Gender-fluid here. I'm gonna have to see this. Fuck the boycott.
I'm too distracted by the addition of the Q to LGBT. It seems unnecessary
[QUOTE=DylanWilson;49183905]I'm too distracted by the addition of the Q to LGBT. It seems unnecessary[/QUOTE] I disagree really, Q covers everything else, such as: Gender-Fluid, Asexual, Transexual (different from Transgender) Transvestite, and everything related. At least that is one version of it....

It's redundant and when people talk about adding more letters it makes it increasingly silly looking
[QUOTE=_Axel;49184956]Why not just call it Q at this point then?[/QUOTE] I dunno. I think QQ might be more appropriate at this point.

wowe lgbt means lesbo gay bi and trans I thought it meant Lettuce Guacamole Bacon and Tomatoes [editline]25th November 2015[/editline] In all seriousness though why did they feel the need to add more letters

To include those who aren't entirely sure what's going on in their lives sexuality wise and are trying to make sense of it all. It's not some ridiculous thing designed to "encourage special snowflakes" or whatever. The absurdly long ones with like twenty other letters on the end? Nobody seems to know what's up with that shit other than it mostly comes from fringe Internet groups (so, slightly crazy people as a rule of thumb).

I guess that would be covered under the "Other"? If I added those two, the next stage would be LGBTQIAGeO+.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;49154547]That's really not comparable to actual blackface. That's someone who has had their makeup done tastefully to look black. Actual blackface is a massive exaggeration of racial traits that mostly takes the piss out of them "haha look at their funny big lips haha their skin is dark arent we funny hahaha".[/QUOTE] Blacks do have big lips and dark skin. Or is it gigantic cocks and white skin? Fuck, is it curly hair and fancy shampoo? I don't think I understand what blackface is anymore, because apparently it isn't other races portraying themselves as black. Tropic Thunder was MASSIVELY degrading to blacks, and retards. You're a fucking racist for trying to normalize such problematic behavior. I hope you are disgusted with yourself.
Bringing back the point of whats on and off limits for humor, I think there is absolutely a line at which things go too far. To say that nothing is off limits is insensitive and childish. Jokes that come at the expense of any person or group of people should [I]usually[/I] not be made disregarding special circumstance.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;49188942]Almost all jokes are at the expense of someone.[/QUOTE] I just wanted to stress the truth of this. Essentially all jokes are either at the expense of a specific person or some general group of people.
