to mitigate the dogpile because, given the subject matter I think it's totally understandable and unsurprising that emotions might boil over here, I think that if Gottfried's jokes had been less (for lack of a better word) lazy, I wouldn't have found them repellent
his ass still would have gotten fired tho
xp: I always find it interesting how ppl use arguments like this to take the opportunity to type the word "nigger" like they just got a hall pass or something

Obviously I shouldn't have said what I did about wishing death on TamTam's family, but I was outraged that he would be defending those tasteless jokes. But, yeah, it wasn't cool of me to do so. I just don't get the idea that we all need to protect people's right to be tasteless assholes, but pile on anyone that might not like that. I mean, I know we live in an era of "lol this is the internet we say what we want get a helmet" etc etc, but goddamn I think its okay to be offended by stuff now and then.

Those jokes are the sorts comedy writers spit out when they're all sitting together at a table together, late at night, spitballing. With no one listening. GG's biggest mistake was not coming up with 25 more until he found a funny one, and then just tweeting that one winner.

I think it's an indication of odd priorities to bother getting outraged at ilxors when giant swaths of coastal Japan are simply gone and people are being evacuated and quarantined for radiation. I mean, OUTRAGED isn't very useful, is it?

I'm literally the only person on this thread who defended GG's jokes - at best a few other people had ambivalent 'eh they should've known what they were getting into w/Gottfried' responses. I think you just enjoy this 'one righteous guy against the world' schtick regardless of reality.

Jon this is like the whole markers img posts thing all over again. I think being so defensive just makes ppl more likely to jump all over you. I think there are probably a lot of people on your side and some have said as much here! You're sort of asking for the pile on by keeping this up, you know?
― ENBB, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link

One person defended gottfried, but a whole bunch of posters itt have jumped on me for being offended about it.
― 'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link
no they jumped on you for being kinda a dick
― iatee, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link
jumping on you for being offended about it doesn't make any sense cause they were also offended about it
― iatee, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 15:19 (thirteen years ago) link
you are literally getting mad at everyone else for not being mad in 100% exactly the same manner as you and inventing positions for them so that you can yell a lot and feel sorry for yourself
it isn't really making any sense
― ancient, but very sexy (DJP), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 15:20 (thirteen years ago) link
No, I'm taking it personally because the whole vibe I seem to be getting is "chill bro, its okay to make fun of dead people".

Jon, including myself, have been trying to make you feel better by explaining why ppl got on your case. If you can't see that then I don't really know what to say and the fact that you haven't dropped it and continue to post like this means that at least on some level you must enjoy feeling persecuted.

jon, was that thread you started out of the blue a couple of weeks ago that was all "sorry for jumping all over everyone for no reason" that confused the hell out of everyone an elaborate setup for this? because if so, I can only applaud the dedication to craft
if not... I am very concerned about you
