On an unrelated note, anyone know a good name for a group of young men participating in a predominantly white, affluent past time like golf, or even skiing? The name will have to be purely performative of course, no edginess from it will come from actual radical stances on things, just the aesthetic will feel punk while being all bark and no bite. I’m thinking the name will be “slavery” since these boys will be slaving away in the hot sun swinging their 3 irons down the park city fairway while the rest of us get to relax at our jobs five days a week until we die. And anyone that thinks that our name is ‘tone deaf’ or ‘minimizing the seriousness of slavery’ can shove it, because we actually do care and our name is simultaneously meant to bring awareness to the issue. See, we’re the good guys no matter what! ???
 
okay, I agree that the name is somewhat tasteless, but who really cares? is this topic worth a thread? They've been making phenomenal videos for a while now under this name, I really doubt they would change it. And personally I prefer silly names like child labor to more serious names, since it is skiing after all
 
I agree. The name is entirely tasteless and incredibly bad faith

They should have gone with "Pro Child Labor" instead
 
But holy moly OP we are really really reaching here. I'm sure the children appreciate your NS post in solidarity with them though.
 
OP tried street skiing once and built the lip on the outside of the stairset. And still knocked his teefs out
 
I thought OPs whole point of posting this was to make a sarcastic joke about that article (which I didnt even click on) not that they actually thought the name Child Labor was bad???
 
Maybe theyre just jelly

I think its funny OP here thinks people in the crew actually care what he thinks

I think he just made the thread so he could downvote every post and not response like a coward.
 
I think if you knew, real life, what is going on with some of these kids rn within the crew you'd be making go-fund me's instead of these brainless posts.
 
Actually on second thought, I agree with this thread. Not only is the name Child Labor totally tasteless, but the abbreviation CL is equally tasteless because they are glorifying Caseous Lymphadenitis, commonly referred to as CL, which is a disease that affects goats and sheep.

As a goat herder, I feel personally attacked by this crew of street skiers. Why do they promote this horrible disease?? They should be more sensitive to my noble profession and I would like them to come to the farm and apologize to every goat individually.

Level 1 is offensive to those of us still stuck on Level 2. SMH how dare they.

Bruh I know, and TGR is over here talking about “gravity” and “research” knowing damn well I flunked physics ??
 
Lest we forget about the crew named “The Millbastards”? This name obviously hates on people who mill lumber for living, without whom none of us would have a roof over our head.
 
child labor is not a bad thing at all. there's a difference between slavery and kids growing up and learning how to do things.
 
Update: looks like I was wrong and owe everyone in this thread an apology.

Unrelated, but it seems I can’t find my favorite ski crew on IG anymore, perhaps they changed their name? I used to comment making fun of grown men for calling themselves children while selling beer at their premiers. I’m sure posts like mine had nothing to do with their name change which is why I owe you all an apology and am deeply sorry for this thread or the previous one I posted. Thanks for everyone’s helpful comments here though!
