There is no such thing as "homophobia". That is just one more leftist lie on a very long list. In addition to being a lie, it also a slur. So if you want to object to people using slurs towards you, you would be more persuasive if you refrained from reciprocating with one yourself while registering your objection.
That's a homophobic slur? Only if you wish to ascribe that meaning to it, I guess. As far as I am concerned, it describes a guy who is or pretends to be overly sensitive.
http://www.advocate.com/crime/2014/12/09/us-1-5-reported-hate-crimes-target-gay-or-bi-victims 1 in 5 hate crimes attributed to gay people and you think "homophobia" doesn't exist and is leftist propaganda? Really? It's like denying racism exists just because you avoid threads of racism like the NC voter ID thread. I know we share the same earth but what world do you guys live in?
Yeah, it's like denying Islamophobia exists. Funny how that works. These people are really nuts - the full spectrum of them. Bobby, ATW, Bandwagoner, Rojo, Mojo, BigTexxx, Rocketslegend - have turned the D&D into Grand Central KKK. We are on the internet dealing with the bigoted psychos we never come across in our day-to-day lives.
A phobia is a fear of something. Nobody is afraid of homosexuals. Many people regard their sexual practices as disgusting, but that is not a phobia. It is the phobia assertion that is the lie. And you people repeat this lie quite frequently.
I think in general the board is left leaning, but if you read this forum you would think this is stormfront.
You're getting a taste of the modern day American liberal. If you happen to have any right-leanings, then you're by definition racist, bigoted and taking advantage of white privilege. That's the extent of the lefties' thinking. It's a sad state.
Well, New Yorker also called Muslims modern-day Nazis. So I guess we are just dealing with a mentally unstable person there that says crazy things for effect. The effect being some desperately wanted attention. He just changed his schtick to cater to the more vocal leftists on this board.
There is a rumor going out that it was someone from the LGBTQ community who feels oppressed. I swear this victim hood mentality is now getting people injured and killed. And you know it just another mentally ill liberal.
Why do they get attacked 20% in hate crimes specifically because they're gay? If it's not fear then what is it? Do you remember AIDs being called the gay disease at one point? Have you no sense of history at all?
No I'm listening. I just think in this particular forum you are going to see people saying things to win an argument that they don't really believe to the core. Oh sure, some of the more extreme posters here on both sides (who will remain nameless) probably could benefit from some introspection. Nevertheless, most of the folks I meet in real life are just avg people who are looking to live and let live. I imagine the same is true here. In my opinion, ascribing terms like "bigot" to people is counterproductive...even if you believe the term is accurate in your mind because it immediately shuts down productive dialogue. I understand this isn't always the point of conversations here...but if there is ever going to be improvement then we have to start talking TO each other rather than AT each other. Peace.
It is not because of fear. As a result, the assertion by you that people who happen to disagree with you on matters of politics are "homophobic" - having a fear of homosexuals - is a flat-out, bold face lie. And every time you repeat that lie, you further establish yourself as a liar. Some people are bigoted towards all people who engage in homosexual practices. That is unfortunate and I wish that were not so. Other people find the sexual practices of homosexuals to be revolting and disgusting, but hold no animosity towards these people as individuals. That is just those people's opinion and they should be entitled to it, unless you people really do believe it is your place to regulate people's thoughts and to force them to always agree with whatever happens to be regarded as politically correct at a given moment. Regardless, the "homophobia" slur is a flat out lie that is used by liars.
What is bringing down the hangout not the D&D, but that is up for Debate who may be using an alt username to cause problems in Unsorted. This of course all falls back to Uncertain who has been giving Castor headaches for years.
