Like "I said something really fucked up and homophobic in the past" is a very different statement from "I said something fucked up and homophobic in the past but to be fair he was really annoying and promiscuous"
If people would just back off a bit when I try to say I'm upset... I'm pretty sure I asked for a fokking safeword even though I shouldn't need one. (Dammit, I just head-clutched hard enough to pull something near my collarbone.) None of this BS where if I don't hide my feelings I'm committing some sort of emotional hostage situation. I look over my posts. The only thing I can do is leave it for a couple of months in hopes that I forget what I was thinking about enough to see it like someone outside of my head would see it. Or I can ask for people to cut me some slack and ask for clarification. Even now, people are rejecting what I actually meant with 90's homophobia causing gays to not be in the best of mental health and substituting that I meant the 50's retoric of it being a mental disease.
That is not actually a thing that is happening in this thread. People are explicitly acknowledging that it was not necessarily intended to mirror 50's era homophobia, it was just easy enough to interpret that way to be hurtful and homophobic.
If you're that upset then it seems like it's time for a break. I'll reopen the thread in the morning.
“Joy of joys he didn’t die” reads as extremely sarcastic to me. Reading it as sarcasm leaves me with the impression that you are not happy he is alive because you still currently would prefer him to be dead. Is this not the case? Are you genuinely happy that an old wish was not fulfilled?
Yeah, I suspect that people realizing that I got yelled at for the wrong thing might cause too much splash damage.
No. The post you submitted in response to the question was frankly horrifying. I don't think the concern would be "people realizing that you got yelled at for the wrong thing", except in that your proposed post would have given them several new things to yell at you about.
I don't understand which answer in the multiple choice lines up with what I believe. One of them looks like you accidentally missed a word.
Saying it was wiggled because people would be... upset because they had the wrong idea?? is frankly insulting. Asking it was because of cussing somehow manages to be even more so. That post was horrifying entirely on its own merits. You were warned yesterday that the posts being approved were extremely close to crossing a line. There's a hint.
I can make it even easier for you to give a simple reply: A: I am happy because he still lives B: I am unhappy because he still livesYou can respond to this post with either the letter A or B. If you feel it needs a more in depth explanation that can take place in a desperate post.
