I appreciate your use of that Wisconsin boomer-ass turn of phrase

You got that right.

Navigating gaming culture to find like-minded people with the same interest is such a minefield. Even when you think you’ve found the exceptions and you’re just casually chatting about Pokemon or Katamari or some other game that doesn’t seem like it should appeal to shitty people, someone will suddenly drop, “I…

It’s also not a hard thing to figure out?

I’m not taking disingenuous comments about “who decides who is bigoted against whom” garbage. Go away, you’re not welcome, either.

“62. futile quarrel, the dishonest discussion, and having the taste for dispute.”

I guarantee he’s already guilty of at least 12 of these 

“Oh, he says it’s his religion that makes him believe there are second class citizens that should be discriminated against. Gotta respect it!”

Yeah, they’re at least somewhat aware that if every “opinion” and view is tolerated, that hatred and the desire to kill the “other” will always win, because eventually they’ll just consume everything.

I’m sure you’re as aware of this as I am, but for anybody else who might not be aware: the folks saying that their shitty views deserve to be respected don’t actually care about tolerance. They’re just using the language of tolerance to try and defend being bigots.

He’d have to prove that they fired him specifically because of his religion, as religion is a protected class legally. Therefore, they can simply say he was fired/release due to conduct unbecoming of so and so, and he’d have to prove otherwise.

This is why it’s incredibly difficult to prove even actual discrimination…

“I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.

Tell that to the “Christians” in the US that are obsessed with the idea that we’re trying to wipe straight (and white) people out (it’s always the same people stuck on “white replacement”). It’s the same kind of nonsense.

“I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.

Really what they mean is:

Agreed.  Being “religious” isn’t carte blanche to be a raging homophobic dickface ... no matter how many Americans would like it to be.

Capital G “Gamers” are a plague upon our species.

“I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,”

““I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.”

The fuck we do.

Gamers are absolute trash bags
