  • Who gets to decide what is bigotry?

    Societal norms

    Do you get to tell the subject of said suspected bigotry that they should feel offended?

    I told you no such thing. I said that you were being homophobic. The listener decides if they want to be offended or not. Judging by this thread, a bunch of people were offended. Good job I guess?

    Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

    Nobody told you you weren’t allowed to do anything. You started whining that they were when someone pointed out your homophobia, but nobody ever said “don’t say that” or “you’re not allowed to say that” or anything like that.


  • Uh oh, the person who’s been claiming that being gay gives them a free pass to be homophobic for the last 2 hours is asking about my sexuality. I can imagine the “gotcha” you’re waiting to spew at me if I say no.

    I’m not going to answer that. It shouldn’t matter. Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who’s doing it, uncle ruckus. And everyone should be calling it out when they see it.





  • But as simplistic as it sounds that’s literally the basic argument here.

    The basic argument of this conversation, between the two of us, was that you claimed people were censoring you, and I pointed out that making observations or even judgement calls about what you said doesn’t prevent you from saying it. Absolutely no one is stopping you from saying whatever you want. I don’t think anyone even tried to. I sure didn’t.

    If you want to turn it into “well I’m gay so I can say homophobic things without judgement, like black people saying the n-word” you’ll have to do it alone because I have no interest in participating in that discussion.
