And they rightly fucking deserve it.

If you house the fascists and bigots, you become a house of fascists and bigots. It doesn't matter what the individual believes if they continue to give audience to those people. They become indistinguishable from them.

And when you're just a normal straight person who gets the willies when gay people hit on you, fuck you right?

Normal straight dude here. I've been hit on by a gay guy before. I explained the situation like an adult. All was good, no willies of any kind were had.

No "hey let's split rent and I'll get you all these free drugs" before eventually they come out with their expectations? Congrats. You don't wanna be there. You especially don't wanna share a jail cell with a dude who got himself moved in because you helped him with a phone call once and eventually he scratches the hell out of your glasses while you're in the shower because you turned him down.

Sorry for the run on sentences. I'm typing in the bathroom at work.

You bartered for drugs and were then surprised that this individual wasn't completely honest?

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't barter. They were pretty well framed as gifts.

[–] Papergeist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's the "drugs" part, dude.

Look, I smoke weed in an illegal state. I don't invite my plugs to my house, and I sure as hell don't agree to split rent with them.

You should talk to a woman sometime. They’ve dealt with getting the willies from “normal straight men” hitting on them since time immemorial.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not so bad when it's just hitting on me, but it's been so so much worse than that.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ho-leee fuck bud, you have lost the plot

It means your whining about some gay guys acting inappropriately towards you

  1. doesn't somehow justify saying absolutely vile homophobic shit like "normal straight people get the willies when gay guys hit on them",

  2. does not somehow justify homophobia in general nor its conservative apologists and therefore

  3. is incredibly tone deaf in this precise context.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

First of all, I'm gonna call bullshit on people hitting on you. Hateful attitudes aren't attractive.

Second of all, if a gay person hits on me, I'd be surprised and flattered, and politely turn them down.

Third (and more comedically), as a straight man, I would try NOT to get the willies, because I am not attracted to willies.

Normal straight dude here. I can't tell you how crazy often I have gay dudes creeping their way into my life just to eventually say they're trying to get in my pants.

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh no you know what it feels like yo be a woman for 5 minutes, the horror

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

5 minutes? Try my whole goddamn life, and if it's too bad for you it's too bad for me. Otherwise go fuck yourself and your crocodile sentiment. The problem isn't men. The problem is creeps.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Do you genuinely not realize how incredibly oblivious and tone deaf you’re being here? It’s actually kind of darkly magnificent to observe.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're all sitting in here literally gaslighting me because your experience is not the same as mine. I don't care about your groupthink bullshit or if the crowd isn't happy that my bad experiences don't paint the homophobes as evil.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

You clearly got some kinda messed up toxic shit going on.

Not to mention, you’re trying to use your personal anecdotal experiences to justify and/or downplay prejudice against entire categories of humans - here, homosexual people, but in other comments in this thread, you’re categorically dismissing the fact that in comparison to what women have had to deal with since the dawn of society, youre basically just having a Tuesday.

So yeah - I’m hostile to your worldview because your worldview is deeply caustic and offensive, and you’re using it to justify prejudice. You’re just being a fragile, egotistical, prejudicial snowflake.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're blind to your own prejudice and you think defense of those you're prejudiced against is hate. Step out of yourself.

[–] die444die@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I have a theory that the reason you “can’t tell” how often it happens is because it isn’t happening at all. It’s clear you’re just a troll looking for attention. I hope you are able to find some happiness in life so you can stop being so obsessed.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah yeah, classic "discredit people who's experiences don't align with your motivations". Real big of you. You don't know SHIT. Holy goddamn victim blaming.

[–] die444die@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

lol ok bud. It’s obvious just looking at your comment history that you’re a just an attention seeker. I guess I’ll stop engaging with you and block you.

Btw everyone it’s super easy to block people on lemmy. I highly recommend it for people like this.
