Go for it, I don't have a desire to use the word outside of ordering ginger ale.

Don’t you mean ginga ale?

 

[RokkanStoned]

While the premise of the thread was too antagonistic, I can't help chuckling at the thought of reds (is that the correct term? or is it oranges?) going around saying "mah ginga".

 

[Ridcully]

Tim Minchin, is that you?

See, this is where we can find common ground: humour.

Am I allowed to buy ginger ale as a non ginger red headed person?

Why do you have a redheaded avatar? Are you committing digital redhair?

 

[infinitys_7th]

My sister and two of my cousins have red hair.
I don't have red hair but I have red beard.

Where do I fall in line?

By the one-strand rule, you are a ginger.

 

[Grinchy]

As long as you don't say it out loud, you're allowed to completely fund the entire ginger ale industry with your dollars.

 

[JORMBO]

Oh man, I didn't even realize that. I am breaking all kinds of rules.

 

[bucyou]

I believe the correct term is "hue appropriation".

 

[bitbydeath]

I thought if gingers walked around in the day they turned into a pile of freckles?

They do but they don’t burn.

The Daywalker is a Ginger that does not burn in direct sunlight. Hated by true Gingers, the Daywalker can sustain extended periods in sunlight and even has traces of a soul. Because they are still part Ginger, freckles may or may not be present.

Did this just turn into a Blade thread? I'm down for that.

I wonder when gingers will get their own Netflix show celebrating redheaded people called "No Soul Train".

You all suck. I have a soul!!!

Ouch.

**pretends to cry, but fakes it as I have no soul**

You guys are mean. I'm going to start PM'ing mods.

 

[RokkanStoned]

Thinking about it, can gingers red hair people even play Dark Souls? Or do they do a pyromancer lvl 1 run without upgrades? Isn't this a big barrier for them to overcome?

Also, can anyone think about a red haired game character that wasn't soulless or a soulsucking demon? I'm drawing a blank.

You just made the list.

I mean we do it for everything else, why not lol

Oh sure, they will always take your money.

Dear Bald People

Don't forget to shame bald people who think the show is about them.

You people are always stirring trouble. Damn gin.. punks.

http://omgfacts.com/the-violent-history-of-red-hair/
In Biblical times, Judas the betrayer of Christ was often portrayed as a redhead. That was intentional, as a way to “other” him from Jesus’s remaining dark-haired apostles while also sneaking in subtly anti-Semitic stereotypes. That portrayal — perhaps more than any other — has influenced the perception of redheads as villains around the world.

 

[Liberty4all]

This thread reminds me of GAF pre 2007. This is a good thing.

Two pages and noe one has posted this yet? For shame.

 

[Basoes]

so where did we stand on the normal hair but red beard? I fall into this category, a light toned ginger?

 

[Musky_Cheese]

What if you dye your hair red?

 

[RokkanStoned]

Sounds like the ginger equivalent of vitiligo. I don't know where your privilege falls in this case. It depends, red beard will likely mean that you're more privileged than those with red hair, but less privileged than those with red body hair. It goes on visibility, as gingerness is based on visible signals of gingerness and to the public ginger body hair just isn't treated as ginger. That might be its own silent discrimination and suppression of red power.
I would guess it would depend on the bushiness of the beard, the tone of redness and if you shave it often. People might just be thinking you've eaten tomato sauce or ketchup and spilled it on your beard, that falls into obvious fake gingerness and people will still view you as non-ginger and a lot of them will be appalled if they think you're doing Redbeard.

 

[Papa]

My grandmother was English and had flame red hair. My pubes and beard have ginga hairs scattered throughout - I would guess maybe 30% are ginga. How many oppression points do I get?

Oh, god. The last line. LMAO

I totally expected a thread full of pretty red heads

1.5% IS NOT ENOUGH..... REPRODUCE, MY GINGER BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zumphry]

what if a non-redheaded child with cancer only had 3 weeks left to live and their last with to the make a wish foundation was to be able to say 'ginger' just once. are you telling me its not okay for a non-redhead to say ginger in that instance?

 

[RokkanStoned]

Burn it! Thinking about it, can you even burn gingers or are you just making them stronger? Isn't etherizing someone inherently to gingerize them? Problem Child 4: Mah Ginga we're burnin' souls now.

Fuck that kid. If its wrong its wrong, that's the logic.

That's for us to know...

When the sun touches our skin, we get points points from God, normies call them freckles, but they don't know the true meaning.

 

[infinitys_7th]

The only time it is acceptable for a non-redhead to say "ginger" is if, on Christmas Eve, as you just picked up the only present you could afford for your wife, a redheaded pseudoalbino covered in freckles mugs you and steals the present.

As he is running away, in all his Ron Howard-esque assholery, you can turn and yell, "You ginger!"

 

[Fbh]

My sister and two of my cousins have red hair.
I don't have red hair but I have red beard.

Where do I fall in line?

Hahah lol me too.

But you aren't asking the right questions here. Who cares if we can or can't say Ginger. But do we have a soul? Do we have half a soul? What te hell happens when we die ?

Lol half breeds.
A true ginger never dies; but is reborn as red hairs on the beards of non believers.

Those random red colored pubes you have..... That's my great, great grans.

I understand this is fine because they're not using the hard "R."

Are all these gingas related?
(word of advice, this place is only for us of red hair pigmentation, our soulless constitution allows us not to be baited, which this clearly is)

How's it hanging? That's some pretty dark humor there mate, would be careful 'bout that 'round these parts. Or is the punchline that at least she won't get wet? Yikes, that's pretty edgy even for these parts.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Yeah, let's not turn into /pol/. We can joke about modern identity politics without being disrespectful towards those who have suffered during the worst of racial prejudice.

That'd be one thing, if said post wasn't an attempt at disruption of a topic that clearly went into jolly fun instead of its antagonistic origin, by going for the *shock factor*. More so, the humor is multi-layered (if anyone spotted it) and self-conscious, so hardly /pol/ material and hardly disrespectful.

Should gingers be allowed to vote?

I just wouldn't have acknowledged the bait. Granted, I think the use of Emmet Till and a lynching photo as bait is disrespectful in and of itself, but responding to it in a mocking way just brings you down to that same level.

Just ignore it. No reason to sink to their level.
