Violence Against the LGBT Community

[Sera]

A+ thread, 10/10 would lol heartily again and again

[Apelila]

Fuck me what is this I don't even.

I'm marking this in stone or something, first time Rhinox in a gay thread has kept me reading.

Political Poopdeck: Showdown of the pseudo-intellectuals.

Celeste was right though, most, if not all, of you (men) referred to her as an "it" throughout this thread and laughed about it. Same thing with Solanis. Sounds like privilege to me.

Here's the list of male privileges that people were asking about:

And a rebuttal:

Wait when did someone refer to Celeste as it? I read through a discussion of the proper use of pronouns/gender identifiers, but I never saw "it".

Double edit: Ok, found when that started. But point: by that point trolling had reached critical mass.

15. My clothing is typically less expensive and better-constructed than women’s clothing for the same social status. While I have fewer options, my clothes will probably fit better than a woman’s without tailoring.

I shouldn't be mad yet i am, as if people cannot fathom that most people are buying lower/middle end clothes which are tailor made to the largest group of people that they will comfortably fit. People don't take in to account that men have way less stored fat in their hip/ass region than women and that men do not have breasts which vary WILDLY on an individual basis. Saying that clothes fit men better by default is fucking retarded, its like draping a fabric pancho over a 2x4 as opposed to a 2x4 that has a completely random amount of stored fat in the chest and ass region. Also more clothing options for men? what world is that?

LMFAO That reads like a joke list. Personal opinion and for the most part outdated statistics. Maybe if you're talking about a country that isn't first world but then it's a whole other host of issues.

1. My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed.

Against the law in almost every first world nation. In fact most countries have affirmative action laws that actually penalize groups that don't hire the minority over the white male. New studies in NA actually show Women between the ages of 20-40 now are earning on average more than Males.

I'd like to comment on more of the BS on that list but I don't want to be up all night. If the first point is that bad the only thing that could excuse it is if it was written in 1980 and even then most of the stuff on it is stupidity anyways. Just one more:

13. Even if I sleep with a lot of women, there is no chance that I will be seriously labeled a “slut,” nor is there any male counterpart to “slut-bashing.”

Straight from the BS handbag.

But no really, the privilege up in here was ridiculous. Jokingly saying you're going to go beat up homosexuals because you don't want more of them? Gay being used as an adjective for something you find unappealing or "stupid" or "dumb". Being referred to as an it.

[thetruepandagod]

I wonder if a crippled person ever complained about the use of lame as an insult.

This is a huge issue imo. Being straight I'm not sure the best way to handle it but as someone who was bullied I understand how that shit can be. I'm not sure how it is in schools now but if video games are a measure for it we have a long way to go.

This is the internet. Nothing is sacrosanct, especially not the word gay.
While I agree joking about beating up gays is in bad taste, there's hardly any good taste in this thread.

[Churchill]

Not to mention that Milkster is already in full on victim mode. Clearly he's bringing relevant information about the activities of people posting here, surely he's reading everything being said and making an objective, unbiased opinion based on that information.

what if i start beating up gay people because of this thread, is it a hate crime simply because I'm beating up gay people or is it outside the bounds of hate crime because I'm not really hating on anyone I just find this thread ridiculous and don't want any more of them

[Sup3rB4d]

I felt like I was arguing with all of BG when I said hate crime laws were retarded in some bully thread, and after reading the first 3 pages it seems like a lot of people feel the same way. Where the fuck where you at before?

[Churchill]

I think you just learned that in one topic BG can feel one way and in another they can feel the opposite.

[Brill Weave]

I referred to Celeste as It. And that is a direct result of it stating it does not identify as male or female and that we should respect that. Hence, it. And good morning peeps. Ah here's the quote.

I don't identify as male nor am I heterosexual, Rhinox. Could you please respect that?

[Krazy]

If he/she does not identify as male or female, then how does he/she reproduce? Is he/she asexual? Is he/she the next step in evolution?

[dejet]

Get over it. What your called means shit. Yes transgendered is probably one of the most miss understood, give it time for more people to get use to people being open about it, it's a really different concept most are not use to.

Like a every other type of person in the history of modern humans, you will deal with assholes as the groups assimilation happens.

Stop being a victim and just get on with your life. Making a big stink about it makes people hate you, it sounds like you think your superior.

[Xno Kappa]

Become a chef and cook your own cock and balls?

How much did that guy sell his cooked balls for again?

[Acturus]

What the fuck in the last fifteen pages did I just read? I am so seriously mad at all that I just read that I could grab some random passerby in the street, knock him or her down, and carve bigoted slurs into his or her arm.

That mad.

Also, best part of the thread right here:

AND NOW WE'RE ONTO VICTIM BLAMING. THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING. WOW.

Well you were sorta asking for it, not being cisnormative heterosexual and all.

Page 6. Perfect peak, right there.

asexuality has little to do with being able to reproduce, and everything to do with sexual attraction. Asexual are simply not sexually attracted to members of either sex.
