WAIT A MINUTE! I DIDN'T START THIS THREAD. IS SOMEONE PLAYING A JOKE ON ME? IF SO, I DO NOT FIND IT AMUSING. SERIOUSLY. HEY, MODS, HOW AND WHY IS THIS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO ME?
It was part of the original thread you started. I had to make a copy of that thread in order to isolate the ones about homophobia, since this forum software doesn't have a "split thread" function. Deleting your post (as the first one) would have deleted this whole thread.
Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3 Yeah, cause it isn't like posters on this board are hugely insulting towards women on a daily basis. Or homosexuals, or People of Color. Crandc must be making it up in her mind.
I don't get it. I started a typical thread over on the blazer area and it's moving along fine. It had nothing to do with homophobia at all. Nothing. So, how did this get started?
With the next post in this thread (the one after yours). Originally, all the posts in this thread (up to BrianFromWA's post) were in your Canzano thread. I copied the thread here and removed the homophobia-related ones from the original and the basketball-related ones from this copy. The point was to prevent derailing the thread about Canzano's article. I'm sorry about the confusion. I originally wanted to remove your opening post from this one, since it's no longer related...but if I do that, the software interprets that as wanting to delete the entire thread.
Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3 correct. all someone wrote was, 'Canzano, go suck a DICK!'... and she gets her panties in a wad, talkin' bout homophobia n' shit... crazy, huh? glad we're on the same page.
Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3 I'm glad that someone trying to point out homophobia is more offensive and infuriating to you than actual acts of homophobia.
Re: Canzano Challenges Allen to Get CP3 You have misinterpreted the first post to which you responded. Let's recap: In that post, OSUBlazerfan told Canzano to do something--an act that we are fairly certain that Canzano would not relish performing. In that respect, Blazersblood is right--it is comparable to telling someone to "eat shit", because the intention is the same. Telling someone to "suck a dick" is not the same as calling someone a homosexual any more than telling someone to "take a flying leap" is the same as calling someone an acrobat.
Love this convo btw... If someone told me to go suck a dick, i would be HIGHLY offended. If some people dont get that, than thats their issue. That doesnt make me homophobic.
Why would you be more offended than being asked to go eat liver or go consume some other meat you don't care for?
Indeed, sex acts of any sort can be used as forms of humiliation. This leads to a second question I have: would you say the insult and associated sex act is equally degrading regardless of the target's gender?
