Omg same. I donât have a lot to add to this other than Iâve never gone all the way with a woman and prefer men, personally, after being with both.
I also got a random nude from a woman bot today trying to get people to click some link. I thought I was having a conversation with an actual person and telling her I wasnât interested, but would continue having a conversation if she wanted. Too bad she turned out to be a bot. I like making new friends and support anyone who wants to do online cams and such.
I mean thatâs purely how you see it, but I think hurt is what is implied, it makes sense in the context most often. Like the videos from Trumps victory etc.
Yeah, still wrong. Itâs nothing wrong with being proud of your family. Or proud of the people who have struggled to give you the life that you have lived or who continue to fight when societal oppression tells them they should be ashamed.
His take implies that you can only be proud of yourself and nobody else.
I mean if you really want to break this argument down into semantical anecdotes i guess I cannot technically prove crying in this context is not literal, Iâve never actually seen an LGBTQ+ person genuinely cry over somebody being offensive, just angry, which is justified.

Have you seen the way that gamers have meltdowns over pride? Did you see the riots that OSRS players did over their (purely optional and out of the way) pride event? Or how about the homophobic Apex players who are busy making thread upon thread, fuming over the fact that they have a pride icon that they donât have to use? Hell, Iâve even had teammates in OW start to have tantrums and jump off the map repeatedly when I told them I wasnât going to heal them if they kept on calling me slurs. These are only some of the many examples I can list.
Thereâs the evidence to back up my point, so please be my guest and tell me how its simple âannoyanceâ as you insist it is. These are emotional reactions on the same level as crying and being hurt.
Trumpâs victory is not a minor thing. Offended is not the word to use there. Itâs a very different feeling than despair.
Are you seriously comparing the way people felt about an official getting elected and having the power to drastically alter their lives and some random saying they donât want a pride event in a video game?
Coming out applies for EVERTHING, especially out of fear, mental, physical discomfort, and other attributes beyond sexuality. My father is dyslexic. He has for his whole life a massive fear of admitting it to others out of fear of looking dumb among his peers and family. Now outside of admitting that to this thread, heâll never openly admit at that (please donât internet hunt him for this? Iâm joking on that. Really, I am). He doesnât see as prideful in admitting his fault, but it is what it as a human being.
And patriotism I donât like either. It falls in the same category of over glorifying where you live.
Pride should be reserved for something you achieve or obtain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isnât a skill⌠itâs a [one of 7 words you canât say on television] genetic accident. You wouldnât say Iâm proud to be 5â11"; Iâm proud to have a pre-disposition for colon cancer.
I did. This is what he states. He states that you cannot be proud of other people. This is false. You can be proud of other people.
Which again, thatâs not what snowflake means. Snowflake means someone is overly sensitive. It doesnât mean that someone is actually feeling hurt. They donât know if they are and do not care. They just know they someone is complaining about something that in their opinion, they shouldnât be complaining about because itâs too minor.
Edit
So calling someone a snowflake for getting annoyed that somone exists that is not for equality for gays, while complaining that Blizzard has made it known that they are for equality of gays is the exact same thing by their own worldview. And wildly hypocritical.
Thatâs a strong disagree from me, I think hurt has always been a key part of the insult. But yeah, the only way to know is to ask. My money is that yes, itâs a part of it. âHurt feelingsâ are hurled around A LOT around the word snowflake, so Iâm pretty comfortable with my bet.
