I would like to know why you think it is?

Unsure. I just did a quick search for the word 'rat' on the forum, and a number of housemates have been described as that this series.

Can we just ban it in any use as an insult?

But loads of us just use it
as a typical housemate insult
meaning he is a dirty rat.

Yes Snakes are clever sneaks

i know that if i was to call someone a rat, it would be because i felt they were untrustworthy or sneaky.

But that would describe the characteristics of a snake

but isn’t that dehumanising as well though?

Can we not have a thread without Lewis being brought in?

Elliot · 15-10-2018, 10:27 AM

hussain has been specifically referred to as a rat by multiple members who have never used said word before. its its clear as day why

DrunkerThanMoses · 15-10-2018, 10:27 AM

I don't see the problem with calling someone a rat... Someone called a rat to me means sneaky and not comparing them to Jews at all

Elliot · 15-10-2018, 10:29 AM

' get offended over everything'

> brushes aside racism that you just admitted
> makes a thread crying over a joke about roxanne pallett

Elliot · 15-10-2018, 10:32 AM

a forum member just admitted he's being called a rat because of his appearances so can we ban it since the racial connotations are clear as day and if they wanna cry over an out of context joke i think this is within its right

Lewis called him a rat because of his sneaky ways and I happen to agree with him. Nothing to do with race. Go cry elsewhere and stop throwing around flase accusations and labelling L a "Woman beater" when he clearly isn't.

you took my post out of context and yours is damming even with considering someone just admitted he's being called a rat because of his looks

Can we put a ban on insulting Cameron's appearance? Especially when many of them have quite rightly lambasted others for doing similar in the past

People on this forum and the wider Big Brother community on Twitter need to grow up with all of these petty, childish insults - it's a television show for Christ sake. Every year April Lewis is proven more and more right

i agree with this to an extent but you can see the difference of severity between people calling hussain a rat because of his looks and people calling cameron slender man because of his?

Both are petty, pointless and of no relevance whatsoever. How does a housemates appearance have any bearing as to what they're like as a housemate? Unless you're remarking that you find them attractive, I don't see any reason why it needs to be brought up. It's Big Brother, not Next Top Model

It's like a school playground on this forum, calling Hussain a rat, insulting Cameron's teeth, calling women 'slags' and 'slappers', insulting Tomasz's weight, etc etc etc, the list goes on. And it's the same crap every year, here and on social media. It's time people in the Big Brother fandom got some perspective, stepped away from the TV, and grew up a little

This as well as referring to Tomasz as a whale. It’s ****ing disgusting. Even if you hate a housemate, judge them on that. You wouldn’t call people things like that to their face so what the hell gives you the right to sit behind a computer screen and do it?

Underscore · 15-10-2018, 10:39 AM

I hate the word snowflake because I get called it all the time by the right wing but you’re literally being a snowflake because someone is calling your favourite a rat, when it happens every series and to a majority of housemates with similar housemates, quit being a snowflake

James · 15-10-2018, 10:46 AM

It does get annoying on here when posters refer to a housemate by a (negative) nickname in every post, instead of using their names. It's repetitive.

But that's not the same as referring to a housemate with a word which actually means 'sneaky'.
