No Cause, No Ally

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I play around with the gay trope sometimes around my friends, but in a way that makes it a positive.  That whole "glorious faggot" thing (although I still can't say "faggot" in a non-PD context with any sort of comfort).

Want to watch people have a hilarious mental freakout? Call someone not from PD a Glorious Faggot, and mean it. You do have to choose your audience wisely, but the expressions on people's faces when you use "faggot" as a lauding term are HILARIOUS. "He said a bad thing! But wait... he meant it as a compliment... SO CONFUSED."

I often have to be very careful with that, though, because saying "faggot" in the company I keep is a lot like a white guy saying "nigger" during Showtime at the Apollo.

A thought: seems like part of the reason this particular debate keeps going on and on despite the repeated shitstorms and thread drift is that everyone involved acknowledges the topic as important and actionable. In fact, even a few people who were not initially involved seem to me to have gotten more involved for this reason (ECH, Cain?).

Unlike topics like anarchism and libertarianism which are kinda pie-in-the-sky anyway, this has all been about how we individually comport ourselves in our everyday lives, and like it or not, there appear to be different views on this.

I can get behind that.
