The sheer arrogance of your comment.... wow.
You are the one wanting to ignore people here. You are so convinced that only your perspective can be right that you are unwilling to even process the words I write. You don't have to agree but to willfully ignore that what I'm saying has legitimacy is just disgusting. And I've no doubt you don't even realize your oppression and your own bigotry. Do you?
I've read everything you've written and it's all very immature, self-centered, abdication of responsibility paired with conservative level mental gymnastics. You've given me no perspective that I, a gay man from a small midwestern town, haven't personally borne witness to and a little of what I've done once upon a time.
I'm not saying your perspective is wrong, I'm saying it's self centered, lazy, and ultimately detrimental to you and the people around you.
I make no demands upon you so oppression is out. You are free to ignore my observations at any moment and I couldn't care less. Hell, at this point I'm writing for everyone that's not you that's reading this. My statements are based on how your online persona comes across because I don't know anything about you beyond that to be bigoted against. By definition, I'd have to be prejudiced against you for membership in a particular group to be bigoted and the only one you've listed is 'queer' and I'm not that self-hating. You are free to be all the negative things that your online persona appears to be. I'm telling you why people may not want to be around you because of your behavior.
Explain to me how that's immature. Explain to me how saying that actually no, I don't find such talk offensive and neither do my friends is self-centered? Explain to me how something you apparently don't understand but which is a very real known and well-established phenomena equates to "mental gymnastics".
You do in fact make demands on me. You demand I submit to your idea of what's right. You demand that I acknowledge that the claims of these jokes being bigoted are correct. I don't and I won't. Worse, you make exactly zero effort to understand why I feel my perspective has legitimacy. You want mental gymnastics? Look no further.
That's pretty fucked up dude.
Good bye.
I'm on phone now so I'll tone down the length.
Sure, will do. It can be captured in just this reply.
This is it in a nutshell. Your anecdote does not capture the full experience of people even in your own community (self centered). I've provided the perspective of why it's offensive and you've attempted to shout me down (immature). And even with some regular "no you" responses (also immature).
Then your reading comprehension sucks. I stated multiple times (at least once explicitly) that you're free to be a shit bag. I did not (and at this point do not) expect you to change your behavior.
Was sounding out what your perspective implies about you as a person, while also reflecting on my own troubles with this exact issue, too subtle for you?
And neither do your comments. What part of having a discussion to share perspectives is unclear to you?
And you make a judgement in doing so. Ie. a demand to not be a "shit bag".
You didn't "sound out my perspective". You outright denied it's validity without even understanding what it was. And all because I didn't fit into your definition -inherently narrow - of the full experience of people.
I'm going to ignore you now. I'm sure you are not a bad person in general but in this discussion you are arrogant, narrow-minded and incapable of listening.
Yeah, it doesn't, but I wasn't rejecting an offered perspective outright. I've been judging the hell out of it, but I understood it.
You haven't shared a perspective. It's all "but I don't wanna". While badly attempting to refute me.
I judged you (severely and negatively) but I don't have the ability or interest in changing you. Again, I'm saying why a subset of people will be offended by you. If you want to alienate people, feel free.
Your reading comprehension still sucks. I don't know you either and I'm comfortable assuming we would not be friends. I hope people treat you as well as you treat them.
My god, the level of projection 😵💫😵💫😵💫
