RU Supreme Court Declares LGBTQ Activism "Extremist"

[The German Crown]

Huh.

On one hand, from a moral standpoint, I commend them.

On the other hand, this is probably not the best move politically.

Agreed

[Burnt Calculators]

Huh.

Agreed

If anything, it will only create more enemies.

[Second Dimetrodon Empire]

"Moral standpoint"

I mean, I'm not going to force my morals on anyone else, so I don't see why you should be so bothered. This really does seem like a rather dumb idea on Russia's part.

That's what Russia is doing. Even advocating for rights is going to be banned, and discriminatory legislation has already been enacted.

That's what you expressed support for. Don't pretend you didn't.

Might make muslim countries like them slightly more

No, not really. I don't think anyone should be persecuted for being gay.

But you know what? You can just go on thinking I'm a horrible person, and I will be just fine with that.

I get the fascist accounts saying this but not you too...

[Second Dimetrodon Empire]

That's what she and many people believe in Floof.

She did not expect to get pushback, hence why she felt comfortable saying it.

You know what? It was the wrong thing to say. I'll admit that. Now, I'd rather people didn't take that out of context to prove that I'm a fascist.

But: my morals are different from everyone else's morals, and while I may personally disagree with something, I'm not really going to put up a big fuss about it (unless you start screaming "FASCIST!!!").

I get that. I just expected her not to commend persecution especially after arguably one of the biggest parts of me and hers religious history is religious persecution.

Don't worry. I won't call you fascist because I won't put an ideology on you unless you say it yourself. (Or if it's blatantly obvious)

I don't commend persecution, but if it's what makes you feel better then... :shrug:

It was worded wrong. I wish I hadn't said it. But you can dog on me all you want, if it makes you feel virtuous.


Also, I did expect pushback. You are making assumptions, and incorrect ones at that.

Fascist or not, you have abhorrent positions.

Saying it is the wrong thing to say does not take it back. It is your belief, one you didn't expect to be called out on.

What, then, is my belief?

You clearly want discrimination to be tolerated, while punishing those who oppose it.

I didn't realise that you "didn't mean it" until after I said that. And the only happening because of this law is persecution so it's an indirect support whether your meant it or not.

No, I don't think so.

I suppose half the problem was that I did not know the full extent of the new Russian law (and still don't). Persecution is horrible - like you said, I would know.

[Juristonia]

I gave more insight when I edited my reply

Not much insight is to be had with your position.

The insight is literally just them hating trans people
It's basic edgy teen bigotry that they're weirdly proud of.

[The German Crown]

so is the argument ending now or...

[Juristonia]

There was never an argument to be had here.

[The German Crown]

I was talking about the agruement with the christmas furry, the burning calculator, and the pride month komodo dragon thingy

thinking your other gender is a mental illness and they are to stupid to accept it.

I hate how they are so ignorant

and just to be a smart ass
Edgy in slang means- Cool by virtue of being tough, dark, or badass
I am not any of these characteristics

you're actually kind of funny. this is good shitposting, take notes.

[Kalaron]

Huh.

On one hand, from a moral standpoint, I commend them.

On the other hand, this is probably not the best move politically.

Well, no. The first issue is that it's monstrous, morally.

Ah, I see, so you came into a thread titled "RU Supreme Court declares LGBTQ Activism "Extremist", and you were like "Oh boy I bet they're morally and ethically going after all the gay people in Russia"?

No, seriously, what do you even support about this law? It's not just that it's a bad position because it makes you look like a fascist, it's a bad position because there's no way to actually justify the law that isn't painfully homophobic.

Nothing, honestly.
