In design software you call it a parent and child relationship (which if you really wanted to drill down, could also be problematic, but it's the best we've got).

We have that with inheritance in software and hardware when something creates or spawns a new incarnation of itself with either a subset or the whole dataset the parent had

So that’s taken and would confuse matters

And it’s also faintly Crap

A couple of cunts have already posted there. A couple of good people as well

Hahaha.

Mostly people agreed with Nick, nice to see.

But that twat who says it’s not the word that people don’t like, it’s the meaning when talking about entertainers in makeup.

Yes, and calling the local shop owned by Asians the P shop (pejorative removed, but you know the one I mean) is fine if you aren’t intending to be racist (and yes, people still do that)

Precisely the reason to make these sort of small incremental changes, to help weed-out these horrible outdated terms that have their roots in horrible shit.

Sure, we're not going to solve racism by rebranding some amps in our stupid little nerd vernacular, but it introduces new thoughts and attitudes as to what is acceptable and what isn't.

Who doesn't want to be a bit more compassionate, at a cost of precisely zero??

I think TGP user "Steven Meier" is certainly open to making those small incremental changes and being a little more compassionate.

People are so easily offended it is so annoying!

I will never ever call a Fender Amp from that era anything other than Blackface or Brownface!

I wonder what parts of his life have been ruined by people trying to be less offensive?

I mean, they politely asked him to leave the Capitol Building after he'd been prancing around inside for a few hours...

The second anyone trots out "SJW", their opinion is null and void anyways, and every word now alternates between 'trumpet parp' and 'fart sound effect' in my head

Holy shit 😂

I wonder what the reaction would be if this thread was posted on Jag-Stang.

Did the thread get deleted or moved or something? I can't see it now (it's telling me I have to be logged in).

Created an account and still can't see it. Have they moved it to the Super Classifieds?

Yeah must have been deleted. Probably doesn’t help that I made that thread with a post count of 2 there, it was probably seen as a troll.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that most of the responses were supportive with only a few bellends raging about SJWs. I underestimated the TGP crowd (like the judgemental bigot I clearly am).

"did you guys ever think about how.."

"NOO TROLL! WE'LL HAVE NO THINKING HERE!!!"

Hahahahha

The mods there are so racist that they deleted it before I even got a chance to click on the link?


Woooooow


I don't even know what the gear page is though.....I thought you were talking about the telecaster page this whole time

Is this the website where they had that thing where you could make little cartoon pedal boards and move around your shit?

Does it surprise you they have a GUN THREAD that made it 5 years and 260 pages?

Bearboy mentioned posting it to TGP (The Gear Page). TDP (Telecaster Discussion Page) is a sub-forum to TGP. There's overlap, and on TGP you have greater chance of running into both Telecaster AND Les Paul owners. Anyway, I was able to skim the several pages of posts just before it got taken down, wish I'd screen capped but it surprisingly wasn’t too different than the mix of responses I got here on Shortscale, aside from a few snowflakes.


This was my only ever other post on TGP, in a thread called "Bands you're supposed to like but don't". I don't remember why I ever made an account but I was occasionally getting emails about new threads and every post in this thread was exactly what I imagined.

My favorite response was the person who blew right past any context and just started listing the different "color" "faceplate" fender amps they owned and how they all sounded, how they compared to others, what changed with production years, which one sounded better with dirt etc.

We'll never know if that person was interested in expanding social consciousness and helping build a more egalitarian and compassionate society or if the were looking for the nearest hill to die on if it could mean sticking it to an SJW; all we'll ever know is that they were instantly jazzed to talk about their 1963 amp in adoring detail

that sounds like he completely posted seriously what I posted sarcastic as a joke

Like no one wants a 76 Twin or a 89 red knobbies twin
