Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

One can surmise this is a commonly-used phrase in his private conversations

I haven't heard someone defend the n-word with "it means someone who is ignorant" in a long time, but I'd peg this guy for that.

Wait, are you meaning to say that "I just mean it as a general term for ignorant motherfucker" was ANOTHER thing from The Boondocks that I had just assumed was a joke satirizing race relations, but was in actuality a 1:1 recreation of something that real people actually do?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah back in the aughts people literally said the n-word and claimed it was acceptable to say because it meant "ignorant".

I shared a room last year in rehab with someone who casually used the gamer word in the way you described. He was like...at least 50 years old.

So anyways I stole his beanie that he wore almost daily and wiped my asshole with it after I told him "stop using that word" and he refused.

I don't feel bad about my actions in the least.

I mean, the Boondocks is satire but Huey is also shown to believe in a lot of that critique against black culture.

This is a phrase I heard a lot growing up in the south.

Brought to you by the same people who gave us:

The f-slur just means a lame person. It has nothing to do with gay people! proceeds to call the next effeminate man he sees that word

The b-word isn't misogynistic. I use it as a gender-neutral insult! proceeds to casually refer to women with this term in conversation instead of just saying "women"

and let's not forget

The r-slur isn't ableist! That's just what I call everyone who pisses me off while gaming! makes this the first thing he says when he sees a person with an intellectual disability

Anyone who doesn't mind using these words in these so-called """"non-bigoted"""" contexts most likely will not mind using it to be bigoted.

Chris rock and the consequences.

says a word that sounds eerily similar to the gamer word specifically when talking about a black group of migrants

"Bro, I didn't mean it! I just forgot how to pronounce 'migrants' for that split moment!"

autocompleting like that is so messed up but atp i really shouldn't be surprised

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah it slipped out so effortlessly. You know this man always refers to anyone with dark skin like that.
