Has political correctness actually gone mad?

do straights even have enough culture to display on floats?
Of course, just look at literally any stag do.

It'll be just the same as gay pride, but instead of meeting carefree and welcoming people, you get tied you to a lamp post after Shane and the lads dip their cocks in your pint.
 
"We're here! We're drab!"
 
Looks like Germany might be being a bit over-sensitive about potential antisemitism (for obvious reasons) Is that really political correctness though?

Not sure but imposing speech on someone to ensure that a group isn't offended is arguably political correctness gone mad.

Actually, yeah. I guess this does tick the boxes. I’m just inclined to cut Germany a bit of slack on this one. They’re definitely insanely over the top sensitive about antisemitism but you can understand why.

Sure I can understand the German cultural perspective but I can with a lot of the examples highlighted in this thread. Germans aren't alone for having shame in their history.
 
They're trolling their own movement.
 
I feel extremely oppressed as a hetero sexual man. Just the other day I asked a bird to shag me and she said no. Damn lesbians am I right?

What's wrong with people.
 
I've written 3800006 love letters to Gemma Arterton and never had a reply....maybe I should've posted them...anyway, I'm being oppressed.

Typical of our dystopian post masculine **** society. We should be given the love we deserve :mad:
 
How fecking deficient do you have to be to think "rights of straights" is something you have to fight for? You already have all the rights, you absolute weapons!
 
A refrain I’ve heard ad nauseum is “I can’t believe this happened – it’s 2019”. I disagree. This attack and the ensuing media circus are par for the course in 2019. In both my native United States and here in the United Kingdom, it always has been and still is open season on the bodies of (in no specific order) people of colour, indigenous people, transgender people, disabled people, queer people, poor people, women and migrants. I have evaded much of the violence and oppression imposed on so many others by our capitalist, white supremacist, patriarchal system because of the privileges I enjoy by dint of my race, health, education, and conventional gender presentation. That has nothing to do with the merit of my character.

The press coverage, and timely law enforcement response, was not coincidental to our complexions. Neither was the disproportionate online reaction over the victimisation of a pretty brunette and blonde. The commodification and exploitation of my face came at the expense of other victims whose constant persecution apparently does not warrant similar moral outrage.

Make the extraordinary reaction to our attack the norm. I beg you to amplify and channel this energy to hold accountable the intersecting web of elected politicians, government agencies and corporations who have reinforced a status quo of clearly delineated inequality long before this single attack in 2019. Redirect your money from rainbow capitalism to people-of-colour-led organisations striving for justice. I donated to the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, Trans Women of Color Collective and Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund. Question why the photo of two attractive, white cisgender women compelled you to post about Pride for the first time.

A powerful rebuttal to some of the consistent themes that crop up in this thread.
 
That bus altercation was quite an interesting one. Spread across every news site, met police appealing for witnesses on twitter, but not a shred of cctv footage from a 1 month prior attack, or any descriptions of the attackers...

I genuinely can't tell if you're talking about a different bus "altercation"
 
I'm just glad hobbers is here to ask the real questions. How on earth do people forget things after a fight? That's, like, literally unheard off. Getting hit on the head only makes your memory better. And my god, a month for this to go public? How does that even happen, we find out about every single violent crime straight away. It's just impossible, something weird is happening here.
 
Fox ‘News’ Mulder is here to tell us queerbashing is a liberal conspiracy. Someone’s gotta check whether these uppity poofs are lying.... They probably beat themselves up.

the only concrete thing she's right about in that article is that they received more sympathy and attention because they're relatively attractive women.

Bloody attractive women getting all the good hate crime coverage. Who’ll stand up for the ugly abused lesbians!!?

Who thinks likes this?
