(Legitimate question from an ignorant person): Does schizophrenia work like that?
― Walter Galt, Monday, 20 February 2012 13:46 (twelve years ago) link
in my experience bipolar disorder is the one where in a manic episode people will say all kinds of really offensive shit that they don't mean. but the "schizophrenia" update looks to me like the person herself trying to come up with an out & landing on an untested one, or an extreme iteration of "he was depressed." paranoid schizophrenia involves delusions of grandeur/persecution & firm, fixed ideation, not quick backpedaling

So: There's a thing called Google Takeout, which is an initiative to increase your ability to get your data out of Google, if you want to. And it's run by an internal Google team who have called themselves the Data Liberation Front, more than a little tongue in cheek. And this is their logo:

I genuinely don't know whether this is offensive, or stupid, or whether I'm just being over sensitive. But it does remind me of the article about Rand Paul and the TSA from the GOP thread.

The logo shows bits breaking free of shackles. I am not really seeing where the racism would come into play...?

Maybe it's that the fist has a lot of connotations to black power (obviously it's used in other contexts) and using to symbolize the ability to download your contacts from Google+ kinda trivializes that?
― beachville, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 12:44 (twelve years ago) link
I was under the impression that that particular fist was actually a universal symbol whose associations reach well beyond the black power movement.

xxp: I'm trying to get at the heart of why Andrew thought it racist.
― beachville, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 13:02 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, racist is not I suppose exactly where I was going, though I did initially connect it with the Black Power movement (I think this is bizarrely just because... there's an arm?). I lolled at the Librarians as well, but at least they are (to varying levels of ridiculousness across their membership) struggling under some sort of oppression, where, as beachville says, reusing the iconongraphy for contacts download seems kind of O_o.

I don't think I had every looked in detail to the AIM's logo before, but god forgive me the peace sign just says "bunny ears" to me.

I may have just leapt back from the monitor, having spotted the face that they are being the bunny ears to.

I think the fingers are feathers, not a peace sign.

I'll go out on a limb and say that this article, published earlier this week in the online magazine Alternative Right run by the ex-editor of Taki's Mag and The American Conservative, and associate of Steve Sailer, John Derbyshire, Pat Buchanan, et. al. (group photo:http://www.hlmenckenclub.org/Home.html ), is possibly racist..

I saw large sticker version plastered on one of those temporary doors they put up when subway stations are half-closed for construction, took a picture of it, used it for phone background for a long time.

This was after the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and the most famous raised-fist black power salute of all time, but when I was in high school in 1970 my older sister, who was in college, gave me a t-shirt with a blood-red fist stenciled on it with the words "On Strike! Shut it down!". This was in the weeks just after the Cambodian invasion, the Kent State and Jackson State killings, when college campuses all over were shut down in war protest. I wore it often enough it wore out.
I tried to use GIS to find a similar image, but couldn't. It was not considered in any way racist at the time, but a universal symbol of resistance and solidarity.
