Your argument is that it's perfectly okay to make jokes at the expense of somebody based on a trait they have had since birth and are unable to control, so long as most of society doesn't normally do it?

Blackphoenix are you a men's rights activist? Do you often talk of the proliferation of reverse discrimination? Are you concerned with the rise of male sexism in america?
Do you honestly not see a difference between a group of people who have been hated and systematically destroyed and hurt in the past, and a group of people who haven't?

Black phoenix i have been pummeling jerks like you online for years -- Don't even try this bull shit
Until being white, straight, middle-class, and male are no longer considered "normal", nobody who's any of those things has any right to complain about getting teased for it

The answer is to not make jokes at the expense of a person based on their natural inborn traits that they can't change. What has happened in the past and is still happening today to homosexual people, while absolutely abhorrent and something that I hate to see and try to help stop, doesn't change that it isn't an ok thing to do.bubs Wrote:The no ironic racism rule refers to people saying things that are ACTUALLY RACIST or offensive but doing so in an ironic way.

You don't seem to get that there is an inherent difference between making a joke at someone's expense because they're gay and making a joke at someone's "expense" because they're straight

You can't choose the race you were born with, the gender or sex you were born with, or the sexuality you were born with. Middle class -can- be changed, for better or worse, and while I'm not a fan of making jokes at a person's economic status, especially not to those who are impoverished as it is rarely their fault, I at least see that it isn't the same. Saying "I am gay and was born that way so you don't get to make jokes at my expense, but you're straight and were born that way so I get to make jokes at your expense" isn't okay. Again, I am -not- saying you should be allowed to make jokes at the expense of gay people/minority races/women/anyone's inborn traits, I'm saying you shouldn't do it. Ever. At all. It is wrong.

So long as it's a reversal of the usual status quo of the majority oppressing the minority and making jokes at their expense, yes. I am completely okay with that.

Re: BlackrayJack and Bubs, LLJK#2, January 9th - BlackPhoenix - 01-09-2014
Atomic, you are saying that it is different because there have been and still are incredibly large majorities of bias against people based on a certain inborn trait, in this case homosexuality. That is true. You are saying that there have not been nearly as many, if any, amounts of that same bias against people based on a different inborn trait, in this case heterosexuality. That is also true. You are saying that it is wrong to make jokes at the expense of a person based on an inborn trait, homosexuality, because it's not something they control and it doesn't make them "less of a person" or any of the other bullshit insults that bigots like to throw. That is true. You are then saying that, you -should- be allowed to make jokes at the expense of a person based on a -different- inborn trait. I don't see how that is the case, if you've already argued that inborn traits aren't something to be made fun of.
