If you see the GBS feedback thread has a lot of posts it's going to be complaining about their forum enemies 99% of time. Of course it attracts rubbernecking.

Fajita Queen posted:Being a good ally by insisting that gay people treat aids the same way that Reaganites did in the 80s ftmfw Fajita Queen posted:Saying something is aids in the same way as saying something is cancer is not disparaging gay people, it's saying aids sucks rear end because it's a horrible disease that kills you, much like the posts that people are calling aids. In like a decade people will be doing the same thing with covid. Hope this helps. Fajita Queen posted:Also the people having mini meltdowns about it are some of the biggest dipshits on this website and making them get mad over nothing is extremely funny, so I applaud the brave forums soldiers who have given their lives for the cause. This series of comments should be highlighted more because it is the most relevant argument here. If you're attempting to defend my honor as a gay man by fighting back against the bad word "AIDS", spare me. If you really want to fight for the cause do something more useful with your time, there are many organizations and charities that would appreciate the help. What's that? You're suddenly not interested in fighting homophobia? gently caress off then. Using it as an excuse to fight forums enemies because they made you look bad is reprehensible.

You're suddenly not interested in fighting homophobia? gently caress off then. also i feel like at least half of the ongoing argument about language has far less to do with any perceived homophobia or misogyny or ableism or opposition to those things than it is thinly veiled classist virtue signaling to show who's the most enlightened and Non-Problematic - because when people say things like this, and what faijita queen said, there's no response whatsoever it reminds me of tumblr poo poo where sheltered knowitalls compete to see who can take the most offense on the behalf of groups they aren't a part of or involved in the struggles they pretend to champion - except when they can call someone a chud for something FirstnameLastname fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Jul 9, 2023 |

quote:'all the gay people should be punished for saying 'gay' and 'homo' is the kind of incredible brain power i expect from something awful dot com Some of this stuff just feels disingenuous. Nobody said anything even remotely resembling this. And the "if you actually care about gay people donate to a charity instead of trying to get people to treat each other with respect!" Posts are just confusing frankly. It feels more like people are trying to 'win' than actually have a discussion. It's strangely hostile. Dead horse. I'll see myself out.

If you're gonna use it just be funny geez it isn't loving hard. When I posted about it my point was it was never used for anything but "waaaah  "If your posting uses offensive terms as a crutch and you struggle to post without them then just don't post. LAP has posted more constructive things than the nerds melting down over their posting styles.

This is a phenomenally stupid post and you should feel bad for posting it. Seriously, the amount of lack of self-awareness at seeing posts with actual arguments from gay people is ‘well clearly they’re just making it up, if they’re gay they would have been on my side’ and effectively comparing that with fascist chud behavior is monumentally loving dumb.

In a Pride thread: "this thread is gay  "In a thread you don't like: "This thread is fucken gay." In an anecdotes thread: "my uncle struggled with aids during the Reagan administration and it was awful." In a thread you don't like: "this thread is aids." If you can't figure out the contextual difference as well as being able to extrapolate to appropriate other scenarios then I don't think you're ready for the world hth.
