Las Vegas ads target gays - and insults actual relationships and normal couples... | |

I'm not the kind of person who has issues with gay people, I got my woman and I don't give a fuck what everyone else does for their pleasure, keep it out of my face and I'll keep my sexuality out of yours, that's my view. BUT these ads actually kinda pissed me off, portraying straight people as weird ass squares who seem to have traveled forward in time from the 50s or something. Like we're backwards or something... But then I saw the text at the bottom of the ads... it's a campaign aimed at package holidays for gay couples, so for a second I was like "oh... fuck it, I guess it makes sense so." BUT then I thought, no it's still not fucking okay. First of all if you want equality then why target specific orientations like that. Imagine the uproar if these ads were based on race instead of sexual orientation eh? "Even crackers are welcome!" People would flip the fuck out, front page news baby. If the ads were even just reversed and a bunch of straight couples were partying down and a gay couple was shown being FLAMING stereotype style in the middle of them and the text read "everyone is welcome... even gay people." The pc shit would hit the fan. Of course deep down I know the real reason I'm pissed is because I'm straight and these ads are poking fun at my sexual orientation, my group, my section of society... but does that make my being pissed any less valid? I'm kinda sick of being the only group that's allowed to have the piss ripped out of it, white straight male... fair game. Yeah... so much for equality. 'Magically Delicious' |
Lucky Charms User ID: 32766347 Ireland 01/22/2013 12:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This will only lead to more obscene things becoming accepted, such as pedophilia and beastiality. Quoting: Brad Daylight So naturally, as time progresses, pedophiles will come out of the woodwork and begin their campaigns to "be accepted like homosexuals", soon after bestiality will take it's turn. This is what's known as an informal fallacy, specifically you're using the old "slippery slope" or "thin end of the wedge" argument, I pointed this out only yesterday to a poster here about the very same subject. It's invalid, here's why. The key words to remember here are "consenting" and "adults". Animals cannot consent. Children are not adults. So the pedos and the beasties can campaign all they like but their chosen "partners" (ugh, more like "targets") can never give legally recognized consent... so they will never get their particular perversion accepted in the same way homosexuality is. I agree with you about the ads being bullshit, but you're employing an argument that is totally without foundation and honesty compels me to point it out.

Yea that is a good point, you are right about that. Maybe someone will shove a tape recorder up the rear end of a horse, with it repeating "PLEASE HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH ME" to get legal consent.

First off, there's a pretty good chance animals enjoy sex... with each other, except maybe for male mantis and various spiders that get their heads eaten off by the female, but who knows. But we don't need some "gayass" scientist to prove that. But enjoy it or not... THEY CAN'T GIVE LEGALLY RECOGNIZED CONSENT TO HUMANS! Secondly, children are biologically undeveloped for procreation... which regardless of the purpose of the sexual act is and should be a prerequisite before the concept of consent even comes into it. Okay? There's no way around it, however you try to paint it, kids and animals are off limits. Jeez from the way some of you argue, you'd think you actually want it to happen...

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32785977 I think you missed the point of my big ranty post. If you didn't read it you missed a great line about crackers. I dislike this culture of retribution against the big bad white straight guy by groups that were previously oppressed by a society I didn't even live in. I never oppressed anybody, I'm barely a few lousy years on this rock. These groups harp on and on about equality but this is not equality, this is merely free reign to wail on me and I don't get to say anything back because a baziliion years ago a bunch of dead people treated another bunch of dead people like shit? So I have to be punished for that? Equality sure, go for it, homosexuals, feminists, race, religion whatever, I'm all for equality... but this turning the tables and inverting the prejudice? No fucking thanks. 'Magically Delicious' |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32785977 Ridiculous.... Being heterosexual is the WAY life works and operates.....Homosexual is non-operational, the World cannot function with homosexuality, it does not need homosexuality for it's survival nor balance, it is far inferior to heterosexuality, and the more the world accepts homosexuality in daily life as something normal, natural and good the more society will stumble, crumble crack and fall into the darkest hole, don't believe it, then I say grad your popcorn sit in your favorite chair and watch what it does to the world...

You will not see these in normal advertisements. Who fucking cares... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21229325 Why is there a gay portion? Is there a straight portion? This is the point. it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't show conservative adults next to attractive, anorexic half naked harlots, then pass the conservatives off as "idiots" or stupid looking.
