Nah it’s not. It’s related to ruddy, angry red skin tone due to bad eating, bad vibes and alcoholism. Nothing to do with skin pigment

Yes it is.

Let the kid make the same debate with any individual of any non caucasian skin tone starting with a direct reference to what their skin looks like if you are convinced. It's a white skin thing. We don't have the same burdens as other races in this area but it woulda been a 100% flawless takedown without opening on the guys appearance.

Classic thumped moments of me pointing something out, getting debated, then quoting myself in 2024 incoming to limited fanfare.

It’s not a race thing. That’s stupid

It’s due to a flushed face whether that’s down to anger at women and minorities, or eating crap scran and skulling pints.

I'd like you to prove this concensus with a few examples of when the term is not used towards a person with white skin, rather than tell me that i am wrong without backing it.

It is bad that Adam Levine had an affair on his wife or whatever she is. That reflects poorly on him and whatever the consequences for him WRT to his relationship are on him, zero sympathy.

However it is also bad that the women he had affairs with, and they seemed like common or garden affairs not abusive based on the little I know, are just dumping his cringey text messages from him online.

The gammon thing started with white people mocking other white people. Much like calling someone who blushes "beetroot red" refers only to white people. You could argue that non-white people should not use it, but there are other factors at play apart from the colour of skin, such as the class system, ones place in the hierarchy, power, punching up/down and so on.

Do I want to get into an internet argument today?

I didn't know who A.L. was until a few minutes ago.

In the Ryan Giggs case (footballer) the jury failed to reach a decision and a retrail has been ordered.
the judge in summing up, said Giggs wasn't on trail for having sex with many women while in a relationship, he was accused of bullying, controling and being violent to his partner.
the prosecution repeatedly brought up that Giggs was never monogamous and he just admitted it.

That Adam Levine has a bit of a ....demonic quality about him.

 

[therealjohnny]

I once saw Adam Levine and his band described in the press as "spiky-haired punks"

Nah I'm with you. He's worse than Kravitz when it comes to bland, off the shelf rockstar-ism, and the whole story is a good laugh, but these people are clearly building careers off it.

There are other factors, but at it's core, it's based on skin tone and on said about white people and until i see someone make a valid point that detaches it from skin tone, it is a skin tone term for one skin pigment group - which is not a road that we need to be walking.

Which is to say, it's a term based on a physical attribute - and the reason i posted it is because everyone (some people on twitter) were saying what a great takedown of piers morgan it was, and i was unpopularly pointing out that starting any great takedown withsomething as crappy as an attack on how someone looks physically is not the win they thought it is, even if it's a popular twitter thing.

Such a gammon thing to say

If you love Piers Morgan so much why don't you marry him?

Yeah the delineator is not wealth/privelidge any more - it's 'white people i don't like on twitter' at this point.
