Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Meanwhile, in 1986...
I am gay. I have had lots of gay sex. I have had lots of kinky over the top gay sex. I have talked about absolutely wild and over the top kinks with all kinds of people. I’m not trying to be gross, but to communicate that I have a statistically significant sample size.
I have never met a person who was a bug chaser. I’ve never spoken to one on Grindr, or seen one with that listed in their profile. They exist, and I’ve seen interviews with them online, but I’ve never met anyone like that in real life.
Some heterosexual women have sex with dogs - I’m not sure that it would be fair to extrapolate that to all heterosexual women.
I’ve never been to the Folsom Street fair, so I’m not sure why I am responsible or related to the behavior that happens there.
Bro, I’m in multiple “homosexual communities you can found online.” I’ve never seen anything like what you are describing.
I can find all kinds of crazy and gross heterosexual pornography. I would not generalize the behaviors I see in heterosexual pornography to all heterosexuals. I would not generalize the wild and raunchy behavior of heterosexual men and women at Mardi Gras to all heterosexual men and women.
Go touch grass - there’s a good chance that you’ll actually interact with a real gay person, instead of the imaginary demons you created in your head.
Hence.. "subculture".
Read it again.. sub. culture.
Bro, it’s not my fault that you go out of your way to seek out extreme fetish gay porn content. I prefer the more routine stuff, but as long as it’s fantasy, feel free to fap to whatever you like.
Definitely not your fault. I admit, I intentionally look for the worst in people/groups and remind myself that such people exist.
Why would you deliberately seek out the worst in people/groups and then use that to condemn the entire group? Should I argue that the majority of straight men are pedophiles based on the popularity of child sexual abuse material?
Literally every gay man I know is concerned about HIV. Lots of people go on prep. There is not a subculture of people spreading HIV consensually or forcefully. I have never met a single person in either online communities or real life who would advocate for that practice.
I have quite literally been to sex dungeons. I have seen people set fire to genitals (in a safe and controlled way). I have seen people participate in far more extreme practices. I have never seen anyone advocate, fantasize, or talk about any of the things you have mentioned.
Wait, so you admit that you, in your spare time for fun presumably, look for things the worst part of any groups do so that you can give other people excuses to hate them? Do you have any idea how retarded that is on every level? You just like to hate groups of people and go looking for excuses for it, it's like someone made a recipe on how to trick yourself with confirmation bias into being an even bigger bigot.
Also, just for fun, have you ever done that same thing with groups you belong to? Like, say for example, men, white people, heterosexuals, cisgenerders, neo-nazis, zoophiles?
First off, please just accept your sexuality so you can keep those fantasies private.
Secondly,
ROFLMAO
Yes, yes, there's a massive conspiracy by "the homos" to "attack heterosexuals with HIV" and you don't provide any proof, even though it's so easy to look it up?
Hmm... where else have I heard "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH"? Oh right, in every debate with every flat earther, antivaxxer and gun nut or other some such right-leaning people who simply can't refrain from slopping their cognitive diarrhea all over the internet while not possessing the intellectual rigour to even attempt to source what I'm sure they must know to be incredibly unlikely things.
I think you're just a stupid asshole. No need to overthink this.
I think me using the internet for learning and using what I learned to make people like you screeech is the problem you're having. Don't be mad at me.. be mad at the communities who brag about the things they do and want to do and how they want to do it.
Removed, temp ban for continued homophobia.
oh man you just learned about sociology didn't you?
You're pretending your personal views are general views.
You know that you can't write "as long as theres pride parades, I'll hate the homos", because you know that's wrong. You also can't even write that you personally dislike gay people, writing "there's many reasons to hate homosexuals", pretending (or deluding yourself) that other people are as homophobic as you.
We aren't.
Stand behind your bullshit or stfu instead of this vague "I'm saying what everyone is thinking". No, you're not, but you are telling us what you're thinking about.
Every group under the sun has haters. Pointing out some of the reasons why a group would be hated is just that.. pointing out reasons. Do I hate people who intentionally spread HIV? Yep, does that mean I hate any particular group they belong to? Nope.
No, of course you don't hate them, you just think people are justified in hating them as long as they are in public. Don't you know people will just get over their biases if other people never confront them and they never see the people they hate? We just have to make every disliked minority disappear from public view and the bigots will magically get over it.
Don't you remember when black people gained equal rights in the law by disappearing from public for a while? It was only when they stopped being so in your face about their mistreatment that the bigots accepted them and gave them rights, right?
Why don't people like you have the fucking balls to just say what you think? Why is it always this, "Oh I'd be fine with them if they'd stop asking for me to be fine with them" kind of wishy-washy bullshit. Just fucking grow a pair and say you don't like seeing gay people in public because you think they are gross and weird.
Again, distancing language while still perpetuating the same shitty rhetoric of "disease spreaders". Pitiful.
Various forms of homosexuality account for roughly a tenth of the population, more or less. Only about 80% of people identify
You know spreading HIV on purpose is a severe crime in most of the world, right? Weird how you're not talking about how "as long as men continue their toxic masculinity in the guise of 'football matches', people will continue to hate them". Did you know there are men who purposefully kill other people? 'serial killers' they're called."
And there's a whole lot more killers than there are people spreading HIV on purpose. And you won't even believe this, there's a whole fucking culture (not even a subculture, but a culture) of making documentaries, tv-shows and podcasts about these 'serial killers'.
So that's why ~~I...~~ everyone except definitely not me hates men.
No you're not. You're listing your own personal rationalisations for your personal homophobia. And oh boy...
Removed, homophobia.
wait until you find out about what heterosexual men due to children on the semi regular.
username checks out.
You have absolutely no idea what my username means.
Wait til you find out what liberals do to their children, every waking moment of their lives.
Thanks for playing, npc.
idk man, i think it's pretty clear. You want to uphold the normative values of days gone by.
nothing?
