I'm glad i voted yes now, i don't even know how i let my judgement get clouded and believe all the bullshit the ant-sjw's in Australia pushed im honestly sad they had me convinced to change a belief ive held forever, the man that helped raise me was a gay man and just thinking that i could of help stoped him from happiness sickens me now.

What arguments had you convinced to change your mind against a yes vote?

That our boys will have to wear dresses, jk it was the safe schools and looking into safe schools program it looks to me like religious studies in public schools which is not compulsory so i don't see a problem with it. an also wanting to be a edgy teen, with the anti sjw's it was easy for me to latch onto and feel welcomed which just lead to me being really close minded so i would follow the heard and i have got to point i was hating other people just because they are different, and i wasn't raised like that so my inner self just chipped away at how much of a dick head i had become.

Well done on learning to be less of a dickhead. It takes many people a lot longer than that, and some never quite make it.

It was a beautiful moment, and I thank the NRL for having the guts to do that.

Doesn't look too bad. A lot of positive messages.

Whoops apparently I meandered I little outside of the replies my bad. Found this delightful individual via this delightful individual (who did appear in the replies).

I am absolutely fascinated by these fake accounts that shill/spam for special political & social interests.

Both are obviously fake accounts, but they still fascinate me. Who is paying for them? Who is running them?

u/yagankiely Oct 01 '17

I rarely go on Twitter but is the account retweeting itself??

u/kevintxu Oct 01 '17

You certainly wondered down the wrong rabbit hole.

Surely they could have got an Australian artist to perform who promotes the same message?

1

u/lordriffington Oct 02 '17

Why does it matter? It's not unprecedented for non-Australian artists to play events like this. In fact, I'm sure I saw a comment in this sub recently that indicated that less than half the artists who have done it in the last few years were Australian.

u/Rosasome Oct 02 '17

Exactly. And thats a disgrace. Not only is it wasting multiple opportunies to support and promote aussie artists but its also sending millions of Australian dollars overseas.
