Current Events > If coronavirus came from Wisconsin, would it be wrong to say it came from there?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If covid-19 DID originate out of Wisconsin, something tells me that no one would have a problem with calling it the Wisconsin Virus. Guaranteed that no one would care if were called that. Why do you think that is? You guys ARE getting offended by it being referred to as being from where it did originate from, though. Very suspicious. Lets all discuss in detail the reasons for this, so we can come to a greater understanding about our world.

I would take offense.

But would the mods take your side and delete posts referring to it as the Wisconsin Virus? Doubtful.

Discuss.

After some time, people in Wisconson would take offense, obviously.

It wouldn't be wrong to say "The virus that started in Wisconsin"

It would be wrong to call it "The Yank Virus" or the "American Virus" as that promotes predjudice against random innocent people.

I don't get why the "It's the Chinese Flu!" people don't seem to understand this and pretend other people are arguing it didn't start there

A bunch of people are dying and for some reason the most important thing to some people is calling the virus the China virus or some other dumb bullshit because they were born without a sense of sympathy or the ability to relate to suffering and all they can do is try to turn everything into a game where they are mad at some group of people

Way to go on missing the point, completely. The point is that the mods (and the media) wouldnt vehemently back the people of Wisconsin in defending their honor over being referred to as the source of the virus. That would never happen, not if Wisconsin were the source. Not ever. Also, imagine people saying that its racist to call it the Wisconsin Virus, because Wisconsin is predominately white, and referring to it as that would be ignorant to white people? Imagine that? Again, would never happen.

But if it DID come from Wisconsin, the rest of the world probably WOULD be calling it the American Virus, and SJWs and gamefaqs mods would not have a problem with that. And they certainly wouldnt be trying to stop people from saying it, because Wisconsin is white and therefore cannot be criticized, or youre a racist for daring to speak out against whites and their dastardly viruses from the Midwest. Face it, theres a double standard. Its OK, you can admit it. I wont tell anyone.

Imagine being this person and thinking that stating facts causes untold suffering.

Where's MeltyAlert when you need him

Saying "it came from Wisconsin" wouldn't upset anyone but then again saying "it came from China" doesn't upset anyone either.

And they would be jerks.

You've created a fictional fantasy scenario in your head that's hypothetically presented a double standard and then complained about it...

Tell me have you ever heard the term self-fulfilling prophecy

I don't agree. I think Trump would probably get a hell of a lot more blame than the west is giving China but that's because no media network has the balls to challenge their businsess interests.

But American people? No I don't think there would be a much larger group of idiots being jerks to them. The idiot pool size of the world is roughly universial.

This whole thing is just a distraction from how poorly Trump handled this.

Dont fall into the trap

It doesn't roll off the tongue very well, it would never catch.

Was it called Coronavirus or Covid-19 months in advance of a certain political base calling it "Wisconsin Flu" or whatever?

that account is the base form. this account is ultra instinct.

You're like the guy that goes "All Lives Matter!" unironically.

You could literally call it the "Caucasian Virus" or the "White Person Virus" and no one would give a shit, lol. Racism only exists against other races, you know this.
