NYSOM
It’s a slur. It might be fitting for the “shtick” character he plays, but it was meant as a cut down and NYSOM responded as we know.
All I’m saying, is if NYSOM did this out of left field, then ok. But it was in direct response to that so there needs to be some context.
Look, I'm not arguing with you, I'm asking for clarification. We all go back and forth with each other, and given the update to the rules, I think we could all benefit for some additional understanding.
I think you are saying that if someone says "RVA Cane needs to get a hobby, and spinning dreidels is not one of them" (and I use that example with all love and respect to you, you know I hold you in the highest regard), then it is the mention of "spinning dreidels" as some sort of ethnic/religious shorthand that is the problem, not the literal accusation that you are a "dreidel spinner"?
I just want to understand, because "trolling for d!ck", for right or wrong, is a phrase that I have seen used on CIS with some frequency.
Like I said earlier, I do not think that Austin's sentence was a literal ACCUSATION that NYSOM is *** (something that NYSOM himself has clouded for months), but he certainly used words which are shorthand for someone being ***.
That's why I take issue with NYSOM calling it an "attack". I do not believe he was attacked. Now, "slur" is a possibility. If a person says the "n-word", even if they are not calling someone the "n-word", it is still a slur, just not an attack on any particular person.
And now we return to our regularly scheduled episode of The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer.
