Skittlr, LGBT+ only social media platform fundraiser (past its goal of $100)

[Camel]

hey, did you know there's a forum for ONLY Blockland players?!? How crazy that they want to conform to the ideal of having bought the game and wanting to discuss it

are you equating buying blockland to being LGBT?

the difference is that buying blockland is a choice, whilst you ARE LGBT.

lel im on your side dude. i wasn't going for choice/not choice, i was going for being part of a community.

well you coulda convinced me more.

i think we're having a big argument but we're not really looking at the issue, and i think it's cus of how kimon presented this issue to us.

what did i do

[Camel]

what did i do

hidden bias in the fact that kimon writes LGBT+ only instead of LGBT+ catering.when i make a topic for parkour enthusiasts, let's say, i would logically assume anyone who comes is most likely a fan of parkour. However, if i say ONLY for parkour enthusiasts, my intent was to make sure the people who come only conform to one ideal.

take the only out of your title:and it suddenly becomes mundane and not crazy, and not worthy of mockery.

[Kimon²]

no i mean this was brought to my attention by some post on tumblr where they describe it as, and i quote, "lgbt+ only"
but why would straight people want to use it anyways?

[Kimon²]

further proof:


the creator (i assume) describes as "An LGBT / MOGAI only social network

[F3d323]

im still confused as to how they'll host a social media platform with 100 dollars
doesnt a social media platform need like lots of stuff and money
iunno

creator is, again, extremely against cisgendered heteroloveuals joining. aka they aren't allowed in.

[Camel]

well i wish they advertised that a bit better

in that case:

We are not excluding you. We are not ruining your spaces to create our own; we are moving out of your spaces and creating our own. We are literally walking away. Stop following us when we ask you not to. We don’t hate you, we just want some damn time for ourselves.

looks like sound logic to me.

[Daswiruch]

yeah so, uh
forget skittlr
ok

LGBT people have taken over tumblr already and this guy wants to divide people even further?

[Katla]

forget skittlr

Didn't you personally say you were homophobic? Shouldn't you be happy that you can't join?

Also, that quote is pretty ridiculous.

[Camel]

yeah so, uh
forget skittlr
ok

once again, you're being too reactionary.

gay people are still a minority. straight are the majority. and we are built on a society founded by straight ideals. want a safe spot for being straight- go anywhere in the world. that's why oppressed people bundle together.

[Daswiruch]

Didn't you personally say you were homophobic?

yeah i am homophobic but that doesn't mean i have anything against the rest of the lgbt peoples
whoops fixed that
