Seriously, Auschwitz?

[Excidium]

Somebody needs to create a tumblr page where codexers can go cry about how words hurt their first worldian feelings

 

[Cassidy]

I think DU was simply testing his "Summon Zionist" spell, and looks like it worked.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

both are dumb

So's your chosen custom title "WEAVER OF GAY HOMOBASKETS". Why is it ok for you to make fun of homosexuals? Why is that "funny"?

so this was all just a cunning plan to get a free homobasket weaving demonstration was it

why won't you pay for a gay homobasket like everybody else? Why do you hate capitalism?

Again, why is this "joke" acceptable?

1. It's not presented on the front page of the forum; context
2. In combination with my "DONGS" avatar and "MASTURBATING AND WEEPING" location, I present an absurd/surreal persona instead of a shock value "LOL HOLOCAUST" one; a proper comparison would be if my avatar/location were normal and my custom title was "fag slayer"
3. I weave really fucking nice homobaskets
4. You're not getting one

 

[Father Walker]

Isn't it either all offensive, or none of it is offensive?

No.

 

[Esquilax]

Tastelessness aside, the real problem is that the joke just isn't funny. Forget whether it's tasteful/distasteful/whatever, it's lame because its got no value beyond the shock of "LOL HOLOCAUST" There's no depth to it - it's popamole humour, if you will. This isn't exactly George Carlin talking about rape here:



My point is, you can make a good joke about any subject, no matter how taboo it is, as long as you deliver it and structure it properly. But the Auschwitz thing is just shitty toilet humour for morons to laugh at. It's hack shit that even Dane Cook could come up with. It's fucking pathetic, Anne Frankely, I think we can do a lot better.

The name was changed and a global crisis was averted. Nothing to see here people. Go home.

 

[Excidium]

But the humor is that something so banal offends people this much

 

[Excidium]

Final score:

Jews 1 - 0 Freedom

You know, if I has relatives being waterboarded without trial in some hell hole on Fidel's doorstep, I'd still be pretty mad. Lucky them ragheads don't have that good PR, eh?

PS Joke's still not funny.

In before Andhaira Mother Russia starting a thread complaining the new name is extremely offensive to Arabs and Muslism.

I suggest allowing it to show up if that happens.

 

[Reject_666_6]

Everything is shit.

 

[racofer]

ITT we witness the effectiveness of Zionist brainwashing techniques among the general internet population. A marvelous sight, from a scientific point of view.

 

[Excidium]

A marvelous sight, from a scientific point of view.

I think it's more marvelous from a scientific point of view how DU lives with no spine

 

[Admiral jimbob]

anyone who thinks the holocaust was bad/happened/whatever is a zionist!!! I'm here all week folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiresome people. The weaver of gay homobaskets thinks you are childish. Think about that.

 

[evdk]

I think it's more marvelous from a scientific point of view how DU lives with no spine

Butthurt generated: Mission Accomplished.
Changing the title generates even more butthurt: Achievement Unlocked.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

See, this is why being an admin is worth it after all. A normal user gets butthurt about a donation drive, people laugh at him and poke him with sticks. DU gets butthurt about a donation drive, he names a subforum something offensive and forces a bunch of users to partake in his analpain.

Also, does anyone else finds it disturbing that changing the name to that of a place where terrible things happen in the present most likely won't generate as much discomfort as giving it the name of a place where terrible things happened decades ago

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Everyone knows about Holocaust, most have barely heard about Guantanamo Bay.

 

[Brayko]

As someone who hates Nazi's but really digs the old wehrmacht and many German officers.....I could care less! It's just funny how the people who are pro-Auschwitz forum are more retarded than the people who can do without it. I say keep the forum, but place the stupid posters in there and quarantine them. You could do all sorts of...crazy experiments.

[Curious_Tongue]

So explain why a "Race Traitor" tag is ok and acceptable, but naming a forum "Auschwitz" isn't.

What makes you think I thought Race Traitor was acceptable to begin with?

Have you asked MCA how he feels about drawing custom avatars for those with a Race Traitor tag who get the privilege of posting in a subforum named Auschwitz?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Isn't it either all offensive, or none of it is offensive?

No.

So, again, why is one offensive and the other one isn't?

1. It's not presented on the front page of the forum; context

So the line is drawn at "what's on the front page"... Where we've had the "Race Traitor" tag in a stickied news item for the last week. Openly touting that "if you donate, you'll get this".

2. In combination with my "DONGS" avatar and "MASTURBATING AND WEEPING" location, I present an absurd/surreal persona

IE: It's dumb. Which was your initial argument against the forum name.

instead of a shock value "LOL HOLOCAUST" one; a proper comparison would be if my avatar/location were normal and my custom title was "fag slayer"

Where's the shock value though? Who here is really "shocked"? You yourself said it was "just dumb", not shocking. Walker called it "just plain stupid".

So is it just dumb, like your stuff, or is it shocking? And if it's shocking, where are all the shocked people?

So explain why a "Race Traitor" tag is ok and acceptable, but naming a forum "Auschwitz" isn't.

What makes you think I thought Race Traitor was acceptable to begin with?

You complained about Auschwitz but not the Race Traitor tag.

Have you asked MCA how he feels about drawing custom avatars for those with a Race Traitor tag who get the privilege of posting in a subforum named Auschwitz?

Do I need to? His trolls have nothing to do with it. And I'm constantly surprised at the "we better not defend the developers!" attitude that a lot of people seem to have at the Codex. Have you asked him how he feels about all the "gay fag" jokes on the Codex?

Also, does anyone else finds it disturbing that changing the name to that of a place where terrible things happen in the present most likely won't generate as much discomfort as giving it the name of a place where terrible things happened decades ago

Disturbing? No. Hypocritical? Yes. No-one seems to be able to explain the difference.

 

[LundB]

It's a good thing he didn't change the name to a place where terrible things happen then.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

It's a shit idea, and DU will eventually be forced to see it like the button parade issue.

Unless he has drawn a line in the sand in defending shit ideas.

 

[kazgar]

Should merge it with prosper land.

 

[Occasionally Fatal]

Well now Race Traitors should be renamed to Terrorists to better fit the current paradigm.
