And why's it called homophobia instead of bigotry/oppression? Because back when the word first showed up in the 60s, it was about the fear that someone might think you're gay when you're not.
Then in the 90s, it was more of the "I'm afraid that I might be gay" which became projected forms of disgust and hatred, often on actual gay people. Like in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1996, when this guy took 5 self-proclaimed heterosexual men into a room, fitted them with a device that measured penis circumference, and showed them gay porn. 4 out of the 5 "straight" men had a sexual arousal response. Another reason it's a fear thing: You're afraid of someone sticking his hoohoodilly in your pooper without your consent. That's the #1 reason you stay out of prison, right? Well congratulations! You're now the most sympathetic human to the condition of being a woman in the 21st century! See, you're scared that a man(gay or maybe just prisongay) will treat you like a woman (rape you) and so you're afraid (just like women live every day afraid of every man they know) of these potential rapists (although at least you only have to fear the gay ones, mostly) And finally: It's a phobia because of how emotions work and biochemistry happens in the brain. Hate is a powerful survival response. We hate those who are different from us. Why? Because your ancestors killed or enslaved everyone different from them and you are walking, typing proof of the evolutionary success of that policy. But where does hate come from? When it comes to people, we generally fear those who are different. When we were in caves and people came along with another skin color, speaking another language, dressing differently, eating food that smelled differently, worshiping a different god, even fucking differently, we were afraid. So we killed or enslaved them before they did it to us. Why? Because they threatened to take away everything you love. They might enslave your family. They might force you to eat their stinky food. They might force you to learn their language which sounds goofy as hell. They might make you dress in a hot pink loincloth and slap your ass every time you walk by. They might force you to worship their god or die. Fear is where hate comes from, both as a social expression, or as a biochemical response. I'm going to stick to one or two chemicals though, so this doesn't turn into a 30-page lecture. How about adrenaline? We know fear causes adrenaline response (from the adrenal gland, which lots of living things have or have a version of), and adrenaline has a few effects: *Increased heart rate *increased blood pressure *expanding air passages of the lungs *dilated pupils *redistributing blood to the muscles *altering metabolism to maximize glucose levels in the blood It also makes you more aggressive. Why? Because of fight-or-flight. If you're going to fight, having dilated pupils in the dark might give you the edge over your opponent. And so on for the rest of them; it's all a 41% haste +100 AGI +100 DEX +100 STR +100 ATK buff when cast at max level. We don't get to kill things that often nowadays, so instead we get on so-called "news" networks and talk about stuff like "HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA" and how scary it is because that's how we sell more books and other media for when our troll talkshow finally goes off the air. It's still all rooted in fear: Either the fear that a gay dude is going to stick it in your butt, or a fear that your wife is going to run off with another woman, or the fear that those dreams you're having are real and you're the very thing you made fun of and called "faggy" all through high school. | ||

I'm not going to google all of your posts in the future to see whether they're original thoughts or not; I'll give the benefit of the doubt that I'm talking to someone behind a keyboard, not a team of sitcom writers from a cancelled show. And thank you for agreeing with me on the retarded thing. You call your friends retarded when they're acting in a way that makes them seem inferior, and makes you feel like you need to point it out, because you don't want others thinking that you're inferior in some way. The same as you do when someone standing next to you accidentally touches your hand and you call him a faggot; you don't want him to call you a faggot first. You don't want anyone thinking you're gay. You don't want to be gay. Oh god what if you're gay? Better distract the issue and call him gay first! Enjoy your giggle. | |||

its totally ok that you dont understand anything about it really. Just know if you have ever been hurt by anything, there are people that are hurt so much worse when they hear or see those words. it brings back memories that are so painful. The bullying is so intense that often they kill themselves. their families disown them, their friends abandon them. so when they see your signature when they are trying to talk to people about a fun game that they got to play because they were able to shut out the real world and finally spend time with people in peace, it really hurts them. To know that out there people still hate them, even if the person is joking like your signiture, its funny, there are people there that do think that its not a joke and that really do hate them and spit at them and assault them and throw food at them when they walk the street. It isnt asking much to sympathise with that and to just remove that joke when you arnt with close friends who feel the same in private. Its just a thought to think about. | |||
