In Reply to: Making light by using "babe" is, to say the least, insensitive. posted by tinear on August 7, 2012 at 08:22:41:
That would be a relevant point were Chris actually "making light" of the loss of this talented artist. Of course one could argue that making light of such a loss regardless of language used would be Rude callous and juvenile.
But there is no malice in using a term such as "babe" to denote individuals as being physically attractive. So that in and of itself is not rude nor callous nor even juvenile.
You know the one group of people you don't see protesting are the actual babes.
