View Full Version : Homophobia is as bad as racism...

I do not think that people who are homophobic are getting the punishments they deserve, it is just as bad as racism yet the MODs seem to let it slide...
I think they should be infraction or at least warned for each incident
Edited by ---MAD--- (General Manager): Thread locked as it is dragging now. Any insults towards sexuality/beliefs/culture/skin colour etc are all taken seriously and always have been.

I lol at people who judge you becasue your gay :rolleyes:
No offence ;)
i wouldn't say it's as bad as racism personally, although if racism was taken how it should be, not as serious then yeah it would be.. (that probably don't make sense but it does in my mind)
but i do agree with you to a certain extent

I dont see much of this around the Forum if I'm honest. Sure, there is alot of "your gay" comments, but from personal experience that's just the way that teenagers go about insulting each other lightly.
If you see it to an extent that offends you, just report it. We look into all the reports and take action if we feel needs be. (Alternatively, PM any Mod/SMod)

I think you're saying racism has been blown out of proportion. I'd have to agree with you there, its the events such as WWII which have made people take it as seriously as it is now.
I think homophobia is bad obviously, and the mods should deal with any homophobia reported. If you report a post and it hasnt been dealt with within 24hrs, PM Mad or Adzeh about it and ask him to look into it, because someone obviously hasnt been doing their job right.

In a way, they are the same because your insulting someone because of what they are, and that goes both to racism and homophobic comments, so they should be punished both the same.

Again, as I stated in my post, if anyone is offended by something which is written, in the rules or not, action will likely be taken. HabboxForum is a place for users of all ages, gender, sexuality and race - Not for one type of person to be "beaten" againest.

Your gay, thats gay, its just another teenage insult.. that is used to insult lightly.. you shouldn't take offense to things like that.
If someone said something like "I hate you because your gay", thats bad. Or "don't talk to me because your gay/stay away from me"

I think the reason is self-explanitory.
Gay isn't an insult. It's a sexuality.

INCORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If someone called me "gay" I take that as an insult!
Everyone has different views but "gay" has a double meaning so basically it depends on how that person takes it!?

Nooo, the insult part of that is whatever is starred, but the gay part is just the subject. It's like me saying "you ******* cat" or "you're a ******** homosexual." Homosexual isn't insulting, yet the '********' part makes it insulting.

Its because of the society we live in. As far as homophobia goes.
"You gay, you must be a loser...because you're gay, go do a guy" is extremely innapropriate and should be infracted under rudeness.
"I am uncomfortable with gay people" is not necessarily an attack on someone, and technically is a statement of opinion. While I don't agree with it, I have no right to suppress the opinion of another.
Racism has been blown out of proportion due to extreme racism in the past, therefore we are much more sensitive to it now. If we began burning homosexuals and having mass shootings of homosexuals (yes, I am aware of how terrible that is, and hope it never comes to that) then 20 years down the road, I'm fairly certain that "I am uncomfortable with gay people" would become an offensive statement. Its all about the historical context.

I for one do not believe in a man shall marry another man or even have a relationship with another man yet I nor anyone really else on this forum is taking this matter over the top, as a gay man yourself, you really don't need to go around telling everyone ''IM GAY LETS HAVE A ****'' because thats completely imature, you've expressed your gayness like its a achievement. and do not in no way put homophobic to racism because you have no idea on what the black men and women and children were put through on the days of slavery and freedom of expression towards mixed race.

I think its a bit extreme to go as far as saying Homophobia is as bad as racism. Although Im against homophobia, I think in our society racism is a lot worse for so many reasons. And I only mean racism on a forum is a lot worse than homophobia on a forum. In reality, I could have a vague idea of where you're coming from.

How exactly is it different? especially in the context of a forum.
1) A group of people who are born a certain way are targeted?
2) People have no control over there sexuality in the same way they have no control over there race.
3) The group is discriminated against and there are many derogatory terms for them?
I fail to see the difference here, both seem very much the same. Would someone care to try and enlighten me here?
> Note - Im actually an advocate of true free speech so i support the right or any individual to say anything under the sun at any time in any context. quoting Voltaire "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it"
Limiting speech in my opinion is simply the act of sweeping the problem under the carpet. Rather than solve the issue, its simply trying to cover it up. Unless such issues are opened up for proper discussion and debate these faults within are social ideology simply fester rather then being argued out to the truth of the matter.

I agree with you, you are born black/white/mixed as you are born homophobic/hetrosexual.
It's not your fault if you are gay, but yet they are discriminated.
And on a forum its worse because the people who are saying it are just cowards. Its ok not to like them, its your own opinion, but you shouldn't bully people, its just out of order.

Thats very much wrong, people choose to be gay/straght, if a gay man wanted to sleep with a women they can do so, but a black/white/mixed wanted to be different then they cannot yes even if michael jackson did try to become white he very much failed.

Me and my best friends are like "lesbiens!" lol Well we joke around.
But so do most "cool" people in our year

and micheal jackson didn't try to "become" white, he suffered from the disease vitiligo.
