This has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever witnessed while being a part of it. Some time ago, I tried to give a new word to define those in the superhero and supervillain communities acting ignorantly, negatively, and in a derogatory manner. My intention was and is NOT based on sex, skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation religious beliefs or lack thereof or ancestry. There are far too many reasons to call someone out and expose their stupidity than resorting to the cheap, the easily imaginable epithets of yore. So I believed I was pulling a term out of the aether. Thus was born my definition of shigger.
Understandably I've had detractors. But in discovering that the word has been used as such a term in the past, I have tried to help eliminate the word from that origin, meaning that anyone in a costume regardless of genetic, religious or sexual reasons could be seen as stupid and called on it. I've even taken the same source as one detractor's pathetic attempt to rile me and call ME a bigot by putting my own definition into the Urban Dictionary. That's mine on number three.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shigger
The most absurd action that I see is that someone has gone to that site, and continues to do so each and every day, giving a thumbs UP to the racially charged definitions, and a thumbs DOWN on the one that I proposed! Overwhelmingly so, in fact. At first, I thought it was the detractors in the superhero or supervillain community that wishes to be the salt in my wounds. A hilarious thought actually, given that it will take FAR more than such pathetic attempts as these to actually affect me. And besides, if it were these reprobates, then they would be damning me out of accusations as a racist, while being racist themselves. But I'm going to go out on a limb, and try to give them the benefit of the doubt on this. After all, anyone who would APPROVE of continued allowance of the racist term of shigger is truly prejudiced, and that doesn't seem to be my critics' style. Of course, if it WERE revealed to be them, then these beings would be seen as the worst hypocrites of all, wouldn't they?
No my friends, 'twould seem that someone is specifically trying to increase ignorance, and challenging my attempt to remove the venom from the word shigger. If it is someone on the superhero/supervillain community, then this would indicate a disturbing, and truly prejudicial mind. Now THAT'S dangerous. And I believe that whosoever these beings are should be found, else who knows what actions they will take under the guise of a costume?
I also hear the cacophony of accusations now. But Krampus, how do we know that it isn't YOU racking up the thumbs down yourself, and calling attention to it? Simple. Because the thumbs down is something that, from the beginning, I've been trying to put an end to. My definition is based on the actions under an alter ego, not anything else. I didn't know the word had another meaning because I am NOT racist, therefore I never heard of it before. And it isn't just giving a thumbs DOWN on my definition, but the thumbs UP on the racist slurs that caught my eye. Anyone simply disagreeing with my version would disapprove of both my version and the prejudicial versions simultaneously. That isn't the case. Someone is specifically rallying for their belief that the word shigger is a racist one, not based on the costumes you wear. And I know this is going to come off as confusing, but I find this hilarious!
Hear me out, fuckers. There's a point to be made.
You see, I find it hilarious that those that seem to fight so hard, so doggedly for their views to be heard are the roars of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs of the past, people wearing their own costumes of gang colors, stereotypes, white robes with dunce caps and uniforms with swastikas upon them. These are the people that act brave simply because they are with other numbers that think like themselves, right or wrong. Their only perceived strength is in numbers, and believing that since it's always been that way, they should have the right to the words that piss people off because of the past, not the future. They're frightened little boys and girls afraid they can't adapt to a changing world, thinking that the only way to live are steps backward to a time where greater numbers against minorities gave them license to act on their thoughts without reprisal. All actions have consequences, immediately apparent or not. What strikes me as hilarious is how hard a few bigots that can actually power on a computer and make their way to the Urban Dictionary of all places are raging against the dying of the light of their burning crosses and books under their topsy turvy symbols taken from Buddhist and countless other beliefs of peaceful cultures, twisted into a symbol of hate and death. The swastika has an interesting history, one that had nothing to do with racial supremacy. But someone took it, used it as they saw fit and spread belief in the superiority of one's skin tone and geographical origins. Oh, and their religion, let's not forget that.
Klansmen. Nazis. Gangs wearing colors. Or those that aspire to be. I see those that rage against those different from themselves while wearing their own outfits of aspiring supervillainy. Robes of cotton and silk, dress codes of a supposed master race's military uniform. Wannabe vigilantes and hopeful supersoldiers. Clowns in costumes. While they verbally attack niggers, they're acting like shiggers. And the irony makes me laugh, seeing the haters for what they are. Walking jokes. Bad jokes, Old jokes. And they can't even see that they're jokes anymore. They can't even see why they're not being taken seriously. It'd be funnier it it weren't so pathetic. Fuck it, I'll laugh at them anyway!
In any case, check the link above, please vote thumbs DOWN on the racist versions of shigger, and thumbs UP on mine. Anyone can take off a costume, it's the closed minded bastards that remain after the outfit is off that's the real villain. You don't have to agree with me or my approach. But if you agree that racist assholes are wrong, then at least vote thumbs DOWN on their attempts!
Oh Lord Krampus this most diminutive mouse agrees with you wholeheartedly. I am reminded of when this issue came up in the first place. If memory serves me correctly I think it was the ROACH hooligan named Lord Malignance (or Lord Maggot as I like to call him) who was the primary rabblerouser spearheading the accusations of you being a racist. There was this one other guy but he seems to have moved on. Not to make accusations but if he was the one misusing the "thumbs up or down" option it would not surprise me. That one particular little vermin seems to consider you to be the proverbial thorn on his side.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad day when attempts like yours my most humble dread Lord to reduce or remove the negativity and bring some balance to matters at hand are met with such ignorance such as promoting racism. On a personal level I am content to stand idly by and simply observe the goings on of both the RLSH and RLSV until they give us a reason to do otherwise. But you are correct, things like this need to be brought to light, kind of like when a members of a particular vermin-oriented organization state that children with cancer should be put out of their misery so as to not contaminate the gene pool. So racism is apparently not bound solely on skin color or ethnicity. Apparently to some people, we should be prejudiced against people based on illness or genetic anomalies. Maybe I should start running now before guys like Black Sun come after me with flaming torches and pitchforks because I was born with a heart murmur.
Some people's courage is only relative to the number or ignorant buffoons that cling to them like iron fillings to a magnet. Terrorists blew up the Twin Towers in the name of their twisted version of the Koran, drinking fountains were once segregated in terms of drinking water for blacks and whites, and let's not even start with the atrocities committed in the name of the Catholic religion in the Crusades or the polio-laced blankets given to Indians in the Trail of Tears. Those that revel in such atrocities are abominations, much like the idiot throwing the thumbs up on the racial slurs in the Urban Dictionary.
I've seen enough behavior on these blog boards to know that too often the line between parody/satire and gross defamation and humiliation gets crossed. Those that exist to bring down others for no other reason than to be malicious deserve no sympathy. My dread Lord Krampus what they deserve is your verbal wrath because when a shigger gets out of line they need to get set straight.
And as aside note, me and my clan of mice who stand ready to carry forth your ways wish our most beloved boogeyman of myth and mirth a
most Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Krampus and thank you.
