The fundamental underpinning of the CC roasts is that all jokes are OK (for the duration of the roast). Dead babies, race, child molestation, jokes about how a person is currently suffering disease or misfortune. All of it.

But those are generic insults that could apply to just about anyone you dislike. Roast insults are supposed to be supremely hyperspecific and reveal knowledge of the person being targeted.

It’s making the most insulting things you can think of for a person, where literally nothing is off limits.

They can be funny, when cleverly constructed. They also take a certain mindset and mood to appreciate.

Man, you don’t watch roasts.

I fully acknowledge the sexual agency of women who want to drink and want to hook up. That’s great for them. I also fully acknowledge that their sexual agency and desire is not on the minds of the majority of the men at that bar.

Not dehumanizing isn’t the same as forgiveness.

Those protesters should be outside the Judge’s house, or the statehouse, demanding reform.

Allowing all your righteous fury to get drained out directed at a single shitbag ignores the 7 other shitbags walking that street right now we want to stop. Allowing it to degenerate…

It’s a completely endless argument.
>that money would be better spent on X
>Do X
>how wasteful, when Y is so much more prevalent
>See, you are only tackling Y because it affects ____ people. People are suffering worse from Z
Repeat ad infinitum.

I have done this endlessly with people. I can only conclude there is no cause…

Didn’t he or she literally say “we need to teach our sons this”

Are we reading completely different messages?

Expressions of fury makes things worse literally ALL THE TIME, though.

I think the point is they are humanized as “not a rapist”.

Not like DH is, where a criminal is still a human.

Plenty of violent gang members love their mothers.
Plenty of killers love their kids.

Shitty cultural narratives make us want to believe these are mutually exclusive.

Where it is still very possible that someone…

Threatening to castrate someone while standing outside their house with weapons isn’t legal, though.


Unless I guess all that crap about credible threats of harm that keeps likely domestic abusers away, and protects stalking victims, just doesn’t apply anymore.

Counterpoint: Before awareness was raised about consent, before women’s sufferage and women’s rights, before all that.

When the concept of consent for marital sex was not “a thing”, were the majority of people getting married rapists? Were the majority of soldiers, raised to believe that sexual violence against the…

Getting a girl tipsy to get her into bed when he know she would normally have reservations about or be hesitant.

It’s like....... THE purpose of our current bar culture.

No one said to feel sorry for him. He or She said to not act like he’s an emotionless monster, as it’s this belief that helps everyone distance themselves from this rapist boogeyman, and lets actual rapists convince themselves they aren’t rapists. It lets parent’s deny their child could ever be a rapist. It lets…

That’s before all the Paul came along and rewrote the entire religion so he could convert some rich roman buddies.

Dude, if you buy the darn tough ones, they are guaranteed for life.

You just have to not lose them. If you wear through socks, it’s a stupid good deal.

I’m not even young. I just find people perpetually griping about young people amusing, and a neverending thread through history.

They always want to pretend that their complaints are new and innovative.

More loudly than the people who complain about these straw-millenials?

Wouldn’t you have the same outcome with nearly any elastomer film that has sufficient tensile strength, like even a weather balloon?
