  • I mean, if you’re making fun of closeted repressed gay people who are republicans, you’re still making fun of closeted repressed gay people. And the punchline wasn’t “haha republican,” it was “haha gay.”

    I understand the rationalization that it’s ok to make fun of them for being gay because they’re assholes, but it’s still making fun of them for being gay.


  • A) I didn’t, it was a joke about how it’s cool to be homophobic and body shame depending on the circumstances. A disdainful one as, like I probably have adequately demonstrated, I disagree with that all too common premise. You are only perpetuating the homophobic part though, to be fair.

    B) “so yeah again I say ‘haha gays’ is fine because they’re repressed enough to be dicks.”


  • afraid to come out and lose everyone they know or even be assaulted,

    I envy the world you live in where everything is so easy as to “just not bro.”

    “Just leave the cult bro fuck your family and everything you’ve ever known who cares if the members assault or kill you just be yourself™”

    Hop on grindr, find a few, and tell them to quit being cowards. Maybe you’ll help.


  • Or they fear being ostracized from their family and friends for being themselves, but fuck them since they’re afraid to come out and lose everyone they know or even be assaulted, right?

    Rationalize it however you need to (lord knows those closeted republican gays do hahaha, yeah?) but tbh “haha gays” is still not the best punchline ever. Honestly at best it’s hack. Got any good “haha trump look liek cheto” material on deck?


  • Critical or not “gay” isn’t necessarily the best punchline, it still insinuates there’s something to mock about gayness, though I suppose your caveat is “only if it’s closeted and repressed.” They’re still just as oppressed if not more than say someone who is openly gay and accepted by their family, and mocking them likely isn’t going to convince them to come out, so idk if “it’s ok because they’re hypocrites” is actually the case. It seems to me these people are just as vulnerable as the rest of the gay population, repression and all, and might need more help because of all that.

    But y’know don’t let that spoil your good time, they probably have small wieners and are fat and gay and bald ha ha ha.


  • You can find videos of archers having fun at a range, why does that not cause school archings? You can find videos of drunk ass axe throwers having fun at axe throwing places, does axe culture inspire school axings? Fun doesn’t cause crime, the crime is caused by deep socioeconomic issues that can’t be solved by stopping fun. And fun != irresponsible without your painting it as “fun causes school shootings” especially when you differentiate it from stupidity yourself.

    Your study doesn’t actually account for the fact that most school shooters, being unable to legally purchase firearms, steal them from their parents, and therefore it’s more likely by default that their parents are “gun culture” people by virtue of owning guns. That still doesn’t mean their kids stealing their guns to commit murder is “gun culture.” Causation != correlation and such.

    Your second study basically says “the more guns around the higher likelihood someone can steal one.” Sure, but places with more permissive alcohol laws also have more drunk drivers, should we ban alcohol?


  • If you ever talked to anyone actually “in the gun culture” (a phrase that is still laughable to me as if it were a real thing), you’d learn safety is paramount, that they are not toys. This is what you’re saying is responsible for school shootings because they’re treating them like toys? Sure lol. Another example of the basic safety rules from a guy responsible for school shootings, clearly you can hear him saying “play with them wantonly” right there, huh? How bout this guy? Clearly, “gun culture” doesn’t treat guns as toys. Instigram dumbshits are not “gun culture,” the gentleman responding to them here, well, again gun culture isn’t really a thing like you seem to think but he’s as close as we’ll get just like all the other safety advocates in these links.

    You gonna blame KMFDM next, or?



  • “Gun culture” and “kids committing crimes” are two separate things. “Gun culture” (if you can even call it that) is IDPA, USPSA, Cowboy Action, skeet (haha), trap, hunting, historical collections, non-historical collections, and defense. Not murdering unarmed kids in a school with a stolen or illegally purchased gun. Incel culture maybe but not “gun culture.”

    This is like saying “car culture” is running over grandmas while drunk driving, rather than cosmetic/performance mods, racing, antique car shows full of Chevy Bel-Airs and Novas, muscle cars, etc. It’s not. “Alcoholic culture” maybe but not “car culture.”

    Maybe you should take that step back.
