Is it really dumb to assume that a phrase means what the phrase always means in modern culture?

I meant the video
This is why our culture is screwed.
In this thread, we have multiple people trying to inform people that the movie makes fun of both white and black culture, and yet we still get people saying shit like:

People... [i]inform yourselves[/i]. I'm getting real sick of this shit.
tbh it seemed like satire from the trailer alone? if it's not I'd be very surprised
I personally think Netflix releasing this is a great thing!
Post this trailer on your Facebook, take note of all the people who get riled up about it being anti-white propaganda, and then block those people!
It's a great way to cull your Facebook of people who are either too stupid to recognize satire, or too presumptuous to even bother watching a trailer, and in either case jump the gun and immediately assume that their race is being attacked and that this series is anti-white propaganda.
Honestly the only way Netflix could make cleaning your Facebook out any easier is if they posted this for you.

I mean i get not realizing its satire can be annoying but thats kind of fucked up.
After watching the movie trailer it makes more sense, and as long as shit is getting thrown across both aisles it will probably be funny, but the trailer really just makes it look like a white bashing comedy.

i'm pretty sure you could pick out a ton of shows and movies on netflix that have a certain political or social slant besides this one

you could've brought this up if there wasn't already a clear indicator of the author's intentions in the form of a feature length 2014 movie, and every other post in this thread being about said movie and its purpose

Again, I only saw the first video clip. I watched the second just now and I actually want to see it, looks like a critique of college culture.

[QUOTE=Waffle cones.;51797647]for a group of people that frequently make fun of those who get easily offended by mundane shit, you guys sure seemed to have gotten easily offended by mundane shit[/QUOTE]
The first trailer alone makes it look like an MTV esque laci green show, It takes a viewing of the second trailer to realize what it is.
Man this thread is fucking great
watching people jump to wild conclusions without even thinking is pretty fun
I'm glad people are making fun of college culture because its turning to fucking caustic garbage.

So we shouldnt judge based on the OP's post? ( the very thing this thread was about) Lol
Also so am I, I wanna see it now.
I'm going to categorize this under "Reasons why Trump will be re-elected in 2020."
This looks like something making fun of both sides what's bad about that

If you dress up as Obama but without the black face is it still racist

Jokes on the people who cancelled, it was probably already technically paid for.
lmao I really did not expect some of the reactions here to be exactly like what I saw on twitter.. which was basically a bunch of people jumping to conclusions that this was race baiting and offensive (ironic bc most of these people are also anti-PC, hate safe space etc etc?)
anyways its been said a bunch of times already but the movie this is based on was complete satire, and covered a broad number of topics about identity politics from an african american perspective. it was in no way focused on white people
lol netflix is gonna lose so many viewers because of this
I think the main issue is the title. It sounds very pretentious and off putting to someone who isn't informed on what this actually is. I'm assuming others are the same way.

Plus they wont even watch the trailer

Yeah its a shitty title.
While it's rather obviously a moronic idea to start boycotting netflix and yelling for blood on twitter over a title with no further research, it's not a stretch to offhandedly react negatively to a title intentionally made to imply a bunch of racist shit.
Just remember next time you think about how someone you dislike is "being a troll" or "deserves negative attention for presenting themselves poorly" that this is essentially the same thing. Im not about to hassle pointing fingers but my hypocrisy sense is tingling after reading some of these comments.

I wouldn't mind offhanded negative reactions anywhere else. But we're in a thread with all the info you need to judge the intent of this series, beyond those first impressions. I'm complaining about the knee jerk reactions here, and I assume most (if not all) of the people you're talking about are as well. Maybe there's a post I missed talking about how [i]every[/i] bad reaction to the title is completely abominable, but I don't think there is. Feel free to quote it if I'm wrong, but otherwise, I have no clue who you're talking about
