And you lost me at "'Murica." (What type of people use that term anyway? I want to know. You know it's insulting. Why go out of your way to use it if not only to troll?)

And as far as the movie goes like you said, it's a satire. (And, IMHO, a pretty good satire.) And you've missed the point of it.

Redditors.

[mekkio]

You know, I heard so much hype about Reddit that when I finally went to it to see what all the fuss was about I was disappointed. It was like a more civilized, less X-rated, less anime 4chan. I don't get it.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been on redddit as well and the only horrible ones I run into are just trolls. I've seen awesome discussions , support groups and everything.

..inb4 someone calls me a shitstain who should die horribly.

[greenvelvetcake]

It depends on where you go. If you stick with the main subreddits, you'll want to pull out your hair, but some of the smaller, hobby-driven ones are great.

[greenvelvetcake]

Reddit uses 'MURICA like it's the funniest, edgiest joke in the world. We get it, you're all American fifteen year old suburban kids who want to rebel against the man. It's come around to the point of being a parody of a parody of a parody... which is still not funny.

[(Anonymous)]

And you've missed the point of the S!B. Pretty sure the fact that it's insulting is the very reason why OP used the term.


Also, what's it with you and getting so OTT offended about slang words for America/Americans? Like with the "USian" thing over the weekend, or whatever that was.

[mekkio]

Do you not get those slang words are insulting and are meant to be insulting otherwise they wouldn't be used?

Like calling an Irish person "mick" or an Italian a "wop."

[(Anonymous)]

that's nowhere near the same

[mekkio]

A derogatory name is a derogatory name.

It can't get any simpler than that.

[chardmonster]

...this really isn't anywhere near the same. US Citizen isn't your ethnicity.

[mekkio]

It has nothing to do with ethnicity. It's name calling based on someone's background.

[chardmonster]

Like calling an Irish person "mick" or an Italian a "wop."

Dude, no. This isn't the same.

You can't be racist against United States Citizens because that isn't a race or an ethnicity. You directly linked racist slurs (not really used too much anymore, though) to "USian."

This is beyond the fact that we're one of the two major super powers and nobody's really oppressing you by making fun of your country on the internet.

[(Anonymous)]

there are ethnic slurs for americans though, solely based on their country of residence/origin, as wop and mick are

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs_by_ethnicity#Americans

[mekkio]

Superpowers has nothing to do with it. I can't call an English person a "Limey" without it being considered a slur despite the fact that the UK is major player on the world stage.

Name calling is name calling. It has the same intention no matter who says it to whom.

[(Anonymous)]

It's only polite to call people what they want to be called. USian is not highly favored or known within the US and can be seen as spitting on a term Americans didn't even give themselves. It is rather unusual in this day and age for people to go about changing what people call themselves in their own language (estadosunidense has long been popular in Spanish, which makes the term even more aggravating for some).

'Murica in particular has connotations of rural, uneducated, conservative Americans so it stands to reason that the average American would prefer not to have their country called such.

[wauwy]

lol stop. No American with two braincells to rub together gives as fuck about "Murica." It's self-deprecating and fun.

My personal favorite is "Amerifats"

[mekkio]

So, you speak for everyone. Sorry, I didn't get that memo.

[chardmonster]

That's more or less a nonargument. Yay.

[(Anonymous)]

The main problem here is that the name US-Americans gave themselves (that being "Americans") has really fucked up connotations.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, how dare they hold on to a name for over two centuries. A name someone else gave them. The nerve of them.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

I didn't realize there was a problem with being called the United States of America. Since they are states which are united and are in North America. I mean, I really wouldn't have a problem if Canada had been called the United Provinces and Territories of America (Even Québec), because hey, that's exactly what we are. Personally, I've always found "America" pretty self centred, but then, look who we're talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, we always continue to do problematic things because we've done them for a long time. That is the reasoning we should follow, and I bow to your superb intelligence.

Or we could agree that calling the citizens of a single country on two continents by the identifier that also denotes anyone else from those continents with the firm expectation that people will know who we mean is really fucked up and stop doing it. US-American. Say it with me, it's not hard.

[(Anonymous)]

When you see somebody riding their fat ass into Wal-Mart in a little cart instead of walking, that's Murica.

;P It is pretty much a troll thing.
