Tiger Doughnut Jul 14, 2012 03:54PM i'm pretty sure my dad got punched one time because some guys thought he was looking at them weird
α ωιℓ∂ яσαя! Jul 14, 2012 03:54PM so like someone flirting with you is justification for murder??????? LISTEN TO YOURSELVES YOU PSYCHOPATHS
α ωιℓ∂ яσαя! Jul 14, 2012 03:54PM WOULD YOU STAB A PERSON OF THE OPPOSITE GENDER TO DEATH FOR FLIRTING WITH YOU
Immelmann Jul 14, 2012 03:55PM I can't. It's like, someone could shoot me if I just SAID I was gay and you panicked because of it???
Tiger Doughnut Jul 14, 2012 03:55PM i mean, if women applied that logic every time a guy approached and flirted with them, that might actually cut down on a lot of rape cases
Tiger Doughnut Jul 14, 2012 03:57PM actually, gay people were part of the Nazi's 'cleanup of Germany'
Kathryn Jul 14, 2012 04:01PM As much as this defense could obviously be abused, I also realise that some people are raised by incredibly homophobic societies/parents
Kathryn Jul 14, 2012 04:01PM and really do have that sort of a visceral reaction to being hit on (in reality or in their head) because it marks THEM as 'gay' (in their
Tiger Doughnut Jul 14, 2012 04:02PM but the second it gets turned aroudn on them OH MY GOD I HAVE TO KILL HIM
Kathryn Jul 14, 2012 04:02PM maybe they should do more therapy with people who commit hate crimes. Do they already do therapy with them? I don't really know.
giddy aunt Jul 14, 2012 04:03PM I don't either. It definitely is a society issue and not all about individuals and that's so hard to change.
α ωιℓ∂ яσαя! Jul 14, 2012 04:05PM if it was something like, idk punching someone for hitting on you IN GENERAL I could maybe be okay with that in way but
α ωιℓ∂ яσαя! Jul 14, 2012 04:05PM the moment you get to killing all sense of justification is lost imo
Harpie Jar Jul 14, 2012 04:25PM i honestly do not understand people sometimes. And...really, my father is one of the most racist, prejudiced fucks in the history of
Harpie Jar Jul 14, 2012 04:26PM civilization, and has justified punching black guys at work because theyre black (he works construction). So uh, yeah. I know its not the
Harpie Jar Jul 14, 2012 04:27PM same but i was brought up to hate other races and I hate it. id never even dream of hating someone for that let alone using violence
Harpie Jar Jul 14, 2012 04:27PM so while yes, i understand that some people are brought up in very homophobic households and are scared of being seen as gay, it

«katheryn» Jul 15, 2012 01:58AM "gay panic" = Straight men being terrified that other men might treat them the same way that they themselves treat women.
«katheryn» Jul 15, 2012 01:58AM i.e. If these "panicking" men were not inherently sexist douchebags then they would not react in such a way,
«katheryn» Jul 15, 2012 01:59AM So basically by supporting the gay panic loophole they are saying YEAH WE WOULD TOTALLY DESERVE IT IF WOMEN KILLED US FOR MAKING RAPE JOKES.
«katheryn» Jul 15, 2012 02:01AM Because clearly they think they gay men simply flirting with them is equal to them threatening sex toward their preferred sex. -_-
«katheryn» Jul 15, 2012 02:02AM Gee, that is not at all telling about how they view intimate relationships. At all.
Mooslepuff Jul 15, 2012 06:46AM Thanks for this signed immediately!And started by a Catholic priest, props!
Pepperlander Jul 15, 2012 01:34PM Signed even though I'm in the U.S., because they need to know how barbaric this looks to much of the rest of the world.
