Anyone who is going to be offended by an utter p***k being an utter p***k is best advised to stay off it. It brings out the worst in people. Social media is genuinely not good for some people’s state of mind. That includes P@B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on about people who’ll maybe question whether there’s more than two genders, whether BLM’s methods are the best way to go about things, or even just ignorant stuff like “why’s there not a straight pride?” and so on. Assuming people like that are bigots is dangerous, and challenging disagreeable views like that is far more beneficial than casting the people who spout them as dangerous bigots, because they don’t immediately fall in line with the narrow range of views the echo chamber allows. People who question why there isn’t a straight pride are almost definitely bigots. People who question whether there are more than two genders, in my experience, are bigots. People who “question whether BLM’s methods are the best way to go about things” are - on the whole, if they’re white - bigots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An entirely male line-up of comedians complaining about political correctness whilst having enormous platforms and being multi-millionaires.

Of course they can. Question away, but don’t throw your toys out the pram and write public letters when you’re called out for being a bigot. And don’t expect a platform for your bigoted views. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who “question whether BLM’s methods are the best way to go about things” are - on the whole, if they’re white - bigots. I would tend to agree. I would think all bigots question there are more than two genders but not everyone who does is a bigot. I was taught there are 2, or grammatically 4, genders at school. It is a huge question with a multitude of answers. How many genders are there? I would agree but not everyone who questions BLMs intentions is a bigot. 15 minutes ago, VladimirMooc said: Of course they can.

So if, for example, someone questions your definition of gender, you are staying they shouldn't get a platform? That people who say something you find offensive shouldn't get a platform, or, maybe say something the majority find offensive shouldn't be allowed a platform? Nah. I not accepting any if them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went utterly mental and started spamming relentlessly to the point he was banned, and has come back with about 100 aliases since that have also been banned. What's a "Rab Reference"? no idea what you're on about. I see Mallo, you and his pals have been piling on today. Has it ever occured to people that this is a form of cyber bullying? It needs called out. Edited July 12, 2020 by Burnieman -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying that people with bigoted views don’t have a right to platforms and shouldn’t throw their toys out the pram when they aren’t given platforms. Although those people usually tend to have platforms anyway, so the point is likely a moot one anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that as you get older, you'll realise that life doesn't quite work like that. Lots of bad people do great things, and lots of great people do bad things.

Life is difficult enough as it is at the moment for many and places like this should be a bit of a release and place to forget about your worries, not an unsafe bear pit where somebody can jump on you because they take a dislike. Veteran posters should be afforded respect, I think that's pretty uncontroversial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the condescension. ‘I’m guessing when you grow up you’ll be a bit more racist, homophobic and generally a bit more of a bigot.’ Some quality centrist content. If you're going to make posts that are immature in nature, then I'm going to call them out. Is that not how it works? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
