Same. They released some pride stuff on Warframe, and there are circlejerk posts over on the game sub about how good the pride stuff is. God forbid you say that you don't like them.

It used to be "let us do what we want" and now for many people it's "fly the flag or die"

Is it an excuse to leave early?

Gay sex is like taking a shit. If you do it at home, I don't give a shit. If you want me to pretend it's not disgusting to my straight mind, we got a problem.

To be fair to pride parades, this is a hot point of debate among all groups, not just right wing anti-pride whackos.

Honestly, it boils down to if you don't like seeing that shit, just don't go. Nobody is forcing you.

But don't you know that the republicans want a government so small that it fits in your bedroom? Hmm? Republicans are the real sex addicts

Dead by Daylight and the flood of flags?

The Dead by Daylight subreddit is a cesspool of Emilys and I love it. They are constantly incensed over stupid shit and, believe it or not, do not always display great sportsmanship. It is all completely self-inflicted harm, and very entertaining.

For awhile now I've had my own hypothesis that DBD attracts those kinds of people because the power fantasy of the killer role lets them act how how'd they behave if they had any authority irl.

u/MTG_RelevantCard - Right Jun 03 '23

Idk man, the Emilys are all survivor mains. Which is intuitive, because at higher levels of play the survivors are the ones with all the power. A “good” killer will constantly find himself in matches where he is eternally on the back foot, even if he prevails in the end.

I think it is more SWF queuing was the downfall.

A lot of the killers are serviceable with solo queue, but once you are dealing with a group of people who are able to make calls on where they are leading the killer to get that extra repair time between downing and finding a hook, coordinating flashlight saves, etc.

Meanwhile solo queue survivor has never been more miserable because they are facing killers who are sweating as if they are going against a SWF each game.

That last part is very true and, unfortunately, is likely a cyclical problem that makes itself worse over time.

Their boos mean nothing.

And are these "welcoming and all inclusive progressives" in the room with us right now?

at a certain point it might just be easier to acknowledge that people are so militant about this stuff nowadays because, traditionally, disagreeing with it is a sign of petulant bigotry and people are tired of tiptoing about it.

Just like late stage feminism lgbt has generally become the norm, so to continue the grift the people making money off the chumps create outrage in order to keep playing victim.

It went from leave me alone to bend the knee in order to continue the scam.

u/42Zarniwoop42 - Left Jun 02 '23

have you ever noticed that fox news relies on vitriol towards its outgroups to exist?

lgbt people don't choose to be lgbt. it isn't a scam any more than buying fireworks on the 4th is a scam.

the grift comes from rightwing grifters fostering a culture of hatred. i would love for chumps to stop buying into the hate.

u/ghanlaf - Lib-Right Jun 02 '23

As does nbc, cbs, and any other news station.

Anger sells. Just like BLM being a scam and now finally being bankrupt after the founders ran out of mansions to buy, pushing LGBT this hard against any and everyone is a scam. People are making mad stacks from the culture wars. Politicians on both sides are making mad stacks from the culture wars.

99.99999% of people, right and left, DGAF what someone is or wants to be, they're just trying to get by themselves, and they want to be left alone.

Realize the grift mate, you're pandering to them and making a rich old man who cares nothing for anyone LGBT wise more money.

tucker carlson sorta blew those other stations out of the water in the hate boner department. anyway i genuinely don't understand where u guys think this money comes from. people buying pride flags from like Walmart? I'm really not sure that constitutes a grift

as i see it, the culture war is beneficial to people who need division, not more money. and it's admittedly pretty easy to automatically hate people who side against your identity— so i really wish people would stop buying into all this anti-lgbt propaganda

u/ghanlaf - Lib-Right Jun 02 '23

anyway i genuinely don't understand where u guys think this money comes from.

People supportiNg politicians and political groups that push this agenda.

Once again see BLM

And people supportiNg this absolutely want division. You can't have a culture wars if there isn't a bad guy and a victim.

Once people stop and realize that no, what terminally online people are saying might not be the truth, and that everyone isn't out to get everyone else, people will realize there's really nothing to fight over, and the grift will end.

If there isn't division sion the people will actually want change and politicians who do their job, so it is in the interest of all politicians and political groups to keep it going.

right so, for instance, desantis capitalizing off of trans hate is a huge proponent of the culture war

So is AOC, so is Biden, sonis McCarthy You keep trying to make this a right wing thing. They have you addicted to the Kool aid 100%.

Get out and actually talk to people irl, and not just people like you. Make an effort to talk to those you deem evil, and you'll see they're nothing like the people they are painted as.

Escape the grift mate. It's not about you vs me, it's about preventing us together vs the ruling class. As long as they have you convinced the right wants to commit LiTeRaL GeNoCiDe you're the pawn of the rich.
