A mod for LGBT issues?

by **DoomYoshi** on Tue Jul 26, 2016 4:23 am

2 votes for Yes. I'd say we make strange bedfellows symmetry.

Well, there's the kind of obvious stuff where even using the word "gay" could get you banned, and still gets you added punishment

I guess I'd like to see a forum here where being open is OK.

This makes no sense to me whatsoever. I have been told time and again how you have championed the legalisation of GAY on cc. I have read your numerous posts where you take credit for staring down the evil mods and forcing them to be more accepting and allowing the use of the word "gay".

Now you tell me it ain't so.

Is Symmetry a fraud?

I am confused. I am at a loss now. I almost feel like tearing down my Symmetry posters, such is my disillusionment.

Oh for fucks sake!!

That one vote that has been there for a couple of days really bothered me, but I could kind of move past it knowing that it was probably Syms.

BUT TWO VOTES???

I'm sure that the 2nd vote is syms multi.

He's essentially a lobbyist, and he's going to hammer this point regardless of what's happening. The whole idea of suggesting someone be a particular mod for a particular cause on a gaming site is completely laughable. This isn't a government, where we need to have a level of bureaucracy for ever literal thing you can think of. So no, I dismiss entirely the idea that if a thing is brought up, it must be an issue - sometimes you have to look at who's doing the complaining.

I don't know him though, apart from seeing him a few times in the chat room. I know he was in trouble with mods before too, but can't even remember why. I did not at any point agree with him and the ridiculous idea of a mod for LGBT issues

. Just said that there must be an issue (around bigotry) for someone to feel this strongly about it. I don't like bigotry of any kind myself and it has no place on any forum. IF it was happening, it should be looked into and stamped out. But... I also think it's up to people to report these things when they see them. Mods aren't all seeing, all knowing.

Having read this thread over, I've kinda come to the conclusion that Symmetry hasn't been targeted, and that it's a non-issue.

a good post, Shannon - thx. I disagree with you that sym isn't a target, however. I think he DOES have a target on his back, but not for claiming to be a homo, but because he's arguably the biggest troll on the forums right now. he is his own worst enemy, whether he chooses to believe it or not. IMO, all the flak he receives is well earned and what's more, he knows this. he doesn't even play the game, ffs. his sole reason for being here is to troll and cause strife, that's about it. boy, this thread this thread could sure use some turbonegro right about now...
"hobbit motherfuckers", anyone?

Now I am curious to find out what an Ass Cobra actually is. This does seem like perhaps the right thread for it, so if anyone knows I would appreciate it.

A google search only brought up the Wikipedia page which refers to the album only. There is no Ass Cobra disambiguation page.

Urban Dictionary has a definition but often they are just some idiot making stuff up, so I dont believe it.

by **BrutalBob** on Wed Jul 27, 2016 1:03 am

Oh the wikipedia page for the album tells you waht it means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ass_Cobra

Not as interesting as I thought

I would like to protest the methodology used in this poll. Where was the - Yes, must be a gay cute kitten mod.
Every sane, and insane member would have voted for that. Cute, gay, junior pussy, in power, mwwwwaaaahaaaahaaaaa. Mweeeeooooow

Amen.

It has nothing to do with LGBT. It has everything to do with the fact that there is a collective dislike of Sym on these boards.

ooc, sym : of the 6700 active members left here, how many of them do you think are lgbt? best guess.

One

by **riskllama** on Wed Jul 27, 2016 6:54 pm

my guess is 12, including sym. And of those 12, 3 have poked their head into the forums... :-s

best guess.

Statistically I believe it's around 4%, so you'd have 268 out of 6700

by **riskllama** on Wed Jul 27, 2016 7:33 pm

way too high, IP. i bet it's not even close to that.

Who cares? I know, I know, you'll reply that Symmetry does, and that's fine. But the rest of us? I for one don't.

It could be all 6700 and I'd be happy. It could be 0 and I'd be happy.

It's an irrelevant question to me at least.

by **riskllama** on Wed Jul 27, 2016 7:49 pm

i am genuinely curious as to what his # would be, that's all.

I really don't care what anyone's sexual orientation is, what anyone's religion is, what anyone's ethnicity is. I'm here for the forums, and those things are meaningless to me. All that I ask is don't consistently be a dumbass, regardless of who you're praying to or screwing or what your skin color is.

Yup. The only thing I'll hold against anyone is being a red wings fan

I don't even know what sport red wings play, but they would be no match for my mighty West Coast Eagles

but seriously

CC does not discriminate in anyway, shape or form. I don't care what your political views are, who you support, what religion you are, or even if you are from another planet. All we ask is you respect EVERYONE else while on this site.

A bunch of meanies in these forums. Can I get a mod for disenfranchised Wings fans?

Only if you are referring to the band.
