Saying racism is TEASING or immaturity isn’t the same thing as flat out repeating multiple times that Gerrard is the worst version of a human and saying that he MADE FUN OF the minorities
Teasing means to PLAYFULLY make fun of
Make fun of by itself is to RIDICULE OR MOCK ANOTHER PERSON TO MAKE THEM THE BUTT OF THE JOKE
That’s why racists make fun of people they don’t “tease” because teasing implies playfulness while make fun of implies ridicule or mockery
Do I need to give you an English lesson????
So yes Ryan saying that captain Gerrard made fun of Tommy and buck and chimney isn’t the same thing as Lou plain downplaying what Tommy did in the flashback eps
Certain white people in this fandom are actually gonna drive me insane everytime the racism topic gets bought up (they said butters my biscuit yes Ik theyre white🤭🤭)
For real tho in all seriousness like where is the sense
Also saying that Lou said it in a cameo which you emphasised in all caps vs Ryan saying it in an interview is really proving the opposite of the point you wanna make cos in an interview you can get caught off guard or stumble over words and it’s on the record (not that Ryan did because he again said MADE FUN OF HE DIDNT SAY TEASING OR DOWNPLAY IT IN ANY WAY) but in a cameo that you don’t have to do but are choosing to do and that you can reshoot as many times and prepare your words however you want beforehand? Yeah exactly you are proving the opposite of what you want which is that you can pull ten million excuses but fact of the matter is a white actor addressing his characters past participation in racism shouldve considered his words more
Anyways I’m not even tagging this past discourse tags cos I legit just wanted to rant at the stupidity of some posts I come across
#911 discourse#fandom discourse#Addie goes on her block list because people keep referencing things that she doesn’t see then immediately regrets it due to sheer stupidity#anti lou ferrigno jr#anti bucktommy#anti tommy kinard#these honestly don’t apply that much but I’m being safe so I don’t annoy ppl with my rant
