I don't see respect mentioned anywhere in the bill of rights. Nor is 'being repected' a RIGHT. Respect is EARNED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Well, then don't expect anyone to respect you either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showler Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Bull. You are granted immediate respect by society by being a member of a majority group. Privilege. It's a hell of a drug. You don't even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From where I am sitting, I don't have any special privileges. If I break the law, I go to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Imagine you and an identical person introducing your spouses' to a very large group of people. You introduce your wife. He introduces his husband. Are you delusional enough to believe the reactions would be identical among this very large group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showler Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 What laws are you talking about? Robin declining to participate in the erasure of minorities is not a law. Waiting for society to catch up to its claims of equality is not a law. Who brought up laws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's HIS site though, so yeah, HE makes the rules. If he doesn't want to host it, that is his decision to make. So, those mod authors are discriminated against, and their mods are banned, and sometimes the author as well. To me, that stinks of being the exact OPPOSITE of 'inclusive'.
