Again, I'm not trying to defend these kids, but seeing things like

"This can't be a joke because I find it unfunny" or "They're too old to be making bad/stupid jokes" just makes me like what? No that's called immaturity.

Gonna conflate immaturity with bigotry? Cool. Understandable. You can't really have racism/bigotry without immaturity. So the reverse sounds true. I get it. I get it. But to say immaturity=bigotry/racism 100% of the time would be wrong.

Quite the hill you've chosen

Ah but destroying property and addictinf yourself to cigs for the laughs is totally a smart thing to do.


It was dumb and wrong, though we didn't really smoke cigs for laughs. My point is acting like an evil group of people never really crossed our minds. I was a teen around time of the Afghanistan/Iraq wars. Not once did I think to act like some member of the Taliban on camera. I don't see this as a "boys being boys" kind of thing. There's more to it than that.

I think it's all bunk to write off racist behavior as that is a tactic these racists use. "Write it all off as a joke, but get the ideas out there". They use the internet to recruit people. Some of us can see through the bullshit.


You think people in the park will see the nazi salute and decide to convert to nazism?


Younger children could see the gesture, not know what it means and go around mimicking it.

Other shitbirds can see it and think "if they can get away with it, so can I!"

Closet racists keep seeing instances of these things happening and become emboldened to come out of the woodwork.

Initial idiots get away with it and they'll keep doing this sort of shit.

I mean... you have literally been arguing this whole topic that people should be free from consequences to doing nazi salutes if under a certain not explicitly stated age, that certain stupid games should not result in stupid prizes. That take is a stupid game in and of itself.

"Kids being kids"
"Edgelord/Tryhard"
"They're really not that many of them"
"They're doing it to troll liberals/SJWs/Feminists/LGBTQIA+ community"

Why do people try so hard to obfuscate white supremacists

Probably cause the amount of actual white supremacists in this country wouldnt fill a high school cafeteria

These kids were kicked out of the park as I understand.

Go back and quote where I have said they shouldn't have been.
I am waiting.

Saying teens do moronic things =/= teens shouldn't face consequences for said moronic things.
But I am sure you knew that and strawmanned anyways.

Shock couldn't fathom how teens could find making handsigns is funny. That is what I explained.
I don't find spitting on people funnny.
Teens do.

As if you know what good faith is after lying about a user.

You aren't fooling anyone.

Fyi teenagers find alot of things funny that you as an adult would not.

Teenagers go to park and spit on the ride and giggle.
Is it funny to you?

They put ketchup packs under tires so people run over them and it squirts on people. Is that funny?

Some would even get a huge laugh out of stealing a prize from a booth and booking it.

You want to know why they find it funny? Teenager humor is mischief = hahahhaha


You're the only sensible person in this thread.
As a teen, friends and I definitely pulled up our shirts, shoved our eyes wide open, flashed gang signs, gave obnoxious double thumbs up, pretended like we're sleeping, etc. in ride photos.
They're literally doing a slightly more tonedeaf version of that.
It's crazy that some ride goers got off and started scouring all the photos on the screen, actually took the time to snap a photo of some dumb teenage joke, and posted it online to help get some clout for doing some bullshit vigilante fighting against the alt-right. Whoever took the photo should be in trouble for taking photos of the photos without paying for them -- and if it was the park employee they should ALSO be in trouble for publicly posting the photos without consent. An ex of mine had her tit fall out and the employee literally just blacked out the photo, took it off of sale, and that was it.

When I was a teenager I smoked, drank, did drugs, destroyed some property and other dumb hooliganism if I wanted to be "edgy", but I never acted like a nazi especially on camera.


while plenty of teens fight, steal as and cause general mischief, it only seems to be one group that consistently uses racism as a form of "humor".

There was a rather interesting twitter thread I posted a while back on how certain anti-race groups use humor to attract new recruits, but unfortunately, the powers that be here didnt take kindly to the topic

Yeah but if you stacked them on top of each other, used the kitchen area and got rid of all the furniture, they wouldn't be able to fill an exceptionally large high school cafeteria.
