A member of a cult is victim (who might be participating in their own victimization), a pedophile is a predator. I see a big difference.
There are openly white supremacist groups and Nazi groups making headlines; should we shy away from actively identifying them? When a person gets indicted in four separate jurisdictions, and their support increases, is that not cult-like behavior? I agree with you that calling large groups murderers, stupid, or uneducated is inappropriate.
In past, you have painted everyone with a broad brush, for example, when you hold me to task for the excesses of posters like The Thriller. Perhaps if you respond to each poster as the person they are, instead of thinking of us all as a monolithic bloc, you can have the respectful conversations you claim to want, and ignore the people who are not respectful.
Said person has been banned multiple times over the past few years, just like you have.
Again, I would say calling people pedophiles or saying they support child mutilation is worse.
People who sincerely post transphobic content are transphobic.
I have yet to read such a person on this board.
Has anyone claimed this is OK outside of a locker room or similar situation?
This is an example of trying to emotionally load an argument. I agree flashing, per se, is wrong. Existing is not wrong. If you are working around the house, and you take off clothes for comfort or to avoid damaging them, that is not flashing.
Too many have been, and I played a part in that. I regret that now.
1. Name calling is name calling. Being called a cultist by you hypocrites is not flattering by any stretch. I don't see difference at all. Being called a transphobe because I think kids should not be mutilated is also pretty messed up. You may not think so as I've said, it's completely ok for you guys to call people terrible things but it's no different. It's an insult and it's meant to bully nothing more. You guys sure can dish the hate yet run to Jason when someone does it back. Unfortunately, if name calling wasn't allowed in the first place and openly embraced because people are Democrats, maybe this place would be a little more tolerant.
2. No but calling someone a white supremacists just to insult them like you guys do is stupid. It's nothing more than a trigger word. There are Nazis and such that deserve to be shunned but calling someone a Nazi due to their political platform like you guys do is extremelty messed up. No worse than pedophile but again it's completely acceptable around here for you all to make such terrible claims yet Republicans get banned.
3. I respond to people in kind. You all have been spewing hatred towards anybody who thinks differently long before I was here. Funny thing is... There hasn't been a single Republican come here and say they feel welcome. It's because you all bully them to submission. Maybe you can explain to me why there are literally no Republicans around here... It's because you all are bullies. I openly admit I push back and will respond in kind but there is a legit reason there is so few Republicans and it's because they are not treated with respect here.
4. Not this time. You would think wishing death on a poster would be a lifetime ban but he didn't even get a slap on the wrist. You are right, he has been banned many times... Once for threatening to kill a President and that's apparently acceptable.
5. It's the same thing. Calling someone a transphobe is every bit as mean and messed up as calling someone a pedophile. You all can rationalize it all you want but it's wrong. It's downright rude, bigoted and just a means to shut people up who disagree with you.
6. Saying that children should wait until they are 18 to make life altering decisions is not transphobic. Saying that bioligacal males should stay in their sports is not transphobe. Bringing up mulitple trans people that have been abused by doctors because they chopped off a childs breast is not transphobe.
7. You guys have consistently said you are ok with chemical castration at a doctors discretion. Lupron is literally a drug that is made to castrate pedophiles that the left is giving to children and teens. We've discussed this a lot and the answer is always "if the doctor says it's ok then it must be". You mean the same doctors that are notorious for prescribing durgs at whatever cost? The doctors that have massive amounts of malpractice? Now it's great to have Doctors but they are not right in everything they do. Common sense says giving children drugs that castrate them is wrong. Not here though,
Chemical castration is the use of drugs to lower the production of hormones in your *********. Learn how it works, and more.

8. You did. Do you not remember when I posted how the bicyclist were out naked exposing themselves(literally indecent exposure) to children and your response was that you see nothing wrong with it because people have undressed in front of kids in locker rooms? That was literally,100%, your position.
9. Same as 8
10. Why do you suppose there are so few Republicans in a board based out of a board that has a lot of Republicans. It's because it is openly allowed to call others transphobes, cultist, racist, Nazis, but when we respond back with pedophile we get banned while the people who give this board money get nothing. Again wishing a painful death on someone is about as bad as it gets and they didn't even get a slap on the wrist. Republicans are not welcome here all while bigotry and calling others cultist is not even adressed.
You all can rationalize your calling someone a cultist, racist, transphobe, Nazi like I have been called all you want but it's wrong and no different than calling people who push sexuality on children. To me that is extremely concerning and wrong. Children do not need sexuality pushed on them. I mean... What else am I supposed to call people who openly advocate sexuality on elementary school children? Just as I feel religion should not be pushed on children I think telling them lies that biological men can be woman and have babies is ****ed up.... I stand 100% by what I've said. Kids do not need to be force fed sexuality. The fact that I even have to say that is insane.
