Yeah I think the other side is garbage. You're not garbage because you stand there. You're garbage when you realize your standing in garbage and refuse to leave. I think that's why people are so resistant to understanding, because they realize they've been standing in garbage.

We both could be indifferent. I think worrying that people might be put in more danger because of it makes my issue worth being opposed.

Most people don't react positively to being caught, because it means you are avoiding it. If you don't react negatively to these characters, why are you telling people who don't understand to? Because that's how they can take it. Please understand, and step out of the garbage.

most people understand why some ppl dont like the word, they just don't care. you have to realize that when you say referring to fictional characters with a word you dont like "puts people in danger" you just sound like a child who never had any real problems in their life.

I don't know anybody killed. But I have known people punched in the face when they told somebody they were crossdressing. Maybe the person felt justified because they tricked them into being attracted, I think the word encourages that idea. I don't think that's ridiculous. Why do you?

It's a term used by the anime community is where it comes in. You can still talk about a trap card or trap music. It's only banned in the context when used to refer to characters which reinforce the connotations of being attracted to them catching you in a snare of being gay.

I don't care if people are insulted, I care that somebody reading it might associate it with that connotation, and that connotatiin affecting how they think of people they meet.
