>this is actually when she's mad about Kitten or some shit
>doesn't want anyone to know their new friend is space racist
She's a nice kid. Good thing her part robot friend shared the issues he had as a part robot.

FUCK BATMAN

DESPITE MAKING UP JUST 13% OF THE POPULATION TAMARANEANS COMMITTED HALF OF HOMICIDES IN THEIR SECTOR FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS IT SEEMS THAT GREEN LANTERNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM MOREOVER LANTERNS AND ALL OTHER SPACE OFFICERS ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH TAMARANEANS WHO DON'T THINK THAT ANY LIFE MATTERS BUT THEIRS SOUNDS LIKE RACISM TO ME

Boob jiggle!

God I fucking hate Tameraneans, the manhunters should've just wiped them out

Do the Green Lantern Corps even exist on the Teen Titans universe?

Heck, ignore that, does Batman exist?

Fuck Batman.
But yeah, don't they reference him a bit without ever actually saying his name?

What would be a slur for earthlings?

Mudballs?

It's okay Star, I have to face discrimination everyday because I'm part robot

Monkeys or apes.

hey cyborg, this is a false statement.
Also are you related to Robot Man?

meatbags

this was both the funniest and realest moment of that episode. the writers knew what they were doing and we all got it.

I've never understood how this is an insult for humans
we are literally apes
and while we aren't monkeys, how the fuck would an alien know
1. what a monkey is
2. how that's insulting
3. how it's any more insulting that literally any other earth animal
Like, how hard to aliens have to study humans to know that we are distantly related to monkeys but related enough to where there are enough comparisons to us to make a connection, but not enough for us to feel some level of connection ourselves
How hard do they have to study human culture to find out that we see monkeys as creatures of lower intelligence, but only when directly compared to ourselves

humans fucking love monkeys, we think they are silly and cute and it's only an insult when they are trying to insult our intelligence

There are thousands of fucking animals, but only monkeys, donkeys/mules, and a select few other animals are considered insults when comparing someone

Imagine an alien walking up to you and saying "you haven't developed FTL travel? these humans are just fucking salamanders, huh?"

It just doesn't track

>I've never understood how this is an insult for humans
The truth hurts and humans like to pretend we exist outside of the natural order for whatever dumb reason.

>how the fuck would an alien know...what a monkey is
Ok so transcending the void between stars is a simple task for aliens, but zoology and anthropology is somehow above their understanding?

Well aliens are written by humans, so their dialogue is going to retain certain biases.

The idea is that, to aliens, who obviously don't have specialized areas in the brain to distinguish the features of humans from each other, humans look similar to monkeys. They don't have to know that we are distantly related to monkeys, they just have to know that we look like monkeys and monkeys are not the dominant creature.

If there were a race of alien pig men out there, but they coexisted with non-humanoid pigs, they would look similar to us but they would consider the comparison derogatory.

As a real life comparison, imagine if you were Japanese but someone you knew kept forgetting and calling you Chinese.

>The truth hurts and humans like to pretend we exist outside of the natural order for whatever dumb reason.
But what exactly is truthful
That we are as dumb as monkeys?
That we are as relatively smart as monkeys compared to other aliens?
That we aren't animals?
Like honestly, if some alien called me a monkey, I probably wouldn't bat an eye because they aren't technically wrong
Obviously I would be more surprised that aliens existed

But even in the far off future where humans coexist with several other races, now everybody knows what a monkey is?
For what reason?
Just for an overplayed human joke? do people even care about humans that much?

>Ok so transcending the void between stars is a simple task for aliens, but zoology and anthropology is somehow above their understanding?
Well for one it's alien zoology, so they would not only require that information but cultural context
They absolutely could if they were some all knowing god race, but like, why the fuck would they give a shit?
Why would they specifically attempt (obviously succeed) translating just to get to the point where they can come up with an accurate joke that we can understand and feel hurt by?
What's the point?
Do they feed off of pettiness?

It just doesn't make sense

>If there were a race of alien pig men out there, but they coexisted with non-humanoid pigs, they would look similar to us but they would consider the comparison derogatory
But how would they honestly know just by looking?

Like, calling someone a monkey is only something we understand as insulting because of the cultural context
Monkeys aren't particularly stupid, especially when compared to every other animal

right, but outside of that
if aliens were real and one of them walked up to you, smirked, and called you a fucking monkey
would you give a shit?
would you be like, this fucking bald head ass, cow probing, 1950s b movie looking bitch wants to throw down?

Most slurs I feel are probably just understood as slurs. at the very least at first but that's all that they need to understand. Being called a monkey is demeaning for whatever reason, so call them a monkey to demean them. If they ever learn context, monkeys are considered goofy dumb animals by most.
Aliens don't need to know what a monkey is, just that being called a Monkey is bad.

>Being called a monkey is demeaning for whatever reason
monkeys can be cute
monkeys can be playful
monkeys, in various media, are shown as clever to a pretty high degree (especially folktales)

>Aliens don't need to know what a monkey is, just that being called a Monkey is bad.
why monkeys?
why not primates, lemurs, simians, any other specific word that conveys a similar group with a similar genetic distance?
Why not animals that are actually dumb, that we consider dumb, that have evolved poorly (sloths, koalas, giant pandas)

They need not only the knowledge of biology and the cultural intelligence, and it just doesn't make sense to have aliens have those things just for the sheer sake of insulting us
What is even the point of them doing that?

They can be but for the most part they're regarded as lesser creatures outside of folk tales.

You're missing my point, Aliens don't need the full context, they just need someone to give them the idea that being called a monkey is bad. Like you don't need the context of why being called a spook or a wop is bad, you just need to know it's a derogatory term. In this context, aliens just want to demean.

>they just need someone to give them the idea that being called a monkey is bad
Obviously they are smart enough to know how to travel to other planets, but they need to know what makes monkey worse than anything else
and it isn't honestly worse than much else
why don't more aliens call people retards or invalids?

>Like you don't need the context of why being called a spook or a wop is bad, you just need to know it's a derogatory term
You kinda do
It's why suburban white kids try to use the nword

I don't get what you mean by white kids saying nigger.
>Why don't they call more people retards are invalids
Because it's a g-rated show. Also the idea of monkey in a meta context is to create an implication of species bias, whereas retard is just a common assault on one's intelligence.

Furthermore, if you're a white dude in space and some alien drops a hard R right in your face, what would you do?
Do you take offense?
Based on human culture, black people are often seen as lesser, different species, not as intelligent
Do you get mad because they compared you to a black person, even if you're closer to a black person than literally anything else in the universe other than any other kind of person?

>Because it's a g-rated show
At the same time, they obviously use slurs and it's a pretty apt metaphor for racism

What if some alien called you a cancer patient, you know, because human dna is prone to replication errors that grow too often

Do you take offense to that?
Shouldn't you take offense to that in the same way that you've been called a monkey?

I feel like the only reason people view getting called a monkey is either because
1. they've been conditioned to view it as hurtful through media
2. it's steeped in racial no-nos because someone is trying to deny another human's humanity

dude JUST calm down , another word more and user gets more embarrassed

*called a monkey as bad

Who did you think paid for Titans Tower? It's literally a youth work volunteer program batman setup for minor threats the justice league don't need to go global for.

Cyborg's father did it in the comics, IDK about the cartoon.

You realize those are the same person, right?
Both of those are me
which is fucking crazy because those gets are so similar

If I remember the Worldwar series by Harry Turtledove, the lizard-like aliens always called humans (and each other sometimes) "addled in the egg" which is basically calling humans retarded because they either killed their kings (the alien emperors are treated like gods) or participate in "snout-counting" (elections).

And that makes sense because it's their own language, or at least their own specific culture and biology driving those specific insults
Humans don't lay eggs, but they don't give a shit, that's not going to stop them from insulting us and it doesn't make sense for them to actually learn specific things about human biology and culture just to make a specific sort of reference as an insult

>White supremacists in space getting called black by aliens
Something about that seems hilarious.
It's the first one.
And while tackling the racial metaphors, creators can still be dick shy.
>I'm part robot.

>Aliens calling humans cancer patients
Dammit, this is one of those weird conceptual jokes that'd be funny to literally nobody but me. Aliens so devoid of human context creating slurs based on things they gleamed.

That's actually an interesting point if an alien that had differing biology from us that made cancer redundant, or if they could see on an atomic level, we would look rather odd with chunks of our genetic makeup just ripping itself apart.

That's one of my beefs with the whole idea of aliens calling humans monkeys
Aliens are just too alien to make that their go to insult for humans

wait. all male Tameraneans are fat neckbeards.

And all the chicks are hot.

Man i gotta go to space.

But think about it like this
You can't fly or shoot beams of light
you're literally just handicapped
So if you're the most attractive handicapped being on the planet, you probably have just as good of a chance there as you do here

I don't know if this makes me super racist or something, but when i was a kid watching this scene, I didn't even blink when cyborg said that. I was like ' that makes sense' and it wasn't until much later that it even occurred to be it could have been a race thing.

>evolved poorly
>sloths
Now hold your nuts mr.nigger bean. The sloth is evolution proving retards wrong and putting sociopaths in thier place. From once knocking over trees they towered above to now only needing to shit once a week to God himself warning man about this babies, you best watch your verbal shithole next time you go slinging heat.

I'm sorry user
I diagnose you with technobigotry

Just because sloths exist now doesn't mean they evolved well
they barely evolved, they are suited to their specific environment and nothing else which is probably why they are going to be extinct if we don't stop with our bullshit

And who knows, maybe we'll have megafauna once the humans die and the world is filled with oxygen again

imagine cancer being like the flu to aliens
>aw, did the poor little human catch cancer
>why not just molt and regrow the part that has canc- oh that's right, you're a fucking human
>aw what that? it spread to your lymph nodes? boo hoo

>Cancer is the Japanese flu of the universe

Figures Cyborg can't really say being black is big a deal when his teammates are green and gray
