I personally dont think people should use a term thats almost exclusively used by the far-right to demonize people who have tattoos theyve arbitrarily deemed to be abnormal in style or placement

Personally, I identify the term moreso with D-Generation X than anything else

Most of the time I see it used, it's jokingly being used to refer to things like anime. I can't say I've ever really associated it with the far-right.

@DirkDiggles the alt-right frequently use it to refer to anything or any minority they dislike. It comes from a certain historical group they emulate who used it to refer to things like degenerate art (entartete Kunst)

DirkDiggles posted...

LOL far-right term.......

Yeah, definitely a term that has never been embraced by far-right groups at all.

Which doesn't make it a far right term, it just makes ot a term the far right also uses.

Used to apply to people and artwork, it absolutely has strong connotations of being a far-right term

This reminds.me of when Admiral had people after him for using a word similar sounding to a slur despite the word actually having completely different origins.

Sadly don't trust the mods enough to repeat the word >.>

Why does OP only seem to post to complain about other users? Have never seen them actually post anything funny or interesting...

No, it just has strong connotations of the far right using it. It's not their word, its not a far right term, and you coming out of nowhere to attack someone for using it without any of that negative context just makes you the dick. End of story.

A word having strong connotations of the far right using it would mean that it has strong connotations of it being a far right term...

If you honestly think he didnt purposely use it because of how similar it is then i have a bridge to sell you.

Goddamn that's a stretch

It's an everyday word in the English language. He wasn't saying anything offensive. OP deserved to get called out and blocked. All of these are facts.

Is there anything (other than perhaps the use of slurs in private) that you don't think has an association with the far-right, TC?

Sounds like he made a good call.

You seem to have an unhealthy investment in this board.

That's just my observation, though.

I just looked it up too. We cant use the term "Alien," "Parasite," "Vermin," or "Disease" as well.

Using it in regards to tattoos on an area is fair. He isn't required to like them. He wasn't calling anyone out or disrespecting anyone though, he literally just said he hates them.

Tattoos aren't degenerate though.

Lol I see Trumble is still mad months later that I called pewdiepie a racist and insinuating that I use slurs in private. Marked.

You dont have to like someones hand tattoos, but calling them degenerate is

Going to someone and saying their hand tattoos are degenerate is bad. Saying in general you find hand tattoos to be degenerate is fine.

Being an asshole without cause also isn't fine. You should get on that.

I bet you use the N word on the reg in private.

Mm nope, not a racist. Speak for yourself friend

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Which may be true. Still doesn't change the fact that there was nothing wrong or offensive with the word.

Now you are calling me racist.....
