@Rambler Not saying he's not, as I read about 5 or 6 of his books and I know where you're coming from, but that's just his quirk. I would say that the guardian is definitely not trustworthy since the Clark has some personal beef with them I believe, but that's not really the point.

The point is, the guy is totally blunt with everything, he insulted everyone and everything (including my country) and it doesn't really matter all that much because his opinions are so unhinged that people just have a laugh and move on. Example - "I’m not homophobic as I very much enjoy watching lesbians on the internet" - do you believe he said that seriously? He's not really a dumb person, and I am very allergic to dumb people, believe me.

Really? Those are news articles I posted to, not opinion pieces. I'm not sure how being sued for racial discrimination can be down to just the political slant of the guardian.

Did you read his piece on Markle? It's disgusting.

Edit: that was highly aggressive. Apologies.

However, disguising racism, sexism and homophobia as just banter would actually get you sacked from a job

@Rambler I totally understand you, but don't let it ruin your sunday, don't get worked up over nothing. Almost every single celebrity is a horrible person, but Clarkson just doesn't hide it. I mentioned the racial term in Burma, and I said that it doesn't matter since I can't, nor do I want to, disprove it. I just said that it could be some revenge for writing VERY badly about them (as I remember).

As for the Markle article, I think he wrote similar things about other people, male and female, and he gets pretty graphic whenever he starts getting spiteful.

"If he's just blunt, does that mean we can be blunt here? Shall we start doing that?" I mean some people already are, but that's none of my business.

Is racism funny? No, not at all. Are some remarks regarding racism funny? They could be. I feel like we're entering a dangerous territory there in this last paragraph.

@Princess_Lilly
I agree, this could - or I could make this - get out of hand.
But, as a last word(!), it's the small, needling, use of bigoted terms that normalise hatred, and help feed the narratives.
While policing language is never a good thing, they can do damage and can lead to serious consequences.

but don't let it ruin your sunday, don't get worked up over nothing.

Good words to live by.

Relax, Owl did nothing wrong by posting a gif of the dude. It was just a joke at the end of the day.

@blindsquarel I'm just gonna get American Truck Sim and Tron 2.0, the Arkham games look good but they are just another "story-based" game to add to my giant backlog.

@blindsquarel I thought I was the only person who liked Tepig. Granted, Unova didn't have the best fully evolved ones though.

@Rambler I know what you mean and by no means I encourage you to ignore faults of our civilization. It's just that in all seriousness, nobody would feel that hatred was normalized by Clarkson. He never speaks seriously and nobody takes him seriously. I would be more concerned by mister bad touch from house of cards or mister I love my motherland of Hong Kong so much that I sold it to a bunch of madmen thinking they rule a country

But at the end of the day, we won't change the world ourselves today, it's a process.
