FUCKING APES
I just can't fathom the depths of depravity you two are taking your brains into, in order to try to defend this. It actually hurts me as a human being. At first I couldn't believe there was some sort of alt-right movement with the tiki torches and all that shit, now I'm not surprised at all. People are literally losing their minds, on "both sides". The normal person left in the middle is just being driven to madness. The end result is a total shit storm  |
As someone who is deep in the Left Libertarian corner of the Political Compass, and not some alt-right tiki torch bearer, I hold free speech and personal freedoms in high regard. While this is not necessarily a free speech issue, part of what comes with such values is an understanding of the importance of context and nuance, especially in a text-based medium where those concepts are notoriously hard to display or discern.
The fact that you can ignore this and pick apart a statement so easily, like a someone picking off all the mushrooms from his mushroom fettuccine, until all that is left is one word, is a bit concerning. That you can draw a conclusion and condemn someone in such a way, while ignoring everything presented to you, is alarming. You want to talk about depths of depravity, look no further than your unsupported argument.
If anyone here can identify which character Michael Clarke Duncan played in 2001's Planet of The Apes, without looking it up on imdb or skipping to the end credits, you are by definition a racist. Just ask Skinny.
