Why do some LGBT folks feel the need to drag it into everything?

Dude was going off about LGBT people and that if only we all were just like Neil Patrick Harris then LGBT people would be tolerable. I didn't drag anyone into anything.

Why do some people ignore all context for some sort of "gotcha" moment?

Every comedic thread in every forum. It always randomly get serious, the consistency is incredible.

Shoutout to all the bros, I hope you're all having a wonderful day.

they don't exist unless the topic is about the community, only then they'll act up
if you want a thread deleted, either push the discussion in that direction or get your FC to mass report every post, both work

They are quick to delete threads with spoilers in the title, as well.

Look,

I'm gay and I unironically understand your struggles, particularly when you said people don't understand. There is too often no mutual recognition.

But the forums are the last place to debate this, not because I think game forums should only be for games (that's a self-serving argument for people to cherrypick topics that they like). It's that it doesn't encourage mutual recognition, nor does it reward existential authenticity.

You can either be a Stoic and retreat inwards, or you can live authentically and assert your self-being externally, in the real world. But the forums, really?

It's not that there's a time and place for everything. I'm not about useless platitudes like those. It's that it is completely pointless to talk about anything seriously to 99% of humanity. For my part, the LGBT threads that someone made over the years have convinced me that the termites are never gone, they've just retreated into the core, the collective unconscious, with polite society as the bastion to ward themselves with.

Knowing this, why do you care? Who do you seek to change? On the forums no less? Direct your energy at something more worthwhile.
