Gianni Versace 2,987 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Getting angry over someone's tweet does not make you a part of the civil rights movement. This is my point all along: there are people who actually care about social issues, and then there are social justice warriors who search for people's tweets on the internet only to get offended by them. Why is this always your argument? pa-thet-ic. I think I speak for the majority of users when I say that I'd rather see 10003903903 posts of frustration toward Drake and his ignorant comments than for people to not realize the fault in his statements or blatanly ignore it for fear of opposition. You implying that somehow their remarks are invalid or unwarranted because they aren't out on the streets picketing everyday for what should be a seemingly basic human right (the right to not be denied your identity) for Trans* people is disgusting. I have the hardest time grasping that. Congratulations, Admin. You've managed to do the unthinkable and once again make an asshat of yourself on your own forum!!!!!!

Gianni Versace 2,987 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 AwwwHonestly... I'm going to just believe that this is a sad, extreme attempt to troll in a grand scheme to keep this site active because it seems like you are constantly spewing the most counterproductive harmful opinions (whether it be about muslims, the usage of the n word, misgendering, the list goes on and on). If my theory is right, then keep it up, Kirill! You may have enough to buy a box of Cheez-Its from all the ad traffic if you make a thread saying you hate gay people !!!! !!! !

famous 467 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Reminder to please stay on topic. An unrelated thread is not the place to bring up bigger issues you may have with other members or forum staff. It is inappropriate to derail the thread with issues like this. That being said, with all due respect Admin, it would probably also be beneficial if you took people's posts seriously rather than responding to a serious comment with sarcasm and no real content... either that, or just don't respond if you have nothing to say. As you can see, it is that comment ("Awww") causing the thread to go off track. Now, this argument ends here (within this thread, anyway). Back on topic please! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumi 3,512 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 If you want to use your right to freedom of speech that's fine ! But you'd better assume the consequences when people use the same right against you. You get what you give.Freedom of speech is the same argument used by: racists, misogynists, s-xists, homophobes and transphobics throughout history. underneath the pine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww In my opinion, Drake's tweet was offensive and ignorant...but in broad terms, I also think Admin is right. 90% of the people who get upset about these kind of things are white, cisgender, very young tumblr users. Drake was wrong, but these people who cause a nuclear explosion on the internet out of being "offended" aren't helping the problem at all, and in fact contribute to the problem, because instead of educating ignorant people and helping them understand why what they said was so offensive, they increase tension and thus make most of the ignorant world think people who believe in social justice are actually crazy (especially when they use words like "disgusting" to describe a tweet.)

BricksNStrings 231 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Example...Sean Penn made an offensive racist joke at the Oscars about his close friend who made Birdman. Sean Penn has been an activist for the disenfranchised for years, and in a way was pointing out the ridiculousness of race based stereotyping by making a racist joke about a man who just won the highest honor in hollywood. It was actually very funny because it pointed out how ridiculous racism is. And people crucified him for it, acting like he actually was racist.

retroglamx 5,177 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So he 'apologized' on Twitter: @DrakeBell I sincerely apologize for my thoughtless insensitive remarks. I in no way meant to hurt or demean those going through a similar journey. I'm not buying it though. Pink flamingos always fascinated me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
