, you want to desensitize the world. Okay, deal with it. Stop being surprised when you piss people off and demand that they realize you're just joking. It's not funny to them and it's not your call if it should be.

There's still some hope in talking to you, though slight, that you might change your tactics. There's just about zero percent chance that KRC will.

I'm certain that I never asked that.

Look back through your comments and thread titles, asking if people really exist, asking if things are really true, asking if something's real, asking if your opinion isn't just the smartest thing ever and other people are dumb and don't "get" you and then get back to me on that.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Ok, I can't argue with that. Go ahead.
Reading your posts, your actually the one person here that I am agreeing with to a degree.

Its the people using .gif animations and yelling half-arsed puns that are making me teeth ache.

You know what makes my teeth ache? People who jump into the party all late and start acting judgmental or whatever when they don't know the full story.

Also people who are acting all that but don't know how to differentiate between "your" and "you're." That's like a fucking root canal right there.

 

[Recidiva]

The only time I've ever did that was with dolf, and that's because she ignored me for an idiotic reason.

*blink* Again...this is your argument? You're not sensitive except for when you are? Don't you think...other people are like that too and don't present a completely hard case to the world and would rather not have their buttons pushed the same way you don't like having yours pushed?

These guys used plenty of racial humor.

(The picture might not work – it's Cheech and Chong)

No, it looks like...a frog polar bear in an ice cube. *squints*

Please don't use other comedians' work as your basis of justification. You're not that funny.

[sarcasm] We shouldn't be talking about blobfish, and whether or not he's racist.

We should be talking about the people responding to him & calling him out.

Why are you assholes trying to point attention at him for being a racist? Why are you trying to change minds?

If anything, I respect people who choose to continue communicating with blobfish in the face of this finger-pointing.

All of you chiming in on blobfish are nothing but trolls. In fact, you're all probably more racist than he is. [/sarcasm]

(And there's a taste of my past 5 years at Lit.)

 

[Recidiva]

Reci is the voice of reason.

I like her.

You are awesome.

I'm sorry for the flood of posts, but I just got back from a trip between beginning of this thread and now and I'm catching up.

I type fast. I do like blob. I have hope for him.

 

[Recidiva]

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...

No, I agree with you. Heaping abuse on someone who I think is genuinely confused as to his good intentions and how they lead straight to hell doesn't help.

But that's the GB.

You are kind and respond to all of us dirtbags.

Blob? Not sure. He found a cozy spot on the iggy list very early on.

 

[Recidiva]

I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings, but they really should not be so easily offended by what some loser on the internet says.

Yes. This is the problem. You start out with good intentions and then throw them over the side for what...humor?

If you want to be a loser on the internet, keep it up. If you want to actually meet people and form relationships, this isn't how to do it.

I'm giving you credit for genuine curiosity and some sympathy from watching the blow-back from you putting your life theory into practice amid the attention of potentially hundreds of people. But if you do choose to refuse to learn, then I'll wave bye bye as you walk off the cliff wondering why people never pointed it out to you.

 

[RoryN]

Me Me Meeee!

...and yet nothing about my post being inaccurate.

Atta girl. You're learning.

 

[Recidiva]

Me too! I don't always agree with her, but she's always very cogent.

Thank you. I do like you too. I think you're smart and funny and if you can use your powers for good...or less smarmy evil...then I'd be happier for you. Not that me being happy for you is a goal in life, but it's the same advice I'd give my son, who has Asperger's syndrome and never understands why fart jokes aren't appropriate in all settings.

I'm starting to think you veer toward the Asperger's spectrum. Either that or you're really just a complete douchebag. You don't seem to appear to understand that society has rules and you wanting to shake things up won't result in what you state are your essential goals: World harmony.

Okay, cool. I understand you wanting to be voice of reasony and I appreciate it too.

 

[Recidiva]

She's the good stuff. We need more of the good stuff and less of the stupid stuff.

I'm afraid to clone me. She'll make me do the dishes while she plays games, I just know it.

 

[blobfish]

I'm not comparing myself to anyone. I was responding to your assertion that jokes are only funny if everyone laughs.

 

[Recidiva]

Blob? Not sure. He found a cozy spot on the iggy list very early on.

There ain't nobody here but us dirtbags.

I...genuinely, I think he has Asperger's and I got a soft spot right...here...no...here...well, it's a bruise actually...

 

[naughtycakes]

...and yet nothing about my post being inaccurate.

Atta girl. You're learning.

Except it's all subjective.

Has anybody told you about the four tenets... some new agie bullshit crap but it makes some sense. The one I find most applicable in your case is "Don't take anything personally."

You are that annoying guy at work who thinks everybody is plotting against him.

It's tiresome, dude.

Relax, you have other things to contribute besides paranoia and narcissistic, obsessive gotcha schtick.

People are in their own little worlds, obsessed with their own minutia and could probably give less than two shits about you or me or anybody else outside of their limited circles.

See, this is spot-on. Rory points out racism, and he's a troll. Others do it, and they're valiant crusaders.

 

[ThomasShort]

Thank you, I appreciate that reply. I'm now going to return to the world of being a tiny perve.

 

[Recidiva]

Comedians have audiences that pay to see them. Nobody is paying to see you here. You are not a comedian, you're a member of a forum.

Regardless of dissecting every joke in history for its funniness vs. insensitivity, the main takeaway point is that successful racist humor has to have a very particular balance of self deprecation and truth. I think "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" from Avenue Q is very clever. But you're not Avenue Q, or Cheech and Chong, and if you get booed off the stage repeatedly, you should learn why.

You're just stomping on hot buttons to see what noise people make when they get stomped on. There's no comparison.

I don't think I have autism, but I guess it's possible. Still, I would never use something like that to justify any of my posts. If I find that most of the people I actually like are offended by my "racist" remarks, I will stop using them.

Blah, blah, blah.

Once you have almost 200 threads with your name in the title on the GB alone, I'll listen.

See, this is spot-on. Rory points out racism, and he's a troll. Others do it, and they're valiant crusaders.

Thank you.
