People with Tourette's live a life that most of us would have nightmares about. At any moment a tic could occur, not unlike a sneeze, but the difference is that a sneeze doesn't hurt anyone.

This is a complicated discussion. We should be able to acknowledge that this man has literally zero control over his tics and that they do not represent him as a person, while also acknowledging that his tic was incredibly harmful and hurtful to the people who were on the receiving end of it.

A person with Tourette's is not the only person who suffers as a result of it, the people around them do as well and that is why it is such a horrible condition. The man did nothing wrong, he basically sneezed, but that doesn't mean the people on the receiving end aren't allowed to feel the way they do about what came out instead of a sneeze.

Yes, the man has literally no control over it; yes, we should be understanding of his condition; but, in the end, we are all human and words like this cut deep. They revive old trauma and make those on the receiving end feel less than human.

Given people seem to be unable to acknowledge the complicated nature of the discussion, we are locking the thread.

I can't believe the internet community they have fostered is unable to have a nuanced discussion

I love the fact that tourette's Guy just refused to apologize





Something something you don't have to hand it to em

[Boredfrom]

BCT: Apologize you fucking loony cracker piece of shit.  I don’t care is something you can’t control and you have apologized all your life for the sin of existing.

[Propagandhim]

I used your Colgate toothpaste. The one with tartar control. And it made me feel like a piece of SHIT.

[DavidCroquet]

yeah man i hate when safe spaces minimalize

[Greatness Gone]

Wouldn’t the natural thing to do after criticizing a fighting game tournament be to… stop playing the games those companies allow at the event?

How does it make sense to lose your shit over Evo doing a Saudi event, then turn around and play Street Fighter and Guilty Gear like, "I did what I could lol."

It's so funny that the trailer for the movie literally has those two bits

"Stop apologizing for something that isn't your fault"

And

"The problem isn't your tourette, it's that people don't understand tourette"

Also people seem to ignore that he actually left the awards to avoid further upset

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

is Free Palestine worse than saying the N-word? Black folx need to take a step back and think on that.

[BIONIC]

I love the oppression olympics taking place in that thread. Who is more oppressed, Tourette's sufferers or black folks??

31 pages of "no consideration".

[DavidCroquet]

also I think it's funny to see how vague the language is.

Black people never get "consideration"--what is consideration here? what does it look like? Do they get to take a free swing on the disabled guy?--in "these types of things"--what types of things? accidents? acts of god? uncontrollable outbursts?

Hitting Zeo with his own "what do you mean by this?" has rarely been so appropriate.

[Straight Edge]

That first panel must have been especially hard on you.

[Besticus Maximus]

You must remember that Nepenthe has extra special empathy powers, and is actually the most humane and kind judge of all. This is why it is NOT funny that she has gone on the attack about a guy who was in the news because he was in a film about how all of his life he's been judged as a bad guy because of his disability.

[Straight Edge]

Some brave person already saying “People with Tourette are the real victims. How dare you BBC and BAFTA to not be able to predict how awful the internet is going to react!”

This is just a horrible situation all around, the BBC & Bafta fucked up horrifically here.

My cousin has tourettes and seeing what he had to deal with and how it affected him when it first started manifesting was eye opening in a major way, he has tried to kill himself multiple times due to the embarrassment of it and the hurt it caused other people (he's now 19 and studying to be an equality and discrimination lawer, am way too proud of him) . Wasn't able to get in touch with him today but got his mum/my aunt and thankfully he's taken the smart decision to go offline for the next few days

Why am I conditioned to immediately assume this is TourettesSmasher?

I blame Benji.

FYI to Nepenthe a “pro-black space” is just a place where no one challenges her and everyone agrees with her opinions.

A place where there are no white people.

 User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns of Genocide

While they dug their own hole on Gaza, the media, the right wing machine, bad actors are amazing at making so many wedge issues into big national mountains out of molehills that not only make right leaning voters go their way but also put off centre and left voters from voting. It's plain as day online that people are being played on big issues to vote right and not vote, centre/left. While the Dems Gaza position was worthless, the online not voting hysteria was turned to 11 on that which just inevitably turned many people off, yes it was a massive issue and wrong but making a vote a one issue thing is a dream of the right and it works very well but it wasn't the only thing, the economy was huge and the right wing media machine just keep telling lies enough, you can't break through even if you are on the up with the economy, detail and long term plan doesn't work on some people, The Democrats should nullify these, that's a major part of the problem but the right wing machine is so strong, it's tough to break it but they should actually try more and get better at it.

Never forget.... what was his name.... Embiid?

She was so mad at a black man challenging her beliefs

DC is run by white liberals who don't view race as a priority. The way they've handled black history month is proof. Like only THREE variants, and like two blog post so far........

[Potato]

Not a fight. Just sick of certain a-holes here. urgh. What a shitty situation all around.

Personally, I blame the BAFTA idiots who created this exact situation without even considering whether something like this might happen. 

Two things can be right. Nobody should be called that anywhere, let alone live on stage, AND we can empathise with the guy who said it because he literally has no control...that's the disability he has and the film is specifically about showing how these things happen and have affected his life and the lives of those around him.

A separate issue is the completely retarded behaviour exhibited by people on Resetera who feel the need to take on others' pain as their own in order to win the stupid Oppression Olympics. We can laugh at that while still believing both of those other things to be true.

The BAFTAs fucked up and that's where any vitriol should be directed.

[Potato]

You're gonna have to give me at least 40 minutes Boredfrom, I can't read a fucking word right now.

Just did your hair?  Got some grease in your eyes? Got him again!

I'm not mad at Lonewulf.  It's not his fault.  I'm mad at everyone else on the forum that's just watching and coming up with excuses for this.  "Oh he doesn't have feelings, he's made of olive oil."  "Oh he can't understand English, it's fine."  Like, where did you all even get the epicureanist knowledge of olive oil in the first place?

Greece motherfucker. Italians are just Temu Greeks.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

I'm allowed to say this because most of my friends are Italians

That guy who wrote this btw:

The the 40 million deaths of the Great Leap forward are staggering, but it was "only" about 6.7% of the total chinese population at that time (around 670 million)

only got a warning. Guess Chinese are less important than Gaza

https://www.resetera.com/threads/til-the-meaning-of-islamism-and-islamist.1443376/

Now this one really surprised me I had always thought it was just another way of referring to the Islamic faith. Ie like Judaism or Buddhism.

But no it's the same as Christian fundamentalism, or similar to Christian Nationalism or even Zionism. And like those it quite often promotes violent extremism. It has literally flipped on stance on a few things.

Am I the only one?

[Chumbawumbafan69]

Holy shit, so many people being horrible about John online, calling him a racist piece of shit and worse.

  

I feel sad for the dude and the actors. More for the dude because he is going to be flamed to oblivion by retards that think they are morally superior to anyone.

It's a situation where it sucks for everyone involved and the Internet can't really handle that

Can someone break it down for me, who is Thanos in this situation?

BAFTA and the British 

(I think they fucked up in not editing the outbursts… but people are acting silly when they demand better “court rails” to prevent this specific situation. But we need to blame someone or anything rather than introspection  )
