? Sexist tropes vs Virtue signalling ?

[SeaEagleRock8]

To spare readers of the Jake thread, over here this won't bother anyone.

General topic – sexist tropes vs Virtue signalling, aka ‘One of these days …’

Never saw that show but everyone's heard the line, it was no doubt hilarious in the day, maybe not so much now?

Anyhow this thread could be for any alleged racism/wokeness/virtue signalling/culture war discussions in general, which let's face it are often front and centre in recent times. Ideal for a wet week, or a disappointing footy season.

Quick note to start…

My original comment in the Jake thread was addressed not to @Brookie1973 , though I did quote your comment, but to Bozo. I took your comment Brookie to be a lighthearted joke (and on that, I like that you often try to bring some humour to the forums).

It was directed at Bozo because – and I expect he’ll agree with this – he is the most unashamedly openly sexist person on Silvertails, and he picked up your joke and ran with it. Hence I thought worthy to pass on the comment I’d heard. Maybe I should have quoted Bozo’s post not yours, although you did set it up, so… anyway.

Interesting that Bozo shook it off with a laugh, whereas you and John OnlythewestisBest were both highly offended (to the point Brookie has quit the forum in protest at my bullying!) (after a spectacular Silvertails career of over 1000 posts in less than 2 months, impressive)

In any case, let's leave the Jake thread to Jake

I thought it was a good point made that some people have a problem with a poster making a light hearted toungue-in-cheek comment about their own partner but will contribute to the verbal abuse a poster like BOZO cops every day. If not contributing then at least letting it happen without saying anything which is just as bad? e.g. I took the comment that BOZO needs to get checked for CTE as a light hearted joke which is how I took Brookies. - If we are going to take always take things literal & not have a sense of humour then why isn’t there a problem asking someone if they they are suffering traumatic brain injuries because of how they want to post? (Personally I have no problem with either & thought GE post was funny, just a easy example as it was in the same thread)
