Is there an exception in the "Don't out anyone, ever" clause for allowing to out people if they throw you under the bus to avoid outing themselves?

Outing collaborators is cool and fun, and it's cooler and funner the more their chosen bigot group will eat them

There was a post a while back where someone outed their ex to the ex's conservative mom when the mom cornered the person and was getting aggressive (sorry, can't remember all the details).

I think the general consensus is that when a person weaponizes the rule to hurt others it's okay to out them if reasonably necessary to protect someone else. In iterations of this thread we've seen the whole "I'm being called homophobic for outing the person sexually harassing me" pop up as an extreme example.

Broadly, every such rule has a “justified self-defense” clause just like all the laws against literal violence. I’m not sure it applies to this specific story since OP outed themselves, but also dude obviously deserved it. I think the actual clause in this scenario is “it is cool to out collaborators in front of their bigot friends” that someone mentioned upthread.

Be gay, wear memes??? AITA for not letting my girlfriend wear her “unique” dress to a wedding? quote:Throwaway account because she uses reddit. My (M25) girlfriend (F30) Nat has a very particular sense of style. Picture Harley Finkle from wizards of waverly place, you will get the idea. Don’t get me wrong, i never had a problem with that! In fact, i love the way she dresses because she loves to do so, and i am happy if she is happy. The thing is, sometimes she likes to incorporate memes into her clothes. No problem. It’s cute. But now she wants to wear a dress inspired on the meme “gay rat wedding”. To my friend’s wedding. He and his fiancé are gay. I told her, maybe that is not really appropriated? The dress in question would be full of little stuffed rats, pride flags and a big “I SUPPORT GAY RATS” on the front. My friend is not a big fan of the way my GF dresses and i think this dress may cause an certain uproar in the wedding. Now, nat is upset with me and claiming that i am “throwing water in her flame of creativity”. The wedding is next month, so she has plenty of time to think about another thing to wear. Should i just let her go with the dress? Am i the rear end in a top hat in this situation?

Recently we had a story that went: My big brother is gay, my parents found his dildo, he said it's mine, and I had to out him to save myself from being sent to a foreign concentration camp. (The older brother was a legal adult and not at risk.)jazzyhattrick posted:One point that hasn't been raised in all this is that the reason babies are crying on takeoff and landing is that their ears are popping, they can't do anything about it and it loving hurts.

Don't really need to read past the bolded bit. AITA for calling my girlfriend an idiot with a useless degree? quote:I am a software developer and, like a lot of computer nerds, I love gaming. For some reason, my girlfriend seems annoyed by this. I'm not sure why—she never gives a proper response when asked—but she probably thinks that it's "immature" for a 27-year-old to play video games. I asked her if it's because I end up spending less time with her when I'm at home, but she says that that's not the reason, and that she just finds it "silly and useless."

My father in law sometimes turns his cochlear implant off and turns his back when he gets really angry at the person who is speaking, and it seems like about the rudest thing you could do. The hearing person’s equivalent would be plugging your ears and saying “La la la I’m not listening!”

hawowanlawow posted:I do not assume people flying with babies have a good reason to be doing it, that would be a very naive and silly thing to assume. Anyone can have a kid, and we all know how lovely people are. Flex on how mature and tolerant you are all you want, but that particular line of reasoning is complete bullshit, lmao If the baby has a ticket it can fly. That’s how planes work. 🤷🏼♂️ All the infrequent fliers without noise canceling headphones are just angry because they didn’t plan ahead and get noise canceling headphones and a xanax prescription like they should. Get on the flight, headphones on, mask on, neck pillow on, xanax in belly. The “being on the plane or in the airport” part is the worst part of the air travel* and if you allow yourself to experience it or remember it or even know there is a baby in the same plane as you, you are an amateur and you haven’t properly prepared. *the only good part of air travel is when you leave the airport at your destination

I get a Xanax prescription if you’re legitimately anxious about being in the air, but I’m fine with just the noise canceling I don’t need to pass out. A weed edible though…
