Dubious disclaimer
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
(Redirected from Dubious Disclaimer)
Dubious disclaimers are disclaimers that mean absolutely nothing when taken in context with the entirety of what a person is saying. They are a sad consequence of PCism. They are largely used by racists before telling an off-color joke, starting their own white supremacist website, or talking to the actual IRL subject of their conversation.
[edit] Examples
- "I'm not a racist, but..."
- "... Niggers should all be thrown into gas chambers.
- "I'm not gay, but..."
- "... I take it in the ass."
- "I don't hate fags, but..."
- "... they're really only good for tinder."
- "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion."
- "... except you, you faggot."
- "Let's agree to disagree."
- "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
- "No offense, but..."
- "... your mother is a whore."
- "I did it for the lulz!"
- "I saw it on TV!"
- "Some of my best friends are niggers, but..."
- "... only when I need something to barbecue."
- "I'm not a racist that's what's so insane about this!"
[edit] Non-verbal disclaimers
The non-verbal motion of looking over both shoulders counts as a dubious disclaimer and also lends security to whatever piece of inflammatory information is being passed.
