    At least a couple of Kitboga’s calls have originated in India, but all the characters he plays are as upstanding as they come. Except for this one time at Dave & Buster’s. Kit:

    • never wishes for the plague
    • always respects all varieties of English
    • always respects that not everyone calling everyone else is US-based
    • never uses slurs, and Kit’s
    • never gonna give you up

      Kitboga’s “more Kitboga” channel has gotten me through so many work days. He’s one of the most insanely funny and talented dudes I’ve never seen.

    I genuinely don’t understand why you would subscribe to a community about 4chan greentexts and not expect to see shocking language. Its like going to the beach and being upset that theres sand.

    The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don’t know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

    Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there’s no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can’t make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can’t beat em join em.

      lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn’t

    The problem with using dehumanising language like this is that it means that someone’s humanity, in your eyes, is contingent on your approval.

    It says more about you as a person than it does about the people you criticise.

      Fuck that. I don’t care where they’re from. Scammers don’t deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. They are subhuman trash and ruin people’s lives.

          While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.

          I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

          Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

          Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

            Using racial slurs isn’t only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.
