Sure. Anyone wanna talk about that CCP survey that went out instead? What are everyone's feelings on things like "inclusion" and "not making this game an acid bath experience for women?"

I think actual inclusion is fine. I also think that the modern trend of what is considered "inclusion" to be toxic as poo poo.

What's the difference between actual inclusion and modern "inclusion?"

I would consider actual inclusion to be leaving everyone the gently caress alone and letting them live the way they want to. This recent trend of "You disagree with X small thing means you're a bigot and we hate you" is just ludicrous.

The X I was referring to would be the state of Floridas ban on teaching about sex to kids below third grade in a school setting. That sounds reasonable to me and I got some major backlash on that one.

Ah, the "what does this have to do with being too inclusive", that's precisely what I'm getting at. To be called a bigot over my view of the FL poo poo is something that makes no sense to me, that does not mean I hate anyone, or even hold negative views of anyone. I've been told that my view on that topic is harmful to LGBTQ people and pushes them out of the equation. I fail to see how that is in any way harmful to their community or even affects it. Like at all. If that is what people view as "inclusion" then it is very much outside of what I've ever considered the word to mean.

It's a much broader ban than that fwiw. It's a ban on any mention of gender identity or sexual orientation.

That's a bunch of Shakespeare gone. Can't talk about Matthew Shepherd. It doesn't really specify gay, so I guess you can't mention that marriage should be between a man and a woman either, or heterosexual relationships. Saying "I'm married" would run afoul of this as well. They wrote it deliberately vague, but the boards involved are gonna be like "Well of course you can mention 'boys' and 'girls,' not doing that would be ridiculous" and "Well if course the male teacher can mention his marriage to a woman. But the other male teacher who's mentioned his marriage to a man, that's mentioning sexual orientation." The nebulous nature of the law put into place was on purpose; it's not some bug. They want to be able to enforce it selectively. Is any of this clicking?

I guess I largely just fail to see why that has any place in a pre 3rd grade classroom to begin with? You're laying the foundation of a good education, why does the teacher need to be giving their views on sexuality at all? I don't think a teacher should be talking about their personal life with their students, doesn't matter if they're gay or straight. My teachers never once did that and it didn't negatively affect my education.

I do very much have an issue with selective enforcement, and if that is the case then the people doing said selective enforcement should face consequences.

I don't think I've even brought up the LGBT community outside of one reference to things I've been accused of. I fully believe that you guys should be treated identically to everyone else on the planet. I would say that's a fair position to take?

but that's still absolutely nothing to do with why your response to someone asking about CCP's inclusion/not scaring off the ladies survey was "modern inclusion is toxic and has gone too far"

You've missed my point like 5 times. The point is that "modern inclusion" seems to bring in topics that are well outside of what I would consider inclusion to be. I don't think both gay and straight people being told to not talk about their sexuality to children in a school setting is preventing anyone from being included in society. There's a time and a place for everything, the classroom at that grade level, in my opinion, is not it.

The entire point of the law is to make it illegal for a school teacher to say, admit he has a husband to his class, or have a picture of his family on his desk. It’s dehumanizing and you suck.

Teachers should go to school to teach, nothing more and nothing less. I couldn't possibly care less if a teacher is gay or not, but I don't see the need for any teacher to be talking about their personal life with students, sexuality need not apply.

surely the foundation of a good education also involves socialization and understanding of the world in general, no? how old do you think kids should have to be before they find out that gay people exist? that some of their classmates might have two moms or two dads and that's okay? or do you just think it's actually not okay?

I think that realization comes naturally with age and with socializing with those around them. I simply don't think that it should be a conversation facilitated by teachers discussing personal matters with their students. Social issues absolutely have a place in the classroom, but that's something I would reserve for children above the third grade as it's a rather complex subject that merits a lot of discussion. Pre 3rd should largely be building a solid foundation to be able to discuss more in-depth topics later on.

Yes, because I've been told that my view on that is somehow related to the modern definition of inclusion, which I think has been stretched out to encompass things far beyond what I would consider to be inclusion. Thus my statement on what I think to be "actual inclusion" as opposed to "modern inclusion".

Yeah except that's a made up scenario based on a law that doesn't single anyone out. Which circles back to if its being enforced selectively then that's a major problem. I don't think we disagree on that, yet you repeatedly ignore me wholeheartedly agreeing with you on enforcement.

You and I both know that law isn’t going to be enforced in the way you want it. Don’t be loving obtuse.

The whole point of the law is to completely remove sexuality and personal matters from K-3 education. I see zero reason that it won't be followed by straight teachers. If I was an LGBT parent and got word that a straight teacher was ignoring the law that an LGBT teacher was expected to follow I would raise hell until that teacher faced consequences, and rightfully so.

I honestly don’t know if you are just brilliantly naive or the dumbest person that’s ever blathered his way into the collective goon crosshairs or a mix of both. That is not the whole point of the law, the entire point of the law was to dehumanize gays without openly saying “hey we’re trying to gently caress the gays and not in the way they like” just the same as sodomy laws.

This is Lee Atwater’s southern strategy only this time it’s gays instead of blacks, it’s literally the same loving poo poo AGAIN and rubes like you bumble into it every loving time.

If people disagree with the law at is core being enforced fairly at face value then fair game, but to just sit back and assume its being unfairly enforced seems to be blind assumption at best. The internet exists, if violations are happening make it well known and demand meaningful change. If it's found to be generally unfairly enforced then repeal that poo poo. As far as I'm concerned if fairly enforced its reasonable legislation, if it is actually provably being unfairly enforced then repeal that poo poo as its nothing but harmful.

In all honesty I took a break from news cycles a few weeks back, was tired of the constant cycle of depressing poo poo. The florida bill had been well established for months and I had no idea it had been expanded. With this new information, that I just double checked and it's honestly mind blowing, gently caress the law and repeal that poo poo. What I considered to be reasonable at a K-3 level is absolutely ludicrous to be expanded to high school.

Honestly after seeing that it was expanded to a high school level, which to me shows clear as day that this is simply an attack on LGBT teachers, I agree with you. It's beyond bullshit to expand the original law. You were right on the intent. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and was clearly mistaken.
