I don’t think comparing LGBTQ to a plague is a good thing my dude.
Let me summarize. “Normally I wouldn’t care but I know where this path leads to, it is okay to see a few representations but when they are allowed this time things will go out of control like they always do”.
Could you understand now.
Wrong, I’m merely saying that a majority of people who get labelled as having privilege don’t have the privilege spoken of. The use of the word “Privelege” these days is often used to depict a group of people rather than actually target the people who really have it. It’s no different to people throwing around words like “Homophobe”, “Transphobe” or “Racist” because they lack the facts or logic to see what is really being said and done.
True story, a friend and I went for the same job 10ish years ago which I ended up getting. When in a conversation with my manager one day I learned that he was far better qualified than me and a better interviewee but the “need” for diversity (I’m a gay man) got me the job over him. His privilege as a white straight man was nowhere to be seen here, yet people like you seem to perpetuate the idea that its more mainstream than it really is. Just so you know, I left the job soon after finding this out as I think its a despicable process to not hire the best candidate for reasons which have nothing to do with the job at all.
As has the minority using their minority status to punch down on others, it happens far too much these days.
Its a ridiculous concept to act like minorities aren’t capable of the same things that those in the majority are.
If anything, attitudes like yours are also damaging how minorities are perceived in the world.
So basically have have no argument and need to refer me to googling others to back up your claim? Basically the ideas that you have are not your own.
Well done.
Wow, good thing I never asked that question…imagine hearing that after years of service…
Can’t say I do chap, because you’re referring to wierd stuff like “this time I know it will be out of control” whilst providing no evidence to back up such a claim. So essentially you’re doing a car salesman “trust me” wink argument. I have no good reason why I should believe you absent of such evidence.
So I understand you holding such a position, but I also understand it’s a position devoid of logic and I don’t understand why you hold it. It’s not an error of understanding on my part, you’re asking me to have faith in your version of events, understanding doesn’t even come into it. That’s belief, and I’m not a fan of believing things with no evidence being presented.
so your one examples proves i’m wrong? ok bud, here’s another example, with video.

- THIS IS WHAT PRIVILEGE LOOKS LIKE
curfew was instated in a city in the us. people were getting home and stopped by the police. the white people could smile and make silly faces at the police while the black couple was tazed and arrested.
i’m sure you thought you did something with that post but you didn’t.
You what? “Keeping it under control?” I think we’ve had a couple of thousands of years at doing that, and it is working out -so- well.
Actually we did. Malfurion and Tyrande is so horrifically done that it is sickening to have to play through that. I’m allowed to say that because I am straight! Blizzard are bad at writing relationships, but we -knew- that!
“Keeping it under control” Jaysis sufferin’ heck…
If the alternative is being Antisocial Injustice Cowards then we -could- I guess? I mean someone who does not like society, justice, and fighting for things? I guess we -could- do that, sure?
Plague?
Dude, I am not ashamed of being white, male or straight, but I -am- ashamed when I see statements like that.
i think i get what you mean, you are worried about gender chic, you are worried that the lgbt movement are fanatical, militant, not happy unless everyone else is the same, like other organisations, planting poison where there is just confusion like the rise of sjwism…
i think you worry too much…
I’m not saying homosexuality is plague. If I had such thought I’d not befriend gay people.
Minorities always want more, without exception. Black people were given rights they are now making kiss whites their feet, Kurdish people were given rights in my country then they started to talk about establishing a country by dividing our lands. The same rule gonna apply to lgbt people as well, you’ll give them a few homosexual couples then they’ll say “where is my homosexual orc warchief-king” .
I’m not worrying, just telling the certain future that awaits you all when such things start to happen and considering all the homosexual propaganda around.
As usual that isn’t the whole story, and officers were reprimanded, sometimes not even justifiably so.
Stop making it look like every police officer in the U.S(or Europe for that matter) is a bigot and a despot.
They’re not, you’re doing allot more harm than good.
Mother of…did someone just say that? in 2020? Nah, not even going to dress it up, I feel pretty justified in calling you a racist.
Sorry i come from 1500 B.C … did i said anything wrong?
We are timetravelers
Yeah, not act like someone from 1,500 B.C who didn’t actually care about this stuff?
yes, thats why our timeline make sense… but this timeline we spoke now… dont
Get off your high horse, That was a nice way of saying lets agree to disagree since this thread has tanked massively!
My points were about the random gay npc this has turned into a gay/civil rights thread.
Have a nice day.
staying silent helps the oppressor, not the other way around.
if you see injustice in the world you don’t agree with, it’s your duty to speak up.
as a white person, it’s a privilege to be able to speak up about this without the fear of getting arrested or killed.
ignore it, report it and move on. don’t give your time of day to racists.
Dude, if you’re going to maintain your “Im not homophobic I have gay friends” spiel you probably want to stop liking and doing a nodding dog on the posts of the guy posting outright racist and homophobic comments. Just a tip.
you’re missing my point dude. gay, black, female etc LEAD type of mainstream media hasn’t always been a thing.
Is this meant to be satire? Yes, it has ALWAYS been a thing. From Ellen Ripley in Alien and Sarah Conner in Terminator to Samus Aran from Metroid and Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
As for black representation, Will Smith in Independence Day and I, Robot. And Avery Brooks in Star Trek.
These aren’t even some obscure or overshadowed pieces of media. They are well-established and respected franchises and cult classics going back 40 years!
You’re talking political nonsense.
