DC United staff member sacked for making hand gesture

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Is a thumbs up still ok or will some twat be offended because they identify with it meaning you want to shove your thumb up their arse?

I got told just yesterday that the thumbs up emoji is now seen as passive aggressive. What the fuck???

You could always have told them to look up passive in a dictionary ;)

Oh do fuck off. Are you suggesting that everyone who was brought up in the 1970’s were racist?? Growing up, I never heard of that word, now it’s become the go to word if you don’t agree with someone of colour or more importantly, people being offended on behalf of others, who actually don’t feel offended …!!

Plenty around manchester were very aware of that word, unless I imagined it...

Rock Against Racism - the day Manchester and its bands stood proud against the far right

Tens of thousands of people came together to challenge the scapegoating narrative of racist groups like the National Front.

People have registered and implied that the 70's weren't that good or simple and that you shouldn't refer to them as such.

The new world order is upon us and your opinion means nothing if it doesn't fall into line with the group think, they will eat themselves soon mate.

Who will eat themselves?
The group thinkers or the indivisualists?
(Or both?)

I think all this is just a massive lack of education and desperation to not offend anyone, just because you dont like something or dont agree with it does not mean it should not exist, as ricky gervais said how arrogant do you have to be to go through life thinking that nothing should offend you.

Being offended is quite simply subjective and has everything to do with you as a person or a collective, so this guy has lost his job because he threw up that sign which some people apparently no find offensive, well i dont find it offensive and im offended that he lost his job because of it, is he going to get his job back, why is what they're offended by more important than what im offended by, thats the question that needs to be asked

Is it not just effective sign language that I use with my daughter's all the time when they are out of speaking distance?

Not sure I like the idea that I may be embroiled in a race-hate argument for checking in with my girlies.................

You can't call them 'girlies', it's misogynism.


Probably.
