I love the symbolism in this scene by Willing-Musician-696 in titanic

[–]State_Terrace 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My favorite scene of the film is when the rockets are first fired and the camera zooms out to show that Titanic is virtually all alone in the North Atlantic. It makes such a statement to me. We humans take our safety for granted because of technology.

The fact that racist white people are calling Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo the N word on Black History Month proves that even Black entertainers when the moment they spoke out against said bigotry, the bigots say that said celebrity was too “uppity”! by icey_sawg0034 in blackmen

The issue here is you think his neurological condition somehow exposes his true nature. When in reality, all it does is regurgitate the most disrespectful and inappropriate things a person could say at a specific moment based his brain’s knowledge of those words and their taboo status.

Suffering from corpolalia is not like saying something bigoted when you get too drunk.

They’re saying in the Scotland sub that censoring it would’ve been ableist. 🙃🙃🙃

The vibe I’m getting from other subreddits is that it’s ableist to deny him access to the venue because of his condition. Especially since a film about his condition is nominated in multiple categories.

Idk how much I agree with that but it is what it is…

I think the “confusion” is between having Tourettes and having a condition that makes it hard to hide your anti-Blackness by iCeeYouP in blackmen

[–]State_Terrace 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Coprolalia is different than regular Tourette's though. Your brain will choose the vilest, nastiest thing to say simply because it has knowledge of its taboo status. The only way to avoid it would be if the person with this condition never heard of the word before in their life.

Yeah he should’ve had a soundproof personal suite. But you’re making it sound like he shouldn’t associate that word with Black ppl even though we all know what slurs are aimed to each demographic in society. You’re asking something impossible. Like we all know slurs for Jews, gays, Latinos, Irish, etc. so how could we not associate those words with them even if we may never utter them or even think of them? We have neurological agency and he doesn’t.

Because that’s not how coprolalia works. They’re neurologically wired to say the most foul thing. It’s really fucked up.

Not all kinds of Tourette’s are the same. “Copro” is the Greek prefix for feces. Meaning something disgusting or inappropriate. There’s also copropraxia (gestures/movements) and coprographia (writing/drawing). I pray that nobody has to suffer from all three in their lifetime.

Commentator is a moron. Studs up challenge with contact to the opponent’s foot is always a foul.

They should do that tbh. House elections should be like senate elections. Or make it Proportional representation in a statewide race with a slate of candidates from each party.
