Xenophobia is to racism what homophobia is to ... ?

Is there a word that means “a hatred of gay people”, rather than “a fear of or aversion to gay people”? Surely there are people who simply hate homosexuality without necessarily fearing it, and vice versa. Someone who hates homosexuality should probably be condemned for their unreasonable and hateful prejudices, but...

TSG_Asmodeus,

That are ignorant people out who’ve been fed some bullshit by society about what the gay community is and isn’t.

They aren’t hateful and would in fact be friends and allies but your approach of “there is no ignorance without hate therefore I’m justified in being a dick!”

So are they hateful of gay people because of ‘some bullshit by society’ or are they not hateful?

Its your fault for acting like a dick to people who are ignorant.

This is called Victim Blaming (the caps are for the concept, not the literal pairing of words) because it implies it’s the role of every minority to convince people not to oppress them, and not on the individual to not be a bigot. To see why this is the issue it is, replace ‘being gay’ with ‘being raped’ - is it, say, a woman’s ‘job’ to convince men not to rape them, or is it on men to know not to rape people?

TSG_Asmodeus,

doesn’t exactly fit the hypothetical I described of a person who’s just afraid of the concept without harboring any hateful feelings or displaying any discriminatory behaviors toward it.

I can’t think of a single example of this in reality. Phobia isn’t ‘just afraid’ in the context you’re using, it’s an irrational terror. People who are arachnophobic aren’t ‘just afraid’ they’re terrified of spiders. That is due to an inherent part of our past (as humans) that taught us spiders/snakes/etc were a danger and to avoid them, and for these people their brain changes ‘I should avoid that danger’ to ‘I should do literally anything to get away from that danger.’

There’s no precedent for ‘people of the same gender who love each other’ being a source of terror. Nothing in our collective past would cause that.

TSG_Asmodeus,

Don’t worry, he adds “aaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy, yeeeaaah ahhh!” at the end.

TSG_Asmodeus,

It’ll always be First Encounter Assault Recon to me.

TSG_Asmodeus,

I thought it was First Encounter Assault Recon.

TSG_Asmodeus,

Also, following treaties signed under duress and in situations of radically unequally power dynamics isn’t too reasonable either.

I’m not sure the alternative to following treaties signed under duress is to not even follow said treaties. We can give them all sorts of land that we barely use, nobody is actually suggesting we give them back downtown Vancouver. The issue is we just shrug and go ‘yeah well people live in places now’.

TSG_Asmodeus,

What are we gonna do now? Give it to people that weren’t alive back then?

Yes.

Ok, so I steal your dads car. Years later, he dies, and they find me with the car. Well your dad is dead, so it’s my car now right?

EDIT:

To all the replies, what’s the cutoff? It sure seems to conveniently be the one where we keep everything and everyone else is fucked.

Should we give Japanese American/Canadian families back the houses and land they lost when they were interred? Why or why not?

If a car doesn’t count, but raw land does, what’s to stop the government from taking your house? They have the might, laws governing seizing of land is old, so fuck it, why follow it? Is that ok because they have the might?

If the actions of those ‘hundreds of years ago’ no longer apply, do Americans lose their constitutional rights? What exactly makes something ‘too far in the past’ to have actions done with it? Canadians got the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, is that old enough to break, or too new? What is the line in time, exactly?

TSG_Asmodeus,

See, it gets complicated.

Apparently we just do fuck-all because it’s ‘too complicated’ from what I’m reading here; seems pretty cut and dry. Follow treaties people in the past signed? Nah, why bother. It’s in the past. I mean honestly, what rules should we even bother following from back then.

Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and...

TSG_Asmodeus,

They’re here too, and one of them is a mod of quite a few communities.

TSG_Asmodeus,

Dredd 2012. Judge Dredd takes on a female apprentice Anderson for a training day. They mop the floor with gangsters and crooked cops. It’s a non-stop action thrill ride.

I absolutely love the part when Dredd is extremely injured and basically walking wounded, Anderson saves him from being executed, and it’s the perfect time for the Hollywood ‘Anderson nurses Dredd back from near death.’

But what happens? Dredd just field dresses himself, and it’s not romantic, at all. She literally covers him while he does it, and then they move on.

TSG_Asmodeus,

First of all. Are there any stories without sex/romance?

Alien and Aliens stand out, and as the poster below said, Dredd as well.

TSG_Asmodeus,

The fact that you seem to not have seen this before indicates that you cannot actually always contract ‘you’ and ‘are’.

I’m still re-reading this sentence. How does not having seen this before indicate what you can or can not do?

TSG_Asmodeus,

The fact that you seem to not have seen this before indicates that you cannot actually always contract ‘you’ and ‘are’.

This is the line I am referring to, not any specific word. This sentence is nonsensical:

“The fact you seem to not have seen this before indicates…” followed by “that you cannot always contract ‘you’ and ‘are.’”

How are those related? If someone hasn’t seen this before… it indicates … grammar rules? How does not seeing it indicate a grammar rule?
