Ooh look, I brought you out of the greys. You’re right I don’t get to decide what others feel but at the same time I do not allow other peoples feelings to dictate my behaviour.
If you’re offended by something that is not me being outright nasty, then tough shit. If you’re fat, then yes, you need to lose weight.…

Yes but being so afraid to be mean to someone creates the mess we have now where instead of saying, “You need to lose weight,” we say, “Big is beautiful.” “Real men like ‘curvy’ girls” and other such nonsense as a way of allowing people to feel better about their own fat asses.

There’s an obesity crisis in the US and the UK too, so I see no problem at all with fat shaming. We need to be telling fat people - and I say this as a fat sod - that they need to lose weight.
Yes, a ridiculously small minority are fat because of health issues that they can’t control. The vast majority are simply lazy…

I never said that I didn’t. ‘m just giving a reason why someone would do this to a character other than because they are a raging homophobe.

Ooh, quoting a TV character. Very edgy.

Ah.. you’re one of those women who fetishize gay men. I bet you read a lot of slash fiction and get off on gay porn. Seeing two men (or more) going at it.
Gay men are not there for your tittilation.

How many of the gay movies have you watched on Netflix? When you flick through the selection looking for a romance, how many times do you just gloss over the gay ones?
There’s nothing wrong with that if you’re not gay. Most people like to watch characters that represent themselves in some way. They might not have an…

How many shows exist with the will they won’t they dynamic of two of the characters? How many failed badly when those characters finally get together? People like to ship characters and they enjoy the tension.
Now, aside from a disturbingly large number of women who fetishize gay men and their relationships, most of…

Queer folk are still a small portion of the viewing public. The majority of the audience that will keep the show on the air and make them any kind of money will be heterosexual, so it’s not hard to imagine they decided to have a lead character that represents that majority. Means the homophobes who still like a bit of…

Look, I can see them going to whatever country has the people with the right skin colour, holding auditions or whatever then shipping them over to the country where the film is being made, giving them accomodation etc... but not for extras. Those are the people who usually quite literally stand or sit in the…

Aye, elect a TV personality as your next president, it worked so well with Trump. Hopefully by the time the next round of elections comes up, you people will elect someone with the qualifications and intelligence to do a good job of running your country.

Was so very boring I quit part way through.

Okay, come on now, if they said anything then they would have been accused of talking over women, of making it all about them. If they don’t say anything, they are called out for it.
They are in a situation where they just can’t win because of their gender, which says a hell of a lot.

Yes but it’s not just the British government is it? Do you really think the rest of the world isn’t looking askance at the US, wondering what new stupid fuckery is going to come out of there each day?
How long do you think it will be, with Trump trying to prove his manhood by threatening other countries and belittling…

Wow. Self denial at it’s finest. So unwilling to admit that a dissenting opinion might have a kernal of truth, you instantly dismiss them as russians or trolls.

Our economy is growing, despite Brexit, despite what you hear in the media, we are not a xenophobic people. We have a large number of people from many parts of the world who are welcomed and a part of our community.
Like anywhere, we have a small vocal minority of racists and arseholes, but on the whole, we are doing…

You have little real understanding of this country at all. As for Murka falling, have you looked at your own country lately? You are one step away from shanty towns in your major cities, the religious right are the Christian equivalent of the Taliban, your drug problems are appalling and the chance for a pregnant…

Hahaha, get over yourself. Read some history.

Jeez, just seen the newest story on Splinter is about ICE deporting the sole car giver for a six year old Paraplegic and here you are, so defiant of any criticism that you assume anyone who speaks out against the mighty U S of A, is either a Russian Troll or some other enemy you can safely dismiss.
Here’s the thing…

Any problems we might have pale in comparison to those of your country. More to the point, we know the days of Empire are over and are fine with that (except for a small group of vocal idiots) and don’t have the problems with race, mass killings, poverty and we don’t even come close to being the rapists you guys seem…
