Are we all becoming woke snowflakes?

who was abused?

"Get your hankies ready, for I am here to share a story of woe and oppression. The nation’s truly subjugated minority, affluent middle-aged white men in the shires who turn pink with rage at the thought of immigrants or taxes, are under siege. Golf clubs across the land abound with dark mutterings: you can’t even racially abuse Diane Abbott on Twitter, or call for Muslims to be deported, without the fascist left crushing your rights and freedoms by disapproving of things you’ve said. But the cruellest oppression since Jim Davidson left his prime-time Big Break slot has come to pass: the left are now calling socially reactionary, affluent England “gammon”.

What are the characteristics of someone who would be labelled gammon?

They moan about the re-naming of sweets in M&S.

No racial characteristics?

When M&S made Percy pigs vegan and people kicked off they should've brought back the non vegan Percy pigs, kept the same colour, but instead of pigs made them little angry fellas with a scowl and called them 'Gammon Garys'

Extremely red face.

They were muslims, that is the point (to a gammon)

Extremely red face.

I see.

And is it only used as a term against white people or men to be more specific?

 

[Jebus_lives]

Anyone for a Gary Gammon?

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I see.

By other white people, ye!

 

[YoboCopter]

For some reason a mental health joke is absolutly off limits but most other stuff fair game

Sorry hadnt been in thread earlier only just woke up and taken my meds

Not really the point though is it, either it's fine to label people according to race or it isn't.

And I thought the argument was that if the person who is receiving the abuse is offended then that's what matters.

I don't find the term offensive but I find it pathetic, a label attached to people to shut down or say their opinion isn't worth listening to. Debating the person and not the argument.

I find it completely hypocritical and lazy as terminology, I just lose respect for people when I see it used.
