Pewdiepie - Here we go again (More controversy over a word)

[ThatsOurEric]

Precisely my point. He didn't make a decision and People don't sit and consider every word that comes out of their mouths unless there's an obvious reason to do so, nor should they. The comment was flippant and not-considered, and that's why people need to pull their pants up and stop being such a bunch of tone-deaf virtue-signallers.

Except that again, even in the heat of "anger" and what not, most sensible adults do not use racial slurs.

So your point doesn't hold water.

[ravenswood]

what the fuck
Also the west is the least racist culture in the world. There are no "oppressed minorities" here.

Christ there are some stupid posts on this forum, how would you even begin to justify that no minorities oppressed in the entire West? Do you even know what the West is?

[Birujinia]

Well that proves all Black people don't use the word. I fail to see the point you are trying to make.

Well better go tell all those Black people to go back to school and read some books as well then, since I hear it almost as every second word in popular black media

When you use the word 'all' (an adjective) I assumed you meant the entire black race should go back to school and read books because we don't know what the n-word mean. I also assume you think all black people use the word because it is in "popular black media" (I have not idea what this means).

Western countries oppressing minorities would mean that law does not punish said oppression in individual cases (like in certain countries where minorities are actually oppressed), but it does.

Well that's definitely not what it means, you don't get to alter the definition of words to make your point. And even if that WAS the definition (which again, it isn't) one would only need to look at the Philando Castile case, and numerous other cases of police oppression of minorities, to see that you're wrong.

Oh no, you did it.

Here comes the FBI statistics! Oh, and the Philando Castile had weed argument.

You're not going to get a single individual thought. Just a lot of copy/paste.

Yes by all those black people I meant all black people. Are you kidding?

You are overestimating the amount of sensible people obviously.

Okay. So where did you fail to get my point.

He said <What a fucking nigger> wich is clearly directed at the person as an insult so, What else is needed to be said hes an idiot

Your point is bringing up something that's common sense. It's a bit redundant I thought.

[Birujinia]

Then why did you say all black people if its common sense?

Edit: Just because you hear it in "popular black media" doesn't mean all black people say it. Thus my first reply to you.

Then there should clearly be an issue where this happens. But outside of one salty Overwatch player
and Pewdiepie, there doesn't seem to be a trend of professional players (or even most standard online
players) throwing racial slurs left and right when they're getting pissed.

How do you know that? Do you watch every gamer stream?

[Jtbrig7390]

Are you saying that they will be mature and discuss it with you or are you saying something else?
If you're saying something else you're not helping as much as you think.
Like if you're suggesting that they would be physically injured or killed for hurting someone's feelings with words.
You're not helping as much as you think.

I'm saying if you don't think words have meaning and power behind them then you are a idiot. That's why people get offended when you call a black guy a nigger or a gay guy a fag.

It isn't just words. Anyone who sits there and say's (Its just words bra) needs to go use that word to the right person and see how well it works out for them.

Hell war's have been started over (Just Words)..

Yet no wars were started because a youtube cursed on stream.

[Radeghost]

Whatever. Saying nigger is no worse than saying cracker.

[Radeghost]

Amazing the lengths assholes will go to defend nazis.

TIL saying "nigger" is reserved for national socialists

"He said <What a fucking nigger> wich is clearly directed at the person as an insult so, What else is needed to be said hes an idiot"

perhaps. and i´m not defending him or anything but he said it to a white person (his friend) plus it was in a heat of a moment so yeah, don´t take it so seriously tbh.

fucking lame "discussion".

[nocturnus]

Poor guy. All these offended little bitches focusing on human imperfection rather than just enjoying his streams. So he said 'nigger' in the heat of battle, who fucking cares?

Today's society is literally retarded.

You know he made an apology video saying he had no excuse for using the n-word. Why are you two crusading for him and making excuses?
