Is it because it does carry more weight in our current culture or because we're afraid the mods will become upset, which goes back to my first point?But is it, though? LIke I mentioned before, the US seems to be the only majority English-speaking nation that has a problem with it. I call my male friends cunts quite a bit. Has nothing to do with dehumanzing a female and I don't think of females or female anatomy when I call them that, nor is it the intended reference. It's just my way of saying "you fucking idiot!" Like the English & Aussies do.American women are also often digusted & offended by another word. Next thing you know we won't be able to say "moist" in public.there are so many issues with this post.1st off, its not just a US issue.2nd do you call your female friends the c-word alot also? i find it interesting that you write male friends instead.3rd, I know many woman who have been called c by men who were abusive toward them. it is a dehumanzing term.4th, i like how you just basically say to woman to suck it up about words and then compare the C word to moist
Context is everything. If you call an abused woman a stupid jerk while she's being abused, that is no better at all. But that isn't stopping people from saying stupid jerk.
"Yup racist"
"Yes siree that's racist"
"Wow racist comment there"
"That there is Racist"

Bee just lost state farm and auto trader as sponsors.
Autotrader declined to elaborate on its decision in a statement to HuffPost.
Insurance company State Farm shortly followed suit.
“We have asked TBS to suspend our advertising in the program and are reviewing any future placements,” the company told The Wrap. “We constantly review programs to ensure alignment to our programming guidelines and brand values.”

Ugh, that's a grim slippery slope, given the circumstances. This really has gotten stupid, and not because we're talking about it..... The last thing anyone needs is for America to dig deeper into that puritanical "morality" trap on cable television. I actually thought America was improving a bit on that front, and now this.
How far will advertisers go when it comes to comedians insulting public figures I wonder? (I mean outside of blatant racism obviously)

I also think it's total bullshit people calling out Ivanka for posting a picture on Instagram with her child because of the administration's immigration policies. Really people? come on she was posting a picture of herself and her child. it wasn't a political statement. it was a mom posting a pic. nothing more nothing less.
I have to wonder what is the right tact today. Should us opposed to Trump and his policies lower ourselves to his level to battle him? I get you want to fight a bully but maybe the tact should be less that he is an asshole and more of why he is an asshole. I feel we are losing touch with the issues by just name calling him and his administration all the time. As I said above Samantha Bee could have made a great point without calling Ivanka what she did. By calling her a name she made her point so much less compelling. We on the other side need to take a lesson from this."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

cincybearcat said:tbergs said:cincybearcat said:So since it appears people on AMT have lost their collective minds due to trump overload... let me run it down for you:
1) you can be upset/outraged whatever you want to call it about Rosanne and believe it was a racist tweet and...
2) still think Samantha Bee using the c-word on TBS in reference to another woman is horrible and....
3) think it was terrible when Rush and others attacked a young Chelsea Clinton in horrible ways and...
4) think that the US needs gun control.
I would have thought it was obvious but since everyone is deflecting maybe it wasn’t.
Much like Bee, Ivanka is an adult and her actions and choices are going to be criticized and may outrage people to the point of where they say some vulgar things which are in direct correlation to their action/inaction on certain issues."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Meatheads aren't looking at people taking the high road and learning anything by that. If anything... when someone turns their nose up and says wrestling in the mud is beneath them... the meatheads become more detached and more antagonistic.

I'm assuming this latest McDonald moment will solve itself. Smarter people will use their Jedi mind tricks and convince him to be reasonable.
He wants a 'fair' deal. But his idea of fair is the US as the gimp and other countries ties to a pommel horse with cue balls stuffed up their mouths.
We will all survive, but f**k he's getting annoying."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

It's never about the words. Words are just shapes on paper or screens or sounds in the air. It's all about the intent.
