Don't take the forum too seriously, Suity. I'm f**king joking. I for the record have no problem with the gay and lesbian community. Been around for years. I get it. However nobody can convince me with this them/they horse shit. Man/woman. Two choices. The end.

Anyway I'm proud to be an alpha male. I'm proud that my son is too. He showed me this video the other day. Some parts resonated with me.


How can I not take the forum seriously mate when there are so many offensive homophobic and anti- LGBTI comments posted here?
Yes, I can ignore them, which I generally do. More than you would even know.
But it shouldn't stop me posting my thoughts about those comments.
Alternatively, I could just walk away considering what a shit show this joint has become.
As for your video - I generally do not watch stuff like that. In this case, I did. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I watched it in full.
If that video makes you feel better and more masculine and comfortable in your own skin, all power to you.
I thought it was a complete wank tbh.

The bits with Arnie, Bruce Lee and James Bond was cool. The softcocks/misfits in the beginning made me laugh.

Simon Baker the actor who played the Mentalist is at the Tennis they keep going to in crowd.

Fun fact he is a parramatta eels fan.

We saw him one day in the field club at commbank about 3 or 4 years ago with his parra scarf on with his kids.

To play devils advocate...

This forum where you never expected to encounter so called homophobia or lgbt-whatever letter you need-phobia.... -
Was it ever advertised as being a safe space for those minorities?

if not, then I say suck it up and /or log out.

and I say this not targeted at you or anyone in particular. This is a public forum where I'm sure I could easily feel like my minority views are trampled on (whatever they may be).... But if I felt like that, I'd just leave....

Or you could be the ultimate softcock and put people on ignore and publicly announce it.

Can you explain this thinking in more detail, please.
Who is attempting the divide, and why are they doing it?
The corporate-bureaucratic ('middle') class is doing the dividing, and the reason is essentially to further entrench the status quo. Obviously the complicity of big business is a relatively recent phenomenon. The Occupy movement terrified them, and so the disgruntled young white grads and the various ethnic elites were pried away with promises of a seat at the table. Meanwhile the bulk of the working class were left to their opioids and communal breakdown.

I appreciate your "devils advocate" post. All good.
I like being here. I always like reading the more learned posts which are rare but worthwhile reading. Those posts are becoming even rarer these days sadly.
What I do is generally ignore the bigger f**kwits who post shit. Hence why I do not ever reply to the trolls who get off on winding people up. We all know who they are.
However, on the rare occasion when something I find offensive is posted, I will call it out and have an opinion on it.
As you said, it's a public forum. I have as much right to oppose those views as those who propose them.
If I find some views offensive, I will choose when to let them go, and when I will rise up against them.
Just like everyone else can have an opinion and say whatever they want, whenever they can, within the rules of the forum.

And seriously, what have you got against preschool graduations?
I can't wrap my head around it. Seems a silly thing to get cranky about.
Perhaps his lived experience means that it makes him feel unsafe? That's a good enough reason to cancel anything these days.

You can say nearly anything you want on these forums. Just can’t meet at the aquarium. That’s serious shit.
