Heterosexual pride day?
" I've been seeing that quite a lot. Some people are actually racist toward white, and they end telling us that "it's not racism because we're white" and "it's not discrimination because you're hetero" Which is think is very stupid and hypocrite. |
|
" If you think it's "the very same thing", then you're socially tone-deaf. Compare and contrast these two statements: "We have been the victims of assault, murder, shaming, and government oppression for too long, and we won't be shamed into hiding anymore!" "We need to defend our position at the top, so everyone celebrate how fucking amazing we are!" " Yeah, it's stupid, it's offensive, it's discrimination. It also affects you about as much as a tank pelted with spitballs. " So call out the individuals. " This is not revelatory to anyone over the age of ten. In this context, "being proud of who you are" is about as useful as an Olympian mocking a group of middleschoolers for not running as fast as him. In short, you're upset because the "winners" in society aren't praised enough already? Poor fucking you. A comprehensive, easy on the eyes loot filter:

I think you are very quick at judging and read very badly Antnee, I have been clearly writing that I didn't wanted an Heterosexual pride day. I just wanted to show that people are hypocritical about their situation. They want special treatments, then somehow refuse the same thing to other, that's being both hypocrite and discriminatory toward other.
and to be fair, I think anyone who would be offended by someone being proud of being hetero, is as bad as someone who would be offended at someone being mad at people being gay. Last edited by diablofdb#3816 on Jun 30, 2016, 9:57:11 AM

" Wrong. Reverse discrimination is a real thing in the US and other developed countries. Actually, your statement is an excellent example: assuming he couldn't possibly be affected by discrimination or have any real problems from it because he's a white, straight male. People like you bring the necessity of what he's writing about. You have to be realistic about these things. Logen Ninefingers Last edited by Bars#2689 on Jun 30, 2016, 10:02:38 AM

When did off topic go from harmless closed beta insider banter to /pol/? I mean I love /pol/ but not on here...
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" Whoa, please wait a second, let's not be too hasty, there. Maybe a few extreme cases act like what you describe, but globally, most people would be more than willing to give the same treatment to all groups. But "Heterosexual Pride" is very unlikely to have the same goals as Gay Pride. It is more likely to be meant to oppose Gay Pride. The most notable thing is, Gay Pride isn't just "Gay" Pride, it's "Whatever your sexuality is" Pride, and welcomes heterosexuals just as well. The title "Whatever your sexuality is, except for non-freely-consented sexuality, Pride" just doesn't ring as well as "Gay Pride". If I had to be worried about any group not being fairly represented, it would be about asexuals, not heterosexuals. |

" Well, you could fight this by creating harmless closed beta insider threads or you could contribute to the /pol/ threads by complaining about it in them, the choice is yours :P Not to mention that closed beta insiders are an endangered species. @MrTremere: you do realize that every post disputing a group of people's right to make a peaceful 'pride' movement is direct proof they need that movement, right? As long as nothing dangerous or harmful to society is being celebrated, anyone should have the right to celebrate whatever the fuck they want. You have to be realistic about these things.

" White, straight male here, reporting from the US: Get the fuck over it. No, really. The bullied pushing back is not on the same level as the bully who shoved first. Conflating the defense of the former with hypocrisy is... stunningly aloof.

" You're talking like a bully with a better vocabulary. You have to be realistic about these things.
