What are some examples of distasteful things you have seen/heard??

[Parasondox]

The "Master key" and "lock" metaphor regarding the differences between male and female sexuality is one that makes my eye start twitching. Basically something along the lines of "A Key that can open any lock is a Master Key. A Lock that can be opened by any Key is a Shitty Lock."

Because comparing human behaviours to inanimate objects designed with a singular purpose makes complete and utter sense

I mentioned this in another post last year and will say it again. That Master Key and Lock bull to the s**t metaphor is one of the most ridiculous and sexist thing I have seen. Distasteful, disgusting and misogynistic. I saw it on Facebook a few years back posted by someone who was deeply religious. The amount of people that "like" the post was shocking and the comments just ended up having men talking about women as if they were property or to put it more worse, something that should be "seen but not heard". Those men had girlfriends, wives, sisters, and daughters for crying out loud. Not all the men thought that and I had to call that guy out and question if he truly thought like that and ask,

"So, if you think women expressing their sexuality makes them 'sluts', then what would you call men who have sex with multiple women?"

I think cause I asked that question in a hostile territory, you would guess I had a lot of hate flung back at me and the actually one that posted the status, kept replying back to me with religious text. It barely held any weight. Those guys were in the same year as me back at school boasting about doing this and that to girls they met and girls in class blah blah blah. But hey, guess what guys on that facebook page, women enjoy sex just as much as men and telling them that they shouldn't or trying to label them, is basically you throwing stones in your little glass homes. Careful you don't break everything. No one should be judged on there sexuality because this is not the 1950's.

Or to be more clear, Sex is NOT a sin and is part of life.

I was. I couldn't remember the names of them, I remember they were gonna call their daughter Leia (which is a lovely name) and were both Star Wars mad. Both nice people. I went batshit insane at one of the guys who said something and actually got a lot of support. I think it was the first time I had seen something like that on here, it happened in 08/09 I think. Really sad ;;

It's not that shocking really, but something that just made me really sad.

At school I was talking to a new friend who is repeating a year and an old friend. I told him that there used to be a girl in our class who treated people in a bad way because she was extremely self-conscious. In the end everybody avoided her and she changed schools. My new friend then told me about a girl in his first year that was actually very sweet but because she had a name that was more common for boys (though it's not an uncommon name for girls) she was bullied by the girls in their class really badly for it. They would gossip about her that she should be a boy, and avoid her really in an obvious way. None of the boys nor the teachers had any idea this was going on and she changed schools without saying anything.

That just made me so sad because there was nothing wrong with her. She was bullied for something she couldn't help and nobody except for the girls realized it. The girl in my class literally treated us like filth (she actually laughed when somebody mentioned that to her and started calling the girls that would stick around "copy-homework-filth" and "go-home-from-school-filth") so maybe she had what was coming to her but the other girl did nothing wrong.

Saying the worst would probably get me banned.

Same here. I've been to Texas and some of the things you hear out of people's mouths there would get you knocked out in NY, by someone of any race. This guy who towed us into Amarillo said the most vial racist thing I've ever heard to this lady just because she happened to be on line in front of us at the service station; not the one that serviced the car, the one we stopped at for coffee. I thought she would stab him but she got out of the way. My friend (who knows my tolerance for that kind of behavior) then pulled me aside and reminded me that "we're in Texas" and that the redneck had our car and a rack of BFGs in the truck.

I also saw a blackface performance once in Tivoli Copenhagen. And I'm not that old, this was the 1980s. I was only a little kid at the time and didn't know what blackface was but I was none the less horrified on many levels.

Okay, two stories about things I've overheard in the canteen at work:

A few people are talking about places to live. Say they wouldn't live in Scotland because of all the Scottish people (I live in a town that's called little Scotland, because there are so many of them living here). My manager says he couldn't live in London, because "it's filled with too many niggers". From a man who thinks Didier Drogba is the second coming of Jesus (Drogba being black. Guess he doesn't see the irony)

The other thing was more recently, when the warehouse manager was talking about gays. He said "Being gay isn't right, they should all be shot". I... Just to think people still think like that. God I hate work.

I saw a woman both drinking and smoking whilst pregnant. Which is both distasteful and completely irresponsible and inconsiderate. She was definitely pregnant by the way. She wasn't just "On the larger side". I really hope I haven't just made this depressing for people.

I have a cousin in one part of my family who I'd describe as "kind of an awful human being" for many reasons. This is a guy who named his kids "Adolf" and "Axis" for some reason. That's not the distasteful part. The part that just left a bad taste in my mouth was when during a family reunion, he goes up on stage to advertise his new "business" (if you can call it that)...


...a center for curing gay people. In his words, he's "working for a gay-free world".

I'm not gay myself, but just... damn.

an article about a guy working in a sex shop and his encounters with weirdos.
one day he encountered a customer who was looking for a certain video in the bdsm fetish section.
the video he was looking for was about punching pregnant women in the stomach/belly until they miscarriage.

I'm pretty sure that's not a fetish, it's just being a dick.

I find blatant bullshit distasteful. Any example of somebody who uses an obviously made up reason for infringing upon others is just a terrible person. Looking at you, Putin.

daily mail, 4 July 2012

I see your Daily Mail and raise to the other Rupert Murdoch subsidiary, Fox News.

Here's Fox News pundit Liz Trotta claiming that women in military should 'expect' to be raped.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/13/fox-news-liz-trotta-rape_n_1274018.html#s692592

"I think they have actually discovered there is a difference between men and women. And the sexual abuse report says that there has been, since 2006, a 64% increase in violent sexual assaults. Now, what did they expect? These people are in close contact, the whole airing of this issue has never been done by Congress, it's strictly been a question of pressure from the feminists.

"You have this whole bureaucracy upon bureaucracy being built up with all kinds of levels of people to support women in the military who are now being raped too much."


Raped "too much."

Excuse me while I get ready for my date with two very attractive twins - Seppuku and Harakiri.

In a way, this thread is a little comforting, seeing people actually being horrified by these.

I have to ask...

Was that a real thing that existed that he could have found, or was he just looking?

Remember when Japan was having issues with it's nuclear reactors after the earthquakes?
People on various social networks going 'That's what they get for Pearl Harbour, har har'

Not cool. That was distasteful. The fact that many of these people seem to have forgotten Nagasaki and Hiroshima shows ignorance. Comments like that are just vicious, senseless, and sociopathic.

Oh yeah, I was going to say that.

I particularly liked the ones about how it was because the Germans nuked Pearl Harbour.

Once I heard one of my classmates say out loud, in female company, that a man being mere friends with a woman is like working for free. I nearly slapped his ass around the park, but contained myself, and I like to think he realized what an idiotic comment it was.

Oh God fucking no why did you remind me of that? Luckily I live in a country where Pearl Harbor has little significance, but that still didn't stop me from seeing collage images of status updates along the lines of "Tsunami in Japan... that's whatcha get for Pearl Harbor." I've also seen collages of (supposedly American) pampered bitchy teens complaining about not getting a car or an iPad for Christmas. If I ever needed a reason to become a mass murderer, there'd be one.
