Finding offense where none exists, America's favorite pastime

[@M]

So, there's this Chinese building block site, Brickkk, and some crazy fooks here are getting all worked up because KKK is in their name. The fuck? It's just a play on the spelling of a word, and probably the only domain name that they could get. This one dumbass woman commented, on their Black Friday sale post, that she wasn't going to order anything from them until they changed their name. Seriously? You think some Chinese folks, just trying to sell plastic bricks (some of which come with black mini figures), are down with the Klan? Living in China, I'd wager that most of them weren't even aware of, or very familiar with, the existence of the KKK until this shit started. What if the company had named themselves Brixxx instead? Would that make them pro-porn too?

Fuck those idiots, I ordered several sets to support the company.

Okay, so after looking over the real site, I had no idea there were things like that being built in bricks.

Why the fuck couldn't we have bricks like that when I was a kit.

All I had was this shit.

The company does sell illegal bootlegs of official LEGO products (which I didn't purchase), so, that would be legitimate criticism, but, there's nothing even remotely racist about their operations.

I still cannot figure out if the thread title refers to the people who think the Chinese company is racist or if the thread title refers to you.

It is far, far easier to complain and grab faux-power by acting as an arbiter of morality than to actually contribute something worthwhile in life.

It's all a game of social outrage oneupmanship now. People seek out and manufacture shit to get upset about.

 

[HellioN]

When you run out of real problems you must manufacture new ones.

Yes.

Sometimes it is nice to let someone know that thier product contains a cross-cultural faux pas.

A few years ago there was a local outrage when someone found out how they track the types of strikeouts at baseball games.

I remember when we were kids and the band 311 was supposedly supposed to stand for 3 of the third letter of the alphabet.

You mean eleventh letter?

Also I'm pretty sure it's actually police code for something drug related.

We're in a shitty version of The Duellists where the other party will not quit it until you duel him in social media virtue signalling to the cancellation and job loss

I played a boardgame called Kemet this weekend. You can buy special powers to enhance your God abilities. There are Red, white, black, and blue powers...
They had to revise the game because of "White Powers". They are now named after gems instead of colors.....

 

[Lagduf]

That’s just dumb, frankly.

Any instance where context and intention is ignored is dumb, frankly.

Non-Americans painting their face black for dressing up isn't prejudiced, change my view.

Colonialism got nothing to do with it.

Colonialism is being offended when people from other countries don't know or understand small details of America's cultural history.

So what you are saying is that the Black, Brown and indigenous people of Canada have no right to be offended by thier prime minister's actions?

Yes.

Better yet, they should get over it and move on.

 

[Lagduf]

Huh? Colonialism was the de facto economic engine of Empire from approximately 1500 onward for all European powers. Colonialism has done untold harm to the world.
