It’s amazing how many “woke” people don’t care about gay rights when they’re being asked to sacrifice something as minor as a fast food chain. Fuck everyone who claims to support gays and eats at Chick-fil-a or supports women but shops at Hobby Lobby.

It’s not just opinions. When I give people money, and they in turn give that money to causes I vehemently oppose, I’m knowingly giving money to those causes. I’m not okay with that.

My sentiments exactly. It would take a pretty magnanimous (and very public) retraction of their past donations to hate groups before I’d even consider setting foot in a Chick-fil-A again. I know damn well they’re not going to lose any sleep/market share over not getting my business, but just as what they do with their…

The delicious taste of homophobia.

Do you consider donating millions of dollars to anti-LGBT organizations to be a wild overreaction? You’re free to eat there or not as you please, but for me personally I have no desire to give their business any of my money (not that they need it) because of the actions they’ve already taken.

The thing is, there will always be dumb people in this world. That doesn’t mean they should be taken advantage of. Predatory lending like this needs to be cracked down on. It never will be, though, because the people in power love taking advantage of the lower quartile population’s lack of financial knowledge.

Sex work would still exist in a utopia, as would rape and murder. But it would be an anomaly

Have you noticed how a lot of the hazards around sex work would be significantly reduced if sex work wasn’t criminalized? HMMMMMMMMM.

I had to look up how the hell they’re doing this “therapy”. Per Forbes:

What would be awesome is if we removed the stigma from sex work and treated it like other jobs, with benefits and shit.

In a utopian setting, sex work would likely be pretty normalized.

Do you really believe if we were living in a utopia that sex work wouldn’t exist? I don’t know about that.

Not really; I’m looking for a situation wherein the tendency in others to be dipshits isn’t explained away as being, “Well, YOU, as an individual, should have to deal with it.”

That argument boils down to: “People will be assholes, and you have to cope with it,” which I actually agree with. The problem with your…

idk dude, i’d like to be able to coordinate things with my teams without being called a faggot

The Catholic Church was asking for it when they invited Buress to perform. It’s the church’s fault, and they need to repent for what they’ve done and then they need to be quiet about it because no one will believe them anyway.

They invited a comedian best known by the general public for making jokes in a set about a then well-respected man’s long history as a serial predator, and then expected him to not say anything about the church’s own abuse scandals? C’mon Loyola.

They actually are giving owners the content for free, the best reduced price.

Your last line “ As a woman who grew up with video games, I am not only misjudged today, but, back then, I would have been misjudged by you.” really speaks to me as a minority.

I think it’s so easy for white boys/men to look back at these times as being so inclusive, but the reality was? It wasn’t. I was a Black nerd…

Totally anti-gamergate. Totally see your point - I think what I meant there is not that I would be embarrassed in front of girls because of my geeky tendencies, but would be embarrassed in front of girls by the jocks/cool-kids because of them. Sort of traumatic at 13-14. But we had girls in our crew too - we weren’t…
