Truly dire straits.

And taking away the semi-sarcasm, it's not. You are equating someone who calls you the-word-that-must-not-be-mentioned-despite-the-fact-that-fear-of-the-name-increases-fear-of-the-thing-itself with straight rather than jackass, which isn't the right approach.

#NotAllStraights

That just means it is all straight people even more!

Wait what are we accusing them of doing this time?
Being insensitive and calling people names, the horrid non-gay bullies :P

Well I've only ever been called a fag by The Straights (unless it's affectionate from a Fellow Queer, and even then, they ask first) and I've only seen The Straights use it so cluelessly in other contexts. Usually if a Fellow Queer uses it in the 4chan manner and someone asks them not to, they go "shit sorry bro" and don't try to die on the hill of calling people fags even if they're bothered because free speech.

The Straights

Thanks for that, Descan. It feels good to know I'm your enemy because of my sexual orientation.

Oh wait.
Those two things are not nearly as equivalent as you think they are Arx.

Calling you something that you don't want to be called doesn't appear to me to be the preserve of straight people.

Again, jackasses, maybe. But you'll get gay people doing the same to you - for instance if you were ginger, they might call you a ginger or something - it's just that for them that name is more loaded than the other myriad little annoying words everybody uses to describe everyone else.

A gay person would call me Irish as quickly as a straight person would, and no matter that I hate that. Other people from Northern Ireland would understand and not call me that were I to express a desire for it to be so. Doesn't mean I think that everyone not from my country is a jackass. Just that they're more aware about that particular form of jackassery.

Basically, tarring people with brush, yada yada.

I feel insulted by being called The Straight. Sounds like I'm some kind of Nazi.
I AM BEING TRIGGERED.

Also, unrelated WTF - they changed the main rifles sounds from CS:GO.

They used to tour with The Nice around 1970. Then the third lead keyboardist got accidentally stabbed in the hand with a dagger Greg Lake was fetching him after he tripped on the second lead bassist's cape.

... would it really be worth it at this point? Pretty sure there's at least a dozen or three posts in the OOCQ thread that's basically exactly that sentence, just with a different poster saying it.

Those two things are not nearly as equivalent as you think they are Arx.

There is no way othering will ever end well. What Descan is doing there is splitting it into an 'us' camp (LGBTQIA+ or however you like to term it) and a 'them' camp ('The Straights'). It's exactly equivalent to 'us righteous God-fearing folks' and 'filthy <censored>s'.

I appreciate that there's a massive difference between the context of the two, but that doesn't change what's actually happening. Which is, in both cases, othering. And that's not okay and will never be okay.

Man, I appreciate the righteous outrage but please don't assume things about my posts like that. :/

Dwarfy has laid out the other half of what I was saying quite nicely. Who are you, and what have you done with the real Dwarfy?!



I don't mean to be hurtful, and that was a bit flippant, sorry. I'm just hella on edge because we're on the verge of university being cancelled until the end of the year because of some hooligans that are, amongst other things, explicitly racist. FeelsBadMan
