AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I don't see how that's so bad, even with the emoticons? I think they are actually fitting to this, if anything.

It's ok to want to deny people their rights, so long as you're not mean about it! *silly anime face*

Supressing negative emotions is the only way of dealing with anything!

Speaking of which



I didn't know bigotry was an emotion?

:-)

there's "don't be a jackass at every chance you can get" and then there's this ridiculousness

though seriously don't send anon hate if you wanna do that show yo face don't be a wimp, shrimp

If its the kind of bigotry you feel the need to be vocal about, its basically just hate

oh speaking of that "be nice to homophobes" girl





I had a couple of thoughts on the subject.

If there is one Internet thing that needs to be in this thread it's the ads for some sort of online game that is for "Male Gamers Only" featuring generic boob girls. Male Gamers Only, because you were drowning in vagina beforehand.

What I'm getting from her is really only "it's okay when you think that way, just don't be a dick about it", so basically be a decent human being. I mean, how many christians (or other religions) do we have who think that homosexuality is wrong in their eyes, but they can still accept it and be friends with people and not yell at everyone? As we all already know, the bad apples are the one that stick out the most.
Adding those silly emoticons at the end makes the post appear more friendly to me than if it was without one, otherwise it would more appear like an opinionated SJW. Not to mention that it adds comedic value, which makes it way easier to determine that some of her phrases are ment to be taken with a grain of salt.

When we look at this again



First two things are what I ment, "whatever you think dude, just don't be a jackass from it". 3 and 4 are the "take it with a grain of salt" things. If you look at it, when there's a homophobe not being aggressive about his views, lets say he's just telling someone "I don't like homosexuality" in a really calm manner, than it means don't be a dick yourself and go yelling at them. If you want to engage them in a discussion, sure, but also in a calm manner. Yelling and insulting and whatever isn't going to help either sides - especially when the homophobe is actually aggressive, which means he's not going to change his point of view anyways; in which case just tell them to please not attack people openly and be more calm or even "secretive" about it.

And the last thing - well it really only is more comedic than anything. You know how you spray cats with cold water when they are doing something they shouldn't do? That's exactly what she's refering here to. And the thing is, we humans are a lot less likely to do stuff when it has negative connotations, ESPECIALLY when it involves pain - basically the more unpleasant something is, the less likely we are to do something.
But again, only comedic value here. What I gather from it, "It's not really a use to argue with them because they don't change their point of view anyways, so just spray them with cold water to shut them up, eventually they'll learn the lesson to keep it to themselves"



Phew, okay, I had a couple of thoughts here too. Since we're on opinion base anyways, I have troubles seeing how people can be aggressive towards her/giving her shit, not being able to see it's part joke and part saying "don't be an asshole about your opinions".
And continuing on that, I'm not dead set here, if you can deliver me evidence of why she really IS bad, then go ahead. Otherwise I really only see something harmless here.

I knew a dude who was (probably is, still) just plain uncomfortable around gays. He doesn't do anything, he just has a phobia about it, to a degree, probably to the extent that so many people have arachnophobia. He was fine, didn't yell at dudes or anything, just sorta said gross and stopped paying attention to them - no loss on his part.

Dude Tatzel the picture you put in your last post was OA's tumblr post mocking the original post. The original is the one you quoted from Nachal here.

The point is if you're a homophobic by choice (or even if you were raised that way), it's not "fine as long as you're not mean about it", it means you're a piece of trash.
Since the girl who posted that is 14 I can understand how it was poorly worded or just a poor idea in the first place, but come on.

Calling people gross because they like people of the same gender ain't cool
