    Who said anything about a hill to die on. You’re being fucking annoying and a scold. And, I’m just being honest with how that makes me feel about you.

    How is this at all a point of contention? Like how old are you?

    Homophobia is very funny. It’s very silly to be afraid of gay people or afraid of being perceived as gay. That’s a silly way to behave. Acting like it, in jest, is also funny. Acting like a middle schooler is very funny

    And who said anything about rationality and logic? That shit blows. Imo people are far too rational and far too logical these days.

    I want to feel things, and I want to laugh. And, I don’t care to tiptoe around these arbitrary lines about etiquette. Because that’s what it is. It’s etiquette and social posturing, and it does absolutely nothing at all to actually help improve the lives of real LGBTQ people

    You know what does help them? Working together. Collaborating. The free exchange of ideas. Sharing a laugh or an experience. Bitching about life and dating your shitty fucking job together.

    I can’t believe this type of thinking even still exists. Haven’t we run out the scenario long enough with this shit where we can acknowledge that shutting down discussions based on arbitrary and shifting rules around improprieties and language is a net negative.

    It is to the benefit of cynical and hateful people who operate in this world to be such a fucking tightass

      So, before you run your mouth any more, you should know that lemmy is a pretty small population and proudly obnoxious people may not be banned, but they sure as hell can be put on a lot of people’s personal blocklists.

      Calling them gay helps them apparently /s

      Your account is hours old and you really think coming in here and scolding all of us for being anti-homophobes and anti-edgelords is the move?

          You’re getting this upset over the smallest pushback on using “gay” as an insult. Interesting.

              Yeah when you say out loud in a room full of strangers that you want to be able to call people “gay” because it’s funny, you’re gonna get a reaction.
