is hating homophobes, homophobiaphobia? --- On the topic though, I don't think it needs to be "socially accepted" to be a phobia. There probably is someone in the world who hates straight people. We might as well make a name for it Last edited by Ashley.; 24-09-2015 at 01:50 PM. |

Basically gonna be one of my last posts in this thread, because it's basically just going backwards and forwards now.
I think the main issue is the word 'Heterophobia' which I think is pretty understandable. It makes it sounds like it's a huge issue, which it totally isn't. I don't think one person in this thread has said it. But when I speak of 'Heterophobia' I mean people taking the piss out of straight people, whether they are joking or not, or when someone states that someone can't have an opinion about 'X' because they are straight, or even puts someone down, because they haven't 'had it as badly as them'. I've seen all of these things happen and if it had been the other way around, then people would go crazy. Yeah, some people might have an issue with the word 'heterophobic' but to dismiss this and call it something else like 'false equivalency' or 'prejudice' is just wrong IMO. It makes it seem like it's not as important/insulting. Yeah, I'll 100% agree with those who say it isn't as big of an issue as homophobia... But it still happens. My biggest issue with this is the fact that people believe that different issues stand on different platforms. Which is a thread of it's own I guess. I just view everyone equally and I think there's a point where history doesn't necessarily come into things and it doesn't need to. We've come so far as a world (well, the UK has anyway) and I feel like when people constantly bring up the past, nothing will change. Obviously I'm not saying that we should totes forget how badly gay people have been treated, I'm just saying that there are times where that doesn't matter. I find the results interesting. It's pretty much split in half and some people voted completely differently to what I expected. I'm glad that the second time this was opened, people mostly were able to debate without silly name calling. One of my biggest hates about serious debates is when people think it's okay to laugh or make fun of someones views. It's just an opinion, you don't need to call someone a name for it

See, it's for reasons like this that I have never in 16 years of regular forum use, posted my real details or a picture of myself or anything like that other than in PM's to people I trust.
It's utterly ridiculous that someone has tracked down a Facebook page to post threats but I completely believe it... I've heard of worse happening (for example, people contacting people's friends and family members and saying things like that they are a thief, a rapist or a paedophile. Seriously.) To be honest, if I was you I'd be contacting forum staff for IP deets. |

Bobnot, why would you specifically mention that you deleted the threats and why would you delete them at all if you could get something done about it?

Exactly, why not tell admin straight away or even report it to Facebook? I'm sure I can take a pretty good guess but whatever it'll be interesting to see what Josy finds out

..seriously, someone whose Facebook account has been searched out and used to attack and to make threats against them is now somehow in the wrong because their instinct was to delete something so awful and upsetting...so 'victim blaming'../and I'm sure that we would all think that victim blaming was awful if it was a topic/a story involving people we don't even know and have empathy..and yet so often on the forum, no such empathy or understanding for people we interact with daily....who are part of this forum community...

Don't worry Bob, I'm sure that Josy and the rest of the Admins will find something out.
