Or perhaps it's just an attempt from straight men to not have to confront the fact that what they say is harmful.
Again, it's easy to say that I'm creating a straw man, but the facts are thus.
The OP said:
- My games of Catan work because we don't talk about things.
- Social media is bad because I have to confront the fact that I will disagree with people on things.
- These things that I will disagree with my Catan buddies on should either be "agree to disagree" matters or matters that don't get discussed.
- LGBTQ+ issues were one of the examples of such topics. Neither option is acceptable for LGBTQ+ people.
No examples of what sort of "LGBTQ+ political topics" either of you might mean have been given and yet I, the one providing examples and countering them, am the one creating the straw man?
All I can say is that, once again, you need to listen to the people affected when they say that what is said is harmful and stop acting like the LGBTQ+ people are the problem for telling you that it is, in fact, harmful.
EDIT: You're also defending a man who actively tried to justify using a slur. Doesn't reflect well on you, does it?
- CRConrad 5y ago> and yet I, the one providing examples and countering them, am the one creating the straw man? Yes, countering "examples" one has oneself provided is AFAIK pretty much the definition of "straw man".
