Hey guys, don't say Jock, Baller, Nerd, Geek, etc........its so racist.

 

[BPoole]

That's implying that hipster is in some way shape or form comparable to the n word. It's extremely clear which one is worse, there's no argument to be had over which one is more offensive, period. And frankly it's stupid to be so offended by the term hipster.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that most people would agree that it's not even a fucking argument over which one is worse in the first place.

Both are insults. Yes, the n word is worse and this girl is an idiot for thinking they're the same, but she probably was offended by being labelled.

Hipster isn't a fucking insult and you're crazy if you think so.

Yes it is. If someone called me a hipster I would be offended.

500 Days A Slave

I don't get it. I know theres a movie with a similar name but whats the joke here?

 

[RBK]

You've probably never heard of it.

Took me a second lol.

500 days of summer + 12 years a slave. Brilliant quip.

Yep, never watched either movie.

Thanks though.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Laughed out loud IRL.

She's dumb. Does she even know what racism is? The fuck?

 

[terrene]

Hipster has no meaning anyway. You might as well say, "young person who has bought clothes in the last 5 years."

It's not even close to what POC have to deal with.

 

[SneakyStephan]

In my grandfather's youth hipsters had to sit at the back of the bus (lol)

She sounds like a bellend

If someone called me a hipster I would be offended.

k.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I can't believe people are really offended by being called a hipster. I understand being annoyed, but offended? For real? I get called a nerd fairly often and it really doesn't bother me. I mean It's honestly whatever.

I know one damn thing; as a Black man, I much rather be insulted about my social behaviors than my race. That's for damn sure.

 

[block tower]

never tell a hipster that theyre hipster.

 

[kabel]

I just don't get this whole hipster thing.


Also his gf sounds pretty dumb...

 

[Sai-kun]

Yes it is. If someone called me a hipster I would be offended.

How? It's such a nonsense word. The only people who actually use it are people confused by some kind of fashion or media that released in the last 5 years and isn't super popular.

You obviously are free to be offended why whatever, but you really shouldn't shouldn't feel insulted or offended because the word doesn't really mean anything.

 

[Aquamarine]

if there is a black entertainment television channel, why isn't there a hipster entertainment television channel?

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I wonder where a hipster sits on a bus.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Yes it is. If someone called me a hipster I would be offended.

If you ignore it, it goes away.

This might be the best dead.gif I've seen. Perfection.

 

[v1lla21]

That has to be the stupidest thing I've heard so far this year.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Some people use "hipster" in lieu of "douchebag" or "pretentious prick" but holy shit if someone said to me it was the same thing as being called a spic or wetback I would laugh in their faces so fucking hard and tell them to think about that one for a minute.

 

[GreatestHits]

OP don't be alarmed, you just ran into an actual hipster

She basically told you that/admitted it. " It's like calling [person of said adjective] a derogatory version of [said adjective] ". However her analogy merely stapled in your implication, and then some

Spoiler

pop-corn worthy sheeeeit

They don't even take the bus, they ride on skateboards.

 

[dinazimmerman]

it's so easy to tell who's a hipster itt lol

 

[Trago]

Well that was stupid.

Fuckin' hipsters....

 

[xxracerxx]

God what a stupid thing to say.

I do hate the term hipster though.

Blazing Saddles 2.

"He said the Sherrif is here."

"No carnsarnit, I said the sherrif is a hip-" *BONG*

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

 

[Trojita]

black history month starting off right

500 Days A Slave

did you say hipter or hipsta?

 

[Nightbird]

She said that hipster is like saying nigger to a black person.

 

[Damerman]

what would happen if we all made threads for every idiot we ran into?

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Never understood whats so offensive about the hipster label. Sure, it's a little insulting but I can think of far worse to be called.

 

[SliceSabre]

if there is a black entertainment television channel, why isn't there a hipster entertainment television channel?

IFC

 

[soultron]

Girl is very sensitive to the most basic shit, then blows it out of proportion with the worst analogy I've ever heard.

 

[J10]

Call a black person a hipster and wait 10 seconds.

Call a black person a nigger and wait 2 seconds.

Compare responses.

hipsters are by definition those who get offended by the hipster label

This is it. I don't get why somebody would be so pissed at someone putting a name to the look they are trying so very hard to pull off. I went through a goth phase as a teenager and was referred to as one, both just descriptivly and as an insult, but that was the look I was going for so...

To compare being called a hipster to a racial slur is just... I'd have told her to 'Fuck. Off.' in a tone so italicized that the only was to accurately write it down would appear as two long horizontal lines.

 

[GreatestHits]

Psssh we already do

I don't consider myself a hipster so the thought of someone else perceiving me that way bothers me

ARGUMENT DOES NOT COMPUTE
APPLYING HIPSTER STATUS TO ORIGINATING ENTITY
ARGUMENT COMPUTATION = SUCCESS!

 

[Nev]

The girl got pretty upset. She said that hipster is like saying nigger to a black person.

Hahaha. You really should stop hanging out with this person.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I think the difference between a nerd and a hipster is thus: A nerd is socially awkward and doesn't understand "fashion" and most likely doesn't give a fuck and finds the whole concept frivolous. A hipster is socially aware, understands fashion, and goes out of their way to look "different" and cares very much about their image, despite their sentiments to the contrary.

I liken hipsters to goth kids more than nerds personally. I mean, has anyone ever wondered what happened to all the 90's goth kids? Where the fuck did they all go? Well, they didn't go anywhere really.... they've evolved into hipsters.

But you didn't hear this from me...

Can't that be applied to all insults? If that were the case, then no words should be considering offensive and verbal racism and insults should have no bearing against anyone.

Obviously that isn't how things work

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

I've posed this theory before but it wasn't very popular on gaf. This was back in the day where we'd have a monthly 20 page hipster thread with an incredible amount of upset about the label in each one.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Some stranger's probably tweeted about you before. Let that sink in.

Stop playing the offended card all the time.

 

[Robot Carnival]

I feel like Red from That 70's Show right now and I want to yell "you're a dumbass!" at that girl...

 

[Mully]

Hahaha. You really should stop hanging out with this person.

I work at the place from time to time, so I really can't stop. I don't know them either, just making conversation.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

This is a special kind of idiot though.

Spot on, I see kids running around as young as 13-14 with a finely tuned style, funny enough saw a kid looking just like Urkel with a bigger high top, but he didn't come off awkward at all.

Kids got it so good

 

[injurai]

Call a black person a hipster and wait 10 seconds.

Call a black person a nigger and wait 2 seconds.

Compare responses.

Maybe Hipster is derogatory and Hipsta is a term of acknowledgement.

i'm not racist but hipsters really need to pull themselves up by their handwoven, locally grown bootstraps.
