OpenAgeRatingsService: why "sex-homosexuality"? - sh.itjust.works

I can understand why all the other things would be listed here, and I would understand if sexuality in general was considered inappropriate for children, but why homosexuality in particular?

Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.

Do these backward shepherds that stone their wives need computers?

The Republican culture war being waged against the LGBT+ community should make it completely clear that your skin color or brand of religious nonsense doesn’t make you immune to bigotry.

if the democrats would stop drumming up as much hatred as possible towards us it wouldn’t have become such a large issue in the first place, People feel like it is getting worse, because it is. People who never even cared about whether someone was gay or not now has a strong negative association towards us because democrats have the incessant need to shove it everywhere they go.

It’s no surprise that people are starting to hate gay folk when they get shit for so much as looking away when they see gay people kiss in public. The amount of time’s I’ve had to say “I’m not one of those gay people” is absurd.

The far-right is not the Democrats fault and I don’t know why you’re bragging about selling out your community.
Show threaddrwankingsteinMay 16, 2024
it’s not the “far right” that’s the issue, it’s the fact that the far left is generating high amounts of animosity from anyone relatively centrist.

If you’re still bigoted towards gay people I don’t want you on our side tbh and if you’re now on the right I don’t think you were centrist in the first place. General “you,” of course.

I think people are really underestimating how bad some people are starting to feel about it. It’s constantly being talked about it the news in fairly negative circumstances. Constantly being shoved in peoples faces, “Pride Parades” where people are walking around almost, (and in many cases fully) nude in the middle of the day. Media constantly being changed (and often for the worse) to accommodate the inclusiveness etc.

a lot of people are fine with this, but even I as a man who likes men, think it’s absolutely disgusting to be walking down a public street with your dick and balls, or a woman’s crotch fully exposed. but being against this makes me a “heterosexual bigot” somehow.

People are doing so much to generate as much animosity as possible against, and I’m really starting to hate this term myself, LGBT folk. Folk who just want to mind their own business, aren’t allowed to anymore. and all of negative bullcrap, people ruining old media, walking down the streets naked, screaming at people for trying to mind their own buisness etc. all winds up getting tied to LGBT stuff.

This is what I mean when I have to tell people that I’m not one of “those gays” because I don’t think it’s right to do any of this garbage. And this garbage does make people hate the “LGBT” community.

pride parades

The news is the only thing that cares. I’ve never seen one.

media being changed

Often done for diversity’s sake at the cost of quality, yes. This is executive meddling and generally doesn’t work as intended.

Folk who just want to mind their own business, aren’t allowed to anymore

You totally are, just avoid media hype.

I don’t even think you’re necessarily wrong, but I’m arguing that in the absence of media amplofication and/or existing bigotry, this would not be a problem.

I do agree that media amplification is not only part of the problem, but a significant portion of it. but the media influence has started to regretfully show its effects
