User blog comment:EvergeenMapping/Homophobia in the community./@comment-24660975-20150824104910

OK. So let’s see…. Hmm… homophobia in the community, you say? I don’t see why this is surprising. In fact it was expected, since there are many different people here. It’s called statistics. There could be 1,2,3,4… homophobes in here. Also we could be all of us homophobes or none of us, as well. There goes my first point.

Now the other point is obviously religion, the mother of all evils, the industry that forces us to believe “crap”. Well, to start of, I am an Orthodox Christian (a proud one) and through my whole life no one told me that God hates the gays, or that being gay is a sin. In my Religion Class I wasn’t taught that homosexuality is against the Word of God. If God hated the gay beings He wouldn’t have created the bats, the animals with the most gay individuals than any other being out there. Literally, look it up. Personally, I believe that many people turn to atheism because they want to go against the will of church. Homophobia is one more reason.

Now to the “freedom of speech and expression” thingy: Of course the freedom of speech exists and shall exist, especially on the Internet. No one shall be kicked or blocked because of his/her ideas and views. It is ridiculous to say, for instance, that the user X must be banned because he is a Nazi and Nazism offends the users A,B,C,D and R. In the same way if there were users that are offended of COMMUNISM and SOCIALISM, every communist page should be deleted and users with communist avatar should be warned or banned. Personally I find some of the wiki rules ri-di-cu-lous. With all respect.

''“If you create a page  that is in any way atleast one of the following: ''

 

''Obscene ''

''Pornographic ''

''Abusive ''

''Offensive ''

''Profane ''

''Violates any law or right of any third party ''

''Contains homophobia ''

''Contains ethnic slurs ''

''Contains religious intolerance ''

''Encourages criminal conduct ''

''it is against the ToU and can be removed immediately if someone asks or an admin decides that the page can not exist due to breaking the ToU.” ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Not only you equalize ethnic slurs with calling a gay person “fag” but you want to censor those who are against the whole homosexual-tolerance thingy. In France they tried to censor anti-gay threads on Twitter. Like this would stop the homophobes from expressing themselves. This is like arresting a man for just being communist or nationalist and talking about its beliefs in public. COME ON HUMANITY!!!

<p class="MsoNormal">P.S: I saw you were talking about the swastika. Well the swastika is another controversial symbol, because, although it is connected with Hitler’s Nazi Movement, it remains a religious symbol of Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
