Andy Maher - Sorry but I don't get it

[Tandy]

Had a quick look at the front bar on Wednesday. He crossed to Fitzy and down the camera yelled something like "what's going on SHAGS"

 

[joy division]

I would describe him as fake. He does constantly bait Gaze as well and everything gets affiliated with “cash” or “sheets” or “put your money where your mouth is”

Yes yes
w***er in the first degree
A AFL apologist.......
Not one original thought in his mind.

Had the pleasure of meeting him out one night, he was trying to hit on my housemate at the time.

Found out his public persona is not an act.

 

[Dogs Rule]

They also constantly (especially Maher) bait each other into making out that the other said something controversial. It's infuriating.
Anyway, I stopped listening when they came back after the break.
Thank * for Car Play on my commute.

You've just summarised the ethos of every single show on SEN, apart from Dwayne who doesn't have time to bait after getting whiplash from ripping through 200 calls without a breath.

& Sorry but I don't get all this "Shags" sh_-
Is he saying you like to Fcuck?? He's basically Sl#t Shaming.

His 'Keithy' schtick really grinds my gears.
WTF is that all about?

I believe it's Gazes' middle name.. but yeah, not even slightly funny.

Nah, not his middle name, it’s just an old school Aussie name they throw at each other. Gaze has Barry Gasson as his middle names.

 

[Slime Roy]

Ahh ok, thanks.
That's so much sadder.

Andy + Dwayne + Kouta

Does Dwayne always drink 2L of milk when calling?

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Ang Christou still a Collingwood supporter at heart. Couldn't hide his cheeky smile.

Still keen to hear how he defended Sam Kerr’s comments.

Doesn’t quite fit the narrative, does it?

You really think it's hard to defend calling a police officer a 'stupid white bastard'?

I always thought he was referencing 'Chopper'.

Yeah, I do. It's 2024.

So it's OK to racially abuse police officers?

Racism is fine if the person 'deserves' it, due to their profession or skin colour?

Yeah I'm sure that poor white copper has never heard such language

I understand your point - racist comments in certain circumstances are OK, especially if the victim has been subjected to worse or similar comments in the past.

Interesting understanding of racism you’ve got there

As my post clearly stated, understanding of his point - that I completely disagree with.

What is Racism?

Racism is the process by which systems and policies, actions and attitudes create inequitable opportunities and outcomes for people based on race. Racism is more than just prejudice in thought or action. It occurs when this prejudice – whether individual or institutional – is accompanied by the...

I respect that you have a different view, but if you could put forward an argument that explains why ‘stupid white bastard’ is an acceptable comment and not a racial slur, I’d be genuinely keen to hear it, and back on point, I don’t know how Andy Maher could defend it either. Surely as a society we have zero tolerance on racial slurs these days, no matter who says it?

It is hilarious to paint this as a 'slur'. Can't you see the stupidity of a white English policeman accusing a woman of Indian descent of racism against him? This is the most obvious bullshit culture war beat-up ever. Maybe if people got as upset about actual racism as they did about this we might have a chance of reducing it.

Trying to make it out as some kind of tolerant ideal is odd. Context matters. Understanding what racism actually is matters too.

Regardless, Andy Maher is a hecking moron.
