Apology from the Fivver jungle guys - General

[video=youtube;a8fucBzAL-0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8fucBzAL-0[/video] Looks like Fivver are uncivil and can't take a joke

Sucks that Pewd's silly stunt resulted in these guys losing their account. He doesn't seem to care too much about it either.

These guys go to pretty great lengths for all of $5 lousy dollars, but $5 is enough for 3 meals a day over there. [b]For 7 days.[/b]

Well that's good then.

[QUOTE=Pascall;51686018]Sucks that Pewd's silly stunt resulted in these guys losing their account. He doesn't seem to care too much about it either.[/QUOTE] iirc it wasn't his fault that they were fired, it was his rabid hatebase.

What exactly caused them to lose their jobs/make an apology video?

these guys are clearly from a part of the world where "death to all jews" has no significant meaning it's not their fault that Fivver doesn't have any quality assurance

welcome to the age where no-one can take a fucking joke

Funfact: The two owners of Fiverr (Shai Wininger, Micha Kaufman) are both Jews and the company is based in Israel.

That is insanely stupid, so what happens if you make Tyrone say the same sentence?? lol

[QUOTE=TheTalon;51686047]These guys go to pretty great lengths for all of $5 lousy dollars, but $5 is enough for 3 meals a day over there. [b]For 7 days.[/b][/QUOTE] kinda wish they had a gofundme so i could throw em a few bucks until they get unbanned

This kind of offensive humour isn't new. It really fucking sucks that Fiverr took down their account [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdMfciMgfCk[/media] remember this?

[QUOTE=spectator1;51686715]That is insanely stupid, so what happens if you make Tyrone say the same sentence?? lol[/QUOTE] He would probably refuse. But if he did say "Death to All Jews" he would get banned as well.

I don't get how people can see something like this and think "This person is clearly an actual racist making a serious statement", and then think they've accomplished anything by barring them from the site.

If they can't get their account back someone should set up a patreon or something so they can offer their, umm, service elsewhere.

[QUOTE=Deri102;51686460]welcome to the age where no-one can take a fucking joke[/QUOTE] Punching down is typically poor form as far as jokes go.

[QUOTE=Levithan;51687695]Punching down is typically poor form as far as jokes go.[/QUOTE] would "death to all whites" be okay with you?

[QUOTE=Levithan;51687695]Punching down is typically poor form as far as jokes go.[/QUOTE] No matter how many times you say that it won't get any more true.

[QUOTE=mayo;51687890]would "death to all whites" be okay with you?[/QUOTE] Only if those whites are cisgender, straight males (read as: cishets), otherwise that's a hate crime against the LGBT community.

[QUOTE=blueNES;51685939] Looks like Fivver are uncivil and can't take a joke[/QUOTE] Not at all. Stuff like like this should not be tolerated. The joke was that they wrote it - not that saying 'Death to Jews' is funny. However, I have no doubt that the Jungle Indians had no idea what they were writing. Most people in the world haven't met a Jew, nor would probably even know what they are, especially a group of Indians in the middle of nowhere. I think it's clear they realised their mistake, and should be reinstated. This is a fantastic money making opportunity for them when other stuff doesn't exist. I found the Pewdiepie video with them funny, because it's clear that Pewdiepie didn't actually expect them to go through with it - but Fiverr cannot be seen / or allow itself to be a marketplace for racist content.

[QUOTE=Levithan;51687695]Punching down is typically poor form as far as jokes go.[/QUOTE] Dont you ever get tired of being a killjoy? Do you ever not complain?

[QUOTE=aznz888;51686336]these guys are clearly from a part of the world where "death to all jews" has no significant meaning[/QUOTE] What if "death to all jews" means "hello" in their language?

[QUOTE=Levithan;51687695]Punching down is typically poor form as far as jokes go.[/QUOTE] So the jews either control the world or they are at the bottom of the global food chain. Man the alt-right and alt-left really can't agree on anything!

[QUOTE=Bernie Buddy;51686918]I don't get how people can see something like this and think "This person is clearly an actual racist making a serious statement", and then think they've accomplished anything by barring them from the site.[/QUOTE] Because Fiverr is a marketplace. If they start allowing racist content to be produced like that, what's stopping someone who actually wants to use it in a racist manner from sliding in with all the jokes?

Can't blame Fivver for taking it down. In the eyes of the law, complacency is consent. If they left these guys in operation and some sensationalist victim-complexer sued them for it, they could win. I still wish those guys hadn't been banned, though. Seems like a shitty situation all around. I'd say "be aware of both your audience and your stage," but I'm not sure those two even knew what kind of environment the internet at large is, especially these days. If I were in Fivver's shoe's I'd have given them a documented formal warning explaining why that content isn't okay before banning them outright.

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;51688623]taking an active role and going case by case[/QUOTE] Who, Fiverr or the seller? Either way there needs to be some oversight, and banning will happen. I don't understand people who think that stuff like this should be allowed. You wouldn't sell "Death to Jews" as a joke in an American market stall (in an actual market), so why is it okay to sell the same thing online?
