But we live in the here and now. And in this day and age it's pretty damn obvious if a white person calls a black person a monkey it's pretty racially charged. And in the here and now, we can start changing the meaning of the word by using it against white people. George Zimmerman is a fucking monkey. |

Context for $100 Seriously, watch this episode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F_Word_(South_Park) "The F Word" advocates a philosophy that language is malleable and ever-changing, and that the idea of taboo words are only assigned their stigma because society allows them to become so. |

Darklit_Minuet posted...Just like pointing out shit like this because it's funny I can troll about some things and be real about others. Changing the context of words is the latter, because I really think it can work if we cared enough to try it Check out the synopsis for this ep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F_Word_(South_Park) |

Are you also going to go back in history place white ppl in bondage for 300 years then Systematically oppress them for another 150? No, but if we call white people monkeys for the next 500 years, hardly anyone will remember that it used to be a racial slur |

| Darklit_Minuet 05/30/18 4:29:45 PM #56 | Solid Snake07 posted... Bro you don't just "change the context". It just is what it is. People have been using monkey as a racial insult long before we were born, you can't just say "well now it doesn't mean that" And if people start using it as an insult towards ALL people, it'll no longer be racial in nature. Solid Snake07 posted... Thats some of the most naive ridiculous shit I've ever heard, you're just advocating a collective cognitive dissonance. I'm advocating a change of meaning. I don't see why anyone would be opposed to it. |

| Darklit_Minuet 05/30/18 3:59:35 PM #50 | Webmaster4531 posted... Darklit_Minuet posted...Words lose connotation if they're repeatedly used in different ways. Like how I started calling white cops who abuse their power thugs to offset the colloquial usage of the word here where people just use it to refer to black people. Not yet but it will. Words change meaning. A word that is currently a slur against homosexuals used to mean bundle of sticks, and in England it means cigarette. If we keep using it in a different way it can become a slur against loud motorcycle riders instead, like what happened in South Park. Even the word gay used to mean happy before it meant gay. Look up the word literally in the dictionary - all the people using it to mean not literally actually got the meaning changed. |

Like how I started calling white cops who abuse their power thugs to offset the colloquial usage of the word here where people just use it to refer to black people. Words can be changed, and monkey can just become an acceptable term that refers to whoever the current president is --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 |

Neither do Trump's (he's much more stupid than an ape), and yet apparently people are calling him one. We should just call every president a monkey from this point on, without caring about what they look like. Then it'll be consistent |

| Darklit_Minuet 05/30/18 2:53:34 PM #6 | boxington posted... if you wanna ignore historical context, I guess that the two cases are similar. Was talking about Bush. And this does ignore historical context - it was okay to compare every President up to a certain point to monkeys but not a certain one. The historical context of president = monkey is ignored |

| Darklit_Minuet 05/30/18 12:12:50 PM #20 | ForestLogic posted... That all said I'm really curious to see how many Go players actually buy a Switch and play this. I know that's been Nintendo's phone strategy so far but idk... My gut tells me the moms and hobos that play Go aren't gonna run out to spend $300 just to be able to play Pokemon Go while sitting on a couch, with fewer Pokemon available than Go actually has now. The Switch is a handheld though, and everyone should buy it because it's the best gaming device ever made. Nobody's gonna buy one *for* this game. They'll buy one and also get this game. |
