Will you ignorant Dobson please shut the hell up?!

Small distraction from the few things I want to post soon today or tomorrow, but I think this might fall into the category “entertainingly ironic” and “unfortunately problematic” when it comes to Dobson.

Right now I am going through a few old threads on Dobson and the stuff he has posted over the years for the sake of research and I stumbled upon THIS old twitter post of his, where he states he is baffled at certain comments he got, without really elaborating on it further

Yeah. According to his own statement, Dobson was called the N-word around the time he got into slapfights with Gamergate after his Vivianne James comics.

Now I will say the following: I do believe that the word has become one of the ugliest in the human language, as it has been used in context of the oppression and dehumanization of black people within the western world. I know of variations of the word that are in relation to certain contexts meant to be less offensive, but even then their usage is highly debatable and I do not enourage people to use it on an every day basis. “Unfortunately” though, I know a certain context where calling Dobson that word is rather fitting. And here it is:

What you see here is a scene from the ninth episode of season 1 from the tv animated series “The Boondocks”. The episode is titled “Return of the King” and aired on January 15th 2006 . The episode itself is centered around the AU idea of Martin Luther King not having been assassinated in the 60s, but instead falling into a coma thanks to the shooter and awakening in “modern” America to learn what black culture had turned into. The entire episode in itself being a very sarcastic and cynic criticism of black entertainment and culture nowadays, turning it into a far cry of the battles the people had to fight in the civil rights movement. This speech in itself, despite it’s political incorrect nature by using the n-word, being essentially a call out to people who complain about how black people are mistreated in society, but acting themselves like utter fools and the worst stereotypes out there (like lets say an american acting like a gun wielding racist cowboy, or a german as lederhosen wearing nazi etc.) in doing so just adding to the state of oppression and prejudice still being a thing.

Now reception of the episode has been kinda mixed over the years, but personally I and others think the speech is pretty damn good, as it does point out in a very dark way the worst aspect of any “movement”. The false “ally” and complainer, who has no idea even on the bigger issues and instead focuses on minor shit while acting as the worst version of themselves possible.

(btw, proof here that black people are also okay with this scene)

Anyway, how does this speech “correlate” to Dobson? Well, let me just remove the n-word from part of  the speech, replace it with Dobson’s name and tell me, if any of Martin Luther King Jr.s description of Dobson sounds accurate or not:

And you don't want to be a Dobson. Because Dobsons are living contradictions. Dobsons are full of unfulfilled ambitions. Dobsons wax and wane. Dobsons love to complain. Dobsons love to hear themselves talk but hate to explain. Dobsons love being another man's judge and jury. Dobsons procrastinate until it's time to worry. Dobsons love to be late. Dobsons hate to hurry! [...]

So... yeah.

If we associate the n-word as something meant to describe a genuinely lazy, hypocritical, always complaining person with a huge ego and judgemental perosnality trait that does nothing with the life and chances given to him... 

EDIT: BTW, here is also the source for that tweet, so you know I am not faking those posts:

And when I speak there's spiders and cockroaches crawling out of my mouth as what I say is never pretty

What is a word you really hate?

Not because of the meaning of the word, but the word on its own, the way it sounds.

I’ll start:

Preggo and preggers. I just... I really hate the way those words sound, you know? xD

i watch it all dissipate, stomach twisted, pin-pricked skin,

lips raw - bitten down words, spinning room, i'm running in circles...

.

i cut out my tongue to ask what it did wrong

open the cabinet, my heart's been hung

carve another piece away, pray, maybe they'll stay

maybe i'll shatter, the silence will shake, hands quake

ugly crawls out of my skin, a warped mirror with a twisted grin

it whispers to me, pulls me in, i struggle in its grasp and i watch it all dissipate.
