Because toy soldier boy says so and despite not being what you'd call worldly, he does have the definitive answer to everything, he thinks.

You don't need "proof" to know that the intent of this is to lampoon Pride, you only need a basic level of social literacy and a bit of common sense. And honesty. You know what the intent of the event is, we all do. I'm not playing this daft "There is no proof you cannot possibly know what people's intent is without them saying so!" game, it's painful.

You literally know next to nothing about me Livia, just as I know nothing about you, other than that you have a chip on your shoulder the size of the grand canyon . Really don't like me to have any opinion about anything eh.

You answer me in the way you did, then basically tell livia she knows nothing about you, kicking up a wee fuss about it as well...because she formed an opinion on you without knowing anything about you...



Like I said, try seeing further than the end of your own nose.

Don't be silly, making a comment on why some random bar owner has started a Straight Pride event is in no way related to Livia's bizarre claim to know anything at all about how "worldly" or otherwise I am . Like I said, we know nothing about each other on here, some people choose not to disclose details by choice, others make claims about their qualifications and experience levels that are dubious and we're all free to doubt, the point is that it doesn't matter 'cos we're all just random people on the internet having opinions about things in the news.

Livia just (as a rule) detests my opinions and thinks I shouldn't have any . It's because I once said I doubted that she's a lawyer (which I've dogwhistled above - see we can all be honest about our intentions) and she's never been able to get over it.

I suppose it would be more accurate to say, I don't believe her, there is no proof of it, and it seems unlikely based on my limited experience of her thoughts and opinions on a Big Brother forum.

But of course; I don't know. But I also don't care. Because again we're just internet strangers having our opinions online. It simply does not matter either way.

My opinion on this topic is that the guy who made the event is cashing in on sad bigots who want to "stick it to the woke" by lampooning Pride events. You disagree. That's fine. My opinion will remain the same. Can we accept that or not? Because - despite the constant criticisms I get that "I always have to be right" - I'm quite content for us to have different opinions... ... ... it's other people who seem to get reeeeaaally peeved if I won't change my opinion to match theirs .

Makes no sense to me.

If you are content with things, why would you feel the need to ridicule and belittle someone by calling them boring etc, simply for asking you questions on your opinion?

It's boring to answer the same questions repeatedly while people pretend (in my opinion) to have no idea that "Hetero Fest" is an attempt to mock "Gay Pride" -- which seems plain-as-day obvious. It happens all the time lately. Something is obvious and people "play pretend" that up is down and left is right. You can't "know for sure" that Musk deliberately did a Nazi salute. You can't "know for sure" that people flying a St George's cross in their living room window are likely xenophobic. You can't "know for sure" that a bar running Super Awesome Straight People Day isn't mocking Gay Pride. Fine - you can't know for sure, but I (individually) can be 99.999% sure, believe so, and say so. And I can say that I find other people pretending that the sky is green to suit their political stance is boring as fk. Am I not allowed to be bored by what I'm bored by either? Is there a list somewhere of things that I'm allowed to find boring?

Im bored now.

Will leave you to it.
