I mean more so than usual. It's a time to celebrate our triumphs and look forward to the future. Well I live on an island where the community is unaccepted. (A lot of people here will pretend like they accept it, but dig a bit deeper and you realize they don't) So outside of tv I dont see it happening.

notlamprey Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Am I allowed to be proud of being Straight and Mixed Race? I used to get some lovely comments from certain people affiliated with the A Gays in Birmingham, AL - "breeders" was the perjorative of choice back then. Also had a gun pointed at me by one particularly... let's call him "strongly convicted" former Navy dad who insisted that his daughter "won't date no Mexican." If some kind of "Pride Month" is going to be a thing for any group identity, then it should be equally open to members of all groups and not limited only to a few. If we're being honest, every person belongs to an infinitely expansive list of minority groups. What's more, the ultimate minority is the individual, so how about we instead make ourselves into people worth being celebrated on our own personal merit? This group-based pride stuff doesn't seem to be particularly helpful in moving forward any of the important conversations re: informed acceptance of the "other" and the "strange." One of its biggest weaknesses is that it doesn't leave sufficient room for people to choose to be accepting of different lifestyles. It instead paints the issue as something people will be forced to accept, or else face the consequences. Framed in those terms, it wouldn't surprise me at all if people got angry - they feel unheard. Ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikreci Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Nothing says Pride Month like a bunch of goofs that can't deal with the concept of a celebration that isn't about them. Caution: Pride not intended for cishet consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune_me Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 It was my neighbor's birthday last week. Can you believe the bastard actually dared to celebrate his birthday and throw a party? How dared he. Birthdays are nothing special. Everyone has them. What makes him think he is so unique that he should be celebrated or should be proud that he became a year older? He could have just thrown a general party celebrating all of us in the neighborhood, but no, it always has to be all about him and his birthday. What's up with that? Nobody celebrates their birthdays, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making a big deal, not expressing discontent, simply accepting that you are what you are and having no opinion beyond that. Perhaps that's just the way I see it, I don't care who you are or what you enjoy, I see you as a human and anything beyond that is irrelevant. *Shrug* Happy Pride Month.

Your understanding of what constitutes harassment seems to be missing a thing or two. If I were you, I'd be wary of trivializing that term when you and I both know that people can and do suffer far worse than contrary or unpleasant opinions on a website. If you care about constructive discussion, and not just having a bash at someone who feels/thinks differently than you do, please be careful about watering down the concept of harassment. That would end badly for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether to be more concerned or disappointed on comments like that. If "Pride Month" is going to be about arbitrary exclusion according to a select community of those who have been ordained as "capable of understanding its complexities," then I can't support it. I'd support a holiday that was more about genuine acceptance and inclusion, but evidently that is not the holiday we're looking at. That's a pity.

That would end badly for us all. If it was strictly about people thinking or feeling differently, there wouldn't be a problem--or at least there'd be less of one. What we have are people fundamentally not understanding the purpose of the thread and stopping to chime in with variants of "Where's mine?" To use a conventional forum example, if I started a thread about Ember problems, I would be (understandably, I think) irate if people came in asking "But what about Mag?" or "What about Wukong?" or whatever else, because that isn't the point of the thread. Is it, at that point, my fault for not making a thread that includes those other things? Or would it be the posters' fault for knowing they were looking for the discussion they wanted in the wrong place and coming in anyway? Personally, I think it's the latter. Also, harassment doesn't always mean personal space being invaded or lives being threatened. 12 minutes ago, notlamprey said: If "Pride Month" is going to be about arbitrary exclusion according to a select community of those who have been ordained as "capable of understanding its complexities," then I can't support it. Perhaps I'm speaking out of place, seeing as I'm not a gay man myself, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say, as many others have already, that it's not about arbitrary exclusion of any kind, so much as it is about celebrating an underrepresented, frequently misunderstood, and very often abused subset of the global community. If you feel like there's something else you want celebrated instead, that's also fine, but that probably belongs in another thread. If you don't see what the big deal is, or don't care, then fine; move on. Nobody's excluding you at that point; you are willfully excluding yourself.

GuezMan Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 As much as this pride month thing is a good thing, it doesn't necessarily need to be represented in a video game forum. I am personally all for it if you need to verify with the world that you can demonstrate your identity. In all honesty not here though.... I and others who forum camp, shouldn't have to see this show up in the activity feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just celebrating life and the fact we get to live it our way Golden State Warriors are having a massive parade soon. I'm not a basketball fan, but I'll allow it.
