ONTDers vs ONTDmods
ONTD Bans Off Topic Comments.

This leads to wank aaaall over the place. My favourite is Bitching at the mods for being racist! which is true (which has a special guest star: how dare you say Jesus wasn't white!)

As I continue on: More bitching about double standards go here.

But really, I'm only on page 3 and there's so much wank it makes me teary-eyed.

Page 6 brings the best possible defense for OT comments possible.

inorite? Who on Earth would pull out the "I'm not racist!" card when they have an icon like that?

Asshats always defend their asshattery, but I'm more pissy at the people accusing the person who pointed out he's an asshat of being an oversensitive troll.

Srsly, though it is funny that the racist mod went off topic completely in that post. Actually I find it hilarious.

Indeed. It reeks of speshul snowflakism. "No one gets to go off-topic but me!"

ONLY WHEN I AM DEFENDING MYSELF IS OT WELCOME!

It has been spoken from on high! And his defenders can also get off topic.

If it's the truth and he just somehow forgot to get rid of it (::coughyearightcough::), then talk about a really stupid brainfart.

Seriously. He keeps saying "it's a fad that will go away soon" but obviously he just likes to stir shit up.

ONTDmods are seriously some of the wankiest people ever. o_O

Is this some kind of ONTD injoke? It's still not funny, or ok... but it would at least explain why that guy is under the impression that he's being wrongfully maligned (Protip: he isn't).

I honestly have no idea. If there was some weird ONTD racist icon meme/contest, then 1) it happened in an OT thread and 2) it should have died a lot faster. If it's from somewhere else, then wtf is it doing on ONTD??

:/

Even if it was, the icon is so blatantly offensive that such a meme could never be funny, ever.

Well... nearly nothing at ONTD is funny... so I guess it's fitting?

Coon Chicken was an actual business for several decades in the first half of the 1900's. In the film Ghost World, the main character uses a poster from a same-named business to make a statement about how things that are considered racist now were considered ok only decades before. It may be a reference to that, but I don't know.

Well yes but umm, that's why it's called the past?

See, as little as a hundred and fifty years ago it was A OK to ya know... own people and use them as human cattle. And as little as eighty years ago it was cool to keep women from voting.

So... still not funny?

I'm not saying it's funny or agreeing with it. I'm just giving it more context. It wasn't meant to be funny in the film, either.
