The Bring Pearl Jam to Israel Campaign

[lowlight79]

Have you seen the "Admit Something" thread? There's butt sex everywhere in there.

Butt sexx is strictly for the teen mom thread under art & entertainment.

Looks like things are heating up again.

We had a few complaints about some of the stuff that was in there. this is a shared space and our primary concern is to make sure people are comfortable in it.

I have a feeling everyone will survive this gross injustice, although my heart bleeds just a little bit for all you free speech warriors.

Did anyone honestly complain about

It's Jew. It's Jew. It's Jew Jew Jew

?

What if they did?

If they did, I'd seriously question why they'd be offended by the word "Jew".

Well done you. You should ask Stip for their numbers.

I'm loving this heat, guys.

Well, no, because no one complained about that post. I'm at a loss as to why all the posts were deleted and not just the offensive ones.

... I can see why people would see them as either offensive or feel uncomfortable about the attitudes of people here.

Yeah, not really.

Yeah, kike is a totally unoffensive word. But, like, yeah, totally not like, I say things but I don't really mean them at least not in the way you think I intended it except when you think what I said was kind of cool, unless you're not that cool, in that case not really.

wtf? "jew" is short for "jewish". "kike" is just offensive and derogatory.

[WtOB?]

OMG THIS IS SO GREAT!!

[Jorge]

Also, it's absurdly hilarious to me that RM would be outraged about some Jew-themed puns while acting completely cavalier about horrifically racist posts in the past ("In the Coonlight", anyone?), or more recently the army of straight dudes defending Josh Homme's use of the word "fag" in the QotSA thread.

IN WITH A LEFT + RIGHT FROM PLATY!

THERE'S SO MUCH HEAT FLYING AROUND PJCHAT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!

[Jorge]

Shut the fuck up, adam, you're being annoying as hell.

I hope the sarcasm was obvious. And if someone makes a play on Hitchhiker and then someone follows right back with something that uses "Jew", rather than making a comment on the previous slur then it's rather different than someone just using the word "Jew".

If people aren't happy and take the time to email Stip then I think he is right to take them down or at least make a comment about posting. And yes that might involve a few posts being deleted that were benign. If people want to get on a high horse about Freedom of Speech then that's fine but this is a moderated board. A few months ago people were "riffing" on Pearl Jam song names that referenced sexual abuse of children which I found massively offensive and said so, only to get responses like some here "where's your sense of humour?!" Fortunately that thread was deleted. I don't know why people can't accept that their lame jokes might possibly offend people.

You should try a ghost chili.

[dimejinky99]

In the very unlikely event that PJ ever played Israel, I'd personally boycott them right then and there.

Right on, you make sure those Israeli Pearl Jam fans learn their lesson.
