    Zero part of my identity and what I'm proud of involves calling out unhinged behavior on a NBA team fan message board so narcissism is a odd term here.

    I ain't ignoring a posting history of unhinged behavior that looks like a manifesto before someone shoots up a LGBTQ night club. Like that dedication is odd even on a political message board but dedicating this much time to anti-trans rhetoric on a NBA team fan message board is unhinged.

    If you want put him on ignore then please keep that topic in the D&D. Comment on his Sengun obsession all day long of you like here in the GARM but there is ZERO need to bring up anything not related to the Houston Rockets in this section.

    My empathy for the limelight of negative attention on the trans community they receive supersedes my love for Clutchfans BBS etiquette.

    Dude, there is a space specifically created on Clutchfans for what you want say for the trans. If following the rules here is offensive to your conscience, you can always leave.

    Did you read what I typed? A mod can suspend or ban me if they want. Again one thing supercedes another in my scale of importance.

    This page has gone off the rails, then again we had people saying sengun would be better then jokic, so maybe this isn't as absurd.

    Turkey's semifinal against Sweden doesn't pose any size challenges. If Turkey continues to shoot the ball as they have, they are on a collision course with Croatia. Both countries have a lot on the line. The winner goes to the Paris Olympic Games.

    That's a team with a true big--LA Clipper, Ivica Zubac, who has looked dominant in this tournament (and, to be honest, bored at times). Croatia also has Dario Saric, who always looks better in the international game. Curious to see the matchups.

    I was looking at these numbers while I was on the road, and you're right, they are flip-flopped. I'm interested to see how these matchups play out in the Croatia-Turkey game.

    It's interesting (to me at least) how some players look so much better playing Euro-ball than they do in the NBA. Could be a testament to differences in playstyles of different leagues, or differences in their roles in those leagues.

    The Rockets have been fortunate however to have two players who are so talented their games translate no matter what league they are playing in. Scola and Sengun.

    It is a fun forum, you get banned for racism but not being a weirdo or something.

    Stay fun, go have a swim in your pool or somewhere. It is summer.

    ATW if he has an issue against said community I am sure he would have seen some red flags raised by the mods.

    Anybody can have an issue with any community long as they're civil about it and they respect the boundaries of others..

    Same concept as "southern hospitality". I don't know if there is a term for it but I call it "fake politeness". It's more dangerous than open bigotry because milk toast moderates get suckered into it.

    There is nothing polite about spamming thousands of anti-trans posts in a NBA team fan message board. It would be odd even on a dedicated forum for politics but it's "potential mass shooter" level of unhinged doing it on a NBA team fan message board.

    Most normies don’t have a problem with the trans community until they try to shove their agenda down our throats like in a freaking Alperen Sengun thread on a basketball forum.

    I'm shoving down your throat someone shoving down people's throat anti-trans content.

    https://www.mediamatters.org/facebo...rly-two-thirds-interactions-posts-about-trans


    The massive uptick in anti-trans content is unnatural and a response to nothing that has changed on the past half decade when it comes to trans activism. Seems just like a low hanging fruit lowest common denominator topic that maximizes engagement on social media along with distracting blue collar workers from their shitty labor jobs and horrible labor practices from mega corps a long with real estate holding institutions creating software algorithms to price fix rent pricing(forming a cartel on housing and shelter). They'd rather the "people of the land" be angry at migrants and trans folks.
