Since when is the word trash inappropriate on these forums? Conservatives get called trash all the time without issue. Hell, I get called worse on the daily.


And you should reports these occurances to the mods so they may be dealt with.

Seriously, does anyone think that continuing to debate this in moderation is going to win you points with Reppy given she's already described herself as "Not a happy admin" over this issue?

Parthenon wrote:Trannie is a shortening of transgenders, The term used by members of the very community as illustrated by the numerous usages of LGBT in referencing homosexual issues.

Definitions
monstrosity
2 : the quality or state of being monstrous

monstrous:
5 : deviating greatly from the natural form or character : abnormal

It is not a societal norm for a male to have hair that long, wear earrings, and be decked out in makeup. As such, the term is applicable in referring to deviates.


disgust
1 : to provoke to loathing, repugnance, or aversion : be offensive to
2 : to cause (one) to lose an interest or intention

Both of which are applicable in my usage. Not only did the speaker being a trannie result in me losing interest in the video, it also provoked feelings of aversion.


We also would have accepted "abomination."

An honest inquiry here, I'd just like to know - are the words 'fag' and 'peon' as used by Parthenon here ok on NS? They are both considered as offensive as the 'n' word where I come from.

That is why i asked - different things are offensive in different cultures. Its used here as a derogatory term for immigrant Mexican laborers. Its certainly not a term anyone uses either affectionately or even in a neutral manner.

You seem to be confusing morality with normality. You might find it morally acceptable for someone to behave and dress like that, however, it still deviates from societal norms. Normality is all one big game of statistics, your average person isn't seeing a tranny every time they go for a jog unless they are passing a gay bar on theme night.

So, if 52% of Society happens to be male, than to be other than male would be "abnormal"? After all, the statistics are on their side. At what percentage of the population does one cross from "normal" to "abnormal"?

Whatever someone's gender inclination, it's pointedly their business. They have just as much right to condemn others with different gender just as much as YOU do -- which is to say, "none at all". When you get up on your condemnatory high horse you are pretty much declaring yourself to be the self-appointed High Judge of what is "right" and what is "wrong". And what you are declaring, no matter what words you employ, is that "there is something grossly wrong with you." Well, fine, that's your _opinion_; no need to share it -- UNLESS your intent is to offend someone.

Which seems to be the case here. You weren't address the subject AT ALL; you were simply sharing your opinion on an unrelated subject, whether the audience wanted to see it or not.

The intent was obvious. The consequences should be just as obvious.

I'm pretty sure the dude did the whole lipstick+clip on earrings thing as a joke because people commented on his eariler videos about he looks like a girl. No idea how you could mistake that voice for a woman's anyways.

Or the Adam's apple.

This is Moderation, not a discussion forum.

Also, the thread has been locked and thoroughly reviewed. As much as Parthenon's opinions are VERY unpopular, he is still allowed to express them. This is just one of the many ways one receives "freedom of expression" is our beloved Father Knows Best State.
