Whats with you guys and basements on this board? Reddit works on cellphones you know 😅 I am not defending the posts but the image of a guy posting stuff you do not like on the internet is always some fat obese guy sitting in a basement unemployed is rather simplistic and I hear it time and time again on this forum. I think the sad reality is many of these people may be around us at school, work or even in our family because most people separate real life and internet behaviour. You likely would never suspect these people of being that way. I am just saying this because I think this whole basement dweller narrative on here is rather simplistic for what the internet is in 2018. Like I know some people on here think I am a troll and the only time I go to my basement is to do the laundry lol Edited July 20, 2018 by Lordmandeep 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the date, there is nothing new exposed or revealed that people didn't already well knew. In this post Weinstein and co. october 2017 to think that obvious joke (yet to see anything that is not obviously a joke) could end the career of someone with billions at the box office..... Do people think that people making pedophile joke are pedophile ? Or rape joke, rapist ? Those are really common jokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not taking it for granted, sorry. Common jokes or not, they are disgusting. I mean, Gunn probably agrees, because he had the time to delete more than 10.000 tweets. Anyway, it seems he deleted this: Edited July 20, 2018 by Blaze Heatnix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While his jokes are not funny and I understand they could be deemed offensive, I think it's telling that it's only certain categories of jokes that people get offended by. Apparently, it's ok to make jokes about homeless people, child labour, death etc, but god forbid you make a joke about rape. I may not like these jokes, but I will never accept the public hanging of the people who make them. Especially when the jury is comprised by idiots like StevenG that will condemn someone, not because of the joke, but because they made a movie for a franchise they do not like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its about triggering people... Like in game of thrones burning a child alive for a sacrifice to a god is okay to show, but showing off screen martial sexual assault got a huge push back. I think the issue is that people find such things triggering while the number of people who know someone burned alive in front of their eyes is rather small.

IronJimbo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 “It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what." -Stephen Fry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter is meant to be read the day of the tweet (the joke is often actually dependent) and by the people that followed you and the previous message before. If you become famous and people read single tweet from the past it will usually look quite strange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
