I have yet to be told why it's okay to have a double standard and say that "It isn't okay to make fun of gay people because it's an inborn trait, it's not something they can control", but then turn around and say "It's okay to make jokes about straight people, it's not like it's an inborn trait that they can't control".BlackPhoenix Wrote:atomicthumbs Wrote:her eis my finishing move. Here it comes... wait for it ....Please tell me how choosing to follow the Nazi regime is an inborn choice? Or are you saying that they should be allowed to use stereotypes about german people, so long as they're directing them at Nazis? If so, I'd like to point out that firstly, I seriously doubt anyone who plays on our servers has -ever- commited anything near the atrocities that Nazis committed towards the Polish Jews. Secondly, I -still- don't think that making a broad statement like "Yeah this Nazi is German so all German people (insert German stereotype here)" is okay. This is because you're not -just- directing it at that Nazi german. You are saying that "All German people (Stereotype again, I genuinely don't know one.)" because that one Nazi is an evil, cruel, awful person. That isn't okay.
are you saying that it would be wrong for a Polish Jew to make a joke about his or her captors using a German stereotype? are you? you are
If the point, in this case, were a Native American arrowhead resting where it fell during a hunt - lodged in a furrow in land controlled by the Iroquois Confederacy on Michigan's lower peninsula, where it would not be recovered and reused, you are doing the metaphorical equivalent of searching for it in the back seat crevices of an old Belgian's Škoda
(also please read and consider bubs' arguments, which are good; I am not sure you have done it)
