The Liam Neeson shitstorm is kind of depressing. Feels like Enzom is suddenly writing for most newspapers.

Phew! Liam Neeson wasn’t racist after all, explain John Humphrys and a male psychotherapist
Emotions! A male response to grief! A promotional stunt! Anything but racism…

We don't need former racists parading their former hatred around letting everyone know they used to hate black people, same for misogynists, or former incels.

There's actually little gained in this performative nonsense, Liam Neeson isn't making it a better world for Black folk, he's exposing them to his former hatred, spreading trauma and then focusing the narrative on forgiving him.

That's not constructive it's bullshit.

Keep that garbage to yourself and do real work not this crap

Since when has neeson asked for forgiveness?

[BisMarckie]

Liam acted on those racist feelings

So Neeson DID kill a guy. Lock him up.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I also like the narrative that neeson 40 years ago was like the punisher or something. As if there was no chance he would have gotten curbstomped.

We want people be less shallow but we demand absolute perfection and not reveal their inner demons. Emotions are valid except when they are not.

That ended in not killing or people getting hurt, a lot of self reflection  and went unknown for most people on planet earth.

The narrative is because he didn’t mention race and apologized he is murdering people right now.

And he was doing it as a wacky tangent during press for his new movie.

He was asked "how do you tap into the emotion of revenge".

wacky tangent!

There was even a black woman on Twitter trying to raise funds for a Black owned prison.... Like wtf?

That's unfair.
They made a designated fun containment topic for the purpose of administering regulated doses.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

They won't take what he means if he doesnt say it, and they won't believe him when he says it.

Because he doesn't think he's racist and told the story to make himself sound cool.

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh c'mon now.
Telling someone to go kys in an online game is also "an action". An action that is objectively more damaging to someone.

This is getting a little ridiculous.

Neeson himself admits he had the means and intent to murder someone for a week straight, lets not fuck around and overcorrect just because ERA is having a conniption, the dudes actions were reprehensible.

[BisMarckie]

I don't think he meant that literally, but that's just my interpretation.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm just gonna repeat what I said before; if you're making this liam neeson thing about 'racism' that says more about you than it does anything else.
That that is the part of the story you choose to focus on.

Like I said in an earlier analogy; if a dude is talking about his hard times as an alcoholic, living on the streets, sucking dick for crack, eating from trash cans, but managed to get straight, clean their life up and get back into society, and the listeners takeaway is "But you sucked DICK?", that tells you about the psychological makeup of the listener first and foremost.
They're either into a very specific kind of 'straight dudes being forced to suck dick' porn, or they're a homophobe and the part that sets their alarm bells ringing isn't the tragedy of a nearly wasted life, its a man sucking a dick.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Neeson himself admits he had the means and intent to murder someone for a week straight, lets not fuck around and overcorrect just because ERA is having a conniption, the dudes actions were reprehensible.

No;

His THOUGHTS were reprehensible.
His ACTIONS literally amounted to walking around late at night while armed.

Like... you don't see how insanely dangerous it is to start conflating what people think with what they actually do?

If he just fantasized about the revenge it would be one thing, but he acted on his thoughts. I'm dumbfounded that you want to downplay his ACTIONS as if they were innocent in nature. He was driven to action by thoughts of revenge and racism, the only thing that stopped his actions from reaching their fruition is presumably a lack of black men starting shit with him that week.

[stufte]

Suicidal people in cars are taking ACTION for fantasizing about driving into oncoming traffic. Someone arrest them. they had the MEANS to kill themselves and others.

If someone in a car drives on the other side of the road in order to kill black people they'd absolutely be disciplined for their actions even if there was nobody on the other side of the street.

You have absolutely no idea how he would actually have reacted if the opportunity to do what he fantasised about was presented to him, and nor do I.
You're literally condemning him not for the sins he confessed to, but the hypothetical that thoughts might have driven him to.

Again; just stop and think for a moment about the implications of treating thoughts like actions.

Please, let's not discuss when an attempted crime begins. I won't be able to help myself and might actually carepost. 

[marrec]

I'm not saying we need to arrest Liam Neeson for murder, but we don't need to be like "it's okay boo boo you didn't find that black person you wanted to kill no big"

Not the same... he had the means to commit a crime, but ended up doing nothing. Just like in my scenario, the person had the MEANS to commit a crime, but ended up doing nothing. It's not like he shot up a bar and hit no one, he literally did nothing.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Like its a common male fantasy to be a porn star, but its also a common reality that if put in that situation in real life, a lot of men can't get hard in that scenario.

Nobody's treating his thoughts as if he actually killed a black person (well, no one reasonable fuck I'm sure some idiot out there is trying to arrest Liam Neeson)

We're treating his actions as reprehensible because they were.

[agrajag]

lmao marrec going full Era. The reason Neeson brought the anecdote in the first place is because he thought it was awful and it weighed on his conscience 40 years later. No one, including himself, if saying he should get a pat on the back, nor should you be reeeeeing about something he didn't do 40 years ago.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

A lot of people are literally treating the thoughts he confessed to - his action - as the same thing as having actually beaten some dude to death 40 years ago and getting away with it.

e:
Like, he wasn't on Fallon going "Oh, Jimmy, did I ever tell you about that time I beat a distinguished black fellow to death? *laughs*"

Ya, it's fucked up though that he did go roaming the streets looking to kill a black guy.

Like, how is this even a fucking question?

I'm not even saying anything should fucking happen to him, I'm just acknowledging that it's fucked up.

[stufte]

It's funny to me that I'd be banned on ERA for even entertaining this kind of debate.

Well they would... Even without the intent to kill (black people or otherwise) ?

Maybe this just marketin stunt to reboot darkman

A brilliant scientist left for dead returns to exact revenge on the people who burned him alive.

A brilliant (racist) actor(murderer) left for dead returns to exact revenge on the people who burned(tweetstormed) him alive.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

How comfortable are you guys with the idea of armed people walking around near you having revenge fantasy's hoping you'll start shit with them?

Not comfortable at all, but I suspect that happens way more often than people would like to think it does.
Whats the solution? Stop and Search laws in case anyone walking around at night has a weapon?
