That's the shit I like to see. I want to see people encouraged to "whine" about discrimination. If my "whining" about sexism and homophobia is annoying to you...GOOD. If you're the kind of person who wishes that oppressed populations would just shut up and submit quietly, then I'll be only too happy to annoy the crap out of you and generally ruin your day.
Lulz not really about this issue, but if you annoyed me too much and attempted to ruin my day, I'ld just shoot you, hide your body in a swamp, or feed it to pigs, hell throw it in a field durning harvesting. Next time your folks see you it will be in a box of corn flakes lulz. Keep that in mind when dealing with some people.
Eh, I've had worse threats by far.
I've had somebody inform me that he's going to follow me home and "rape me until I'm straight." I've had somebody tell me he will cut open my abdomen and slice out my uterus and then make me eat it. I've had somebody tell me he will "hate fuck" me to death. I've had somebody tell me that they will rape and murder my family. I've had somebody threaten to rape and murder my children (I don't actually have any, but that doesn't stop the crazies).
I used to be pretty scared and bothered by this stuff, particularly given the number of people I know who have been physically assaulted, raped, or (in one very sad case) killed for standing up for their beliefs.
But the thing is, I get some of these threats even when I'm not standing up for anything. Just for existing, for being a female person, I get threats and harassment. Just for existing as a queer person, I get threats and harassment. So since I'm going to have crazy hateful sickos threatening to rape and murder me no matter what, I really don't see any point in being quiet.
You can thank your fellow bigots for that, I guess.
