Agreed. It is pretty despicable. Not something that should be against the law, but certainly something to be called out.

This is a bit of a spinoff, but one of my goofy arse old neighbors got a wheelchair from somewhere and rolls around his driveway in and pushes his grandkids around in it and none of them need it. Is it just me or is that stupid and kind of disrespecting people that really need it?

But they could give to someone that needs it

Tyga, I started a thread about oweo, but not about his disability. It was more about his content and production.

What you posted is downright despicable. The quote you posted

I’m constantly shocked at some of the stuff people tell that guy. I understand he can be annoying to some but he rarely insults people & others just take it to him on a personal level. Cyber bullying at its finest

Point of clarification, is being gay considered a disability?

What else is he supposed to do? I’m sure every comment about being handicapped or whatever is like a punch to the gut IRL despite how he reacts to it on here.

I usually don’t get worked up over anything on TD but this issue really gets to me

It's because he brushes it off. It's actually impressive on his part. OP is right though.

Actually, I do know why. Women don't seem to get the nuances of talking shite. The art of being a dick but not an a-hole.



I think I remember something about women complement the people they don't like. Men insult the people they like.

It's just how we socialize.

I enjoy some good lowbrow comedy, but I agree that it's in poor taste. But such is the nature of the internet. This place is kind of like a boys club (with a few broads that can hang). Everyone gets shite for something. You either roll with it and hang out, or you split. Which means it's also fair game for people to be called out for going too far with stuff.

Concur with the OP.

I have a disability myself and experienced it going to school as a kid and that shite stung like a motherfricker to the point where I seriously considered killing myself. Fortunately, it never got that far as I had a strong family at home that helped me through it.

If you're using someone's disability to score cheap points, you have one of the most rotten and corrupt hearts and souls in existence.

I unload on him about some of that stuff too. He brings that attention on himself. Most of the time I just shake my head and move on.

The disability jokes just make me cringe.
