~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

The left has long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far as I'm concerned.
So that just leaves you as the sole arbiter of ethics? Congrats on the self-promotion!
Didn't know I was the only non-lefty in existence! Damn. Now I feel special. (I am a lefty though so ..figure that out.)

You have long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far you are concerned. Figured it out.
Yep, and I'm self aware of it.
Ok, but I fail to see the reasoning behind your comment then.
Agree or not whether there's an ethical way to consume HP, you believe your opinion on the matter is not authoritative.
I don't think anyone would have suggested otherwise... There isn't a comment here saying "but what does minorkeys think.
Ok. You believe your opinion isn't ethically or morally authoritive, but could still have merit.
I'm guessing the people that you consider to be the "left" are who people on the left consider to be the "right". This isn't a left/right ideological issue. People should be allowed opinions and we should each be allowed to agree or disagree, in whole or in part, with the opinions of others. Through those opinions, agreements, and disagreements we should each form our own morals.
We lose our ethics and our society when we stop listening to each other's opinions and morals and instead dismiss each other because they are not from "our side".
Guess we're losing our society then because the left and right definitely refuse to listen to each other.
No, one side has been trying to explain 1+1 equals 2. The other keeps shouting about the DOW being at 50.000 and aliens are demons.
They are not equal. Like.. At all.
The left doesn't listen, it dictates.
Because you do not want to hear, does not mean the left is wrong.
And yes in that case, telling you the facts sounds like dictation.
Because the left claims something is a fact, does not make it a fact.
Ah! but that's the fun part: Facts don't care about your politics... That's why they are facts. But you are correct if you feel facts seem to always side with the left..
They are facts because they don't care? That makes just as much sense as them not caring about feelings. Facts don't have cares.
What is not to understand? Facts don't care about all kinds of things, you or my politics, our feelings, etc, etc. They have always existed just waiting until we understood them.
And again, the left tends to base their politics on them. Which is why it seems to rightwingers that facts always seem to "lean to the left" (It's part of why they never seem to like experts, they also always "lean left"). But it's just because progressive politics tend to base their reasoning on logics, facts and therefore: truth.
Basing your world view, morals and laws on a religion or your feelings (Maga) usually leads to nonsensical outcomes. Just like we are seeing now in the US, Israel, Iran, etc...
Are you actually arguing the left doesn't feel their way to their beleifs? You have an odd perception of how the left politics.
No no, merely that most educated (fact based) people tend to lean left because of what they know to be true.
Yeah the right might just be raping a few children here and there, but the left has the audacity to tell me that paying transphobes is bad.
The right has no real concept of morality.
