They are the biggest phonies out there. They want to exercise their right to mock and joke at the expense of the beliefs of others, their sexuality and race. It’s all on the table for them. But if a comedian tells a joke about them, it’s literally rape in their minds. It’s hate speech that shouldn’t be tolerated.
We know why they wouldn’t mock Islam and why they aren’t afraid to mock Christianity, and they don’t see the irony in that.
Honestly, the last several Spanish government(s) have correctly identified “proclamation of Catalan independence” as a farce perpetuated by middle aged men from privileged backgrounds who’ll fold at the first slighest inconvinience, which actually came to pass.
“Buckhead is a target,” Buckhead City supporter Kelly Rodts complained to the City Committee last month, WRDW reported. “We’re a target for criminals in the city, and Atlanta has not been able to protect us.”
Fairly sure this is one of those pride parades or something similar…
Gay people generally aren’t fond on religion. Historically, homosexuals and religious institutions have clashed.
Probably explains the mockery of christianity here. The reason they wouldn’t mock islam is because islam tends to be far more extreme… no one wants to meet the wrath of islamic extremists
They’d get away with mocking judiasm outside of the United States… but Jews make up 0.1% or so of the worlds population therefore it is not as ‘on the nose’.
There was an episode of south park that wound up actually being censored over threats from islamic terrorist groups. I think it was cartoon wars…
On a side note… not a single gay person I know actually attends events like this. The conduct seen in this video is immature (I envision a really gay frat party as being equitable)… but on the other hand, under 18’s (21 in America I assume) aren’t allowed into these events
This is the case for Australia. Therefore I don’t care. I’ve never been to a drag show, pornographic convention (though I am MORBIDLY curious about this), pride parade etc.
These events hardly register on my radar. Seldom do I see them advertised or promoted in public… only big one here that I know of is sexpo. I’ve never been to sexpo… but my pArEnTs have (could have died happy having never found this out)
I went to a strip club once… not my thing. I could just hire an escort if I wanted to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars… also, pole dancing looks exhausting… I imagine it’d break your body if you had to do that for hours every night.
True, despite the warrants, self-exile and arrests, in the end nothing actually happened to him.
Be as it may, the point I was trying to make was that neither Catalonia nor the Basques are allowed to secede from Spain, just like American states aren’t allowed to secede from the USA.
Edit: Leaving the U.S. now is, as @loppar has pointed out, more like leaving Russia(or USSR). We are watching Putin follow the example set by former American Presidents, in his dealings with Ukraine.
Yes. I agree that they have the right to mock whatever they want, I don’t get offended or hurt by it. The same cannot be said of them as their reaction to Dave Chappelle or anyone who questions their narrative shows us.
With that said, they are free to act like that if they choose but if they expect me, and probably the majority of people out there, to see that and not think they are weirdos, they are wrong. They come off as creepy degenerates and to show I am consistent, I think the same about guys who go watch strippers.
Congrats, you’ve just discovered the reason EU exists.
Russia (Russian SFR) was basically the first Soviet republic to leave the USSR. And yet the claim imperial right over parts of a former country that had twice the population.
The current situation with Russia/Ukraine would be akin to the UK doing a ton of meth and showing up at Canada’s doorstep with a gun and a picture of Queen Victoria. And even in that case the UK would have more legal/historical basis than Russia.
I have never been to a strip club. Never got the deal with it. To me, it’s like going to a restaurant where you can only smell the food placed in front of you, but not actually eat it.
And if you pay extra, they shove your face in the food. But you still can’t eat it.
