disagree with this. thread should stay open imo. if it's silent it's silent, if there's feedback there's feedback. People can just not chat in it. I know that might be difficult for some given how people keep accidentally ending up in scholastic book fair but I have faith

The Harvey thread is getting weird. Should we goldmine or gas it before it gets too weird? :dong::dbuddy:

Seems like there’s a conversation to be had around everyone’s responses to Harvey—but, that’s probably best for a new thread that’s steered toward fostering that kind of thing. Maybe it would also be a good idea to go ahead and have an IK or two in place for said thread?

fostering what kind of thing, people falling for dumb gimmicks and chewing people out who didn't take the bait?

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.

Some of the arguments in defense of using gay/aids as an insult here read an awful lot like this tweet to me.



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.

genuinely that cousin todd post is one of the most virulently homophobic things ive seen on these forums so its cool its going to go completely unpunished

meanwhile Smugworth continues to be the living proof that giving someone buttons as a joke only works if the person doing it knows what a joke is

Calling stuff gay and AIDS is first grader poo poo anyway, and if anyone really does use that stuff hatefully, I'll just point and laugh at them. Someone comparing me to Dean Browning is way more offensive to me than anyone calling me fake and gay as an insult.

I appreciate it, as weird as a post as I made.

DW89, you are free to post here, my friend. This is a safe place. I am sorry if any posts I made about your autism were perceived in jest.

What a disingenuous statement and a mealy-mouthed apology that is.
