Supposedly this movie is racist


The busy bodies see "black youth" when the Gremlins eat fried chicken. Could it be the person seeing the racism is...actually the racist?

reply

Stop making shit up to be scandalised about.

reply

Agreed.

reply

You agreed with an uninformed idiot. Hope you're proud of yourself.

reply

I too suspect that your OP is just some shit you pulled out your ass to start a debate about race , possibly to move on to "woke" and "pc" whining.

WHERE is your evidence that " busy bodies see "black youth" " ?

reply

Google is easy. It keeps you from saying stupid shit, like you just did...

reply

I don't need to google to know that there are shitstains like you out there stirring up more shit to stain everything with.

reply

well said

reply

So, in other words, you're gonna double-down, you lazy, stupid fuck. You wanna be ignorant and stupid, that's your illness. Don't fucking flaunt it in public. Makes you look even worse than you already are.

reply

You'r continuing to prove my point. Google still not required. Thanks.

reply

Exactly! She clearly needs attention. Pathetic.

That wouldn't be considered subtext. That racism (if we're going to use a word that has a thousand different meanings) is on the surface. I happen to disagree with the opinion that the gremlins themselves are supposed to be mocking black culture, but that would be the subtext (whenever leftists "see" racism in something, they're actually just revealing their own racism--for example, the dummies who keep claiming Orcs in Lord of the Rings are some anti-black stereotype. Just blatant projection...)

reply

They were very rowdy in the cinema too.... just sayin'...

reply

Honestly, and no disrespect to you at all, but I am so sick of these posts. There is always someone offended by something. Sad that people can't just enjoy movies, shows, games, etc anymore without someone bringing up a racial issue or something else that has offended them.

reply

It has become very tiresome I agree. Not sure what the OP's intent is but I am getting the vibe they are mocking the whole thing a little. Which is cool as I enjoy doing that too.

reply

Agreed! I felt that the OP is mocking it as well. I'm glad I was not the only one to see that 😊

reply

more like a parody post to me...

reply


Mocking (snowflakes / SJWs) is out of control - to the extent that the vast majority of "im offended" or "those snowflakes are offended" posts are shit made up by right wing anti-woke extremists just so they can get all lathered up and outraged that "you cant say/do shit anymore its not fair!"

I'd say in only about 5% of "offended " posts , is someone is offended


reply

Yeah. The popularity of posts seeking to mock imaginary "woke" complaints just indicate how offended and distressed some people are at the idea of anyone bringing racism to their attention.

reply

Then call it racism. All racism.Don't cherry pick what suits your politics.

reply

How does Gremlins suit my politics?

reply

I would rather read the parodies than the actual SJW posts like Martoto there..

reply

Ive never seen the actual SJW posts
Its always
a) I'm offended! (but its just a parody / joke whatever)
b) Other people are offended! (also bullshit , the "other people" are never linked /cited )

case in point - this thread went with troll option b
The OP opines that "busy bodies" are offended at racism , who the fuck are "busy bodies" ?

reply

Really? You have never seen the SJW posts? Come on!

reply

no , what would that look like?

Take the OPs trolling for example:
busy bodies see "black youth" when the Gremlins eat fried chicken

I dont think ive ever seen a genuine post saying
"This movie is racist against black people because..."
countless joke ones , like this , no real ones

I've seen many genuine posts from white boys get "outraged" when a black guy gets a role on tv, but they arnt the demographic we're talking about.

I've not seen any *genuine* "There should be a black guy in this" posts

What does a post from a real SJW look like?


reply

You either don't want to see them or you are trolling.

reply

No it isn’t. I get a good dose of satisfaction when I mock the SJW crybaby crowd .

reply

There is always someone offended by something.

Its worse than that , the OP isnt offended
He is claiming , with zero evidence , that some other almost definatlely imaginary people are offended.

And still we have a thread about it!

reply

Yes, very sad 😣

reply

I was just bringing it up for a debate (I obviously don't agree with it). Instead, a host of right-wing snowflakes showed up to make claims without a shred of evidence. Even when I suggested they google it, they doubled-down on their stupidity.

You can't have a conversation with anyone on the Internet. Lefties and righties are both dug-in clowns with no ability to think for themselves.

The world is doomed and I don't give a shit.

reply

"I was just bringing it up for a debate (I obviously don't agree with it)"

Oh I know, I understood that. And again I meant no disrespect. It's just getting old. It's not just here, it's everywhere. It would be nice to have a forum dedicated to debates such as the one you suggested where people can be mature and have a proper debate but sadly, you will rarely find it anymore.

"The world is doomed and I don't give a shit."

It certainly feels that way πŸ€” Stay strong and take care of you and yours SandyR 😊

Damn. No wonder I love this movie.

reply

I'll watch it with my friend Shaniqua and see what they/them thinks

reply

No one has said this. Ever.

reply

Here's something you probably hear every day: Keep your fucking mouth shut until you know what the fuck you're talking about.

Now go use google and feel sufficiently ashamed for being a loud-mouthed idiot.

reply

Yippee. Everything is racist nowadays. Let's establish clouds, milk, black steer, black cats, white cats also racist. And let's not stop there...

reply

If you say so.

reply

White people eat fried chicken too.
