Exactly, clearly this **** is done for a reaction or to attract/appease certain clientele.

Ahh well this is starting to add up a bit more then. Uni students still in the "OMG lol controversy is so funny!" phase will absolutely love this nonsense.

I am surprised there has not been a request for a safe space away from the gollys in his pub, if its frequented by uni students

That's more US universities. UK ones are still all about "bants"... And as such, UK students often find things like controversial jokes and pubs full of gollywogs "hilarious".

Its very much UK unis also. Safe spaces, no platforming and seem to be completely anti-freespeech to boot.

Obviously uni students are not a hive mind or anything, much like any other group of people..but I wish this was just American nonsense. Sadly it is not.

I wouldn't say "ever", but it's definitely the messiest for a while :joker:. And from the word go... Usually it takes a few pages.

1. LT Started it

2. It's about golliwogs in a pub


There are probably more but I'm OK with those two.

There should be a subforum JUST for banned members :omgno:. Like prison! Truth would post there all day and others would pop in to visit from time to time :joker:.

I quite like the idea of an exiles subforum. What a huge mess that would be :D

But it wouldn't matter because the people in it are in exile from the rest of the forum anyway, and other members can't see it.

Though for a while you'd all have to put up with me trying my best to get banned to gain entry :think:...

I dont know that place, people part pf tibb towers dont go there.

Tozzie 14-02-2018 07:29 PM

I adored my golliwog when I was a kid and I don't remember ever associating them with black people, to me it was just a coloured doll, woulnd't have mattered if it were green. I bet most black people aren't offended by them, its just pc brigade again

Crimson Dynamo 14-02-2018 07:33 PM

I like to wander in the quadrangle of Tibb Towers and visit the Arista tea room. Yes it was closed a while back but you can get in through a window and its peaceful and calm. MTVN keeps his porn stash in there and occasionally I sit sipping a tea watching Mokka take the knitting club Yoga class on the battlements. If the wind is in the right direction you can hear Alf farting when he does the downward dog..

I see some of you are taking Valentines day very seriously this year and have decided to imbibe... :laugh:

Maru 14-02-2018 07:41 PM

Also I didn't think it was a bad thread... unless there was a boocoo of bans and thread clean ups or something while I was gone. Just reads like any other classic SD thread.

Not by me but by the topic and its absurdity

..those ‘white’ golliwogs are awful, I don’t see them as ‘non offensive’ at all, I think they add more to the offensiveness...like inferring they have to be white because of ‘PC’ reasons..oh we still want the dolls, we’re going to keep them and keep producing them...we will just have to change the colour to make them ok because of fussy people...that to me is completely missing the point ...as sheriff has said, the last part of the name itself has been used as one of the most derogatory terms that could be used for a black person...and maybe is still used by some..?..changing the colour of the doll, doesn’t make them any more acceptable or make what they’ve come to represent, any more acceptable...it just makes more of a mockery and adds to the insult and thoughtlessness...I still find it odd and hard to believe that a 59yr old person, could ‘innocently’ display these things in any public place...his life must have been very much in a ‘bubble’, is what it would seem...
