Falling foul of the woke brigade

[AnalogPackrat]

Well, what he (at least) implied was that LGBT people are much worse than others. And that their motivation was to "undermine other people's sexuality".

I have long lived and still live near one of the world's gayest cities (Cologne, Germany), and have never encountered (nor know anyone who has) anything of the sort. Before that I lived in another town in Germany where I went to the university and I once accidentally went to a LGBT dance with a friend. We noticed it after a short while because people were drinking coffee rather than beer and were all much nicer to each other than is usually the case in a club. We were there to meet women, so we left. ;-)

OR

Maybe the moral of this story: keep your fucking mouth shut whenever you feel the urge to make sexually charged (or other brain-dead) comments, ESPECIALLY to people you don't know.

OR

Maybe the moral of this story: Stop being a fucking crybaby that's offended by everything.

In the last series of post since I was in earlier I cant find a single without merrit of somekind ,
I do not consider myself above critisism ,
I take very serious offence in the way what I tabled for discussion has been twisted ,
attempting to portray me as a person with violent intent ,

Very much agreed an artist isnt responsible for the behaviour of their fans at a concert ,

I think at least to some extent ,from my reading of the responces , Ive struck a chord , perhaps with an older generation ,

but look what there feeding the young guns up on nowadays , Gonzoporn meets the Kardashians ,
is it any wonder the youth are more dissatisfied by their sexuality and appearance,body form than ever before ,
Mirror mirror on the wall ....... ever hear of that story ? the fucking phone has your ass owned children ,

Yes they are capable of correctly identifying who is talking to who.. But it seems you are incapable of using the English language correctly to explain yourself.

I don't know what you're talking about here

You ask the question ' Did anyone try apologizing to the people who he insulted?', and somehow, magically I should have read your mind from the other side of the Atlantic, and identified that you were talking to Tubetec.

I had quoted him, i thought it would have been pretty obvious who i was talking to/about

Or was it Tubetec?

Is he anyone?

Who is anyone here?

Could anyone tell me?

Huh?

Bingo!

It turns out the anyone was "the person who made the remark" all along.

Damn how I missed it!

The anyone was anyone involved in the situation. As i understand it the person who made the comments was a bit of a side character. Once again i thought that was clear

Says Mr, Miss, Mrs, Ms, They, Their (take your pick) Johnny Come Lately.

He/They, thanks. Been (reading, at least, if not registered) in this forum for over 20 years now, cheers

Who are the normal people and who are not in this forum?

Exactly

Equating what was said with wanting to shove your dick in someones mouth

I said "a dick" not "mine." Go read the post again and try to understand the equivalence i was trying to illustrate

The Rufus Wainright gig wasnt a 'fantasy' as you put it Dreams , it actually took place

Pretty sure I didn't say anything about rufus wainwright?

The underlying reality is this , if I had chosen to go along , chances are I'd have been fending off come-ons and smart comments from the gays

Fuck this

Dreams,
Your fantasy of sticking your cock in a straight guys mouth , exemplifies the attitude Im talking about .

Again, not my dick!

I agree the words my friend used towards the Lesbian couple were poor , sametime he is also entitled to his opinion .

He is entitled to his homophobic opinion, yes. Once he say it to them, they're entitled to a response

I remember chatting to two girls before , I had no idea they were lesbians , when they told me , I looked them right in the eye and said , thats a terrible loss to the good men in this world and smiled ,

What a shitty thing to say

we all had a good laugh about the situation and no one was offended or had their sexuality undermined .

Yeah they definitely weren't just trying to diffuse an uncomfortable situation or anything im sure

 

[Dreams]

Maybe you're right. Here's your chance. What's your point in relation to the OP? You have my attention.

Do you all *really* not understand?

Think about who faces consequences for what in either circumstance and get back to me once you've put in some effort

 

[Dreams]

You assume too much. Most people here are fine with LGBT, too.

Are they

What they aren't fine with is the oversensitivity, the thin skinned, the grossly over-baked response to any perceived offense (and that is, of course, not limited to LGBT victimology).

When you say "victimology" here, are you referring to the centuries of very real lgbtq+ oppression?

Well, how do you think the guy in the incident that spawned this thread feels? He said something to two lesbians and how many people responded?

It was his friend who said the stupid shit

I'm fine with open discussions. I disagree with your characterization of what people have said here being homophobic. If you cannot take the heat of disagreement, don't participate.

It isn't disagreement so much as just being wrong

 

[Dreams]

Dreams, that's a version of the movie.

What

This is what I meant by 'talking past each other'. People are only as 'evil' as the things they've been shown and taught to fight against. Asking them to 'believe differently' or 'try again, you're wrong' does not work.

Listen to me: I'm not asking

The strength of your own convictions and resistance to change is also in your opponent; they are your mirror.

"My" resistance to change, haha, got a good laugh out of that one

The solution can be...difficult to swallow (pun): be truly compassionate and loving to all.

I mean c'mon now

Yeah. Next time someone makes a homophobic joke, just bash thier skull in with a pipe instead of informing your community about someone to watch out for, do i have that right?

Not funny at all, behave!!

Internet is full of places to let this sort of stuff out, just go there instead. We don't want or need this on GroupDiy - we're actually very much considering pulling the plug on this whole sub-forum because of exactly this sort of behavior

No. I think the forum management should consider incorporating a filtering system to sift-out the occasional incoherent idiots that wander in here.

Exactly the non-answer I expected.
