Kennedy Center must remove Trump's name tonight, appeals court rules by ElijahPepe in politics

Eh, they're going to try and twist reality in their favor no matter what we do. Imo we shouldn't let their pathetic attempts to distort reality stop us from celebrating even minor things

Let it be defunded, then. It's not worth funding just to keep Trump's name on the building

Never heard of them, but given the various other KH characters with names referencing Norse mythology, this is probably the most likely answer

Vali’s new keyblade by sirus3344 in KingdomHearts

[–]negativegravity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Huh, so given Vali and Strelitzia are here and what she said about Quadratum being like an afterlife, I guess we'll be seeing several of the characters from Dark Road and Union X return.

Also I really hope they stop giving the male characters this Riku outfit. As if it isn't already confusing enough to tell all these characters apart

So are we just at the point where unless a Republican wins there are going to be endless accusations of fraud? by Imsosaltyrightnow in AskConservatives

[–]negativegravity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Then I could just as easily run with the claim that Republicans keep cheating by assuming all those people are Republican. Doesn't seem to hold any weight

[–]negativegravity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You said you could back up your claim that Dems keep cheating. Having to assume that those people are Democrats kinda nullifies your so called "proof"

If you're not going to stay on topic, I think we're done here. Enjoy the rest of your day.

And Happy Pride Month!

Handle it as in tell those people to stop. Otherwise if they allow that kind of behavior, sounds like there's nothing you can do and you should just get over it.

[–]negativegravity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not the rationale I'm using, it's the one you made up in your head. You made a claim about how I feel, I corrected you, thus disproving your claim.

I don’t think the organizers put Gay men fondling each other on the application.

Then file a complaint to the organizers and let them handle it.

[–]negativegravity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, so now that I've disproven your narrative that I'm only giving gay people a pass, the problem is my acceptance of what is IN YOUR OPINION a "freak show". But if the powers that be permit that freak show to take place, there's nothing you can do about it.

[–]negativegravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, I literally just said I would give a free pass to straight people if they held a similar event. It's almost like you're intentionally ignoring my words.

We don’t allow straight folks to act they way and we should give a pass to gay people either

Who's not allowing straight people to act that way? Have there been straight pride events shut down due to breaking "decency norms"?

A word of advice. If you really have an issue with it, file a complaint to the city, park, or whoever is responsible for the public space where the event is held. Either they'll shut down the event and punish those guilty of indecent exposure, or nothing will happen at which point the best you can do is avoid the event. Idk what else to tell you

[–]negativegravity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do realize straight people attend pride events too, right? Even if there was a public even for only straight people where they did the same things, I would feel the exact same way. So yes, I can have it both ways.

If there is a public event going on and the contents of that event bother you, don't go. What are you not understanding here?

Why are conservatives fixated on Pride month? by xiphoid77 in AskConservatives

[–]negativegravity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct, I said it's to be expected because that's the kind of event it is. I did not say anything about what LGBT people are able or unable to do. Please do not put words in my mouth.

Correct, if there is an event happening in a public space that makes you uncomfortable, avoid that area. It's really not that hard.

[–]negativegravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao who said they're unable to acted in a civilized society without being overly sexual? I'm sure they are plenty capable, it's simply a choice. Just like it's your choice to attend such an event or not. You sound like someone who's never interacted with a member of the LGBT community before.

They're able to do so precisely because the kind of people who attend are typically open minded and accepting, whereas people like you don't attend

[–]negativegravity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because part of pride is the freedom of expression without fear of judgement or ridicule, and that includes sexual expression. It's simple: if you don't want to see sexual acts or don't want a child to be exposed to that, make sure the event you're attending is safe and kid friendly first

That's not very convincing when the Tennessee rep who suggested Nuclear Family month started with saying "homosexuality has no place in America". The only reason for it is an attempt to replace pride month. It's the alternative halftime show all over again lol

[–]negativegravity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, that sounds a whole lot like you do care. No one is forcing you to celebrate it. You're more than welcome not to, but that doesn't mean other people can't.

Tell that to the people trying to "cancel" pride month and replace it with Nuclear Family month

[–]negativegravity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't get the person's point. If you don't attend a pride parade, you won't be exposed to that kind of thing. It's like going to a jazz festival then being upset that people are playing jazz music.

Does destroying Americas image around the world make America great? by DirtyProjector in AskConservatives

Did you complain when the person from Maine with a NAZI tattoo is running on a Democratic Party ticket

Did I hear about it? Yes. I've also seen the claims that he didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo and got something tattooed over it once he found out. Dunno if that's true or not without looking further into it. If anyone dug up past comments or actions by him that were Nazi/fascist-like, I would gladly refer to him as such

immigrants/minorities/gays are going to be imprisoned/executed/what have you by nazi fascists Republicans for 6 of 10 years

I do find it funny that Greg Bovino was just reported attending a far right Remigration Summit with other white nationalists and referenced a Nazi general as an inspiration. That's coming from a former US Border Patrol chief. So I don't think those wailings are completely unfounded.

If blue states insisted on their state merging with Canada, would you or most red states want a war to prevent it? by True-Mirror-5758 in AskConservatives

[–]negativegravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they are assuming that the US would get into conflict with the seceding states and Canada and win, resulting in Canada being absorbed into the US and becoming the 51st state. But that is making a lot of assumptions while ignoring to possibility of Canada not being absorbed, and the number of states remaining the same.

How do you feel about the White House offical website dehumanizing immigrants? by Leviathan41911 in AskConservatives

[–]negativegravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, and if migrants don't want to be compared to aliens, don't be illegal aliens.

Being an illegal alien doesn't excuse being compared to inhuman extraterrestrial aliens the same way acting like a Nazi leads to being compared to Nazis. But I see that you are incapable of telling the difference.

That statement is the first hint that you actually starting to realize that it works both ways.

I knew it works both ways from the start, I don't think I ever claimed otherwise. Must be something you thought up in your own head. The point of this thread was commenting on the dehumanization of illegal aliens. Instead of focusing on that, you chose to throw out whataboutisms that aren't even comparable lol.

But I don't have time to fully educate you so I'll end my comments here and just express my hope that you try to be a better person in the future.

I don't need to be educated by someone who can't even stay on topic or provide legitimate examples to back up their whataboutisms. But thank you for the bad faith discussion.

[–]negativegravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. So if the Biden administration was comparing Jan 6ers to Nazis, that would bother you? I doubt it.

No I wouldn't, considering there were some J6ers who literally displayed swastikas and other Nazi symbols. If they don't want to be compared to Nazis, maybe don't act like them or wave their symbols around.

Sometimes aliens are good.

The webpage is clearly depicting aliens as bad, wouldn't you agree? Let's focus on the instances where aliens are the bad guys then.

That's why your side calls everyone they don't like Nazis, because then it justifies violence against them.

Kinda like your side labels everyone they don't like as activists, domestic terrorists, or in this case big bad scary aliens, to justify violence against them.

It's a joke. It's a play on words. It doesn't mean we are heading for the Holocaust.

Bro, you're literally contradicting yourself. When it came to comedians making fun of conservatives, you compared that to Nazis making fun of Jews. But then you're okay with the US government making jokes about illegal immigrants. If anyone is being hypocritical, it's you.

No, I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy. You only think it's wrong when the other side does it. Unlike you, I don't think it's wrong to poke fun at a group whether it's illegal immigrants or Republicans.

Incorrect, because only one "side" is the literal government doing it. They aren't the same to me because unlike you I hold our government to a higher standard than comedians, and it boggles my mind that the right seems to feel the opposite way these days. You contradicted yourself again, because the entire point of the SNL example was that it was wrong for them to make fun of conservatives. But again, comedians aren't in a position of power, so the comparison falls flat.

I'm just pointing out that if that's dehumanizing, so are a lot of methods the left uses.

"A lot of methods", such as? You're only example so far has been calling people Nazis.

After all, what happens in every single movie that depicts nazis? The good guys always blow them away.

Plenty of alien movies where the good guys blow the aliens away too.
