Random Image Thread 2: Electric Boogaloo

SO I was browsing Reddit and found a post were a guy likes to google “dsc00001.jpg” to find random pics of the first thing people took pictures of. I stumbled on this…

Am I crazy or does Marn have a doppelganger out there with worse hair?

ugh

LOL wtf?!?

Wow I seriously thought that was marn like 7 years ago.

maybe because japs read right to left and americans read left to right?

it’s not nice to say “japs”, but good point. But what about the colours??

You know its modeled after a dreamcast controller right?

My childhood had the SNES layout engraved in my head.
I could never play quick time events on Xbox because of it.

And nothing wrong with “japs”. The bad one is “nips”.
And if they consider them both hurtful… Then sucks to be them to have 2 well known slurs against their nation.

Wow that’s bad as Amers… Only it’s not bad. Cutting a syllable’s worth of context out of a word suddenly makes it a racial slur? lol.

It was used as a racial slur during the war

Well cut one more letter out and you get JPs which (AFAIK) is not derogatory

How is this hard to understand? “Jap” has been used in a derogatory manner toward Japanese people for decades jst because you can’t figure how removing a syllable from a word turns it into a slur doesn’t suddenly make it not a slur.

It is not so much derogatory, but it is demeaning. No insult is meant, but it is disrespectful to say jap in most cases is. Like referring to a French person as Frenchy.

On SRK, there seems to be a little leeway with it, specifically when referring to Japanese arcade sticks. The topic comes up so much, the term jap sticks is thrown out without any negative connotation, and there is some crossover; but I agree that it is disrespectful the majority of the time.

Not to be a dick, but can we have more pictures and less discussions about why “Japs” is an offensive slur? <3

:u: :rofl:
