Just one thing I wanted to draw attention to. (HOF THREAD) [View all]

This little hair-on-fire, days-long dramafest started because a thread was hidden due to the use of a homophobic/ misogynistic insult.

We saw a lot more shit follow that - 'sissies', 'knickers in a twist', portraying anyone who might have a problem with it as a woman (an old woman, of course), etc.

Then there were a bunch of posts about the c-word, and now I just saw one with 'cumdumpster'.

It's just interesting to me how this bullshit morphed so quickly from HELP HELP THE RUDE ONE IS BEING OPPRESSED! SAVE HIM FROM THE PRUDE WORD POLICE AAAAAA! and FIRST AMENDMENT!! FREE SPEECH!! CENSORSHIP!!!! SQUAAAAWK!!! into just how much hateful bigoted shit about women can I post without getting a hide?!

That is why the thread was hidden. That is simply a fact. Do you understand? redqueen Jun 2014 #7
