A serious request regarding anti-LGBT+ posts on this site.

[Lethal]

What are the offensive comments that I have made on this forum?

I do realise that you guys may not understand humour so I will give you all the benefit of the doubt

If you were actually funny then we may 'get' you. Read the room. Insinuating that homosexual people are lizards isn't what I would deem a joke, and if that's your cup of tea, then what a fun existence you may hold. Maybe you can go deny the Sandy Hook shooting with your mate Ronda whilst you're at it for a laugh?

Jokes are appropriate as long as it’s not the specific joke you were just told is a no go. Pretty simple.

That's actually mental lol. You do not get to decide when people joke or not. My post being taken down is a disgrace

George Orwell's 1984 was written in 1949 in the after math of Nazi Germany and World War 2. It was also written as a response to the Soviet Union's practices of extreme authoritarianism, not to mention the rise of McCarthyism that would take root in America In 1950-1954.

McCarthyism was at the time the pre-eminent thought police in the United States, just as the Soviet Union's unpersoning program fit right into 1984's dystopia.

Modern day Russia and modern day China are two great examples of Orwellian society at large. You have the government running the media and controlling the narrative, people who have a different opinion to the status quo being made to disappear or killed for believing differently, and people living in fear for potentially "thinking" the wrong thing.

There is zero comparison between the inconvenience of having to wear a piece of cloth to potentially prevent the spread of disease (which cultures like Japan have adopted into the status quo for over 100 years), and being made to disappear because you dared to protest a war your nation has started.

This is hopefully the last we need to talk about wrt George Orwell.

Pretty sure if Smark decides on a site he owns - then he can decide that.
If you don't like it - you are free to head to the exit door whenever you want

I’m pretty sure I can, actually.

Why is leaving lgbt out of it such a hard thing for people?

If we said don’t insult black people, we’d get no pushback.

It doesn't matter if people think I am funny or not. That is completely irrelevant so please stop bringing that up. You are a broken record.

If you don't like the joke then get over yourself. Your the one acting as the joke police. If you think it's offensive then that's your problem. Clearly blatant satire if this forum doesn't add joke then what's the point? It's just a safe space

What's sandy hook got to do with this discussion? And who the fuck is ronda? You must be confusing me with someone else.

You think because I made a joke making fun of outlandish conspiracy theories that I belive in outlandish conspiracy theories that makes no sense whatsoever

Tyrannical. This forum shouldn't dictate humour

Ayo......Someone going "don't do this" then doing it isn't satire. That's antagonism....that's another form of comedy. But it's not satire.

We need to nip that in the bud sir.

All forums have a code of conduct. Doesn’t make it tyranny.

I would of made the exact same joke just replace gay people with black people. I have no prejudice against gay or black people so the joke is flexible.
