Omg someone added this picture in instagram im so mad

Are these kind of things allowed there?

 

Here is my personal opinion. All though I understand that it is painful and upsetting. I too suffer from the fact that I am Pangender. However, at the same time I believe no matter all parts of you are open to criticism in humor. Personally, I find that image humorous it cracked a smile from me. I laugh at aethism jokes despite being an aethist. I find the best thing to do is find the humor in the slightest things. As I said my viewpoint is not of the masses and I may get a lot of hate for this. But I don't really see it as that offensive. Learn to take the joke, shrug it off and move on.

 

I think everyone everyone, gays, lesbians, genderqueer, pangender, blacks, cristian, muslism, aethist, etc. Is under the scrutiny of humor. Negative or positive. It's a freedom of expression that we cannot take from people.

 

OMG!! Those people are so immature! We are all human beings!

So there is no reason why that person did that!

 

These sorts of things make me mad as hell too!!!! :tantrum::tantrum:
I fully agree with you, on everything you have said here!
I can also handle a lot of crap from people, and just society in general; with all the degrading things they say, post, and do, to make everything even more miserable and difficult for us gays and lesbians. But these sorts of things just cross the line with me, and they make me really angry! :***:

 

yes we can.

 

I sort of agree.

I mean, it's not like the one who made or posted this is necessarily homophobic him or herself. They just posted a picture that depicts a homophobic dad, in kind of a funny way, really.

 

Sometimes, humor is the only way to blanket the truth. Becuase if someone said something outright, that person would be scrutinized themselves. The Daily Show is the perfect example of using humor to give truth in a dosage people can take it as. English is an ambigous language. You could take the joke from the negative side, that there father is negatively critcizing his child for being a faggot. Or you can take the joke from another aspect, that the father openly accepts his child for being gay and is just asking him to not lie on the reasons why he is actually crying. My dad doesn't care if someone is LGBT, but he still says things as "he has some sugar in his tank". Which I find rather humorous. Just because I am LGBTARB [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, robot, alien, beastility] friendly doesn't mean that I can't laugh at jokes or laugh at things about said subjects.

 

yup. they used to mock blacks...oh wait the had another name...darkies! No, it was just in fun, right? Not fun. it incited some to more violence and personal disrespect.

if you saw the mocking of NYC mayoral interpreter for deaf during the hurricane, it shocked and appalled our community. oh, just laugh, it is only for fun. no, we have been oppressed and our language was not and IS STILL NOT considered a real language and respected by many. it is dangerous.

so, should i say jokes now about faggots? is it funnier and okay? I never liked the girls at church saying that is so gay...oh they claimed it is okay it is spelled geh. Bullshit, you can't see what you say...it is to say something bad or gross is same as a male homosexual and you know it! and i was a very conservative not-pro-gay person...and never made fun of gays. It is not funny. i got great humor...stuff like that is not cool.

freedom of speech yes is protected...this however should not be tolerated. simple...whoever makes it and posts it, you block and unfreind etc...they will get the message if they lose all friends for it.

 

A joke or a picture like this is how you perceive it.

Perception is your reality.

@Blind Deaf: I am a creative individual. I write horror novels and have lived a long life of being censored. Because people took my freedom of expression away. Expression is not a problem. Actions have consequences. And that's why we shouldn't take someone's expression away. Because what you express still has consequences to them.

 

Agreed. I make gay jokes, my friends make gay jokes, my gay friends make gay jokes. That's why it's called a joke. Now I agree if my dad told me you've been crying because you're a faggot, then that's downright insulting, and yes I would be offended by that and wouldn't think it was funny. But this is a picture; it depicts something. It's not actually happening. The idiocy of it is what makes it funny.

 

Agreed. And so elogantly more put than me. ahaha.

 

tbh i'd rather have no freedom of speech & not have to put up w/ shitty 'jokes' like this.

 

i agree with MidnightOwl, just take things in stride and move on. it frustrates me sometimes to see stuff like this, but getting all bent out of shape over it is no good. some people's humor is offensive, daniel tosh, chappelle, etc. but like MidnightOwl said, it's all in their freedom of speech.
if they went directly to a homosexual and called them a fag and told them to kill themselves, well, there's a problem.
i dunno. i don't let things like this bother me.
i have been called a fag to my face by a complete stranger but it doesnt really bother me. jokes on them. come any closer and try to harm me and you'll be sore for days. but otherwise, i just don't care.
maybe im just really apathetic about it, but, idk. it's irrelevant to me

 

It only bothers you because you let it bother you. Who gives a shit? It's a caricature that some morbidly obese, sweaty teenage troll that spends most of his life on his computer probably made with nothing else better to do than degrade others to make himself feel better.

The problem is, we do sit and feel sorry for ourselves and give others a reason to believe we do. Just shrug it off, it takes much more than that to offend me.
