Can I ask a question:

so if someone put up an av of a heterosexual couple kissing sensually, will that be ok?

Damn this was a fail. I definitely do not want my granddaughters to be arranged with someone this bigoted and immature. Nor presumptuous enough to think this was worth making a thread.


I literally noticed it too when I saw people changed their avs and wondered where it came from. But even someone as obnoxious as me did not make a ****ing thread, dude, DAMN!?

Like I'm actually pissed off at how ignorant this is
so goddamn done

With all due respect, I think you are misunderstanding a lot of what I am saying

Homosexuality is not a cause, but supporting homosexuality is a cause, that is the cause I was referring to.

You are right, easiest way to deal with it to switch off the glowing box. But people posting gifs on a debate thread, is immature. If it was a homosexual appreciation thread, so be it, good on them. This thread is not the right place for that though.

By the way is your avatar from an anime ?

Most of what's on the internet is immature if you can't deal with it, just switch off that glowing box in front of you.

Anyway, homosexuality shouldn't be considered a 'cause' as if it's some kind of charity case. People posting any other kind of intimate gifs would not be considered to be doing so on behalf of heterosexuality! C'mon.

I stated I'm not homophobic to avoid people assuming I am. I did not explain how I am not homophobic in the OP because it is irrelevant to the thread. Don't make false accusations based on assumptions.

If I saw a sudden rise in avatars displaying a man and a woman kissing, I would make the same thread.

I answered this ****ing obnoxious and ludicrous claim before and you did not respond for you have no answer. Bigotry is marked by an intolerance of someone and their views due to their views alone. I am NOT intolerant of people's views and I am intolerant of you and your bull**** response about finding solely MALE same sex interaction sickening, because you are not presenting a view on it other than your response is natural. If it is "natural" as you claim, then I cannot be bigoted towards it as it is not an opinion.

I am so tolerant of others beliefs. I go to one of the most international sixth form colleges in the United Kingdom with over 85% of students being foreign, and I have classes with seriously anti-gay Russians, Armenians, Ukrainians and so on and so forth. If I was as bigoted and intolerant as you claim, I probably wouldn't have a head on my shoulders any more. My parents are incredibly anti-gay. The same applies to them. I am respectful of people's views but you're completely insulting my intelligence by trying to assume having an aversion to ONLY male same sex interaction is not a result of some kind of prejudice. I do no think that intrinsically makes you homophobic, no, but it makes you something other than what you are claiming to be. It's all bull****.

Furthermore, I understand the impact harmful views have on LGBT people, something you would not understand because you have never had to experience it yet you still think you are in a position to comment on the issue better than someone who has. False.

Yes.

erm are you a mod?...

You don't have to respect anyone's opinion but similarly, don't be insulted when someone disrespects yours. Also, I wouldn't rely on the state's judgement on what is "right" and "wrong". 100 years ago, the state was saying it was a-ok to kill a black person for being black. The government is led by different people who have different opinions, whose opinion is influence by societal norms.

What is just? What is unjust? It constantly changes along with the social norms. I also don't believe there's a clear cut between the two.

This is how I feel. ^

I get what you are saying but what I can't understand I don't agree that you find only gay male interaction sickining. That is wrong, in a sense you also sexualising lesbians as well because I assume you find it 'hot'.

I actually did not make this thread, a mod took my comment from a pre existing thread that was directed at one person who I know well on this forum, and made a thread out of it without my knowledge.
It's sad that I'm receiving hate for it, but o'well, mods will be mods.

No, no that's unfair. It was a cause we were fighting about, it was against a certain TSRians beilef. He said 'It's innapropriate to have avatars showing homosexual men kissing' so we put up avatars of homosexual men kissing, in a respose to that we spead positivity about homosexuality all togetehr by making a same love thread etc.

It was a 'cause' technically speaking and initally OP had a problem with our methods of protest, later he expressed views I and others disagree with. But initally it was about what we were doing.

You took that completely out of context. I mean that they are insignificant, as I stated, to the POINT you are making, not insignificant in general. And they are not a 'minority' in the same way groups are on the basis of race and or sexual orientation.

If you're going to start de-contextualising everything I say for your own ends, then don't bother trying to speak to me about this issue.

This is essentially it.

Are you trying to confuse me?

That post was written is a moment of anger, my S.P.A.G is a mess, excuse that

It is, if he found ALL homosexual activity uncomfortable, I get his point (again, not that I agree with it) but that doesn't seem to be the case.

No honestly, I did not make the thread. My comment was taken from another thread and made in to a thread of its own by a MOD, causing this to blow up in to a crisis.

I stated I'm not homophobic to avoid people assuming I am. I did not explain how I am not homophobic in the OP because it is irrelevant to the thread. Don't make false accusations based on assumptions.

If I saw a sudden rise in avatars displaying a man and a woman kissing, I would make the same thread.

Sounds illegal lol as well as highly unlikely. Can you not?
