So I just made a post today.
That stirred a lot of poor dialogue amongst the community.
Go read it if interested.
But I got to thinking after it was restored twice… why a post that so many hated could possibly come back.
And it’s because I
ME
I am the only one that truely understands what I was trying to say.
When I know I’m saying something out of the compassion in my heart and people can call me a bigot.
It means I didn’t help YOU understand fully.
————————————————-
I hope this isn’t long but please read if you care.
I work with A lot of older generation people.
I’m around some of the most uninformed people when it comes to acceptance.
So when I made the post….read it again after this….it was coming from a place of trying to explain what makes this mindset of person angry about LGBT.
I made my point unclear and hard to understand.
But what I was intending to say was how getting people to be more accepting of one another takes finess. Not blunt force.

Isn’t this like your third post about pride this week? Just keep it to one thread.

I really doubt those people are gonna have their minds changed on the topic by what some randoms on video game forum thinks. And last I checked, people weren’t running into like nursing homes or something and yelling about bigotry.
Many of the people complaining are either straight up homophobes and try to hide it, or they simply don’t like leftist politics and scream and yell “cancel culture” about EVERYTHING that has a vague left tint to it regardless if it’s appropriate to the situation or not. If there was no backlash, they’ll invent it. So they can position themselves as champions against.

Dude, this is the messed up part of your “opinion”:
“ This culture that exists that essentially forces the world to be accepting of LGBT instead of letting people become accepting in their own. Instead of letting people make their own decisions.”
In other words you are saying that it’s peoples choice whether to be homophobic or not and we shouldn’t be trying to actively change their minds and make the world a happier and safer place for lgbt people.

So you just don’t want to read the post or it doesn’t matter what I say and you want to start an arguement?
Sorry just tired of this circle

I mean, this could have easily been added to your opening post. It’s against tos to make multiple threads about the same topic.

That’s fair then but at the same time I was trying to clarify without it getting lost at post 400 and something too

Just edit the original post. I mean I kinda see why you’re tired of that one. Your opening post was pretty bad and discussion got way worse from there. Like it had someone saying Russia has the right idea.
I still feel like you don’t really get why that went crazy though. Seems like you’re being defensive moreso than like willing to be open as to why so many lgbt posters felt that post went wrong. So I don’t really see how this one would turn out much different anyway.
Not the case you mis judge me
Well someone opened the floor to that discussion above me. He highlighted the part that upset people and why.
You’re the OP. You have the floor. Go talk to them if I’m wrong. 
That’s the thing people won’t change their mind on me that they already made… it’s just one final comment and that’s it… I’m done with everyone trying to prove each other wrong it’s just my opinion.
Interesting. Fighting homophobia with ageism. That wouldn’t be my choice, but I’m just an old man who doesn’t understand the world like you do.

I mean you say you’re not just being defensive and want people to understand. But then you won’t have the conversation to try to make them? Okay. Well actions speak louder than words. And that’s all I have left to say on that I suppose. Not giving me much else to work with.
Enjoy your day.
I don’t get it though OP, a lot of people want a pride icon, but who’s saying that blizzard is being forced to make one.
People have wanted a pride icon for a while but there’s not really an outburst to be found like you say there is.
I mean a pride icon isn’t really something that can be forced onto people.
Yeah, I think you’re right in that Blizzard clearly didn’t have a fire lit under them, seeing as they took five years before doing anything. I think it’s pretty clear that this wasn’t some sort of caving to pressure.
I’m just glad that people who wanted their Pride stuff are finally getting it.
