Kim Jong-un 'looking a wee bit peaky' speculation here

[Saul Goodman]

for me it's her policies and rhetoric, as I say. And I wouldn't have used the term pantomime villain.

Nobody would, except killer b

it was in the headline of an article beesonthewhatnow linked too, a few posts up.

But you've literally just told us you can make a reliable judgment on this woman's evilness based on her appearance rather than her actions.

No I didn't. I never mentioned Patel.

 

[maomao]

No I didn't. I never mentioned Patel.

Kim

This is pretty tiring Saul. You know why it's dodgy to say you can tell an east asian woman is evil because of her eyes. Why are you even bothering?

 

[Saul Goodman]

Kim

Yes, I can. I can look at someone's face and instantly know if they're an evil cunt.

Get fucked. I never mentioned east Asian women. I'm talking about anyone from anywhere.

And what's the source of this super power? Did you get bitten by a radioactive racist?

 

[two sheds]

Right. Yet it's the asian woman who actually gets called a pantomime villain, not the many many white men. Can't you see the problem with that?

Take it up with the posters on this thread perhaps.

you did, you mentioned Kim Yo-Jong.

I started by looking at a picture of you.

 

[andysays]

Isn't it more that she (and Kim Yo-Jong) are perfect pantomime villains because pantomime villains are often asian or east asian in appearance?

Oh no they're not.

(Saul Goodman's original comment was pretty facile, but some of these responses are getting a bit ridiculous, imo)

 

[Saul Goodman]

you did, you mentioned Kim Yo-Jong.

You do realise how fucking ridiculous you look when you pull people up for talking about the very people the thread is about?

Who to? You? Andy? Gutted mate.

Anyone who isn't trying to score points by turning every innocuous post into a racist event..

Don't forget the sexism.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Don't forget the sexism.

Yeah

 

[two sheds]

I was the one who posted the image of patel. There was no racist, sexist intent.

 

[killer b]

TBH I wasn't interested in turning it into a 'racist event', I thought a gentle nudge might be enough to make you consider why it might not be ok. But it's so important to you that you don't have to ever think about this stuff that it ends up having to be explicit. Your choice though man.

Oh yes there was!

Just looking on the Chinese Internet and it seems refreshingly free from comment on her appearance, it's all politics and policy. She looks like any other cheery woman her age in these two:


Second one has the red circle as that was the only gossipy story, about her being married.

I've deleted the photo.

Fuck that, Patel's a proper fucking villain , nothing pantomime about her at all. A real nasty piece of work, the smirk is irrelevant.

I just spit Cava all over my wife having read that second sentence

I know she's a villain. Her villainy isn't what's under discussion here.

 

[Saul Goodman]

I know she's a villain. Her villainy isn't what's under discussion here.

It's whether or not someone can decide she's a villain by looking at her, and if they can they're both racist and sexist, in your mind? What if the same person looks at Dominic Cummings, and decides he's also an evil villain, do you just ignore that, because you can't score points off it?

So stop soiling the reputations of the Captain Hooks and Widow Twankys of this world by associating her with pantomimes then FFS!

Judging people by their looks is a bit school yard, a bit shallow, no?

 

[Saul Goodman]

I'd consider it a very worthwhile skill.

Do you think you genuinely have a gift for telling whether someone is evil or not just by looking at them, or do you think it's more likely that you are latching on to tired stereotypes of angry unsympathetic women and/or inscrutable east/south-east Asians, perpetuated by representations of those actually very normal looking women in popular media? Hmmm, I wonder
