I'm surprised no one has threatened to go to the NSPCC for the criticism of Nikki!

Enough with the card carrying BS. It is possible for those gay HMs to be arseholes (no pun intended- male HM) and transsexuals and non whites to be loud mouthed idiots. I've also noticed that people tend to be less bothered if it's a gay female HM that is getting criticized!!! But hey, sexism (against men and women) is never mentioned!!!

Being gay, transsexual and/or non white does NOT mean you are immune from the faults that the rest of the human race has!!!! It does NOT give you *special* qualities and make you a nice person.

And if you can't accept that you have some serious growing up to do.

I'm not even so sure you can't make some reasonable teasing of those specific identities.
Many people (and before Marcy in BB9) brought up how it was acceptable to tease or mock someone's regional dialect in an impersonation of their voice.
A HM might mimic another for a manx way of saying something or perhaps they spoke slowly,
but,
If the HM being 'impersonated' affects a 'gay lisp' then impersonations are crimes.
If the HM has a regional dialect outside the UK its possibly a racist crime.

Years ago the US Comedian Dennis Miller did a 'rant' about this where he pointed out some of these 'hypocrisies' and how he can absolutely RIP Lawyers in his act.
(maybe other examples like Cops, Southerners, Intellectual Elites) but his point was how if he made rips on homosexuals then it was suddenly 'off limits'.
What he was actually trying to say was that he resented gays being treated unequally as if they were so weak, so powerless, such fragile little 'faberge eggs' that it was an insult to treat them as if they needed such protection at all.
Lawyers can take a joke and understand its not really a threat. Southerners know its a joke and don't actually take it seriously. Gays need to step up and take it too.

People get to sit in BB living rooms and tell others their God doesn't exist. If they sincerely believe that then so be it. That is capturing a real person who really thinks the other has it wrong.
Likewise, if a HM sincerely tells another they think homosexuality is a perversion then so be it. That's a real person being observed saying a real thing they believe.

And as far as I'm concerned - I would rather have this simply out in the open where it does get addressed, discussed, EVEN IF people disagree but then let the court of public discourse work it out.
By 'suppressing it' you don't do anything but hide it and it never changes, is never enlightened. So what is the point of that?


Anyways, /rant

Vicky how do you stand all this day in day out, it must be soul destroying.

I dont agree with taking the piss out of someone for being fat, but I dont see it as the same as rasicm or homophobia. May have been a better way of putting it then.

I am aware some people CANT lose weight, but the example we were given, of Josie...she was called fat because she constantly went on about it HERSELF, thus drawing attention to it, and also ate a LOT more than an average person would and lay in bed all day. She was not fat entering the house. But she became fat inside the house, so I think its obvious that there wasn't really a medical reason for it, it was just a case of being greedy and lazy.

Due to obvious emotional issues that she has, evidenced by her being 25 and still sucking her thumb. It does not and should not make her any more of a target for ridicule just because it's not a visually obvious affliction.


If she saw some of the threads that have been created about her over the past few months on various sites she would have a breakdown

So, ridiculing someone because they are fat is the same as being racist?

I really don't think so.

Yes, it is still kind of discrimination. But it is not the same. If it was, you would be locked up for calling someone fat in the street, like you would be for being racist.

Yes its EXACTLY the same. Its discrimination, pure and simple. Go up to a perfect stranger in the street and call them fat you will be arrested for harassment.

[Shardlake]

If you are a Manager of a tour operator and someone who is 35 stone walks into your travel agents and you say 'oh sorry you cant have a seat on this plane you are to fat' that is discrimination, that person could sue and the tour operator would be committing a criminal offence, that is no different to someone saying 'sorry you cant come in, we dont have blacks in here'

you seem to have forgotten i mentioned dave aswell?

[iRyan]

It's about WHITE people slagging off Makosi and STRAIGHT people slagging off Brian.

So your point is invalid. Of course a white heterosexual male making a comment about another white heterosexual male is nothing.
