He probably used the word "Paki" right? which is usually meant as a derogatory term towards all eastern people not just to explain that their origin is pakistani. I would never use the "N" word.
A drawing depicting fictional character using natives, shouldn't provoke the same reaction from the mods. There is nothing malicious or racist about it, i hope that comes across :)

what the fuck is a chibi?

Chibi (ちび, Chibi?) (pronounced with long E sounds) as an English word is slang used in some circles (for example otaku). It has its origins in the Japanese language. In the context of anime or manga, is used to describe a style of drawing a character in a highly stylized way, with stubby bodies that are about the same size as the head, much like super deformed style. ;)

I wouldn't be surprised if you get banned - saying "red apples sucks" is probably racist and worth of banning according to FH mods :cool: The context means fuck all here - using words such as "*****" or "white trash" -> ban even if you use it in example like, erm, this :p *


* and no, I'm not mod-baiting.

Hay good work blackie, great drawing technique there and i hope you take this as a compliment they are really nice and simple (which is good) i really liked the irony of the one in africa, dont see anything recial in that aside from implying that white folk like to go to virgin lands and exploit them.

now if youll excuse me im off to madagasgar to enslave some lemurs and build a power plant ;)

I wonder how many people have the right to use 'nig***' since it means "Negro: African Origin"


I doubt many can actually use this word and actually mean it.

I know - the point was that everything is considered racist in FH and you never know when the ban-stick hits you :p Video of horse race which includes five white horses and one black horse is racist if that black horse wins... no wait, it would be racist regardless of winner ;<

Well, i got a 3 day ban for posting the n word...with a duck saying it...so you posting a cartoon with blacks being whipped and used as chairs is equally banworthy.

What was the terminology: Spoiler tags arn't an excuse to bend the rules.

Don't get me wrong, i don't care if they ban you or not, just that...

If you're not banned, well, it's rather interesting.

Have to say never really unstood people getting upset with that one. No different from calling us Brits. Around my home town area they were mainly reffered to as 'bacon sarnies' which was probably more derogatory to a muslim.

People have become far too overly sensative in general. PC Britain fortheloss!

Well might just be me. But if i had the character say something like "Run N***** Run" i think i would have deserved a ban. But as it stands now, i don't considder it to be something punishable by ban.

Even though i personally wasn't offended by the racist duck pic.
Some words have a powerfull effect. And the N word just has so much stigma surounding it. White people grosely abused the word and we had our "N word rights" taken away. (for good reason)

But what it all comes down to, is the mods and Jupitus. If they think it was over the top, i'll have to accept the punishment. I don't have to agree with it, but i'll have to accept it none the less :)

It would be just as much (read: little) racist with and without "run niggas/******s (look, filter allows to use word ***** :cool:) run" text - that picture is in no way racist towards black people but if you try hard, really hard, you may find it racist towards white people.

How is yelling "what's up, my niggas!" racist? It could be racist in right context but a yellow duck (which is in weaker position than the rest of ducks) yelling to black ducks simply isn't.

To quote Tupac - "*****! Get it, *****! Saying ***** is whole different story to saying ******, bro". Personally I dont find either of them racist unless you use them to insult.

Racism in the eye of the beholder.


Let me look for a african person, make them come on here and say that word over and over again. If they get banned the mods are racist, if they don't get banned the mods are being prejudice? - Since, they're from the right place etc.

Indeed.
Look at the comedian, Carlos Mencia.
He makes fun of white people, black people, asians and latinos. No one is safe, and he is hilarious. Most of what he says would be considered racist if he didn't gun equally at everybody. Lets face it, stereotypes and the different "races" traits and quirks are funny. ;)

i think its ok for someone who isnt white to say racist stuff its usually considered funny (eddie murphy, richard prior etc) and i wont even attempt to count the number of black singers/rappers who call eachother n[word] left right and center, but you get a white person doing it and theres always the general suspicion that theyre using humour to disguise racist meaning.

Personally i dont like the word i dont like it when used by anyone i think its stupid and its generally used to shock. Its like pakki i thought that started out as a cricket term and was used perfectly innocently because pakistani is a bit of a mouthful but you get people using something in an offensive way and it becomes a bad word, personally i hate it when people refer to me as "ginger" although its a perfectly acceptable name, a nice root spice and one of the main characters from gilligans island its usually used with nasty undertones and said with a certain inflection so that in its self its not a bad word but the way its said its really quite hurtful.

why say stuff thats likely to really hurt someone imo, why bother? theres loads of stuff you can say to make people laugh or think about something or be a bit of a Oo shocker but theres no need to use words spitefully.

saying this it'd be interesting to know what black people actually think of the word when used by either black or white people, anyone out there able to answer this?

If the black person is racist he will aggro on white people who use *****/****** word but if the black person isn't racist he doesn't give a flying fuck who use such words and this, of course, depends totally on the context/situation the word is used in. The words alone aint racist at all.

I'm offended by you.

I remember getting a 3 day ban for my Anti-Horner cartoon because I reffered to French women in a negative light :(

paki is racist.. yeh ofc :[
In Britain the word "paki" was used as a disparaging term for a person from Pakistan or neighboring countries or for the descendant of such a person created during the race riots in the 1980's. Thats why it is offensive in this country, because it was/is used in that context.

However abroad the acronym Paki -Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Iran coined in the 1930's excluded :Sindhis, Siraiki, Pashtun, Baloch and Muhajir as well as Bengala (of former east Pakistan)

So yes, in Britain it is regarded as a racial slur

Doh edit timer,
Taking into the consideration the context of his post he did use the word "paki" as a racial slur (at least thats how i read it),
and quite rightly was banned for it.

Hope that clears things up
