- rgarrett88 5y agoGP didn't even call it racist just mentioned a movie. Racist rant just came out of no where...
- colordrops 5y agoThere was a clear implication, let's be honest here. Extreme violence is a normal part of our culture - young kids watch hulk smash violently in marvel movies and no one bats an eye. The reason strong offense is being taken here is because of the racist context of the violence in the movie.
- crikeym8 5y agoKilling is a horrible violent act but we use it all the time when talking about computers. Or should we rename SIGKILL to something a little more child friendly? You're being pretty dramatic about a complete non issue.
- SquareWheel 5y agoYeah. I haven't seen the movie, but I recoiled just reading the sentence. It was a very graphically violent term to use here.
- COGlory 5y agoIt's a metaphor, is it not? Akin to "kill it with fire"
- alisonkisk 5y agoShould we stick to nonviolent words like "kill" and "beat" and "crush'?
