Yeah, clearly it’s you who can’t read. The person she’s donating the hair to has the cancer not the fucking girl in the photo you mad cunt.

 

And of course it’s ok to joke about gingers or being fat IN GENERAL like I said. Obviously doing it to one person in particular is not ok and no one has done that. Jesus Christ.

"She donated 30 inches of hair to make wigs for children with cancer" 

 

"Now some poor kid has to have ginger hair on top of having cancer" 

 

I've read it again and it clearly says the person donates hair to children with cancer so now the girl has ginger hair as well as having cancer. Whether it's the girl in the picture who has cancer or someone else who has it is the only misstep here, it still suggests having cancer and being ginger are comparable. That really isn't funny at all and I would be appalled if someone said that to my face.

 

I will always have a laugh and a joke on this site as it is full of mad cunts like me but this has hit a nerve as it is not fair to joke about people about their physical attributes and line them up alongside illness. As I say, I would be appalled if someone said that sentence to me.

That’s a long winded way of saying you were wrong, but whatever. 

 

And no one was saying it to you. It’s a fucking joke on the internet. If you’re offended, I don’t really give a shit. Go and report it to Dave if you want.

They weren’t suggesting being ginger and having cancer were comparable.

 

They were suggesting it’s harsh when a child is fighting off such a terrible illness that now they have to look like a fucking idiot and lose some credibility as well.

 

Personally I think it would have been kinder to leave her bald, but you know, people have some funny ideas, don’t they.

 

As the last few pages demonstrates fairly eloquently.

Are you suggesting that all gingers look like fucking idiots with zero credibility?  

 

Shooter, I wouldn't stand for this.

I know you don't give a shit. That's hardly something to be proud of.

More an outright statement of fact than a suggestion.

Ive always had a mental image of you looking like Ben Stokes, I’m fucked if I know where that’s come from.

Like a fat Ben Stokes, yeah?

 

Like a fat skinny bald ginger Ben Stokes. I’ve just had to Google who he was, no look nothing like him. Black hair and beard. 

 

You know Brad Pitt, say 15 years ago? Nothing like that either.

No offence, Ginge, but this part is even worse than all the other stuff you’ve posted. 

Hey fellas, you don't have to be crazy to post here, but it helps! 

 

One of the things I've always loved about TLW is that Dave by and large lets us just get on with it. We know where the limits are and they only occasionally get overstepped and then the gaffer will step in as he has in this case. 

 

If we start walking on eggshells and analyzing every post the site will definitely have lost something.

There was a case at Netflix not so long ago, when they sacked their marketing or PR head. They were discussing how to promote programmes where the word is used or used extensively. The black members of the marketing or PR team insisted he used the abbreviated term instead of the full word in his description, which he refused, on account of the fact they were analysing the material where, I imagined, the word was freely used and over-used, so I guess, it would sound ridiculous. They complained and the company sacked him.

Phew!

 

I read "using it descriptively can cost you your job" as if you were saying "you can't even describe someone as a n***** these days".

 

I was a little surprised, to say the least!
