Hoo boy, I've got my work cut out for me. Teaches me to play video games and make fun of silly people at the same time.
Mr Lasastryke posted...he's not just saying that, though. he's also saying having something like pride in the western world is bullshit, which is what initiated this debate. as long as there's still people in the western world who don't accept homosexuality (which, according to you, he admits - after all, only the "general consensus" is acceptance), something like pride is absolutely necessary.
Hm. I will admit I didn't read the whole conversation, and was not aware of this. I suppose I should thank you for giving context.
However, that's where my goodwill ends. Y'see, the very notion of "someone disagrees with us, we have to virtue signal" is kinda creepy and laughable. If you're so insecure about your identity that you need to stomp and huff until you get a month dedicated to your lot, maybe you should do some introspection. Maybe ask yourself, "why do they hate us?" I'll give you a hint: go to a pride parade and look at all the perversion that takes place. No, not in the "girls are kissing girls and that's gross" way, I mean in the "there are guys walking other guys like dogs directly in front of children in a parade" way. I'll even find the picture if you think I'm full of it, even though I'm sure I'm incorrectly remembering the exact act they did.
And before you ask; I don't approve of any sexuality in front of children. Showing love is one thing, displaying lust is another, so spare me the "YoU wOuLdN't CoMpLAiN iF iT wErE a MaN aNd A wOmAn" drivel.
Inviso posted...Uh, I know I should know better than to grant you a response, but wtf is this?
I mean, you even quote the post, so it's not like you missed the second clause of Smuffin's statement. But what part of "favored" is confusing to you when interpreting his post?
Ignoring your accusation of my being confused, for one. Petty attempts at low blows aside, there's nothing difficult about second clause. You can't deny that, in an age of spanersity hires and affirmative action, that there's at least SOME favoring of LGBT opportunities. That'd just be crazy talk.
MoogleKupo141 posted...no one needs to do it for heterosexuality because theres no public disagreement about whether or not heterosexuality is ok. You dont have to defend something that no one is attacking.
theres a National Disability Day and disabled pride parades, but no equivalent for not disabled people... do you interpret that as society favoring being disabled?
Do you really, really, really want me to shut you down on that first part? It's okay, you can drop this argument and I won't think less of you for it.
As for the second part, damn, i could drop one hell of a redpill right now with the comparison between homosexuality and disabilities you did. You should feel bad, tempting me like this.
P.S.: This is the first I've heard of disabled pride parades. Thank you telling me, I'll have to see how they go about it.
Inviso posted...Smuffin seems like one of those easily-offended snowflakes who thinks that because Black History Month happens for a single month, once a year, that therefore white people are being oppressed by not having a "White History Month". Speaking of which, "White History Month" is better known as "March 1st to January 31st".
Well yeah, one month ain't enough for our list of achievements.
Gentle banter aside, I'm curious; how do you mentally justify your fellow leftists using a right-wing-originated insult like snowflake? Isn't that cultural appropriation? Asking in half good faith, half wanting to see how you'll go at this.
