[quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] [/quote]Originally posted by Balling Targeted with criticism and humour. Making fun of people is not discrimination. It's an incorrect usage of the term.[quote] I don't understand why you're so resistant to the term being used in this context. Making fun of one group specifically rather than others is discriminating against that specific group, is it not? And what does the nature of the targeting have to do with it? [/quote]Originally posted by Balling Marginalised minority? Are you talking about muslims in general? If so, then you're talking about 25% of the worlds population. Hardly a marginalised minority.[quote] French Muslims. Who are largely a poor, immigrant section of French society. I'd hardly be talking about Muslims in general, would I? As you say there are rather a lot of them. [/quote]Originally posted by Balling I'm not pointing fingers at anyone for being offended by jokes. I don't think that somebody being offended is a valid reason to censor a cartoon. I'm very unclear what your point is here. Are you trying to advocate censorship? Are you trying to say Charlie Hebdo had it coming? [/quote] I believe in censorship in certain situations depending on the context, yes. I realise that's not very trendy at the minute but anyway. My point (such as it is) is that while I abhor the thought of somebody being killed over a cartoon, I also realise that there are many people out there who may not feel the same way. As such provoking these people is not a sensible idea. The consequences of your actions need to be considered, whether or not you agree that such consequences should occur. (And no, that's not the same as saying they had it coming) I also have a problem with #JeSuisCharlie itself, as (in my opinion, of course) Charlie Hebdo is a shitty rag filled with questionable material, and not worthy of being held up as an example of free speech.
