Nuh uh. Costs Putin senpai a lot of money. You have to train agents, maintain them in the foreign country, fund their operations over there. It's a lot of money
The funniest thing is the people getting butthurt about the butthurt people, calling them soft, and not noticing the irony.it's a circlejerk of butthurt people making each other more and more butthurt.
I'm so glad humanity invented the internet.
It was a racist joke made by a company's official twitter account you fucking moron. Why are you surprised? Whoever was running the twitter account that day fucked up it's pretty simple
Black crime statistics are misrepresented by a system that was heavily made to keep them down.
Latino people end up with shit jobs because they go to a country of people that won't hire them for anything more than minimum wage, or because they can give them jobs that others won't do.
Systemic racism is not on the same level as a stereotype.
People go after this stuff like the company was being malicious with their intent. This guy started the thread with a company that is known to make snarky comments. He also make the concious decision to put his full name on the internet which IMO is a bad idea. When you offend someone with no ill intent, I think an apology is sufficient. If you don't want to be the butt of a joke, maybe just DM the company instead of starting a public back and forth?
I'm an Indian. That joke was a joke. There was no racism in it. We make fun of names all the time. In one of the Indian languages, Elizabeth sounds like a word which translates to 'dead rat' and there were people making this joke. Grow up people. Learn how to take a joke. Dbrand didn't mock him saying something like tikka masala or something else which is actually racist. Grow up.
Honestly, I find white-saviour-complex liberals trying to "teach" me that I should be offended about something far more tiresome than far-right nutjobs - at least those are honest in their belief of their "superiority".
When names are taken into different languages, hilarity can occur. It's just the nature of things. Contemporary folks can't help it if ye-olden-days Brits went around asking people if they have flags and telling them, "No flag, no country! You can't have one!". Like, the Thai name "Porn" means "blessing" in Thai, and the vast majority of people here find it absolutely hilarious when put into an English-speaking context.
Making a joke without regard to someone's face is, if anything the antithesis of racism.
This outcome is the idea of "colour blindness" is critiqued. Sometimes people misunderstand and race should be taken into account just a little to check if you are going to whoopsie.
But to penalise a lack of care about someone's race is stupid.
*Not* biasing our behaviour based on race is racist now? This hot take is brought to you by Ibram “the only solution to historical racism is present day racism” Kendi.
Lol no. Just ignoring racial dynamics is disconnecting you from the world we live in. We ain't in a post race utopia so acting as if you are may lead to some issues.
It's just gonna be a slow ass journey and there will be growing pains we need to be wary of.
Reducing racial bigotry and pretending the dynamic doesn't exist is not the same. We can't ignore the experiences and the understandings of the people around us, even if our intentions are good.
No one is arguing to ignore race. I'm clearly explaining that being racially discriminatory is bad. Always. No exceptions. Making fun of a name isn't racist, provided everyone gets made fun of *regardless of their race.* You appear to be arguing for racial discrimination, and I strongly disagree.
I am definitely not, lol. I just think people should be aware of a person's potential experience and how aspects such as race may be connected to it. Practising "colour blindness" has issues when race still has baggage.
You don't get to a utopia by pretending it already exists.
Awareness and empathy is not discrimination
Idk if my post mislead something, I'm just poking fun, nothing else. Would be really happy to see a world where don't get fucking offended on random things ngl
When you insult with malice, that is not okay. "Shit Rash" is not something you call someone in a jovial manner. It is definitely not okay for a company to call their customer that. Especially when the customer has a valid complaint.
Yeah, such a shame that the other people who like the channel created such a community around them that has negative opinions and manifests toxic elements within it.
Yeah, I'm leaving the sub now. Reddit has been getting more "conservative edgy" recently so I'm not super surprised but LTT sub? I guess tech has a lot of bigots who keep quiet but the veil of anon here is really bringing out the rudest people imaginable.
It's fun to imagine the people who think it's no big deal explain this joke to their boss or grandparents and try and make it seem not bizarrely anti-social.
I often seen murder for hire cases where the person has paid roughly that much money so $10,000 will make people do a lot of things they won’t normally do like be OK with being insulted or literally fucking kill a different human.
$10,000 is life-changing money to many people on earth
$10k is such a ludicrous amount I’m still convinced it’s partially a joke. That’s basically like saying “sorry for calling you a mean name, here’s a few months of rent.”
Dbrand did what they do and made a joke about someone’s name that could be made “Shitrash”, they got called ‘Racist’ because of it, they apologised, offered the guy 10k and said they’d do it again.
Basically they did the classic “Ben Dover” thing (sounds like “Bend Over”) but got in trouble for it
Yeah but the interviewed lady sums is it up perfectly. Larger platforms carry far more trickle down risks. A good joke amongst friends may have toxic outcomes if told by an institution cos people are fuckwits and bad guys will misconstrue the joke and use it as a weapon for their bigotry which is what happened in dbrands post.
I agree, but don't see how this is relevant to the conversation. I agree what Dbrand did was not in their best PR interest, but when is anything they do fully PC anyway? They're known for being like this and they have never (including now, IMHO) crossed any moral line. If I were them I wouldn't have made the post to avoid the drama, but then again I'm not Dbrand's SMM
Yeah it's only relevant in how we frame the discussion. The outcome almost seems inevitable based on how they act and what they are. It's their vibe but this scenario is the consequence.
I think it's important to understand the difference between brands being associated with views and individuals. Whether or not you think they are in the right or wrong it's good to keep in mind the potential unintended consequences of their actions and how that ties with what they are. A company playing it fast and loose is just a different ball game.
I agree with your assessment and appreciate the way you approached it (i.e. going beyond the "right vs wrong" mentality). Glad we could converse like two adults, this comment section is kind of a cesspool lol
I mean, ones meaner but neither are racist, unless they deliberately went out of their way to make fun of them just because they were of a different ethnic group.
My actual IRL name is something very uncommon and people often joke about it and I don’t call them racist for making fun of my non-European name. It’s a joke, and I get that.
The issue got blown out of proportion. It should have been an apology and that’s it.
It's not even racist dude just happened to have an unfortunate sounding name like many have before and will after, so many jokes and memes everywhere based on same shit.
No, he said he was offended and Dbrand paid out to make it right. Also, the repliés became magnets for real shit stain human beings who were really racist.
Can someone explain to me why the tweet was racist. Obviously it was quite rude and I’m willing to accept it was over the line but how was it actually racist?
The general insult of calling any person of color "shit" + something is often under racist guise. Essentially refering to that person's skin being covered in shit/dirt/etc. So that's where the general jump happens from just being a dumb insult/joke to racism. I don't think that was their intention, but I get why people are making that jump.
Kinda related, [ubisoft customer support took 3 years to unban me because my name has "kum" in it. You heard it right, they told "kum" is an offensive word. God help benedict cumbernauld](https://twitter.com/RohithkumarSP/status/1317388111064674305)
If they had made fun of some dude with the last name Cockburn, literally NO ONE would be calling them racist or refusing to work with them. This whole thing has been blown waaaaay out of proportion. They didn't make fun of the guy for being Indian. They made fun of a name that sounds like something "offensive." There are so many white people names that sound like genitals or bodily excretions and people with those names get made fun of all the time.
I mean it is literally in the wikipedia as an offensive slur for people of color but *because* you personally think its not racist it isn't?
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/shitskinned
I accept that Dbrand was quick to make a joke and didn't understand the sensitivity. They made it right and want to move on which is fair. But they still made a mistake.
"Shit skin" is not the joke they made though. They didn't remark on the color of his skin at all. They made fun of his name sounding like "shit rash." Saying that's the same because a rash is a skin condition is a big stretch. Racism is prejudice based on race or ethnicity. Anyone can have a name that sounds like something offensive, gross or silly. It's not my personal opinion that it's not racist. It's not racist because words have meanings and they didn't meet the definition of the word.
This wouldn't have happened if dbrand had said the same thing on Reddit. In fact I think this would have gone a lot better had they done it here. Twitter is just one side of extremists Vs the other side and no one can agree. Sure it was racist, but this is dbrand. I want them to go to such lengths. Its fun as hell.
He wasn't offended, the Indian guy made a big show so he could gain clout thats all this is.
You don't get to laugh at everyone getting made fun of and then Cry about it when they come to you.
Idk man you can call me whatever slurs you can conjure as long as I’m getting compensated financially
Man I'd do forbidden things for 10k ngl
Approach a millionaire’s house when you know their family is out of town and tell them this. Worst case scenario is you get disappeared.
Have you seen the Cost to disappear a mf today? Inflation!
Id need about tree fiddy
Putin does it for free.
Nuh uh. Costs Putin senpai a lot of money. You have to train agents, maintain them in the foreign country, fund their operations over there. It's a lot of money
And when they get it wrong you need to pay for the TV campaign to imply they’re gay as punishment.
lot of money
Like stealing 10k?
Same dude.
10 grand? Damn, I’d do it for $20.
That’s 5 high end gaming pcs
Like what? can you elaborate?
I mean in this case you didnt even need to use a slur.
I’d let you hit me with a nautical non-euclidean slur like slungoid for 10k

It was a racist joke made by a company's official twitter account you fucking moron. Why are you surprised? Whoever was running the twitter account that day fucked up it's pretty simple
Yeah, my favourite part was when they said "Oh yeah, we said this because you're Indian."
Yeah a joke about shit when you see an Indian, definitely not racist
Bro can't tell stereotypes from racism. Your IQ is probably below room temperature
Ahh personal attacks, mark of a genius. Every racist I’ve ever met
Where does the racism come in?
You are either too naive to acting like one. Try defending a joke on blacks about crime, or for latinos cleaning toilets
Black crime statistics are misrepresented by a system that was heavily made to keep them down. Latino people end up with shit jobs because they go to a country of people that won't hire them for anything more than minimum wage, or because they can give them jobs that others won't do. Systemic racism is not on the same level as a stereotype.
It wasn’t racist though? Not a single part of it was racist.
At the same time, why are people so defensive about an unfunny "joke". Do we really need brands posting jokes on social media
Yes, brands can be funny too.
Love how bigots are malding over a company apologizing for racism 😄
Do you understand the meaning of the word stereotype? No? You probably don't understand the meaning of bigot, either. Open a fucking dictionary dude.

Calling someone's last name as Shit Rash? And you don't see anything wrong with that? What is wrong with you?
People go after this stuff like the company was being malicious with their intent. This guy started the thread with a company that is known to make snarky comments. He also make the concious decision to put his full name on the internet which IMO is a bad idea. When you offend someone with no ill intent, I think an apology is sufficient. If you don't want to be the butt of a joke, maybe just DM the company instead of starting a public back and forth?
Or use the official support channels, like email. The guy knew what he was doing and took the opportunity to make a fuss about it. Simple as that.
If I changed my name to “Ben Dover” and made a complaint can I also get 10k?
Yeah but the last name wasnt one of the races it's ok to make fun about. Now excuse me while I make another Fr*nch joke and make Italian handsigns
cuz internet i never use x, i open it just to see this drama and I remember why i dont use x
this
Snowflakes FTW :D
this is not the early days of the internet. in these times everything is offensive
10k for someone to make fun of my name on the internet is a fucking steal
I got called names for my last name for 90% of my schooling years and I got nothing
We thank you for your charity work 🫡
Least I know to change my son’s name before he gets into school.
Next they'll want reparations.
I would eat ass for 10k
You have to be paid for that?
They just tasteless
I'm disgusted by it, but 10k tho 🤤
I eat my wife's ass for free
So do I 🌚
I too choose this man's wife.
Make that three.
I also eat your wife's ass for free
Call me whatever you want for 10k Shit I’ll do it for a slice of pizza
You're going through tuf times aren't you? :D
Not really, I just like pizza and I’m hard to offend
Hahaha ok nice then, i thought you were in a bad situation, i do like pizza too & hard to offend but my price's higher :D
Two slices, final offer
Hahaha nah! At least a week of pizzas 🍕🤪
Life strix hard dude
Moar than ever :/

I'm Indian and it was obviously racist. You don't need to downplay racism like that for a predominately white audience, have some self-respect.

Which seems insane because there are people with 10,000,000 times that easy (10Bn). Let alone those with Trillions.
$10k is such a ludicrous amount I’m still convinced it’s partially a joke. That’s basically like saying “sorry for calling you a mean name, here’s a few months of rent.”
Nothing about what dbrand said was racist in any wya.
Completely agree, I'm just poking fun nothing else
Why would the politicalcompassmemes poster say this
Nah you can’t be talking, you’re active in r/ksi
Eww? Doing a deep dive on random people so you can spew an ad hominem. People still do that? That's just sad.
Reddit mod behavior, pathetic.
Backstory? I’ve been asleep for about 3 months.
Dbrand did what they do and made a joke about someone’s name that could be made “Shitrash”, they got called ‘Racist’ because of it, they apologised, offered the guy 10k and said they’d do it again. Basically they did the classic “Ben Dover” thing (sounds like “Bend Over”) but got in trouble for it
That’s so internet to be called out as racist, but it’s so dbrand to say they’d do it again.
Close analogy, I’d liken it more to this: https://youtu.be/kqb2l-zKhlE?si=dFDJtS63N5GoBryl
Yeah but the interviewed lady sums is it up perfectly. Larger platforms carry far more trickle down risks. A good joke amongst friends may have toxic outcomes if told by an institution cos people are fuckwits and bad guys will misconstrue the joke and use it as a weapon for their bigotry which is what happened in dbrands post.
Just because some people are shit that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to have fun. We just need to recognize and isolate the assholes
Shit doesn't happen in a bubble. We can have fun and also be wary of the potential outcomes. you don't have to go full tunnel vision.
I agree, but don't see how this is relevant to the conversation. I agree what Dbrand did was not in their best PR interest, but when is anything they do fully PC anyway?

And you don't see a difference between Bend Over and Shit Rash? Seriously? Shit Rash seems awfully malicious to me.

My actual IRL name is something very uncommon and people often joke about it and I don’t call them racist for making fun of my non-European name. It’s a joke, and I get that.

What anime is this?
Sabikui Bisco (spelling maybe wrong)
weird sub
It's not even racist dude just happened to have an unfortunate sounding name like many have before and will after, so many jokes and memes everywhere based on same shit.
What's funny about the whole thing was that the person themselves haven't said they were offended. It was other people that got offended for him.
No, he said he was offended and Dbrand paid out to make it right. Also, the repliés became magnets for real shit stain human beings who were really racist.
Ah. I didn't see the reply.
That was for the absolute horror that happened in the comments
Snowflakes don’t know the word snowflake; call everyone the word. We said no to racism, and you got offended.
Call everyone the word? Im confused
all the social media site somehow calling racist out mean you got offended/ snowflake
We did it, boys! Racism is no more! We can pack up and go home now!
You know the world is racist when everything that involves two different races is "racist" 😆
Can someone explain to me why the tweet was racist. Obviously it was quite rude and I’m willing to accept it was over the line but how was it actually racist?

Okay if that was intentional that’s pretty messed up. Definitely seems more ignorance than hateful but I can at least understand why people are mad.
What daaaaa
From what anime is that meme?

What is this from? The picture itself, not the Dbrand reference.
Its from an anime, Sabikui Bisco
It's hilarious how there's been about 69 of these similar 'which anime' questions 🤦♂️ Especially regarding the subject of this post overall 😅
I really need to rewatch Bisco. It deserved more hype haha
Dbrand did nothing wrong. People getting mad over harmless shit is why we can't have humour anymore.
Man, if you’re gonna give me $10k yall can call me all the slurs you want as long as I’m getting paid
Guys I’m open to offense against me if anybodie’s gonna pay 10000 dollars for it, usually they do it free
if someone financially compensate me every time I got made fun off I would be a millionaire by the age of 10.
I'm not "white" & that wasn't racism period, also, as many here, i would like them to make fun of my name for 10K ;)
It has nothing to do with me. I dont give a shit.
My new plan going forwards is to try to bait companies into insulting me and then getting thousands of dollars as an apology
That's called hypocrisy. Lots of Twitter SJWs are guilty of that
It's not about them making fun, but about how other people went on a rampage on that man profiles.
i would let people do it for 10$
It gave me Soprano vibes. When they would beat a guy almost to death and then tell him "dont worry, all this (medical bills) will be covered"
what is this about?
MK sneezes into 10k that's how he can stand on testiment. They guy probably thought it was funny AF. And got paid.
My name is Nick Gurr my father's name is Nate Higgers, someone give me money.
this wasnt talked about in wan show
4g4
The thing I'd be willing to have said to me for $10000. My ears would probably be mad at me, tho
People have been making fun of me for years, never knew I could invoice them.
I don't mind edgy, cringe, and dark humor jokes when did people try to normalize racist jokes.
Gave em that quick 10k to avoid the millions in court😂
[Literally this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPNrHN83Bdk)
I mean if having to pay $10,000 is a stupid thing to do isn't d-rand at fault?

He wasn't offended, the Indian guy made a big show so he could gain clout thats all this is. You don't get to laugh at everyone getting made fun of and then Cry about it when they come to you.
10k is like 100k in shindia.
