Blooms and Nux…two of my favorite creators! HECK YEAH!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

Nah that last sentence is straight up an anime line, you did not need to go this hard on a youtube comment 🔥🔥🔥

Bro is literally him

Lmao, brother, it's the way Cartman says that line fucking kills me every time

Why do you have to include being black as a part of your statement?

@@Xavieusbecause, some troll would read it. Think he is white and racist and he would get hate.

Well, he didn't! 🤣

Daemon Targaryen: "Say it..."

It's bound to happen hopefully 🙏

@@SamTheGumMan117 hope we get blooms on the someordinary podcast someday

To me Nux is the adventure time guy

Blooms likes Rick and Morty as well. And he made a video on how well it does cosmic horror.

And soon nux will be the adventure time guy

It's partially because they actually "research" and atleast the understand the history & community around subjects to appropriately represent it, instead of just bashing on it

What you talking about he was always named Tolkien

He was always named Tolkien, the characters just say it in a way that *sounds* like Token.

@@filipvadas7602 to be fair, the token was a retconned to make the tolkein joke

@@franksarria9693 no, it was always Tolkien. You’re the problem

​@@emeraldfinder5so very clearly the problem.

I completely agree. I understand the reasoning, but it just seems like people are putting even more power over that word

@@Lady_CoralI’ve given that reasoning some thought and I share the sentiment, but it’s not up to me, a white Scandinavian, to say how black people should react to a word. But I do believe that the only thing that gives words power is how much taboo we make it. Like when I was a kid, swear words had so much impact because we weren’t allowed to say it. Now everyone around me swears all the time and it’s just another word. But my view on what’s best is irrelevant as I’m not the one it targets

Why would he need to fight them off?

@@danviferahr1426Their affinity for pollinating flowers by transporting nectar.

That's flower sex. He'd like it.

@@Happymasks I feel like a flower wouldn't mind that though

@@Happymasks not like they'd sting a flower, after all

He’s not good he’s based

as said in the video. context is key. the context and events in which the words have/ are being used is what makes it different from regular curse words.

Ah, no no, it's Tolkien, but commonly mispronounced as token by our main cast

Firm believer that words don't have innate power, people *give* them power.

Doesn't Asian just referred to the continent of origin? Like European, Middle Easterners, or South Americans. To list a few. And I have no idea how this is exclusive to "American". Also which America? North America, South America, or United States of America? Either way I'm pretty sure they all use the similar naming system for continents and their population. Sure the word "Asian" can be used in a degradatory way. But that applies to the countries and their populations name as well. And, if I'm guessing your logic correctly, you did what you were complaining about. If not worse because you referred to said people in a degradatory way. So idk maybe think about it some more. Instead of just assuming racism when someone/something refered to another person continent of origin instead of country of origin. Idk that's just my two cents

Banning words gives them IMMENSE power. Putting words in the same category as other things we arent supposed to do just makes them that much heavier.

i think there's more ways but they take more effort. but something relatively easy is non poc's being more exposed to different poc. segregation just facilitates an us vs them mindset

@@cdogthehedgehog6923 yeah i too see that side. Which is ultimately why i hope in the future the negative connotations around the word of the slurs just go away cause people stop caring about them

@@namecomingsoon9517 Usually, slurs get embraced by the targeted party and that tends to take much of the bite out of it. Also, people just need to have thicker skins. If someone says something you dont like or something that offends you, stop talking to them/watching their content. Its as easy that. If it crosses the line to harassment, thats when you actually need to pay attention and take action. Words literally cannot directly hurt you unless you let them.

I prefer the latter. I’m Mexican and grew up in a ‘redneck’ white town. My good ol boy white friends would call me every name for Mexican you can think of and I did the same with them. Even though we were “offensive” with our jokes, we all saw each other as brothers. It’s easy to find someone who has your super polite sense of humor, but it’s harder to find people who’d take a bullet for you. My honky redneck degenerates got my back and I got theirs 😎

Best way I can explain it is, I can call my friend a dipshit and they can call me a dipshit and we cool, you as a stranger not in our group calls me a dipshit and I'd want to beat your ass because who the f are you? Get it because it seems like people find it so hard to understand when it really isn't.

That’s really naive. Basic human empathy has nothing to do with a word or event that has been the source of a group’s hurt, anger, etc. Just because someone doesn’t understand how a person of a different race, culture, or religion feels about a particular event doesn’t mean they don’t have basic human empathy. It just means they don’t understand. Simple.

This is one of the most ignorant takes out there. I wouldn’t usually pile on becoming the person above me said it perfectly, but this just shows the actual issues we have. Some people are just god damn retarded.

Plus they went full hypocrite not even much later, by making the episode where they (straight people) voice gay characters to tell us that it's okay to use the F slur as long as you're referring to people you hate who aren't actually gay as far as you know & they illustrated their point by... parodying the racist murder of a black guy that happened while the episode was being made. And of course a biker couldn't be gay, right? No one gay would... ride a motorcycle. ​ @leileyaravencroft The problem with that is that it only stops a person from 100% understanding it, which Stan never claimed to & Tolkien was just being a little shit about it for the sake of being a little shit about it. If he just said hearing the word upsets him behind there's a long dark degrading history behind it (even though that has nothing to do with the conversation they were having), Stan would've said something like. "Yeah... Yeah, I know. Sorry." because he already knew that. I don't know what it feels like to be waterboarded but I could easily tell you why it's immoral.

i mean now that i think about it, Cartman does discriminate indiscriminately

true and actully know what this word really means

crazy how people try to tell the victims of hate how they should react to it. especially considering racism and hate against black people is alive and well all over the world. like its not just a word. its considered hate speech for reason

​@@AtomicFoxMimi Exactly. Plus words like that are used to dehumanize people so it's easier to excuse torturing & killing them. It's just a word but so is "genocide". Both words can be used in justifiable ways (like if you're discussing the word or explaining an instance of genocide) but that doesn't mean those words can't be used in genuinely destructive ways. Besides, if someone is understandably offended by a certain word & you have no justification to use it at the moment, then that's like if someone with nerve damage told you being touched by ice feels like being stabbed to them so you touched them with ice & then said "Stop screaming. It's just ice." If you know it's gonna effect them that way & you still do it, they're not the bad one for being effected. You knew what would happen. But then, all Randy did was say the word because he thought he'd get money so Tolkien being upset about it kinda just seems like white people writing black people getting offended by a word for no reason because they don't understand black people, which is probably why the moral ended up being "White people can't feel basic empathy for black people & that's okay." Like as a bi person, I can understand why Tolkien would be uncomfortable hearing a slur against him & his kind in any context but his interactions with Stan made no sense. If he explained, Stan would've understood & realistically probably already did understand. Tolkien was just being kind of a douche for no reason except that he was mad for reasons that weren't Stan's fault & were only *kind of* Randy's fault. Like I'm not gonna tell other gay people they can't be uncomfortable when they hear someone call a cigarette a ᶠᵃᵍ but I once heard a gay person complain about Lost in Hollywood by System of a Down just because it had that word in it, like it's the band's fault she didn't like their word for an inanimate object. That's the kind of person Tolkien was being in that episode.

@@D_YellowMadness I agree with you on a lot of points. i also agree most white people wont know what it feels like to be black but leaving it at that felt a bit too black and white the way i see it as a black person i think Tolkien was annoyed at Stan for coming to him just because he's the only black kid in town being the token in any group feels like the weight of your whole race falls on you to not make your race look bad or trying to disprove certain stereotypes ive had white people randomly bring up rap in my presence or covertly because they think every black person is into only rap i like a lot of different music especially punk rock and Jrock and anime songs but they assume i like rap because im black or that i know of black shows or certain so called black food honestly its exhausting and i bet Tolkien was being an asshole about it because he was just tired of it plus cartman is always making every black thing his problem

​@@rjayshaun I'm not telling anyone how to feel. I'm explaining how some people feel. because that's the thing there are people like me who feel something when a slur flies our way just like there are apparently people like you who don't care i assume and you can continue to do so
