Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread I set the DVR in great anticipation of watching the Blazers/Atlanta game. For some reason, it didn't record. Pissed I am. Very very upset. <<< Anyone know if it's replayed on-line or something?
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread It was a joke! Seriously, Crandc can hold her own and doesn't need me fighting for her but some of the posters here go out of their way to attack her and it's really pissing me off! You will never know what it's like to be a woman. What it's like to hear degrading remarks about you just because of your gender everyday. What it's like to have to ask yourself every time if you think you'll be safe going somewhere alone. What it's like to feel that instant terror every time you are out alone and run into a male you don't know. It's something we experience everyday! That's why she sends out the little reminders and if you don't like it why can't you just skip over the post?
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Sure it was a joke, but she did call NB3 a sexist. I'm sure crandc reaction wouldnt be so hot if NB3 would have called her a bitch, even if he was "joking"
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Because it's not a joke. It's an agenda hidden by a thinly veiled attempt at humor. It's the same thing over and over. If someone mentions women, or gay people, or gay women, I KNOW that Crand will appear in the thread and talk about sexists or bigots or sexist bigots. ^^ This was not a joke. This was one person calling another person a bad name. Calling someone sexist is offensive. Just because I created a harmless thread about having a mancrush on Damian Lillard did not require a post pointing out that not all the posters on this forum are men, or a reply to a post calling me sexist. I merely pointed out that she has a shtick and so she called me sexist. That's great. Some posters on this forum are more antagonistic than others when it comes to Crand. They will flat out provoke her and I apologize for that, but it's not fair for her to lump us all in with some men, just like it would be unfair for us to lump you and crand in with all women. I'm just tired of the same old crap, just like I'm tired of other shtick posters who spew the same stuff over and over. The difference is that most of the other redundant people on this forum are talking about basketball. Crand only seems to want to talk about women and gay people.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Thanks! I don't know what that is, but I'll search for it later when I have time.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Nice. So to fix that problem, crandc wants to add to the problem by doing the same thing, and worse to men. It's pathetic, unintelligent and more sexist than what most men post on this board.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Godamighty, do I have to explain everything in words of one syllable???? The standing (and untrue) put down of feminists is we have no sense of humor. So I reversed it and said sexists have no sense of humor. It was a JOKE, fams. A JOKE. A reversal of roles. The point was to make a JOKE. Not derail the thread. Not provoke a tirade. A JOKE. No wonder so few women post here. Men's jokes are recognized as such. No one expects HCP to blow a gasket over the JOKES about his wife, for example. Because everyone knows they are JOKES. But let a woman make a JOKE and all hell breaks loose. Oi vey.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread The trick with reversals is that (a) the original being reversed has to be in mind at the time, and (b) the reversal has to be at the same level. Nobody was laughing about feminists in this thread. As for being at the same level or ribbing, calling the OP a sexist because he used the word mancrush is not appropriate. Whether you think it's accurate or not, or funny or not, is not the point. Mancrush is not an aggressive term against you. Sexist *is* an aggressive term against Nate. What you said was not funny, not appropriate, and aggressive. I think an apology is in order.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Don't hide behind that. Don't make this about women. Nobody is singling you out because you're a woman. This is about you. I never said that feminists don't have a sense of humor, nor have I ever seen anyone else make that kind of remark. I said you have a shtick and you called me a sexist. It would be one thing if this was out of the ordinary for you, but it's virtually every single post you make. You have an "us vs them" mentality and you don't care if you lump a bunch of good people in with your stereotypes about men.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread If you really think that she's more sexist than what most men post here there's no point in even discussing this. I love men, I enjoy posting on the board and interacting with you all, but there is a reason why I disappear for months at a time. I get to the point where the decent guys voices are drowned out by the creeps and I have to take a break. Crandc doesn't even bother reacting or responding to 95% of it.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread This seems like innocent and fun banter to me, fully within the spirit of the thread. It appears to me that, based on some personal history, if the first quote had been by Spud and the second by crandc, none of the ensuing drama would have ensued. Pity. [/mytwopesos]
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Uh...not to be pedantic, but you have it backwards. If a guy has a crush on a girl, it is just a "crush". It is only a "mancrush" because The Omen is a man.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Well, dur. That's the point... Let's stop discussing and whining about who's sexist. There is a single source where that pathetic whining always comes from.
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Works for me! But is it okay if I start an Official Lillard Womancrush Thread first?
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Or I could just change the title to the "Official Lillard Crush Thread"
Re: Official Lillard Mancrush Thread Wouldn't Lillard need to go through a sex-change for this to happen?
