What kind of moderator does his job and does what hezzy tells him to jeez
I bet someone replies with only the words "black people", they'll be banned for racism
black people
This thread is stupid now, everyone wants to vent on every single ban TH has done.
Grow up people?
[QUOTE=Ghost656;26261895]TH89 Is best mod ever, steveuk is rude :([/QUOTE]
he permabanned people for raiding when they didn't raid, now that's harsh.
SteveUK that is
i just noticed ive been banned before
Blogpunch.. Only for today
OP is just an elaborate lie, that's not what happened at all.
It's all because TH89 is bipolar, getting banned is 50/50 whenever he's involved.
I forgive you... mostly
It was good of you to make this thread, interesting read.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;26261934]This thread is stupid now, everyone wants to shove their head as far up TH89's ass as they can.
Grow up people?[/QUOTE]
Yes, because joining in on the bandwagon on bashing TH after he actually said sorry is fun.
black people
TH89, I apologize for making fun of your bannings, on behalf of me, I'm sorry, and I also forgive you, it you take my forgiveness.
I love you.
no one loves me back. :smith:
[QUOTE=Zing;26261873]You ban someone for a goddamn stereotype, and only when it's against blacks. Stereotypes are not fucking racism, racism is "I think your avatar is inferior because of its color."[/QUOTE]
It sounds like you are saying stereotypes cannot be racist. So if I said "Mexicans are stupid and lazy" it wouldn't be racist, because it is a stereotype?

th89 is the real racist[/QUOTE]
Dude, Nigerian princes keep fucking emailing me
Stop emailing me TH89
On racism bans in general, I think intent should take precedence over whether or not the words are racist or a stereotype. Honestly, if somebody makes a race joke they are doing just that: joking. They aren't spreading hate for another race.
And whether the story is true or not, TH89 still apologized. That's good in my book.
Saying
"I don't like the black guy down the road because he tried breaking into my house last week" isn't racist.
Saying
"I hate black people because all they do is steal shit" is racist.
because you're bashing a whole race
I forgive you :buddy:.
TH89 you're still one of the coolest mods, I remember you coming onto vent and then freestyle mixing our voices into tracks. Good times. Then the Linelor call out was hilarious.
TH89 – only person to ban me.

That is being racist--it's a stereotype that says an entire race is inferior.
"Black guys like chicken" IS NOT FUCKING RACIST
its funny cause blacks are the most racist where i live
"cracka"
christ it's just an internet forum. why can't you people all stop being melodramatic and calm the fuck down.

How do you think it is determined whether a stereotype implies inferiority or not?

He's saying not all stereotypes are ill-intentioned. Stop putting words into his mouth.
i.e: "Latin people typically are great dancers."
Hey TH89 remember when you made everyone believe you were black? heh.
It's like highschool drama all over again.

So you agree that some stereotypes are ill-intentioned?
Didn't you help create the Mass Effect Rap with Kabuto?
Still has some of the sickest scratching I've heard to date.
I did do that.
[QUOTE=TH89;26262135]How do you think it is determined whether a stereotype implies inferiority or not?[/QUOTE]
If you're talking about practical knowledge, you can use your common sense. If a poster says, "All Asian people are fat MMO addicts" it's safe to assume they are looking down on Asian people because of a stereotype. There's no universal mechanic to determine whether or not a stereotype implies inferiority, however.
I personally don't find stereotypes like, "All black people like fried chicken" applicable. Culture doesn't say anyone is inferior for liking a specific kind of food.
