gunplagirl is just using the basic modern propaganda technique of dismissing any actual or valid criticisms by taking one comment, right or wrong, and making the whole topic a debate about that particular, unrelated issue. It works because the egos of the people arguing (understandably) won't allow them to stop arguing with the blatant troll who keeps making more and more ridiculous claims in order to engage them further, until they give up and the troll can show everyone else how their argument is legitamite and the other side just has to give up.

The topic is not about homophobia, it is about Trump's blatant treasonous apathetic attitude towards Putin's cavalier and flippant implications of meddling. Don't get distracted by ridiculous troll nitpicking. That's exactly what troll factories have been doing for the last decade, and exactly why we are all in this situation in the first place.


We get it you're a homophobe, you don't have to go on with a wall of text like that

WALLACE: Wait, but...

TRUMP: ... from everything I see, has no respect for this person.

CLINTON: Well, that's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States.

TRUMP: No puppet. No puppet.

CLINTON: And it's pretty clear...

TRUMP: You're the puppet!

CLINTON: It's pretty clear you won't admit...

TRUMP: No, you're the puppet.

CLINTON: ... that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do, and that you continue to get help from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.

So I think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We've never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election. We have 17 -- 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military, who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyberattacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin and they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing.

WALLACE: Secretary Clinton...

CLINTON: And I think it's time you take a stand...

TRUMP: She has no idea whether it's Russia, China, or anybody else.

CLINTON: I am not quoting myself.

TRUMP: She has no idea.

CLINTON: I am quoting 17...

TRUMP: Hillary, you have no idea.

CLINTON: ... 17 intelligence -- do you doubt 17 military and civilian...

TRUMP: And our country has no idea.

CLINTON: ... agencies.

TRUMP: Yeah, I doubt it. I doubt it.

CLINTON: Well, he'd rather believe Vladimir Putin than the military and civilian intelligence professionals who are sworn to protect us. I find that just absolutely...

CLINTON: But you are very clearly quoting from WikiLeaks. And what's really important about WikiLeaks is that the Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans. They have hacked American websites, American accounts of private people, of institutions. Then they have given that information to WikiLeaks for the purpose of putting it on the Internet.

This has come from the highest levels of the Russian government, clearly, from Putin himself, in an effort, as 17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed, to influence our election.

CLINTON: So I actually think the most important question of this evening, Chris, is, finally, will Donald Trump admit and condemn that the Russians are doing this and make it clear that he will not have the help of Putin in in this election, that he rejects Russian espionage against Americans, which he actually encouraged in the past? Those are the questions we need answered. We've never had anything like this happen in any of our elections before.

WALLACE: Well?

TRUMP: That was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders, OK? How did we get on to Putin?

WALLACE: Hold on -- hold on, wait. Hold on, folks. Because we -- this is going to end up getting out of control. Let's try to keep it quiet so -- for the candidates and for the American people.

TRUMP: So just to finish on the borders...

WALLACE: Yes?

TRUMP: She wants open borders. People are going to pour into our country. People are going to come in from Syria. She wants 550 percent more people than Barack Obama, and he has thousands and thousands of people. They have no idea where they come from.

And you see, we are going to stop radical Islamic terrorism in this country. She won't even mention the words, and neither will President Obama. So I just want to tell you, she wants open borders.

Now we can talk about Putin. I don't know Putin. He said nice things about me. If we got along well, that would be good. If Russia and the United States got along well and went after ISIS, that would be good.

He has no respect for her. He has no respect for our president. And I'll tell you what: We're in very serious trouble, because we have a country with tremendous numbers of nuclear warheads -- 1,800, by the way -- where they expanded and we didn't, 1,800 nuclear warheads. And she's playing chicken. Look, Putin...

This seems to be really misrepresented. MGM is being sued by the victims for liability. Their countersuit is on the grounds that they met the requirements for not being liable for a mass shooting event, so this is an effort to prevent any future liability litigation for this incident, which would not only be a losing case for the victims given the legal precedent, but also cost them a lot of time and money.

MGM and other entities involved can (and likely have) still donate to the recovery funds of the victims and all that, but this suit isn't seeking any money from the victims.

Just from browsing, this doesn't look like the "evil corporation does evil thing" narrative the headlines suggest.


If their "we are protected from liability" thing held true they could simply use that defense in all the liability cases against them. Instead they're doing something which will require more time and money from victims to resolve

Basically, MGM doesn't care about the money, it's about refusing to admit in any capacity that their actions may have allowed this to happen.

What do we really want then? Metal detectors and bag-searches at hotels?

We do that for county fairs which are generally at the same or a lesser scale than the music festival the victims attended. And given how many were also renting rooms at the hotel and just how massive the scale for the hotel is? Yeah, it's actually a reasonable precaution against such atrocities as this.

Businesses have an obligation to provide a safe venue for people. The fact that the gunman rented a room in one venue and fired into another? Unless the security company was hired for both locations it shouldn't possibly apply that immunity law which itself only got passed in the post 911 frenzy of fuckery.

For what it's worth pointing out, MGM could have settled individually with each victim or their family for less than they're spending on court costs. It's because they know if they settle, it's an acknowledgement that they messed up, thus bad press. But drag out cases long enough that ordinary people have to drop the suit or won't even break even with legal fees? It makes MGM avoid taking a hit from admitting responsibility.

This tactic they're doing? It's like what McDonald's did to the coffee lady who wanted $20 grand for medical bills. Instead, they spent hundreds of thousands on a smear campaign, gained control of the narrative, lost, paid millions, then having narrative control managed to make her seem even worse for their own negligence and then got a PR bonus by saying "hey we're changing our policies to protect you". Or how Donald Trump would drag out litigation against victims by destroying records. He'd pay millions dragging out a case until the person suing died or dropped the suit. By dropping the suit, they also lose a lot of room to speak openly about what had been done to them.

Basically, MGM doesn't care about the money, it's about refusing to admit in any capacity that their actions may have allowed this to happen. And that's why they're trying this lawsuit, because if they succeed then they'll never pay anyone a dime. But if they lose and then lose the case filed by victims, they'll pay hundreds of millions or billions in the process, but use their PR teams to spin the story as stuff like "look, these people suing aren't even victims they're walking around normally already like nothing happened, it didn't impact them at all" and that type of spin works well considering America still considers health care an individual responsibility, even though it means we pay more for less coverage.

The Obama Biden jokes (the "we wouldn't even be allowed to buy pizza in Indiana" joke in particular) were ones done tongue in cheek, they were self deprecating of their friendship, acknowledged the homophobic boundaries that many Americans have regarding how close two men can be as friends, and was done with a sense of inclusion because they actually support LGBT people and LGBT rights.

There's a distinct difference between "we're good friends and bigots might think we're gay and neither Biden nor I (Obama) will let that interfere with our friendship" and "these two extremely homophobic and evil leaders are working together towards the same goal, clearly they are repressed homosexual lovers"


I don't think the message of the cartoon is about them being homophobic leaders though, even though it is valid that they are. They're in bed together. If the cartoon had them spoon in bed to illustrate that instead of them kissing, I'd gather that you'd have the same response, but I still think it misses the point.

Your conclusion would be valid if the premise was case, but I don't agree with the premise. And.. I mean, what is being made fun of is a much more serious issue than the Obama-Biden memes. Everybody is getting fucked, not just the LGBT community and I don't think that cartoon was making any attempt at taking a jab at that community.

See my last post. And sure, everybody is being fucked. But especially lgbt people and of them, trans people in particular seeing as trump tried several times to ban them from military service plus all the repealing of Obama era guidelines, having devos refuse to actually enforce judge rulings that protect trans students, etc.

The punchline is still "they're in bed with each other. Two men. Hah, gross."

Except for the part where literally nobody except you (and conservatrolls) thinks this, but because you have a viewpoint than all others are invalid.

Plenty of lgbt people think it's awful, but it figures cis gay men wouldn't think it's that bad seeing as lgbt rights mostly just benefit you anyways and therefore plenty of the misogyny of gay stereotypes would have no meaningful impact or provide any notable barriers to your continued existence.

And there's really no conservatrolls, especially not here, getting upset it's homophobic. They're angry because it depicts trump as being gay and they feel that being gay is an inherently negative thing and therefore to suggest trump is gay is a terrible attack that cannot be overlooked. Which is distinctly different than being offended at it being homophobic, as their anger only exists because they are homophobes and it's the only reason they consider the implication to be an insult. That's also distinctly different from being upset because the jokes are homophobic with respect to the historic context of gay being used as an insult to demean and attack the validity of gay persons.

Where was the outrage against the string if arsons against gay bars in the 70s and 80s? (Answer: it was there and it was from lgbt people but their voice was much less powerful and they were much less accepted at the time, therefore preventing the outrage from growing)

And much of the inspiration for the movie came from reporting by a journalist who has since expressed deep regret at how she at the time had a fundamental misunderstanding of what Brandon Teena being a trans man actually entailed, and in turn how it was responsible for the movie portraying him as ultimately being a girl.

Assuming truth, how does that relate to firing someone for denegrading and insulting the community that spends money on the stuff she's employed to make?

Should we not fire unprofessional asshats because people on the internet might respond weirdly?

Also why are we pretending this is a one-way street. I distinctly remember some people in the SJW community trying to get youtuber Thunderf00t fired for "being a nazi" a few years ago and that being lauded. Certainly the people involved are still darlings of the youtube social justice movement.


It means that the outrage and complaints weren't even from players or even humans who would potentially stop using the company's games. Could be a few hundred, could be a few dozen and several set up the bots to spam the company.

And nazism is indefensible, and several magnitudes worse than a developer getting snarky at people who assumed she didn't know the basics of her job because she's a woman. Comparing the two is not exactly the best comparison.

Trans men are men.

Biologically, trans men are females.

Have you phenotyped every trans man, both living and dead?

It wouldn't matter because intersex isn't transgenderism.


But the two aren't mutually exclusive. And the entire premise of "biological sex" in the manner you used it is a misnomer and intellectually dishonest.

Regardless. The guy was a man, and casting a thin woman to play a fat man and conflate the entire trans issue is bull shit. It's like casting George Clooney to play MLK Jr., it erases a shit ton from the historic figure they're portraying. But then, you never actually intended to see the film because you don't like trans people, so you're only really using her apologizing and stepping down from the film as a chance to attack trans people further. Which is to say, I'd have a much more meaningful and intellectual conversation with a piece of cheese.

Just tagging to see if homophobic cartoons will actually be deleted, though I doubt it.

What's so homophobic about it?


Its using homophobia in an attempt to mock someone, as if being gay is something negative.


The joke isn't that they are gay, it's that they are obviously in love and have a hugely inappropriate relationship for the leaders of two countries that are honestly pretty at odds most of the time, especially considering that their factual relationship is starting to look more like treason.


You mean that people being in a gay relationship is still considered inappropriate by some?

Good point.

And I have you tagged as "refuses singular they" so nice misgendering


I

What

gunplagirl believes gender neutral pronouns are somehow transphobic.


Once again you lack any semblance of nuance. If a person refuses to use the gender neutral singular "they" for gender queer or nonbinary persons but refers to a trans woman as "they" rather than saying "she" IS a way of avoiding actually acknowledging the validity of the trans woman's identity.

Huh....how bout that

I could have sworn it didnt have such a given title, but eh

Err, heavy metal was a western film and it was based off some stories from heavy metal magazine, which actually isn't about just heavy metal. The magazine is still in publication. Probably still in print, for that matter.

It's not like they can win an argument when they're arguing against fact.

As per the norm, you didn't post any facts.


You only think that because you refuse to acknowledge homophobic attitudes as being homophobic. Defending homophobia tends to be something done by people who are, themselves, homophobic.

Oh tc, you not only lack the credentials but you don't even have the right measuring tools. All girls with dicks have big dick energy. We had the energy first and acquired the dick at a later time. And some of us turned those dicks into laser weapons. Ask sayoria all about the laser rifle modifications she got.

This seems no different than when people call Trump supporters slurpers.

You mean that considering fellatio a feminine and subservient action is inherently misogynistic and homophobic?

Congrats, you're finally starting to see how ingrained these biases are in our society and why misogynistic and homophobic views are so common.

Actually I'm inclined to agree that it's not homophobic. It was mentioned ITT already, they're in bed together politically. If Putin or Trump were a woman, the comic would be just as relevant and have the same punchline.

But he's not a woman, just like those "what if Obama did this" examples are of things Obama would never actually do. Whataboutism isn't actually a valid point.

It's not whataboutism. I'm saying that the punchline isn't "look they're gay haha", it's "they're in bed together politically". Now of course you can argue that that in itself is a homophobic idiom, and I would disagree.
So I'm not bringing up "if it were a woman" to try and show some double standard, I'm bringing it up because the point made would be the same one.


Are straight people marginalized? Has "hah, straight" ever been an insult? The imagery used against the two is very explicitly demonstrating gay stereotypes in their bed sharing as you call it. How you can deny it is beyond me.

Trans men are men.

Biologically, trans men are females.

Have you phenotyped every trans man, both living and dead?

At the very least, if you're making a film about a fat, short trans man then fill the role with a man. Preferably one who is at least heavyset since they can film it so he appears shorter.

And at the very least, if you're making a movie about a Texan then fill the role with an actual Texan

And if you're making a movie about a blonde person, you better get someone who's naturally blonde

And if you're making a movie about Batman, then fill the role with an actual orphan.


Trans men are men. Have a man fill the role. Having a woman fill the role just upholds negative and stereotypes that undermine the validity of an already marginalized group. Texans aren't some marginalized group that frequently is under attack by legislation. Neither are blondes. Believe it or not, most of the adults who have played batman also lost one or more parent prior to taking that role so yeah, kindly fuck off.
