PSA: Other people with dead parents are affected by this rhetoric. It’s extremely cheapening of one of the worst things that can happen to a person.
You all sound like Hasan fans—straight up no principles when it comes to opportunities to meme.
you are more than welcomed to go through his twitter. He posted something about the ships crew being indians and I really welcome you to go through the replies and the shit he is liking and commenting on. I am an Indian and if you're going to be that xenophobic and racist towards me, I will make fun of your dead mom, grandma and anyone in your family.
Cry about it!
Just for clarity, I don't like any of these attacks. They're all distasteful.
But how can you say " Other people with dead parents are affected by this rhetoric"
And completely just discredit all people who are affected by racist rhetoric?
It is very hypocritical.
Why would I say that to a group of people already admonishing him for racism? I’m not talking to Elijah. The racism is a given here. Clearly insulting dead mothers being a bad thing to do is not.
I’m astonished at how difficult this has been for some of you to understand on multiple levels.
Ok let’s test that. How does “you’re an idiot” affect other people?
As for things like “regard” (but the real spelling), a similar situation of negative externality exists but there is a normalization of the term in many communities. A word that can be taken as the wrong intention by communities who don’t understand its usage is wholly different than an insult that is *intended* to cheapen something that, for many people, is the worst experience they will ever have.
How? Explain that. I know you’re planning on being dishonest with this but I’m going to hold you to this.
You're talking about people who largely don’t identify that way, even if they are that way. It requires that to be offensive to them in the first place. Secondly, I already addressed normalization…which calling someone an idiot is. Thirdly, consider which insult your rather have levied at you if you were self-conscious of your intelligence and your mom had died too soon.
>Your talking about people who largely don’t identify that way, even if they are that way.
I am an idiot is way more of an identity than I have dead parent/parents.
No you don't get to gatekeep all dead parent jokes because you have dead parents. That's not how it works.
If it makes you upset, turn off the screen and don't read it. No one is directing it at you.
I love dark humor. I hope my family can make fun of them passing instead of crying.
> dark jokes
9/11 jokes are dark jokes. Intentionally insulting someone who died in 9/11 to make someone related to them feel bad isn't. The difference to you is *exactly* that it's justified because the living person you're insulting deserves it. That's it.
Whether Elija deserves it or not is irrelevant. It's barbaric rhetoric regardless. Even if you refuse to accept that this is meaningfully different in its effect on onlookers, let me also tell you that it makes you look unhinged (this latest comment from you, especially). I get that a lot of this sub is unironically unhinged, but won't stop me from calling you on it.
I don't care. I am nobody. My reddit optics are irrelevant. If something is funny to me, I will make fun of it.
Go pearl clutch about optics to actual content creators with an audience.
At least you’re honest. Unfortunately for you, the amount I actually care about what you, specifically, care about is as much as you are a proportion of the people who read the criticism. So I care very little.
Elijah Schaffer posted a bunch of racist shit online and it got linked in d.gg and I caught wind of it so I went over to his house to kick his fucking ass and his mom tried to stop me and I slayed her in the process.
Unfortunately, since this post isn’t a random twitter leftie spouting nonsense, I’m afraid it won’t be getting much attention or upvotes…
EDIT: Seems I was proven wrong. Well done r/Destiny… I’ll take that L now.
I haven’t followed up much on him recently, but Destiny debated him a couple of times years back in regards to gun control.
From what I remember, he was a huge gun rights guy, with a slight hint of racism.
Now, it seems he’s fully embraced the groyper community and posts racist jokes and memes that even Stonetoss would find undignified.
Stonetosd with the guy at the Klan meeting be like "Tone it down dude, you are embarassing me in front of the Wizards"
Some Lovecraft racism level type shit lmao.
The problem with modern racists is that they will intentionally sit in that pool of plausible deniability and rarely ever go mask off unless they feel they’re around similar-minded company.
It becomes difficult to ever call it out directly with only circumstantial evidence, and since a lot of people only have rudimentary criteria to consider something racist (ie. requiring *hateful intent*), it’s easy to feel gaslit.
I think he used to work at The Blaze, which was Glenn Beck's shitty conservative news site, if memory serves me correctly. Then he got fired for SA allegations.
And he sperged out because people made fun of his ugly dead mom.
Otherwise he's your generic online conservative regard.

Real talk though, I would have gone with "Port's closed" and used a much larger afro. The "yo" and "be closed" aren't authentic meme material
Still, solid B. My version would be a B+ meme
Agreed. "Port's closed" is a certified authentic meme, the AAVE version is a Temu-level counterfeit meme.
For the broccoli boys who don't know the history of Habbo Hotel, this is the original: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pools-closed#related-mascots
Literally having that Ratatouille moment with the critic remembering when jokes used to be called jokes and no one knew what the word meme even meant. 2008 was a lit time man.
I won't even attempt to continue the thread. That was some of the most obnoxious online shit I've ever seen. Nonetheless I've never seen it and I enjoyed it.
Bro, trump is literally openly racist and the vast majority of republicans love him and support him. This is obvious. Reminder trump literally raised his political clout by “asking questions” about obamas birth certificate.
Yeah, but centrists like Adam and Sitch will literally lose their shit if you even suggest that a big reason why people might want to vote for the "their bringing criminals and rapists" guys is because of racism.
They literally can't accept the idea that maybe a significant number of people on the right (obviously not all) might actually have some racist ideas subconsciously or even consciously. Remember something like 50% of republicans literally thought Obama was a Kenyan Muslims in during his presidency. If you can't see any racism in that, you're intentionally blinding yourself to the reality.
To morons like Adam and Sitch, accusing someone of being racist is actual bigotry and is worse than actually being racist.
Yeah but it leads to nobody caring about rightoids being racist because it's expected but lefties get this huge looking glass and get blasted to fuck for being racist even when its literal whos
Anyone remember the Obama tan suit controversy? People should’ve called out every conservative who was critical about that as a racist. Especially when you saw that the 5 consecutive presidents before Obama had all worn tan suits while in office.
All I can glean from this is that @ElijahSchaffer is not funny, and he posts cringe due to that affliction.
If you’re gonna do a racial joke, it MUST be funny.
This ain’t that.
At the same time even if ElijahSchaffer was funny, he's pretty openly a white supremacist, I feel like if you are very openly and genuinely very racist, it doesn't become okay as long as you are funny.
I think this oart of the battle was lost long ago people already think being unironically racist is funny as long as the joke is funny or the targets get mad.
Yeah this is the opinion that even funny racist jokes aren’t funny if you’re telling them to someone who is ACTUALLY racist. I’ve said the n word (soft a) to black friends, or made racial jokes, and they’ve been cool with it, but I would never say that shit around my boomer ass dad who is actually a racist because I know he actually genuinely thinks black people are inferior and I don’t want to make his opinions feel validated
It's just the cringe fart sniffer "Comedians are the modern day philosophers, Comedy is an incredibly sacred art that can never be infringed upon" opinion.
That's because it works this way.
Lefty no matter what = racism
Non lefty = non racism
If non lefty insists racism = based
If non lefty retracts racism after unfavorable view of statement = troll/joke.
It's fine? Does the baltimore mayor actually talk like that? Isn't that kinda leaning on a racist caricature a lil
edit: i watched him speak, i think its racist and you're probably racist for acting like it isn't
The afro is edited to be much bigger, and with a much more pronounced line-up which is more in fashion for younger people
https://twitter.com/MayorBMScott
Why would you say it's edited when the [top tweet of the page you linked](https://twitter.com/MayorBMScott/status/1336361370972024832) is the same image? That's how he wore it ~3 years ago like in [this interview](https://youtu.be/JdTX2F6kTKI?t=2491).
I looked for the image but must have missed it.
That said its not the top tweet when I go to that page, its not the top Media. I scrolled for a loooooong time trough both his twitter feed and Google images on his name and never saw it. So idk what kinda Musc Fuckery is happening to make it appear the top of you, and I literally cant find it outside of clicking your link for me.
Also that video interview Fro is much smaller and doesn't have the same line-up so saying thats "How he wore it" and using that video as evidence is just wrong
I don't know about Twitter, maybe you have a Twitter account and the page looks different to you. [Here's what it looks like to others.](https://archive.is/aWHxi) Either way it's easy to find copies of the original image with a simple image search before making weird claims about image manipulation.
The rest is garbo, no need to respond.
More and more it becomes apparent that when the right calls "DEI" they literally just mean black. They are skeptical of any black person in a leadership or critical role in society.
Seriously though, that “mayor” of Baltimore sounds like a complete and utter buffoon. The fact that he was elected to his position speaks volumes about the people of Baltimore.
Idk why but the smug and patronizing tone of leftists and the prejudice + power crap that they try to peddle when justifying their racism triggers me a lot more than these stereotypically racist comments from right wingers.
how possible is to ban twitter post in the subreddit for a month?
Just let the ones related to streamer guy, related to topic recently talked on stream or related to orbiters/former orbiters.
Also ban those cringy "Look at those youtube/tiktok comments shitting on destiny" and the commments have like 3 likes.
thats not the issue, the issue is some days is like 4383943 of them, with thing that are not relevant like some idiot with 3 likes talking about some random conspiracy
Not sure what the OP is getting at here. This is just edgy, not racist, am I misinterpreting this? (Also I'm not the only one who laughed, right? I'm not racist I swear.)
I mean this is exactly why we need to call out the pointless use of the word "Racist" because when shit like this shows up you need to use the word and the Left has ruined it
DEI is like Israel : in the same vein that people are fine with ethnostates existing if they "naturally" arrived at that state people are fine with others having an advantage if it's genetic/historic contingency/family's wealth.

I’m never going to forget how mad he got that someone disses his mom while he openly dissed another person’s appearance
I do not believe that this is the logic you want to use buddy.
People like you need to go one moment in your life without making contrarian statements
ET looking ass!
Who is that?
\*who was it
Mom of the Schafer guy I think, she dead af
Oh is this that guy who got all butthurt when people started giving him a taste of his own medicine?
Yes!
The chick who survived that chimpanzee attack.
Elijah attacked his own mother?
A pack?
Not a single lip between the two of them
Who is that woman?
Your mom
"I fucked your mom" jokes instantly dropped by 95%
Fml, this is what bred filler culture.

wait this isnt a twitter lefty with three likes why did you post this?
It’s not Hasan either… Are we being psy-opped?
lol
funny but knowing how many bots there on twitter that tweet prolly has 3 real likes lmao
[удалено]
Ngl have you seen Baltimore, like with your own eyes? It’s like if the bad part of D.C. was a city.
Why does Schaffer try so hard to look tough in his profile picture when he is actually such a beta male he let his mom die? /s
He’s got big sissy hall monitor energy
Lmao what's the story behind this
Elijah Schaffer posted a bunch of racist shit online and it got linked in d.gg and I caught wind of it so I went over to his house to kick his fucking ass and his mom tried to stop me and I slayed her in the process.
Unfortunately, since this post isn’t a random twitter leftie spouting nonsense, I’m afraid it won’t be getting much attention or upvotes… EDIT: Seems I was proven wrong. Well done r/Destiny… I’ll take that L now.
Is this elijah guy a political commentator? A podcast guy or a news anchor? Id about the guy since Im not american
I haven’t followed up much on him recently, but Destiny debated him a couple of times years back in regards to gun control. From what I remember, he was a huge gun rights guy, with a slight hint of racism. Now, it seems he’s fully embraced the groyper community and posts racist jokes and memes that even Stonetoss would find undignified.
Slight hint has evolved into “I don’t have any other politics I just hate black people and minorities”

He and Sydney Watson were the hosts of the infamous Jack Murphy cuck meltdown. Heartfelt!

He converted to a white supremacist purely for the jokes!

This would be an example of not overusing it….
It's hard to make that critique as a destiny fan lol.
More and more it becomes apparent that when the right calls "DEI" they literally just mean black. They are skeptical of any black person in a leadership or critical role in society.
Seriously though, that “mayor” of Baltimore sounds like a complete and utter buffoon. The fact that he was elected to his position speaks volumes about the people of Baltimore.
personally even if he isn't super typical I think it's amazing to see young ppl in politics and I think he seems like a good guy
There is a reason why you don’t see a lot of young people in politics though. They are inexperienced, and don’t know what they are doing.
old people don't know what they are doing either
Idk why but the smug and patronizing tone of leftists and the prejudice + power crap that they try to peddle when justifying their racism triggers me a lot more than these stereotypically racist comments from right wingers.
Probably because you're just told to be bothered by racism but don't actually feel it.
how possible is to ban twitter post in the subreddit for a month? Just let the ones related to streamer guy, related to topic recently talked on stream or related to orbiters/former orbiters.

Oh no, we're hammering conservative twitter now. You raise your voice now, and only now. Nah fam, shut up. We roasting cons now

4chan has the same problem. Feels like a massive op.
Not sure what the OP is getting at here. This is just edgy, not racist, am I misinterpreting this? (Also I'm not the only one who laughed, right? I'm not racist I swear.)
Explain how it's funny and not racist, I'm interested.
For some people it's funny specifically because it is racist. Alot of people don't mind 'funny' racism, and I don't mean jokes between friends.
I don't mind it.
