Imo posting the identical routine ":gas: aids gay" crap in every supposedly unfunny thread isn't "quite funny", it's more tedious than what it's ostensibly making fun of.

I'm not even over a certain age given by the time I was teenager that dumb fucken South Park episode was well known.

I've made this suggestion before in this thread, but calling something "aids" is really fucken homophobic and not okay, but for some reason no one seems to pay any attention.

I've seen cishet people use the f-slur in more acceptable ways, because I've never seen that dumb as gently caress phrase used without malice. It's gross.

"we"? you are not a mod or admin. genuine advice: when people complain about a forum you post in you can literally not read it / not take it personally

as far as bad words, consider reading in good faith? mb the person has some right to use it, and you should reflect on your own language.

From my understanding shitposting is allowed in GBS unless stated otherwise for a particular thread eg. Ukraine thread
I haven't really seen 16bbh break any rules and annoying some posters doesn't really warrant a forum ban, or post timer or whatever the heck, I can't state this enough; add him to your ignore list. If you do see him breaking any rules or turning threads hostile or whatever then just continue to report him and Moderators can have a look at specific posts you're concerned about.

Issues with using "aids" is fair enough to discuss and I encourage folk to share their opinion on it. I don't like it but I'm also not a huge fan of word filter moderation (see: cuntgate lol).



edit: also just to clarify. I was joking about blocking any attempts to "punish" 16bbh. I don't know the guy, I just find him mostly funny :shrug:

You may not have noticed the problem isn't "the forums you hate", but "the psychos who post there".

The only good thing about the really hardcore rage-posters is they pretty much end up permabanned when they repeatedly are unable to understand that they actually need to follow some simple posting rules. They get their inevitable ramp up to a lifetime achievement perma, and mostly, SA moves on, and average post rage ticks down a tiny notch.

It's been a homophobic slur from the 80s. Having been alive and known about it as I was studying microbiology and the outbreak of weird diseases like Kaposi's and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in young, healthy gay males where it was first called GRID - Gay-Related Immune Disorder. The politics of getting the Reagan administration to fund research into HIV because it was literally "a gay disease"... you can't just handwave away decades of the history of the term. If you're okay with calling something "gay" as a slur then I suppose calling it "totally AIDS" or the like is not a problem.

Before someone says it's no different from calling something "cancer", doing so is just profoundly ignoring the history of linking AIDS with gay men for decades, versus the utter lack of cancer having the same history.

That there's an article on Discrimination against HIV

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_people_with_HIV/AIDS

I don't think cancer comes with anything like this stigma. Although Sontag wrote on cancer link

Edit: I should say anyone young enough to have missed the history of HIV in the 80s and 90s and thinks nothing of casually using the term should educate themselves about it.

I was a kid but I still remember all those Very Special Episodes about how a kid has HIV and they're still cool just don't like interact with their blood and you're good you don't need to treat them like lepers. Also Magic coming out as having HIV and how much of a Moment that was.

I don't know why this is such a hill to die on. As a community we're pretty much accepted that some words are harmful. I don't see why we carve out an exception for posting like you're 15.

first thread deffo goldmine material but scrolling through the last few pages before butthead got probed and it is pretty grim by this point, just a bunch of circling around on dead billionaire fan fiction and an obsession with titanium pieces or whatever floating around. the doctor's prognosis is in: it's aids.

I brought the aids thing up in SAD at one point and got dog piled by people falling over themselves to be as lovely as possible. I think there was one good faith reply, if any. I'm glad to see some decent discussion about it here instead of more of that.

It never stopped being used as a pejorative to mock and oppress gay men, as well as sex workers and drug users. I'd love to stop seeing it being used like that in GBS at least.

link to UNAIDS Zero Discrimination Day 2023.

link to HRC common myths about HIV where #1 is 'its a gay disease' from January 2023. People still think it.

There's still stigma attached to being HIV+. Try Googling "HIV stigma", you get plenty of hits from 2023.

Tons of links talk about negative perceptions of HIV in different groups in the USA.

If you want UK-specific links, just Google. example
