Tainted doesn't mean ruined.

it kinda does

it should be obvious, but since you people tend to treat google definitions as gospel truth: "ruined" is listed as a synonym for "tainted"

so choose another word if that's not what you mean

I couldn't give a shit either but trying to deny that this won't always be a smudge on his record that is remembered by many (his cancer tweet is literally one of the first Google autocomplete suggestions)

because it's basically a meme, it's not something anyone takes seriously unless they're babies

he also just died so yeah a lot of people are gonna go headlong for the lowest hanging fruit

"HE TOLD SOMEONE TO DIE AND THEN HE DIED!!!!!! xDDDD" (this is what you're defending, maybe take a step back)

Nothing at all

looks really silly

Sure thing, but there's different levels of shittiness. We've all insulted people and said offensive stuff but "get cancer and die", "die you fucking piece of shit, die alone", "get cancer enjoy your third-world hellhole, eat a dick", "fucking kill yourself" - all unironic, in total seriousness and because of people talking about him online? Gonna go out on a limb here and say that these comments are shittier and well beyond what most people tend to say.

Anyways, I never watched this guy's videos and have no feelings towards him either way. His death is a shame and I'm not at all interested in dragging him through the mud or anything, but the stuff he's said unfortunately does taint his memory.

again, i just don't know if any of that really matters

you can say there's varying degrees of shitty words you can say, and i don't disagree with you, but it's still all just words at the end of the day, words that he said in his youth, and the only lasting effect those words resulted in were a bunch of people endlessly trolling him about it to his dying day

you know, in spite of having apologized and matured since then (not that anyone should give a fuck)

maybe if he was a criminal and actually did tangibly bad stuff, i'd find myself agreeing with you more

remember when you learned that john lennon used to beat the shit out of women? he's still ranked as one of the top 10 "greatest britons" to have EVER lived according to the BBC, though

That's the nastiest looking pornstar of all time

You’d still let her fuck you senseless

silicone is the ultimate deal breaker

It’s not like you’re gonna make her your GF.

not the issue i just don't find that shit arousing at all

there are pornstars i'd gladly fuck, but i don't want to fuck every pornstar

It's pretty poetic how he told someone to "get cancer and die" and then proceeded to get cancer and die.

haha epic, did you know that you're the first person ever to point this out?

I am on this board.

even then, to say that he "proceeded to" get cancer and die would be ignoring the fact that he made that comment seven years ago

you've probably said worse shit in the past two weeks, let alone the better part of a decade

dig hard enough and you'll find that literally everyone has said some shit they've regretted in the past, so there's really nothing poetic or ironic about it

>we all need to be nice to each other

Society is already like this. Like I said, there's no point to this thread or your posts. You and OP are just jacking each other off at how progressive you think you are. Of course you can still be racist. You can also still be a murderer and a rapist. These things aren't going to go away for a long time. It's human nature, that doesn't change overnight because you want it to. That's why this thread is pointless. There's nobody here who even disagrees with the OP.

society is like this in a lot of ways, but there are obviously still areas that need to be improved

barring killing anyone who maliciously misgenders people, which i wouldn't personally mind, there still needs to be a cultural shift where misgendering people is collectively frowned upon and openly discouraged

we don't live in that world yet, and that's the problem

it has absolutely nothing to do with being nice, because fuck being nice, and no one is trying to change human nature overnight so i have no idea why you even thought to say that

i'm saying you should scrub the entire table rather than be content with a few spots left, that was the point of that analogy

looks okay but no battle royale mode is a bit of a deal breaker

how can you not see that saying "WOW THAT'S SO DISGUSTING THAT YOU COMPARED SLAVERY TO SJWs" is a fucking bitchmade bullshit way to argue

it has to be some kind of logical fallacy, it almost feels like an emotional appeal because you're allowing your personal outrage and disgust over the comparison to cloud the actual argument being made:

that it doesn't matter how bad it gets, you don't get to say "nigger" without social consequences and there should be equal consequences for not respecting someone's gender identity

you can talk all you want about how "nigger" is worse and all that, but the ultimate point being made is that they're extremely fucking rude and cunty things to do and say to someone, and that's what the subject is

that's the only thing being argued here and you're trying to derail it into something else and it's just retarded

There are social consequences for for misgendering trans people in places and social circles where trans people are accepted. I'm not sure what the point of this thread is at all. To me, there's no point. It's as if everybody needs to accept trans people. Ok, great. And the day after that we'll end world hunger and never fight another war. Do you not see how naive this is?

no more naive than the people in the whatever time period who believed we'd eventually live in a time where all racial, sexual, etc. discrimination will collectively be frowned upon in the future

intelligent people already realize that you cannot quash all bigotry, so we go for the next best thing, which is coming to a point in social progression where racism is collectively and severely frowned upon

and it IS, it IS severely frowned upon to be a racist in this country

you can still BE one, and there are still millions of unapologetic racists out there, but the point is that society doesn't view that as "okay," and therefore, the non-racists have more or less "won" the culture war in the best and most feasible way possible without resorting to violence

now, we're more or less trying to clean up the rest, because we still haven't quite reached a point in america where everyone collectively frowns upon transphobia

it's the equivalent of scrubbing the table of social norms and having your boss come in and say "hey, you missed a spot"

sure, you could just leave the spot there, but that's not doing your job

sure, there are trillions of bacteria that will remain in spite of all the scrubbing, but you still have to do your job, you still have to keep scrubbing because someone's gonna eat there and it's better to get the job done rather than letting the scum fester

It's not about that. It's about how them behaving as if me calling OP a he is equivalent to calling a black person a nigger. It's fucked up (I guess) but it's not anywhere near as bad. You're not dehumanizing a trans person by "misgendering". They're still a person, you're not calling them a subhuman. There's a huge difference, even if it can be malicious.

so it's perfectly fine to just to disrespect people as long as you recognize them as a human being at the end of the day

if it's NOT then why even fiddle around with this bullshit, who cares what's more "fucked up"

how can you not see that saying "WOW THAT'S SO DISGUSTING THAT YOU COMPARED SLAVERY TO SJWs" is a fucking bitchmade bullshit way to argue

it has to be some kind of logical fallacy, it almost feels like an emotional appeal because you're allowing your personal outrage and disgust over the comparison to cloud the actual argument being made:

that's the only thing being argued here and you're trying to derail it into something else and it's just retarded

you shouldn't even have to really point out that you're not trivializing anyone's strife

had you left that tidbit out of your post, you'd be able to keep your bigotry and ignorance a little less transparent, because we all kind of understand where we're all coming from here

it's when you say stuff like that which makes me think thou doth protest too much and that you're just trying to save face by being less than 100% honest about how you really feel about all of this

"not to downplay your strife" is just sleight of hand, it's a sneaky and facile way to get the opposition on their good side, despite the fact that you couldn't actually be fucked about trans issues and don't even recognize them AT ALL, let alone take them seriously

it's either that or you're just lazy and not very good at this whole thing but we both knew that already

am i predictable or are your talking points just that easy to dismiss

you're right though i should try mixing it up by being wrong sometimes

Yeah I don’t really know what to think of this. I wish Kendrick would at least issue an apology for putting her in this situation.

that's literally all he has to do, too, but he hasn't said shit afaik

what is the appropriate number of holocausts that a group of people must endure before you're allowed to treat them with any dignity or respect as human beings without coming across as an SJW or something

two? three? just one? or is it case by case

how many trans people need to be killed in order for society to collectively take issue with it

what's the minimum number for it to be considered "the same" and therefore worthy of outrage
