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

Well, he didn't! 🤣

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 😎

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

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.

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

What?

Congratulations u beat the bot

or you could just not say the word its that easy

@@AtomicFoxMimi with how often it's present in that general of music it's easier to just not sing the song than it is to remember every instance of the word and make a conscious effort to skip them. Like honestly just try to sing Justin Bieber s song baby, without ever saying the word baby and tell me how that turns out.

@@hippiedude2232 i get it. but i also think its more impossible to hope that it wont be used in rap. i mean rap/hip hop started out as breaking the mold and expressing the feelings of the injustice. just as long as you don't say the world in front of the wrong people you should be fine.

It's one of the many reasons I hate most rap songs. They overuse "ⁿᶦᵍᵍᵃ" & "ᵇᶦᵗᶜʰ" so much it's just cringe. I once heard a rap song start (I think it was in the credits of GTA5) & I said "he's gonna say "ⁿᶦᵍᵍᵃ" or "ᵇᶦᵗᶜʰ" in the first sentence." He surpassed my expectation by using *both* in the first sentence. I have occasionally heard a song I actually like that uses "ⁿᶦᵍᵍᵃ" though & it's kind of annoying because I don't like saying it but it kills the flow of a song you have stuck in your head if you keep skipping over a certain word. So I'd say it but it always damaged the mood of the song.

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.

what's the c word?

but the point is that its been used for decades to dehumanize black people. its hate speech because of its ties to racism and hate crimes like lynching's. if someone called you a cracker you wouldn't have had to worry about being killed along side that word.

@@buffbeluga9541bro is trying to say cracker is the same as the n word LMFAOO. LIKE NO SHIT IT DOESN’T BOTHER YOU.

and? its a word taken and reformed by the victims of hate into something that's completely different from its original intended use. it can be used as a term of endearment or derogatory just like a lot of different words but its not usually used as a form of hate against our own people. also saying "its just a word" is one of the most stupid things ever. for example if something is labeled caution hot! doesn't that warn you that there is the potential to be burned. if someone calls themselves a Christian, doesn't that give you some inkling of what their beliefs are.

By *some of* the people it offends. I'm not black but I see this same point used against gay people all the time & it's ridiculous. I'm bi & I would never call anyone a ᶠᵃᵍ but just because some insanely stupid people who are gay do it, people act like that negates all the basic logic for why you shouldn't do it. Similarly, people act like the "Q" in "LGBTQ" is empowering & that it's totally cool to call people ᑫᵘᵉᵉʳ now just because some pretentious morons on the internet told every single gay person is cool with it now. None of the various gay people I've met have used any of those terms around me.

@@rjayshaun thats cool, thats you. not everyone feels that way and no its not just a word

@@rjayshaun i hear what you're saying but apathy isn't going to solve the problem because people do care people are hurt people die i wish it was that easy and although we disagree i hope you have a wonderful day/night

@@D_YellowMadness It's a bit reductive to label any gay person who's reclaiming a slur used against them as "insanely stupid". As the group that it was targeting it is 100% within our rights to use it, so long as it isn't in that same derogatory manner. Obviously no blanket statement is going to apply to all people in a massive group. I'm a lesbian with a group pretty much entirely consisting of various queer people, and while I'm one of my only friends who doesn't use the f-word, that's moreso due to my disdain for using curses rather than the word in particular. Your reality there though is just as valid as mine, and I completely agree that calling somebody either of those words if they personally don't feel comfortable with it is wrong. There's a pretty important distinction to be made between what we say around and call our friends, and the kind of language we use towards people we don't know or who might be more sensitive to the historical evils of certain words. The real moral here is honestly just don't refer to people in ways they don't feel comfortable with, and that's a pretty universal message a lot of people still need to understand.
