‘Lord protect me from easily offended snowflake girls’

 

[Lili Marlene]

If equality is really where it’s at, what about all the words which men might find offensive?

Perhaps they don’t like being called a “hunk”, a “stud” or a “fine thing”. Maybe they don’t like being referred to as a “geezer”, a “git” or a “cad”. Or what about people suggesting that a man is “arrogant” or “cocky” because he is ambitious and wants to get ahead. Maybe thousands of men go home every evening feeling “undermined” by the words used to describe them.

hear hear! It's 2016 for chrissake.

Somehow I doubt we will see pictures splashed across the tabloids of a group of young men holding balloons with a variety of words they don’t like written across them.

It would be ludicrous wouldn’t it? And would make them seem weak and more than a bit pathetic. They would be a laughing stock. This is exactly what this campaign is doing for the women involved. Far from empowering them, it is showing them up to be over-sensitive, feeble and rather ridiculous.

OOOHHH

she was being sarcastic.

I'll never get a good dowry at this rate.

here's a good, looong, article on the whole sad affair- basically equating it with a form of socially conditioned censorship: LRB · David Bromwich · What are we allowed to say?

S.E. Hinton got in argument with some twitter folk last night on whether or not her characters are gay. She did one pretty poorly worded tweet (how is that a thing) that made her seem like a big anti gay monster but she mainly said the characters weren't written as gay, interpret as you see fit but back it up with the text. Grand.

Saw one response from some eejit going "you're a YA writer, you should be writing characters to make your audience and readers feel safe".

One of the worst sentences I have ever read.

Political correctness lads, it's gone too far.

It's a surname that has lead to some awkward conversations with african americans and me in the past :/

 

[nooleen]

you should change your surname

 

[therealjohnny]

What's wrong with Marlene? Is it because it's German and everything German is Nazi?

God you people make me sick

 

[therealjohnny]

Oh...right.

I was waiting for the bit where she got destroyed

10 minutes of my fucking life. And for what? Jesus, the world needs a zombie apocalypse. But here's the plot twist, maybe this is the zombie apocalypse. And the zombies are fuckwits. And instead of brains they feast on self importance. And instead of murmuring hmmmmmmmmmrrrrppphhh they're tweeting instead.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I'm triggered as fuck by this

‘I will always be Irish, but now where I roam has become my new home’

Generation emigration cunts. Fuck off to London for 8 months and you'd swear he had put in two decades of living abroad. He's probably back every second weekend.

Tell us about the video - what inspired you to make it?

I'm an attention seeking cunt.

 

[nooleen]

does any other country go on about jaysus emigration anywhere near as much as ireland?
