Forcing things like what? The idea that it’s ok for people to be gay?
I think there’s a pretty big difference between teaching kids to understand/respect same-sex relationships, and actively urging them to couple up/be someone’s Valentine etcNo, more the forcing things like that (gay or not) on young kids. Hence the point about Valentines Cards from their parents.
I assume you’ve spoken to LGBT people to warn them that their message is being hijacked this way? How do you think they’ll react?
It’s also one of the oldest tropes in the book used to perpetuate homophobia, but you go right ahead and give Marty and co some more ammo to shout into the Twitter void.TBF pedos trying to latch onto LGBT issues is hardly news. Happened with PIE in the first wave of gay and lesbian acceptance and seems to be happening again with trans and particularly kink in modern LGBT activism. But I’d think people are wise to it and I’ve seen no evidence it’s making anything like the headway it did in the 70s.

Eating chocolate eggs to celebrate the death/resurrection of the son of the big bossman in the sky will be next.How it's now a thing that people buy their kids Valentine's Day shit. It's weird.
I’m not sure what you think I’m pretending doesn’t exist. But if you want to believe you’re helping educate against discrimination by saying “conflating homosexuality with paedophilia is legitimate, actually” then that’s obviously your choice. Don’t be surprised if disingenuous people take your fact-checking and run with it in directions you likely don’t want to go.I don’t choose what I say with concern to whether bigots will misuse it TBH. I’d argue pretending things that are happening aren’t also gives them ammo.
You’ve got to police your own borders, same as antisemitism on the left. Being aware of the dangerous fringes of your own movement keeps that movement strong. Look at the fallout from PIE in the 70s, or Rotherham, or AS, or supporting despots because they’re anti west/capitalist. I don’t think pretending there’s not sometimes failures in progressive movements does anything but give ammo to be honest.
There’s a significant amount of gay and lesbian people who don’t like it either precisely because it enables those stereotypes.

What’s this? People flying drones over matches?These people flying drones and then putting them on tik tok or whatever, it’s about time the football clubs got a drone each that can fly behind them and swallow them like a bond movie and then not return them and say we didn’t see any drone now fuck off idiot.

Thanks. Must’ve missed that.Southampton v Aston Villa: Play suspended before half-time because of drone inside stadium
Southampton's Premier League match with Aston Villa is suspended just before half-time after a drone is spotted inside St Mary's.www.bbc.co.uk
the commentator also said this wasn't the first game to be stopped because of a droneThanks. Must’ve missed that.
Once Michael Owen starts droning on, the game should be abandoned.the commentator also said this wasn't the first game to be stopped because of a drone
I don't care whether it is manufactured or not - just the terms annoy the hell out of me!!Limbs/Scenes
Manufactured crap for photo opportunities
I don't care whether it is manufactured or not - just the terms annoy the hell out of me!!
And the chucking of pints in the air in fan zones, etc .... WTAF?
Yeah i get it. Let's expand that to everyone filming every event they ever go to so they can get more "likes" on their social media, rather than living in the moment and enjoying it live.Yeh the terms are cringeworthy but it’s the artificial nature of it that is worse. “ hey everyone let’s show everybody how passionate we are, cameras ready?”
Despite the odd people who turn up at BoxPark etc, the pint chucking thing is sometimes legit….it’s hard to properly lose your shit at a goal and carry a pint at the same time without looking like a twat. Sometimes the pint has to be sacrificed….I don't care whether it is manufactured or not - just the terms annoy the hell out of me!!

I know that feeling - mine does it every day at 4am without fail.My body clock waking me up at 5am every morning lately.
Truly despicable. Hopefully the "publicity" they are getting on Twitter raises their outrageous profile to the extent that anyone mad enough to be a customer feels regret for that decision and they desert them to the extent that they get put out of business!

job done really. these things don't happen by accident. how many people even knew this company existed before this kicked off?I'd be more likely to remember and use them.
I think they have had edgy adverts before as I recognised the name.job done really. these things don't happen by accident. how many people even knew this company existed before this kicked off?
To be honest I did too but on reflection I don’t think I’d be laughing if my gran was one of his victimsI thought it was funny to be honest. I'd be more likely to remember and use them.
Talk about an over the top reaction.
Each to their own, i guess. I never knew they existed before but i'll certainly make sure to avoid them now i know they do.job done really. these things don't happen by accident. how many people even knew this company existed before this kicked off?
