rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

And if you LIKE what you read, also check out Mathew's other lesser-known books such as: Rag Doll (not for children but his best work to date), My Dog Forgot How to Read (talking eBook for children, no joke), Daisy Goes to the Moon (for children if your children are weird, but probably more for you), Back to Hollywood (if you can find it) and This Book is Called Counter (which you almost assuredly won't be able to find). Also look out for some of Mathew's short videos, stories and the like scattered about the Internet and library archives. Enjoy. America.

there it is.

Jesus, I bet everyone behind this book is REALLY regretting getting this ignorant dickhole to write it now.

Like, this interview is such an epic, revolting fail.

*steeples fingers* what's up with you

what am i missing

Did no one at Plume think to take a gander at Klickstein's bibliography before giving him the okay to write a book about a children's television network? It seems like some level of fallout was inevitable. Genuinely baffling.

all they needed to know was that he was white

btw, this thread is now so long that pagebacks no longer work

rolling "is this Racist NOW?" thread

Klickstein: "Haha, and you wanna know what other kind of 'backs don't work?" *bucket falls, passerby ignore man drowning in green slime*

No, it's ok. I made it sound like it came from someone else.

not sure i get the tupac shirt being racist, more kinda corny, but w/e

Flagged for failing to pluralize 'passersby'

Think goole was bringing us back to the original intent of this thread

I'd say not racist but does play into some tropes?

xxp "super kitschy" to be precise

idg how that's any different from any of the 100s of Tupac shirts I see a day

are you the mayor of tupacville?

Ha! Now when I'm on facebook I see the girl in the Tupac shirt on the sidebar.

im not sure its racist but it does seem like a really dumb idea

i think i'm mostly offended by them describing it as "super kitschy"

for some reason that feels a bit off in ways pertaining to this thread, idk

i don't know if it's racist but i'd say there's a difference between the million tupac RIP tribute shirts and a shirt that turns his face into wallpaper

i feel a bit off looking at it but i cant really put my finger on whats fucked up about it

xp the disembodied head aspect definitely comes into play!!

i think it's maybe just the reductive bubble head thing, like lowering a fairly tragic figure like tupac to the level of a fictional joke character like george costanza or something.

the model isn't helping that feeling

do you think there would ever be a "kitschy" disembodied kurt cobain head wallpaper shirt?

tupac crop top -> biggie crown top -> rugrats crop top

hmmmmmm

i could see a disembodied dave grohl head wallpaper shirt but that's because he's juuuust a bit bacony.

but even that, probably not. that would be on etsy, not sold through a huge retail store.

tbf, disembodied kurt cobain head evokes a very different image

The posting in FB about the event being cancelled and ensuing comment amusement.

Also, they've already found another venue and this event is back on, apparently.
