Samoco Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I genuinely hope he is not trying to make fun of the flooded rivers in Germany at the moment with that "flooded river" comment. Because that would be totally inappropriate. People losing their homes is not funny at all. Oh, I think he just noticed that theres's much more water than normal, this has nothing to do with making fun. Maybe he doesn't know that it's much worse in other parts of Germany at the moment.
laurie_black Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Or, you know, he's just mentioning that there's a flooded river in the background. Well, I guess it just seemed weird to me because a few days ago a semi-prominent German girl posted a photo of herself in front of a flooded river, looking like a tourist, and she got a major shitstorm for that. And the tone of that didn't exactly seem sympathtic, but maybe you're right and I'm reading too much into it. Maybe he really isn't aware what's going on in other parts of Germany right now, so that kind of excuses him. But it still seems a bit inappropriate to me.

I don't think he was trying to make a joke at all. He was posing in front of the city because it's the city where he was born, not because there was a flood. I think he only added the flooded river part just to acknowledge the obvious fact that there's a flood there at the moment.

I didn't want to suggest Tre had any kind of bad intent, it just came across as a bit - thoughtless maybe - given recent cirumstances to pose in front of a flooded river like a tourist. Anyways, I probably reacted a bit too sensitively. And by the way, one more picture from Mr. Cool : My man, Mr. Death, making the rounds... #whowantstomeetElvis?
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I genuinely hope he is not trying to make fun of the flooded rivers in Germany at the moment with that "flooded river" comment. Because that would be totally inappropriate. People losing their homes is not funny at all. How on earth would you even think he was trying to make fun of anything by saying "flooded river"?! Tre almost always states the obvious in his pictures to point out where he is or what he is in front of etc. In this case it is a flooded river. It also happens to he his birthplace of all places so why would he ridicule people losing their homes etc?! Im starting to think there are people in the world who want to see offence everywhere geez.

I actually wanted to let this go now, but... no, I don't want to see offense anywhere, it's a sensitive subject at the moment and like I said, one person got into a major shitstorm here in Germany for basically doing the same thing. And one person right above me actually laughed about that part of his comment, which prompted me to say that I hoped it hadn't been intended as a joke by Tre. I think that explains it sufficiently. Just forget what I said.

Just forget what I said. Don't worry, I can see the reason for your concern. I explained in my post why I think it's different since he wasn't posing because of the flood, just acknowledging that there's a flood while posing in front of the city where he was born. But there was nothing wrong with questioning it. But you've already changed the subject anyway so yeah. #WhowantstomeetElvis?
Tubbie Head Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Mr. Death At first I though it was a Death Eater! Then I saw the ax. #potterhead
Cath Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 i love the way Tre found a way to put the word mom in his hastag and what the fuck with the last picture? haha
