Black women have been the most dependable voting block for Democrats for the longest time. It’s not shocking that eventually they would demand a VP candidate.

See, told you this would happen if we let the girls vote.


Real shocking stuff the only wnba player mong can name is MAGA Barbie.

I'd almost subscribe that hes posting to 20 forums all day while getting paid 8$ an hour but he legitimately seems to enjoy posting here

Maybe because he gets owned so regularly

I don't think there is much mystery about Luciom. He has some passive source of funds that allows him to lead an OK life. It isn't enough to make him feel like a member of the landed gentry, but it's enough to make him feel like a "have" and enough to make him unafraid of whatever sort of weird oligarchy he prefers.

I've said before that I don't think he is a troll or an edgelord. I think he is fairly typical Western European right-wing extremist. People who think he is a troll/edgelord are mostly just incredulous that people with his views exist. But they definitely do. If people are horrified that people with Luciom's views are relatively numerous, well, fair enough. Many of his views can be aptly described as horrifying.

Just a general comment on Luciom...

I've noticed an increasing boldness in his posting for months now. Hes feeling very empowered right now to spew toxic hatred. I've pointed out to him many times that I've noticed this, given him warnings, and generally tried to be reasonable and patient, but my patience is running thin.

Up to you, but I'm just going to point out that you yourself recently characterised people you consider stupid (for political reasons) as 'mongs', which in Britain is an extremely taboo, abusive and prejudicial term, generally used by lowlife as an abbreviation for 'mongol', which was formerly used to describe people with Down's syndrome because their facial features were felt to look Mongolian.


Wow you're right that's almost as bad as luciom literally wishing all people he disagrees with politically to be killed.

Jack Johnson's story is definitely insane. But it's also crazy how popular boxing used to be. If you like old boxing stuff, you would enjoy reading The Sweet Science by A.J. Liebling. It's a collection of boxing essays from the 1950s. Not the era of Jack Johnson, but still interesting.

Jack Johnson was awesome and an amazing fighter.

Not really!

I don't watch the WNBA. I'm starting to find out there are more smoke shows in that league and less butchy types. I may just become a fan after all. I wasn't aware Sophy was MAGA.

Yes, we are aware that MAGA twitter has very recently adopted the Caitlyn Clark vs Angel Reese thing as a race war and elevated Sophy to legend status for getting in a fight that didn't actually involve caitlyn

I appreciate your cultural insight but I don't live in Britain and here its just a way to call people stupid on reddit or league of legends that wont get you banned, and if reddit and league of legends wont ban you for it then nobody would/should

Italy's kinda extreme in both senses. Bologna, where he's from is actually pretty pro old school Communist whereas other parts are Fascist strongholds. Last time I visited Milan, you'd see graffiti of Hammer & Sickles and then 100 feet later neo fascist slogans. He's no edgelord or troll, and his views would indeed be seen as typical there in terms of pro fascism anyway.

People used to use similar defences for using words like **tard and spastic.

Not recent. I made the apparently unforgiveable sin of having some interest in women's basketball and clicking on a few legitimate links to women's basketball through social media. That resulted in me getting spammed with endless prompts for garbage about Caitlin v. Angel.


I'll happily eat a permaban as long as my posting history is wiped


That first sentence is a lie

Just out of curiosity, why don't you tell us what your previous perma-banned accounts are?


I've used the word on reddit and in league of legends for years, which is why I said that, thus proving that you are either lying or ignorant

But I will admit that learning that mongoloid has deep racial connotations does make it less appealing

Again though, if you are going to throw stones from alt accounts, why don't you tell us who you are? (I could just ask a mod to look you up)


This is really weird. I've never even heard of that word. It looks like it's just an abbreviation for his name to me and I never took it otherwise.

If it's that offensive to some people in another part of the world, I guess we learned something today?


Brother, people have been calling mongidig mong for months now and you are the first person to bring this up that I am aware of

(2nd technically, as 57 on red was first)

That you did not get banned there does not mean anything.

The word was fine to use a couple years ago for some reasons and nobody said anything.

That was until this word got officially banned or despised rather.

Science proved it wrong and there it went out of the window.

You could not say it anywhere and you got banned and despised.

No one would bat an eye if you said that in our part of the world, dude. That's like not even a phonetic combination that anyone around here has ever used or heard.


Weird to delete all the posts, but okay.

I guess I could request that mongoloid get added to the filter? I agree that reading the wiki makes it seem like a really bad word, but I've never heard it used specifically as a slur. Its not particularly common to use the word at all

I assume most others are in the same boat as calling mongidig mong goes back at least a year


What do you want to happen? You want me perabanned? I'm open to it, but its not likely.

Do you want the word banned? Added to the filter? Just want to complain?


Yo Dee, if you post again and delete it I'm just going to ban you


by Dee-Equalizer

I will get you perm for that by just making a new account and telling the owners!



I would liken it to how people use the word gyp in the US. Obviously a super racist word that no one ever intends with a racist connotation.
