Why most people is oversensitive with the "N_gger" word?
51 replies, posted
Today I read this specific article in Kotaku about Pewdiepie:
[url]https://kotaku.com/im-an-idiot-pewdiepie-apologizes-for-saying-n-word-on-1803776852[/url]
So, because I am not the kind of guy I write wall of texts to make a point, I want to say I find obscure the hate for Pewdiepie just for saying the N word.
Other Youtubers spout more worst insults, but if someone said the N, may Heaven help him/her.
Why are you censoring the word, just spell Nigger.

HELP
[QUOTE=Craptasket;52676815]Why are you censoring the word, just spell Nigger.[/QUOTE]
Because I don't know if someone is indeed too offensive by this word which will result to get me reported.
Play it safe for now.
What I hate are the double standards, a lot of blacks go around spewing nigga all day long. It's only bad when anyone but them says it.
It's all about context but a lot of people can only think in binary/black and white and don't think about nuance so when they hear nigger it doesn't matter to them why it was said. I heard a news reporter get mad at another for saying nigger while quoting what a black person said. Typically its either that or just pointless virtue signaling and it's very transparent.
you censored it how am i supposed to know what word you meant
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52676957]I wish people would have a more nuanced approach to topics like these instead of just going for whatever cheap "I GOTCHA!" arguments without even trying to understand the issue. Nigga works the way it does because a black person can reasonably assume any other black person saying any variation of the word isn't hostile, this is similar to the reason why you can say "I'm going to shoot your in the face" in a multiplayer FPS but not in public to some rando on the street. In both of these examples context completely changes the meaning of words. Blacks aren't being hypocritical by saying nigga all day, they're making noises with their mouths that intentionally sound like and reference a racial epithet, but when combined with context creates a completely different meaning.
People are sensitive to unaltered term because the contexts in which it might not be offensive are much rarer than the contexts in which it is as an underhanded attack.[/QUOTE]
If this is true, then why there is an issue?
Pewdiepie said the N word when he was playing a game, not outside in the real world.

Because he used it as a derogatory term for another player.
Just because it wasn't said face to face doesn't mean it isn't a hurtful context.
It's not as if Pewds said "Wow, you died, it's okay, we'll get them next round, my nigger." That would be pretty out there for a white European to pull that out with a hard R, but he at least would not have been a hurtful context for the word. No, he insulted the guy by calling him a 'fucking nigger', which most commonly refers to the dehumanizing slavery period in history, where in several large places on the planet a white person's life was literally considered more valuable than someone with a high melanin content in their skin.
There's no justifiable reason for using a racial slur when you're essentially "at work", and Pewdiepie's streaming career is his job. I'd be saying the same thing, with different words instead of 'race', if he'd called the guy a cock-chugging faggot.

Oh, how much I want a Youtuber use the word nagger just for the heck of it.

What kind of insult is "you nuglet"?
Your profile says you're 30 but you swear like a 12-year-old that just discovered shock humour.

You censored yourself yet again so I can't tell what you mean.
Unless you actually meant to say "or just read the other comments you nigger" in which case, wow, you haven't figured out the difference between hateful insult and non-hurtful use of the word.

"Why most niggers is oversensitive with the "N****" word?"
Sorry, but I am at work, so no video for me.
But yeah, this is I am talking about.
Calmly said to other player encouraging/delightful words?
What about the times you were playing with others and said whatever you wanted and never bother none because it was just friendly insults?
No?
Then I don't want to play with you. Sorry. Just no. I want tonsay whatever I want.

Okay, but listen.
It's one thing to say it in a private TeamSpeak channel with your friends.
It's another thing to say it in a YouTube livestream when you have 57 million subscribers and you have sponsors/partnerships.
Yell "You fucking nigger" at the top of your lungs in your office right now, and see if work lets you say whatever you want. Actually, don't, you might be dumb enough to do it and I don't want to be responsible for you getting fired.

You can't change titles once you submit them. The forum's set up that way. Choose titles carefully before submitting. If a title really needs to be changed you can PM a moderator and ask politely for the change. Go ahead, PM a mod and ask them to uncensor the word "nigger" in your thread title. :v:
You're specifically warned that you're going to get banned if you fuck up when you make a new thread so the onus is on you to do it right the first time.

Don't worry, it is my workplace, but my job require to be in normal lines quite.
Yes, I undertand very well about the issue sayings this to big audience with many of them be small children etc etc.
My issue is whatever someone said other "mean" words, they just let it be. Just like that. They just care about the Freaking N word so much I find it hilarious.
Care to list other slurs you think people don't freak out about?
Because I think people would still be mad if Pewdiepie hadn't yelled "nigger" but had instead yelled "chink" or "faggot" or "jap" or "beaner" or "wetback" or "spic" or "cowfucker" or, worst of all, "Rust player".
People don't like racist shit being slung around inappropriately. It's really easy.
snip
I wanted to make a joke by writting "Nugget" in the title, but I am lazy to speak with a Mod.
So here is it.

Motherfucker for example.
I find it more insulting to call someone like that than call him wetback.
Btw, wtf wetback means? First time I hearing this word.
It's a derogatory word for Mexicans. Don't use it. There's no "my wetback" casual friendliness use of the word unlike black guys and "my nigga". The only time someone says it is when they want to offend Mexicans or Mexican immigrants.
Swear words are embedded within culture, but in western culture "motherfucker" has become such a common slur that it rarely is meant to [I]actually[/I] imply that the listener has sex with their own mother. It's like how for most people "Oh, Jesus Christ" or "Oh my fucking God" have nothing to do with religion except that saying either would offend particularly devout Christians.
Btw, I don't find cowfucker as an insult.
As long as the cow fictional and have humanoid proposition and she is sweet and let me milk her as much I want.
Please call me Sharkfucker and post Sharkgirls all over this Thread and I promise you people I never call you N-men/women ever again.
I love getting into drama but I'm actually amazed at the reaction PDP got
You'd think people would have bigger issues this week
PDP has the scariest form of fame... the kind that makes everything he does wrong an international crime against humanity.
"Cowfucker" might be a bit more of a meaningful insult to an emigrated but still practicing Hindu -- I have no idea what the various slurs and insults are in India's many languages, so I'm not sure that "cowfucker" would do much if you actually went to India.

It's almost like he can't make a simple mistake without people trying to euthanize him.

But the thing remains: It is more insulting than calling someone nigger.
Yes, I understand what do you mean and in Greece we have something similar.
But as I said, Pewthenigga was just playing a game. It is not like he ment it be cause so much outcry.
