The demand for hate crimes is surpassing the supply.

That is why people like Jussie Smollet and this radio host manufacture their own. They need to feed their egotistical desire to appear as victims.

It's not like hate crimes are way down or anything. Anti-gay hate crimes have been on the rise.

It's just that some people are messed up and will do this.

Eh if you look at the long run data, it is not really sensical to claim that hate crimes are on the rise

Unless you live in a Nanny state like the UK where criticizing Islam is construed as racism or a hate crime

They are factually on the rise

And surveys show that young people have actually become LESS tolerant of LGBT people in recent years: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/24/lgbtq-acceptance-millennials-decline-glaad-survey/1503758001/

You can't just say "actually hate crimes aren't on the rise, but I don't feel like finding the data for that, just trust me"

Anyway, here is some actual data that shows a recent increase in hate crimes and a regression in attitudes toward gay people

Because someone is tired of seeing the LGBT culture everywhere does not mean they are intolerant.

What relevance does that stupid opinion have with what I posted?

36% of young people said they were uncomfortable learning a family member was LGBTQ, compared with 29% in 2017.

34% were uncomfortable learning their doctor was LGBTQ vs. 27% a year earlier.

39% were uncomfortable learning their child had a school lesson on LGBTQ history vs. 30% in 2017.

The survey wasn't about how tired you are of seeing "gay culture everywhere," it was mostly about how comfortable you are knowing that gay people might exist around you, and whether you support equal rights for gay people.

https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/Accelerating%20Acceptance%202019.pdf

And it turns out it showed that young people have become LESS comfortable with gay people in the past several years. How did it go from 62% of young men being allies to only 35% in only 2 years. Next time actually read before spouting dumb lies

I never understood the hate for Wet Dry *World*. I thought it was an excellent level. Graphics needed a little work, however.

Luncheon Kingdom was pretty good.

I don't hate it, I just think it's dull compared to the other levels

I love Gelato Beach, I don't have a problem with its openness and I think the water has always looked gorgeous in that game.

Tiny Huge island is fun to explore the way it changes, and the illusion when you enter the paintings is so neat

I'm not such a fan of Wet-Dry land, I think it's boring.

I'm also not a huge fan of the Luncheon kingdom even though it looks cool.

It's contextual. I've timestamped a part of a video that explains how this phenomenon has happened and why they went with the ok sign.

Part of the strategy is to choose a symbol that is innocuous, like the hand gesture, because when it becomes used for malicious purposes, people will mock you and think you're crazy for saying something so innocent as an ok sign could be used as a symbol of hate. That's what it plays on.

Seriously sometimes a gay character can be flat and one-dimensional and it's ok. Not every gay character needs to be layered, just like not every straight one does.
---

Touch fuzzy get dizzy.

A straight character is flat and one-dimensional: *crickets*

A gay character is flat and one-dimensional: "This is awful. You're just adding gay characters for no reason but to be PC. This character's sexuality is their defining point and you are just pandering. Why do gay characters have to be added to games who are just there to be gay."

--

Gay characters shouldn't be held to a higher standard than straight ones.

Republicans in senate won't vote to boot him even though he EASILY deserves to be booted out for his actions.

I can't imagine much happening that would convince them to get rid of him. If he turned out to be soliciting minors for sex then that would PROBABLY get the republicans to get rid of him.

....Is what I would have said 3 years ago, before republicans defended Roy Moore.

these are the notes and recollections of the people who were listening to the conversation, not the actual transcript

...So we're just reading "I'm pretty sure he said this and that...."

How sleazy. This is going to scrape by and the real transcript will never be made public

So is every gay love story supposed to have a happy ending? Does the gay community feel the need to be that protected or is it people being protective and offended for the gay community?

we just want people to lay off with such an overused story trope, sheesh, nobody except you said anything about making every gay story happy.

It's literally the point of the article

Then point to the part of the article that says that every gay story is supposed to have a happy ending

buying groceries by yourself: yea or nay

washing your hands by yourself: yea or nay

playing video games by yourself: yea or nay

When I was young, my dad had chronic back pain. one day apparently when I was like 3 years old, he was lying on the couch and I jumped on his back (I was 3, kids do stuff like that randomly) and there was a big crack noise and he didn't have back pain after that.

It'll be useful for parents with 2 or 3+ kids who each want to play Pokemon or Animal Crossing but one switch isn't enough for them. Which was a problem I was wondering about from the start.

$400 for two switches instead of 600.

I don't think the rapist analogy is fully applicable, but at the very least using bigotry as a weapon to hurt people means that you are complicit with it and willing to use it against people

Some people will simply resort to saying whatever word or words happen to be at the top of the 'Most Offensive Words' ranking at the time. Emotions like anger can influence this. It doesn't automatically mean they are racist or homophobic. To assume such a thing would be unwise.

"He only said something racist because he was angry and he wanted to be offensive!"

for real. If the reason you want to use a bigoted insult is specifically because you know it has the power to hurt people, how is that okay just because you don't personally hate the group the insult targets? It just means you are willing to dabble in bigotry as an easy way to hurt people.

But that isn't bigotry. It's an act of antagonism. Bigotry is dependend on your influences.

If you do that, you're brandishing insults as a way to hurt somebody whose power comes from bigotry...which at best means you're complicit with that bigotry and willing to use it to hurt people.

I stopped going there in 2008 or so when I found out they were affiliated with places like Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council.

Two years ago I had some chick fil A again when somebody had them cater for an event, and it wasn't nearly as good as I remember it being.

Not that my non-attendance to CFA is really relevant to the topic at hand...
