Putin in Russia (II): Spicy Island Liberation Front

[Andalusian girls]

as i recall they were fond of committing war crimes against German prisoners in both World Wars, O Canada

[Cyn]

Canada lowkey has one of the more impressive military records for a minor nation out there

they never fight on their own but when England or the US need to kill some foreigners few do it as enthusiastically as the Canucks

Hey, anything that gets them out of Canada for a while, amirite?

[Gredival]

Good question, for once.

I've said repeatedly that I do not think retard is a slur, and furthermore that I personally do not even enforce auto-timeouts for using slurs (I use context to interpret whether or not someone should get a temp ban)

However if you get dorito'd another mod may not be as lax as I am.

Oh, I know you guys aren't on the same page. I was saying you should be.

[Forte]

There are plenty of things that "should be". We don't live in that world.

That ship sailed when Isla thought that people using the word pussy to describe a dog was misogynistic

RT has suspended one of their top presenters for saying that Ukrainian children should be drowned or burned.

Anton Krasovsky was responding to science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko, who said that in western Ukraine back in 1980 he had heard children saying "Ukraine is occupied by Muscovites".

In the interview Krasovsky smirked as he said "just drown those children, drown them". Alternatively, he said, they could be shoved into huts and burned.

He also joked about Russian soldiers raping Ukrainian grandmothers.

RT's editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, condemned Krasovsky's comments as "wild and disgusting".

Russia's Investigative Committee, which handles serious crimes, is now investigating Krasovsky's comments, though it is not yet clear what Russian law, if any, he may have violated.

On Monday Krasovsky apologised, saying "well, it happens: you're on air, you get carried away, and you can't stop". He said he was "really embarrassed".

For the past two years Krasovsky has been director of Russian-language broadcasting on RT.

She's actually not wrong tho. Just a matter of how much misogyny is acceptable.

They should come back.

Bitches better recognize—the difference between a misogynist and colloquialisms.

Colloquialisms aren't immune to being sexist, racist, etc.

Of course not. Most people don't tend to think about the intolerant basis of their everyday phrases. Not condoning it, but it's a silly hang-up. It's a byproduct of thought itself. Clear up the thought and the language can follow or become obscure. Let the sensitive fucks on Twitter obsess over the "ahctually..." preaching.

[Demosthenes]

Maybe it is a silly hang-up, but it is what it it is, and everyone has a threshold couched exclusively in their life experiences. It's a slider, and some people are clearly willing to put up with this much of a "bad" thing because it is of no consequence to them. They assume it is of no consequence to most other people as well. Inconsequential shit isn't always inconsequential.

[NynJa]

so if "pussy" is misogynic, then "dick" is misandrist, right?

or does this fall under the "you cant be -ist against the class in power" umbrella?

[Rhyis.]

You could spend your entire life attempting to pussy foot around every potential trigger word for people.

[Rhyis.]

See what I did there.
