MBM , 10 months ago

Isn’t blacks (noun) considered dehumanizing?

Metanoia , 10 months ago

I suppose it depends on context.

stebo02 , 10 months ago

what word would you use instead?

MBM , 10 months ago

Just black, as in “the black version of gonewild”

stebo02 , 10 months ago

but thats what it says

troglodytis , 10 months ago

Read it again.

stebo02 , 10 months ago

black gone wild, blacks gone wild, what’s the difference? just a single letter? how is one respectful and the other not?

paddirn , 10 months ago

“African-Americans Gone Wild” or "People of Color Gone Wild " just don’t seem to have the same ring to it, I guess. I’m pretty sure almost any other term you might use would be frowned upon.

ShrimpsIsBugs , 10 months ago

Not all black people are African-American or even African or American, you know? I’d be way more irritated if someone called me African-American than black, since one of these is true and the other simply isn’t.

paddirn , 10 months ago

Yeah, that’s why I added the “People of Color Gone Wild”, since the other isn’t really all-inclusive. Race is so weird to talk about in the US though, it’s like no matter how you talk about it as a white person, you’re stepping on somebody’s toes somewhere. It’s like we can’t even discuss anything without the terminology itself becoming an issue, which just sort of derails any other conversations you might be having. I get why the topic is necessary in some cases, but it feels like it needlessly complicated things at times.

pyff , 10 months ago

Ebony, or GoneWildColor as the existing reddit community was already named.

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

Pretty sure they prefer black like native Americans prefer Indians. Can we call people white? I’ve never heard anyone wants to be called ebony. I only know the term ebony from porn

pyff , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

“Pretty sure they”…

Nope, I’ll stop you right there. And the context is porn. Note, again, the term being discussed is not Black, which is perfectly kosher, but referring to Black people as “blacks”, which is considered dehumanizing.

As for alternatives, the existing PoC-run reddit communities are called Ebony, GoneWildColor, GWBlackGirls, etc. Hopefully that gives you some insight.

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

Yeah because the majority of blacks use reddit and ebony porn sites. So do you call them ebonies?

pyff , 10 months ago

Not exactly sure what you’re asking, but no, collective nouns aren’t generally pluralized in English, nor is the term appropriate outside of a porn context. Are you a native English speaker?

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

Why is the term acceptable to porn, do they not use English?

pyff , 10 months ago

It’s far more acceptable than “blacks”. It also avoids the issue of associating general search terms for groups of people with sexualized contexts as has unfortunately been done to Asian women and others.

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

Pfffffft, sounds like a load of bs. What about Brazilians?

pyff , 10 months ago

Brazilian isn’t a race, and Black isn’t a nationality. Incredibly, it’s even possible to be both. I hope your confusion has been cleared up.

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

You said Asians. So what about Persians?

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

Blacks and whites. Indians and Asians. Look, it’s plural. Add an S, guess it’s dehumanizing? I think the term daddy is dehumanizing. Please, only use dad. Do not add another dy.

pyff , 10 months ago

Yes, generally referring to groups of people as pluralized adjectives is considered dehumanizing.

Note that Blacks and the Blacks are both considered offensive and should not be used. Black people is the preferred plural form of Black.

www.archives.gov/research/catalog/…/black-person

[A]im to use Black as an adjective, not a noun. Also, when describing a group, use Black people instead of just “Blacks.”

nabjonline.org/news-media-center/styleguide/#styl…

This is for the exact same reason you would not refer to a singular Black person as “a black”. If you still have trouble perceiving the issue, consider how jarring the term “a gay” would seem in print.

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

I didn’t say “a black”, context matters no? Everyone thought saying Indian was offensive and came up with native American, until realizing that is more offensive? Just because it’s plural doesn’t make it dehumanizing. Black people says blacks, I don’t hear them say a group of black people.

pyff , 10 months ago

Are you under the impression that race and nationality are equivalent? If you’re asking whether the term is considered dehumanizing, that’s been answered for you, and if you’re asking why, that’s been answered as well. In English, racial and ethnic terms are generally used as adjectives, and we don’t use adjectives as nouns when referring to groups of people.

Stinkywinks , 10 months ago

I think what is dehumanizing is a matter of opinion

pyff , 10 months ago

Exactly, and only one fucking opinion matters. That of the people affected. Glad we cleared that up, cheers.

pascal , 10 months ago

When I lived in Kenya, basically every one called me musungu which is used for westerns but means literally “white face”, I don’t think I felt dehumanised, but that was years ago before Chinese people invaded Kenya.

pyff , 10 months ago

Okay

pascal , 10 months ago

Oh, sorry, my point of view from another part of the world that doesn’t endorse your agenda is too much inconvenient for you?

Pyroglyph , 10 months ago

Calling black people “ebony” is like calling white people “porcelain”. It’s romanticising their skin colour. It may make sense for things like porn, but please don’t refer to any group with that sort of name in a normal context. It’s incredibly weird.

pyff , 10 months ago

Exactly right, but the context being discussed is porn.

Pyroglyph , 10 months ago

Yes, but you’ve also said that referring to people as “black” is dehumanising, and then you were asked what word you’d use instead.
At this moment it isn’t unreasonable to think the context has changed from porn community titles to your personal thoughts on how to refer to a specific ethnic group in any situation.
That’s how I (and I assume many others) read the situation.

pyff , 10 months ago

Yes, but you’ve also said that referring to people as “black” is dehumanising

No. Myself, and the commenter who was being responded to, said that referring to Black people as “blacks” is dehumanizing, which it is, and the context being asked for was an alternative term for an NSFW community. Hopefully that clarifies the issue.

DokPsy , 10 months ago

I believe you’ll find that it’s Ebony and Ivory. … Side by side in perfect harmony

SRo , 10 months ago

No

pyff , 10 months ago

Yes, it is.

jeanma , 10 months ago

frippa , 10 months ago

Me, on lemmy.ml where the only trending communities are dead communities with 3 members created 2 years ago:

TheProtagonist , 10 months ago

Let me guess:

The first one is „God is dead“ by admin „K_Marx“

The second one is: „Marx is dead“ by admin „God“

But can’t you be on lemmy.ml and follow all the interesting communities from other instances (which might be harder to find, though)?

frippa , 10 months ago

The only instances that are blocked are porn ones, that’s a thing I don’t miss from reddit tbh, but the swear filter is really dumb. And doesn’t really fucking filters swears, but it’s really dumb regardless, since it’s neither opt-in nor opt-out, it’s just there.

TheProtagonist , 10 months ago

This almost seems like if the “god fraction“ has won…

I know that they had a “no porn” rule, but “no swearing” is new to me. Surely it will be a healthy family-friendly community.

I have no issue with some occasional nudes in my timeline. I could blur or filter it, if I would want to avoid this.

But porn in the web for me is an important part of the “freedom of expression”, therefore I find it anachronistic if some community tries to block / ban this.

abbotsbury , 10 months ago

Sure, but porn is so easily available that one only needs to explicitly look for it. Meanwhile there was a deluge of fetish communities appearing that every user had to block individually if they didn’t want 10 fart fetish posts on their timeline, so it was a quality of life improvement to block those communities on the server level.

TheProtagonist , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Of course you can get anything online if you go for it. But this kind of occasional nudes in my “all” timeline reminds me of the old Reddit days - and is quite nice as long as it doesn’t become too much.

So far I’ve never seen any fart-fetish community / post in my timeline tbh.

abbotsbury , 10 months ago

Well it wasn’t really occasional at the start when lots of people started creating new communities, every day there would be a bunch of new posts from new communities appearing in All

before we had defederated from the porn server, I had blocked

-Diaper porn

-Gone wild

-One just called “porn”

-Hentai

-Sissy chastity

-huge boobs

-Celebs

-Yiff (ifkyk)

-Ass

-Anal

-General NSFW

-Femboys

-Lewd Games

-Rule34

-AsiansGoneWild

-Furry Chat

-Gay furry porn

-Furry Videos

-Petplay Yiff

-feet

-sapphic hentai

-sapphic art

-Sissies

-Hentai - BDSM

-GoneMild

-Grool

-GoneMildPlus

-Trans Hydro Hotties

-Blowjob

and at some point it’s like, could we make porn opt-in instead of playing whack a mole with every niche fetish? Yeah there’s an NSFW option, but that’s more for hiding the images themselves, not ignoring the communities or servers.

I thought that was an exchange between Nietzsche and God, or it used to be. Anyway, I was unaware that the double low-9 quotation mark was even a thing so thanks for that.

For real though. I swear, some of those animations are more detailed and well-animated then anything Pixar could produce.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say I bet even monkeys rub one out to an extra curvy piece of wood from time to time. Especially the ones that have mating seasons.

How much more annoying would humans be if there was an annual “horny teenager” time? Spring break would be something else.
