So because other people who could take offence to them don't, I'm not allowed to???? Well, as a newcomer to this site I was not familiar with all the different quirks on this board. When you come onto a board and the first thing you see is a bunch of racist comics with everybody laughing at them, it is a little worrying and offending, to say the least.
It wasn't so much the content of the comics that offended me, it was the title. It really did seem quite malicious. Yes, I did read the comics, and if they didn't have such a racist title I would have known they were a joke, but with that title it makes them twice as offending.
But they did have racist malice!! Saying Fuck The Scottish is racist, whether you like it or not! You might choose to be in denial about the whole thing, but it IS racist. Charged in??? I posted one topic about my comics, admittidly crap, got shrugged off as another dickhead newbie with no respect at all (and also effectively got told to die in the process, something which I, as a suicidal depressive since 5 found pretty upsetting), saw a topic directing racism towards my country and got offended, posted a reply and yet again got shrugged off as another dickhead newbie and got the usual patronising 3 sentence reply that I've seen so many people use (or similiar altered ones) so many times on other message boards. I recommend you have a look at your community as it's almost impossibles for newbies to break into your circle of friends and quirks and maybe try to be more open and respect other people's opinions.
I'm begining to suspect you didn't even read my last post, I said I over-reacted and I am sorry for doing that, I am a little bit touchy to the subject, as I said, because racsm is not unfamiliar to me. I don't think the comics are racist, I think the writer wrote them not realising that they could be offensive, but to be honest the titles really do make me doubt that. Yes I am over-sensitive, extremely, it's not something I like about myself, I'm sorry.
No, I'm not going to let one or two incidents affect my views of this place (but I'll probably have forgotton about this site by tomorrow :D), I'm sure you're all very nice people and I hope this has been just one big msunderstanding and the 'fuck the scottish' titles were just a joke that the writer didn't really think about and realise they were actualy racist. I hope you still like me, I really didn't set out here to make enemies, just I got a little offended and annoyed :)
