He does not have to apologize because what he said wasn't inflammatory nor offensive. We do not need a noose and a high tree every time someone says something you disagree with.

Ryuji-Otogi is hiding behind an attitude of "just telling the truth" as if he isn't dog-whistling and demeaning minorities with names like 'alphabet people' or completely refusing to read the texts from other voices in this thread merely to pull down their pants and wave around their metaphorical penis as if to mock the entire discussion. The post you are trying to link it to in some sort of play at calling out hypocrisy...is me saying that the Vic Mignogna's sycophantic leeches are a result of a justice system and societal issues that allows cishet white men to get away with treating women (and minorities of all sorts in broader contexts) like shit.
Yeah, I'm going to get upset when this bullshit happens. The user in question is now on my block list so I don't have to look at their stupid shit. ♥

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
Completely ignoring the entire thread, making silly claims that insult our perspective (and frankly the LGBT+ community at large), and calling us "Alphabet People" is asinine at best, and that last part was an intentional mockery.
I'm not hanging a fucking noose, I'm stating a fact: Don't come in here without reading the intent of the thread or any of its body and then throw around accusations, insults, and generally be an ass to people without expecting them so say some variation of, "Eh fuck you too buddy."

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
it's just such a easy and frustrating troll-ish move. you can't be purposefully dismissive to a entire topic and the idea of more lgbtq+ representation, well making backhanded insults to a entire community and then just go "sorry you feel that way bro /:" when you get slightly called out.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
While "alphabet people" is obviously derogatory and very much an alt-right bigoted term, I will say that I do feel that having as many letters of identification as in the title of the thread is a bit absurd and could make the entire community look like a joke, and thus does more harm than good.
My bisexual sister feels the same way. We both agree that LGBT, LGBTQ and LGBT+ are well enough, though perhaps a new, brief, all inclusive term should be adopted that would satisfy any and everybody.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
There's still a bit of question as to whether or not this thread was even made in good faith in the first place and that title is a huge hint that it's not, because a majority of the LGBT+ community do not bother past Q.Metalwario64 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 6:28 pm While "alphabet people" is obviously derogatory and very much an alt-right bigoted term, I will say that I do feel that having as many letters of identification as in the title of the thread is a bit absurd and could make the entire community look like a joke, and thus does more harm than good.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
I won't say it hasn't been used by those on the alt-right, but I'm not sure its an alt right bigoted term either. From my point of view, the "alphabet people" isn't used as a slander for anyone who isn't straight, but more as a term to highlight the absurdity of a very vocal minority within the LBGT group that as you said yourself, does more harm than good.Metalwario64 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 6:28 pm While "alphabet people" is obviously derogatory and very much an alt-right bigoted term
That's exactly it. I don't see it any worse than Julie's ramblings of "cishet white men" being the cause of all problems on the planet, in fact I would think the latter is much more dangerous.I will say that I do feel that having as many letters of identification as in the title of the thread is a bit absurd
Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the thread wasn't made in good faith. I typically use LGBTQIA+ because I know ace folks and I feel like intersex folks are often ignored in the discussion or perhaps prematurely wrapped in with transgender folks. I also vaguely recall seeing LGBTQIA+ being used somewhere before but I seriously can't remember where.KaiserNeko wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 6:35 pmThere's still a bit of question as to whether or not this thread was even made in good faith in the first place and that title is a huge hint that it's not, because a majority of the LGBT+ community do not bother past Q.Metalwario64 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 6:28 pm While "alphabet people" is obviously derogatory and very much an alt-right bigoted term, I will say that I do feel that having as many letters of identification as in the title of the thread is a bit absurd and could make the entire community look like a joke, and thus does more harm than good.

Frankly, I really want to try and popularize GSRM: Gender, Sex, and Racial Minorities since tend to be so intrinsically connected (Hey there Martha P Johnson!). I hope it can gain some traction so I don't have to explain it quite as much.

It's class warfare. The wealthy trick white people in blaming their poor economic positions on undocumented residents and and minorities.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
Oof, yeah. I know there are a lot of genuinely bigoted people out there but humanity as a whole isn't naturally evil. Look no further than the strategic class warfare that conservatives have been waging on the working-class since The Civil Rights Act was passed. Nixon had the Southern Strategy as well as making blacks synonymous with heroin and Reagan gutted our welfare programs by tying them strictly to black and brown folks. This is why we need universal programs that apply to everyone, even the wealthy. Means-testing will just be used to turn poor and upper-working-class whites against poor minorities.KaiserNeko wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 10:54 pmYeah but... fuck, man, if there ain't a bunch of rich assholes makin' money off of trickin' people.

Trick implies they don't believe what they are saying. The people benefiting from this aren't the source the problem, they are a symptom, but this all feels off topic.KaiserNeko wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 10:54 pmYeah but... fuck, man, if there ain't a bunch of rich assholes makin' money off of trickin' people.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
I think of anything the disconnect in this thread is that YES everyone knows that Piccolo or rather Namekians in general are a predominantly “male like” species and they lay Eggs but they also don’t need to hump anything to do it. We all know that. We know that Namekians don’t deal in romance or sexual feelings because it’s not in their DNA to do so. I don’t know what comes into play when a human decides to be/realizes that they are “ACE”. I actually went on a date with a girl who turned out to be Asexual.. She was cool, that’s a story for another time though lol
The problem is that with the way the tread is titled and with how Super is largely a product of fan demand or at least it seems that way. No one wants to see Piccolo suddenly running around in “short shorts” and a “Rainbow Cape” just to please an extremely small group of people.
Btw anybody Remember Miyuki from YuYu Hakusho.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
I've had it pointed out to me that the 'R' in GSRM stands for 'romance' and not what I thought it did. Whoops.
There sure is a lot of obsession in this thread with randomly putting down the LGBTQIA+ community.
