thank you, thank you, thank you. that's the point. i don't believe "taboo" is a word that should even exist. as long as something isn't inhuman, why should one fear to do it?
Mwoah, i think some taboos should exist. But there's a huge difference between, lets say, changing your stage name to Hitty Hitler, then put out a banging album that has nothing whatsoever to do with Hitlers views and opinions, and doing the same name change and put out an album which glorifies fascism and national-socialism and calls for the destruction of the Jews.
When people start complaining about the latter, i can understand. I still won't give a fuck, personally, but i can see why they'd be complaining.
But people start bitching about the first example already these days. Some people take on the smallest opportunity to play the victim or to be offended by something that is very unworthy to be offended by. And i feel it's making a mockery of serious issues related to the subject (which the people are so touchy about).
Like, recently, we had a thread on the board about the photo in the yearbook about a black student which was the "Most Whipped". A harmless joke. But yet there are voices crying out saying it makes people remind of slavery and racism etc. You name it, they were offended over it.
And then I think, when you're offended by something so trivial, claiming murder and a restitution of morals, that person is being more rude for turning a serious issue into a worthless bickering.
Anyone feel what i'm saying?
