Are you offended by this image?

[ButterflyBlood]

I saw someone elsewhere have a minor freakout about it.

[hunter]

1. Fuck you, Greg. White guys suck.

I should know because I is one.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Kindly repost in the HRC group

Thank you.

[Hortensis]

32. Sorry, Cows! But IMO he should take that extremist self-hate

attitude to the Bernie forum, where he'll find a lot more people who blame America, and with luck its white men particulary, for all the problems in the world. We liberals just aren't nearly as into that kind of thing.

If you won't have him either, maybe recommend him to the Men's Group on Gender and Orientation? Not sure what they talk about there, thus what kind of reception he'll get, but they can hug or kick as appropriate.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. "Greg" ripped off Amazon's logo for his mouth.

Either that or it is a sideways vagina.

Still, he better hope Jeff Bezos's lawyers dont come knockin'

[HassleCat]

2. I guess it's mocking

Some people feel some other people are too sensitive, too quick to play the victim, and too eager to blame white men. They think of themselves as "normal" and get excited when told they are responsible for social problems, etc. As long as they don't go after particular groups or individuals, I guess they should be able to vent.

[linuxman]

3. Lol, no.

[marble falls]

4. He's bragging about his white privilege? He kinda ticks me off.

[Nye Bevan]

5. I missed the part where he mentioned his race?

Or are you inferring his whiteness from the cartoon picture? Could he not conceivably be a light-skinned Hispanic?

[northernsouthern]

8. Well I am sure it is tow things...

...the picture and the fact that there is no trigger words. That basically implies a spoiled person that is not part of any minority status.

[linuxman]

7. Seems it wasn't mentioned at all in the text.

Besises, isn't the point to admit you have it? Does one gave to admit having it and also not like it?

[northernsouthern]

6. Yeah, the drawing sucks first of all.

...and secondly it is a bit of a stupid d@ck post. Good for this guy he is not a minority and being called the f-word does not remind him of the guy that was beaten and left dead on the bard-wire fence, the loss of so many to the aids epidemic...etc. Also I am pretty sure he has some very easy triggers, a person that posts this kind of "holier than though" post is often highly ignorant of other's suffering and you can get them to snap in a second.

[immoderate]

9. In Poland they tell American jokes. Example:

"How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb?"

Answer: "One!"

[mockmonkey]

10. Not offended at all

You can't always tell intent from the written word. After seeing other posts I guess people see what they want to see.

[libodem]

11. Gosh, Greg

Why would anyone want to just walk up and punch you in your white male privileged face?
Is it happening a lot lately?
Hmmmm?



I don't hate, Greg, but he seems a little paranoid and whiney. I do hate that a little.

[Nye Bevan]

13. Doesn't strike me as "whiney". It's not like he's complaining about "microaggressions",

or demanding that a "safe space" be set up for him.

[libodem]

18. But he has "triggers'

Like the 'trigger warnings' have been applied to him. Plus, his worry is violence being arbitrarily applied to himself.

It's just odd. How often is violence completely unprovoked? He seems to fear other males hurting him.

[Rex]

12. Meh

Human kinetics?

[bigwillq]

14. Not offended

Some folks are offended by just about everything.

[Dr. Strange]

23. What's that supposed to mean?

[Person 2713]

15. Dickhead post . Laugh off it off . Yeah who needs rights and laws just laugh it off

If it is not physical harm well then its ok
just laugh it off because a dickhead said so
Not

[Oneironaut]

17. This comes off as mocking.

I would have to see the absolute context, though, to be sure. Therefore, my opinion is neutral.

[surrealAmerican]

19. He has he writing skills of a teenager, with the drawing skills ...

... of an eight-year-old. How old is this blogger?

What's "humin-kin" anyway?

[ButterflyBlood]

21. Its a parody of "otherkin"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherkin

[Shandris]

20. Nope.

I call that a regular person. If you're the kind who finds that offensive...do be aware I find YOU amusing too.

[Nye Bevan]

22. Nope. I don't easily get offended (nt)

[Hortensis]

33. +1.

Need to spot people some right to be themselves, to exist.

[romanic]

24. No not really.

[Iggo]

25. Of course not.

I'm half-white, but I look 100% white, and I'm overwhelmingly grateful that I enjoy the number one privilege of being a cis, white, clean-cut, fifty-something American male: The Benefit Of The Doubt.

I know a bunch of white guys who would be offended by this. They all watch Fox News and listen to Rush Limbaugh. And to them I'd say Tough Fucking Shit.

[ileus]

26. No...but then again very little offends me.

It's comes from growing up in the 70s and 80s, not the 90's or 00's.

[MrScorpio]

27. No.

Although I'd like to know what the freakout is about.

[ButterflyBlood]

36. It mocks "non-binary gender" people, "otherkin", etc.

Nt

[MrScorpio]

37. I can't see that it's mocking at all...

Because, if we're going to identify some people as "non-binary gender" or "otherekin," just what are people who aren't "non-binary gender" or "otherkin" like?

[Warren DeMontague]

28. I am offended by the crappy, ms paint "art" job

Beyond that, its someone trying to be clever, but i suspect getting a "how dare you! Im offended!" Reaction is what they want.

It barely garners a yawn, from me.

[GliderGuider]

29. Nah. It's puerile, but not offensive. nt

[snappyturtle]

31. I wish Americans who are so easily offended by many things today would

toughen up....and grow up.

[Iggo]

35. Word.

[JI7]

34. need context

[Initech]

38. No, I am offended by this image though:

[uriel1972]

39. the image no...

The privileged attitude behind it yes.
