| Topic | So if someone calls me the N word I should accept that? |
| Pogo_Marimo 09/12/17 5:12:35 PM #10: | No? If someone personally calls you the n-word you have every right to be upset. But that's not what happened with PDP. He didn't directly call anyone the "n-word", he just shouted it aloud like people do every other curse word when frustrated. He was not actually communicating it at him, it's an expression of exclamation for only himself to hear. I say all kinds of insult out loud to myself when I'm playing League, like "Look at this douchebag! What an asshole! Stupid c-word! Oh my god, I'm gay!". Often times, the worse the phrase the more cathartic the exclamation. But that's the point of the phrase--Catharthism in a moment of tension, not a communication of insult to another person. But he was on stream, which is obviously a problem. Sometimes what you say in private is not fit for the public. It was a stupid mistake, yes, but don't conflate it to a racial slur against a black person to their face. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...
