Ugh and wow

[porridgeisbae]

Stopped for a pint at a bar- looked in the garden and there was some crusty scabby guy with a couple of others so I decided not to sit through there.

Had to go through there to use the loo after a bit and this bloke, with dreds and a tattoo on his forehead, was in the lady's loos. I wish I'd confronted him.

I assume he thinks having long dreds makes him a woman.

What we used to call a Crusty. But he wasn't that, probably even more fringe.

I'd say he was in his late 30s or something, not a teenager who might naturally go through that look without it necessarily signifying much.

Is red hair a signifier of drug use now?

As I said before, the underlying prejudices on thisi thread is astounding.

I see the professionally offended are out in force today 🙄

Actually I’m professionally very easy to get along with. It’s a funny thing, in my work and regular life standing by my beliefs doesn’t mean I have to throw ethnic minorities and cultural differences to the dogs. Actually here too, but sometimes it brings out the snide little name callers.

Yawn.

I have red hair but I don't have dreds. We all know that dreds in a Caucasian person is a sign they're either a druggie or (to give them the benefit of the doubt) just Crusty/indie, or both.

I'm bored now.

This is potentially one of the most ridiculously derailed threads ever 😂

Why the bloody hell was he in there should be the question on everyone's lips!

I would be more intimidated by a white bloke with face tattoos washing himself in the ladies loos than one without face tattoos.

But only a bit.

It's far more the penis having between his legs and what him being in there says about his mentality.

Hanging

But neither the poster or I were talking about ethnic groups, as you well know.

No I don't well know as you didn't say

But thank you for assuming I could read your mind 🙄

You said facial tattoos are Definitely not a good idea for anyone.

If you meant anybody white, you probably should have made it clear you didn't mean anybody, just a subset of anybody

I haven't seen anyone say he should be in there.

Comments like OP's about dreads and face tattoos are offensive and should be called out by those who are offended by then.

Just because we agree on one issue doesn't mean we will agree on everything.

Hahaha fucking hell! This thread is ridiculous.

The OP was clear. If the man had a Maori face tattoo I think she would have mentioned it.

If you couldn't follow the description then maybe you are the one who is culturally ignorant? If you're British and working class you would get it easily. Maybe you need to educate yourself on British working class culture?

OP, sorry your thread has been so laughably derailed. The guy sounds like a psycho and no way should he have been in the women's loos. It sounds like a scary experience tbh.

Comments like OP's about dreads and face tattoos are offensive and should be called out by those who are offended by then.

Sure. 'Call out' when you're offended. Even if it means missing the entire point of the thread and twisting everyone's words so that you can 'call them out' some more.

Very privileged position to be in, to be monitoring other people's speech for anything you can 'call out'. Do you work?

Everybody in the world (because the Internet is world wide as is MN) needs to educate themselves on British working class culture?

I think I called it right with the western centric view point...

This thread is certainly an interesting read after such confidence on another thread that all racist posts on the feminist board were actually left by people pretending to be feminists to make the board look bad.

Probably showing my age here but I have no idea what crusty means in relation to a person!

Where's the racism?

In the posts that have already been challenged by posters before me, and I imagine in at least one or two of the many deleted posts on this thread.

This is circular now, you are using a phase I used. Calling out" which was non-offensive, if maybe a bit annoying, and not one I usually use. Then telling me I am monitoring other people’s speech.

Yes, I work. What are you actually asking in this question?

To add, part of the reason this thread annoyed me so much is that this man should not have been in the female toilets.

The comments about his appearance deflect from the real issue and gives ammunition to those who already think such views are bigoted.

Where's the racism?

TBF the thread is like Swiss cheese with all the deletions!
