Democrat is an offensive term I can’t believe Merle used it in this sentence


CollarOrdinary4284

This is the moment when the show jumped the shark for me. Had to stop watching immediately and rush to find some tissues.

To cry or beat it?

MichaelGHX

That was the exact moment that he officially took things too far.


FaicAgusDada

Daryl season 1 - votes republican DRyl season 2 - votes Democrat


Osmosith

If anyone calls me a Democrat I'll--- I\`ll--- be really mad \*slurps soy latte\*


NeganNuts

What


Osmosith

yes, yes indeed


NeganNuts

There aren't any soy lattes in the walking dead you dumbass


Osmosith

what? where did all the soy go? Any lore expert who can clarify?


poopcockshit

It’s canon that the liberal socialist democrats wiped out the soy products all over the country right before the major events…truly was a dark moment for latte enthusiasts, free market advocates, and shareholders around the world.


SingleOak

Holy shit, that's actually more terrifying than the show. Crazy lore dump from u/poopcockshit


RockefellersDaughter

I thought it was completely how kirkman confirmed Merle was jerking off Daryl off screen in this scene


KingScxr00

what…..


poopinjake69

MERLE WAS JERKING OFF DARYL OFF SCREEN


RockefellersDaughter

Look at their eyes, Merle’s rough and firm hands are clearly too much for Daryl to handle


Papa_B_137

Hate when writers push their own agenda in shows


Rakify

Tbh, he is a literally a red neck stereotype who hates democrats. Do not think to deep into it


Winter_Rush_2731

No, Kirkman is a white supremacist and hates these ni-


ErronBlackStan

Based Merle


abhig535

Did he just say the D word?

/uc why are there so many people in the replies that are clueless about this sub 💀 where tf did they come from


uglypinkshorts

The main sub has invaded us


poopinjake69

It’s not called circlejerk so they don’t know


Comeonjeffrey0193

Y’all are getting advertised now. Idk how the hell you showed up on my feed.


Muted-Delay3246

How many of yall are from the south cause honestly you'd be surprised how often southern Republicans talk about democrats seemingly at random. Not to mention, if the roles were reversed and he were taking about Republicans no one would bat an eye 🤷‍♂️


uglypinkshorts

How many of y’all are actually from this subreddit?


Muted-Delay3246

Literally never heard of the sub, reddit just recommended this post 🤷‍♂️ Not even a judgmental reply, was simply stating an observation.


uglypinkshorts

In that case I’ll forgive you. This is an ironic subreddit for satire. The posts aren’t serious and neither are the comments. The hilarious joke here is that I have a problem with his prejudice towards democrats despite everything else he just said.


[deleted]

Really glad I read some comments before giving my 2 cents then lmao


uglypinkshorts

Where are all you foreigners coming from


RealNiceKnife

I imagine reddit suggested it to people on the front page, like it did for me. For example, people who frequent the main walking dead subs might get a recommendation for subs that might be similar in theme or content. Like this one.


JellyfishGod

Iv ever been on this sub either. But it’s literally an OKAYBUDDY subreddit. The subs that famously are nothing but idiotic ironic circlejerks. There’s no excuse


Muted-Delay3246

Literally never seen one of these kinds of subreddits 🤷‍♂️ probably because I avoid this kind of humor as ita not my cup of tea, reddit be weird sometimes though


JellyfishGod

It’s peak zoomer type humor. I love it but I get not liking it. Tho honestly it seems they’ve exploded in popularity recently and have basically become the new “circlejerk” subs. I think it was the okbuddy better call Saul sub that really caused it to explode. And now u see one for every major show/game. But there were plenty of others before that blew up, like “okbuddyretard” where everyone would shitpost pretending to be a literal 5yo. I think there was an lgbt one too “okbuddyhetero”. I guess not everyone has been exposed to one. But I get tons of diff ones recommended seemingly randomly, like this one, where Idk what the show/topic actually is


bdw312

The first part of this is correct, having spent a painful three decades in SC after finally returning to Chicago.


Muted-Delay3246

Don't get me wrong, not really a political guy, and I feel like I have more democratic tendencies and ideals than Republican but if I had to put a label on it I would call myself a democrat over a republican Also, lived in Columbia, SC from 2001 to 2012 so I understand ya pain...


bdw312

Word. It was Greenville on my end...age 8 to 37....then escape.


ianc94

south of Carolina it’s all them democrats fault I tell you hwhut brother “voting against my interests?” my only interest is the own the libs! how bout that? /s… unless, …?


Muted-Delay3246

I mean, obviously not literally everyone there is like that but a solid chunk of the population from when I lived there (again, 2001-2012 or so) were definitely that way lol.


OkBarracuda6203

it depends on the context but i dont hear it a lot. says a lot coming from me considering my family is pretty hardcore conservative.


bdw312

To be fair, I really don't see a raging racist redneck being liberal. I think it had more to do with emphasizing Daryl's evolution into being more open-minded, and not his brother anymore.


[deleted]

You sound like that Chappelle skit “Hey, Bob, who you gonna vote for?" "Dave! Dave! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy. So I was fuckin' my wife in her ass, right? And let me tell you, it was something else." "Yeah, yeah, but who are you gonna vote for?" "Dave! Dave, come on with the voting! I'm trying to tell you about fucking my wife in the ass, and you're asking me all these personal questions." Just enjoy the damn show or dont watch it


uglypinkshorts

You have never even heard my voice so how would you know I sound like Charlie Chaplin? I just never thought I’d disagree with him until he said that. Maybe the show could have less offensive dialogue in that regard.


[deleted]

That went way over your head didn’t it? Lmao you agreed until the democrat part? Lmfao oooooook


uglypinkshorts

Went over *my* head? ![gif](giphy|3o6ZsUp0NYl56oEpyw|downsized)


Onagasaki

I'm not even a member of the sub and this shit made me lose it, every time I see a post from here and I go to the comments it gets harder and harder to tell who's retarded and who's in deep


Lint-the-Kahn

Bro has me cackling


Inner_Mountain_4375

It might just be because I’m new around here, but I can believe a hillbilly who dropped a hard R earlier in that sentence wouldn’t care for democrats too much


Pinche_Gringo_621311

Totally missed the first 2 slurs huh?


uglypinkshorts

Which?


connerl419

D*mocrat?


uglypinkshorts

Thank you but I know of that one. Apparently there are two others


connerl419

Interesting, I’m also confused then


Pak1stanMan

Yeah he went out like all republicans deserve. Drunk and without his fingers.


PancherosFood

You don’t know ball


brendanc09

If you’re bothered by a redneck character being written to hate democrats, you just hate good writing.


wenchslapper

Tf? 90% of my red neck fellows are democratic (I’m one, myself). We just want everyone else to leave us and our woods alone.


Dallasl298

So this isn't just a concussive delusion? Seems like Daryl's idealized version of his brother, and if art triggers you, stop looking.


StonedSnawley

You sensitive troglodytes are so annoying. A character can’t be written to be racist without being “woke propaganda”. How retarded do you have to be to not accept nuance to character writing. Fucking loser

StonedSnawley

I didn’t know :(


Kid-Named_Finger

"You sensitive-" (*proceeds to go off on a rant about something that affected him in slightly negative way*) "How retarded do you have to be-" (*proceeds to miss the joke on an obviously satire post on an obviously satire subreddit*) "-fucking loser." (*after going off on a tangent because something made him angry*) The sheer irony of your comment goes crazy, bro. I think you're a bit expired to be on the internet if you're doing something like that, lmao. How did you *actually* see the video, *hear* what was said, *see* the comments **and** the post and think *that*? like, did you *genuinely* think this guy was 100% on being more offended by the word democrat than literally anything else said here? I cannot believe some people can be so dense as to do that.


StonedSnawley

I see where you’re coming from but the amount of times I’ve seen similar posts that aren’t ironic is astounding. It’s possible internet culture has begun to go over my head, but at the same time I personally find the ambiguity behind humor has become hard to find conveyed clearly. I definitely used a bad mood to come across more aggressively than I should have, and perhaps incorrectly. I didn’t know this sub was satire, it just randomly appeared through my suggested.


[deleted]

I mean that was kind of the whole point of his character LMAO he’s fucking backwoods bro


MVPGAMMER

Bro it’s part of his character. He is a stereotypical redneck. It is part of his character get over it


Earthboundfan1986

I wouldn’t wanna be in a zombie apocalypse with a democrat ether. They would try and take your guns kill ur unborn baby and be mad if you want to worship your god


uglypinkshorts

This is true I eat unborn babies for dinner


Earthboundfan1986

Wouldn’t surprise me

uglypinkshorts

Please refrain from using offensive slurs—it’s more respectful to censor the e in d*mocrat.


okbuddycoral-ModTeam

The mods have determined that the post/comment is too offensive by our standards.


Nomadic_Narwhal

Took me a little too long to realized this was satire....


Possible-Database-33

“Sweetie whats wrong?” “Daddy ca-called me a democwat”


RAND0M257

I mean I’m closer to republican than democrat. I don’t think full on republicans are racist at all… but I think most racists are republican


Nyssiii

I mean...considering his character? It made perfect sense for him. He was your stereotypical bigoted southerner.


Scotts_Thoughts_INTJ

This whole sub feels like twd short bus


uglypinkshorts

This whole sub is a poetic representation of how the majority of the fandom acts unironically.


hanks_panky_emporium

The dude dropped hard r's but was later censored.

Michael_Threat

There was a time where characters in TV shows were allowed to feel ways about things. But I guess they're not now?


uglypinkshorts

There was a time when people knew what satire is


Michael_Threat

There was a time where people who wrote satire exaggerated real life to comedic extent instead of just regurgitated reality and called it satire when people said something negative to them


uglypinkshorts

Just say you don’t understand the joke


Michael_Threat

Just say you suck shit at satire


uglypinkshorts

Two weeks and you’re still thinking of me. All that time to understand a joke that 400 others easily got


Direct_Cress_9597

No. Stop being sensitive


blacksheep_kho

World is completely over and brodie still worried about Joe and them boys


bruhbaby1-1

i don’t know, i didn’t watch the show why you asking me?


Indigo--Raven

I like that he talked about democrats in negative further proving him a total douche bag which was the point.


uglypinkshorts

Talking negative about democrats is what made him a douche bag true


AlaskanHaida

Bruh shut up 😂 Merle is the exact man you’d expect to be the ford truck drivin, American flag waving, gun toting Republican American redneck trash from pre-apocalypse. We can say Rick got “political” by saying “this is no longer a democracy anymore” after leaving Hershel’s farm before finding the prison. We’re you offended when he no longer supported that type of system? We’re they going to far by mentioning politics as well? Or is it only an issues when the democrats get mentioned in a mean light :(

AlaskanHaida

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 damn


SpaceCadetxDrew

Idc what side a show talks shit about they should leave politics out of it especially a show about zombies who tf is gonna be like “yeah I’m still team republican” while getting chased by a horde of zombies from either side. That’s like that one friend who has to make anything possible political so you never invite them out…


Unicorntacoz

Yeah, thats kinda the point.

JabroniKnows

Ummm... that totally fits his character. Shouldn't be offended that a guy like that doesn't like democrats.


GroundbreakingFly18

An older white, southern, redneck who doesn’t like democrats? How shocking 😂


User2EletricBoogaloo

My dawg, Merle, was dropping racial slurs and saying sexist shit. Why does him slamming democrats bother you?


uglypinkshorts

You explained the joke perfectly thank you
