Total sidebar, but it's weird how people remember DADT. Like it was a sudden LGBT-phobic policy that came out of nowhere. What it actually was, was a typical pathetic Democrat half-measure, trying to "compromise" with Christian fascists. The policy it replaced was that commanders could decide to just broadly investigate soldiers and look for evidence of them being gay to purge them from the military. The Democrats' solution was "just pretend to be straight all the time lol, and we'll promise to be less proactive about purging you"
It's bizarre to me that people could look at getting a bunch of young, fit men together, thrusting them into a situation where they mostly exist in a social bubble with each other, train to trust each other with their lives, and live in a culture of embracing excitement and violence, and then expect everyone to pretend some of them aren't fucking.
Make sure to select "I would like to report concerning or abusive behaviour to discord".
This is worth doing. Discord Trust and Safety have been legitimately good in my experience. They do not hesitate to shut down servers that they're made aware of problems in. Discord does not behave the same as Reddit.
Sure, but they have always been proactive about not allowing hate-filled discords. It's extremely easy to get these places permabanned. Reddit on the other hand has always been the opposite, doing everything in their power to ignore this kind of thing until pushed into it by media.
“If anyone here is gay, please let us know by not engaging in homophobia”
The homophobic straights will be compelled to engage in bannable behavior in order to not be perceived as gay. And then everyone else will be banned for being gay. Server is now vacant. You’re welcome.
Wait, are you cishet? Jesus Christ why can’t we keep this political bullshit off this instance? Quit shoving it in our faces. Being straight doesn’t have to be your whole personality 🙄
@pooh because it was the best they could do. people don’t seem to realize how the gop has fought literally everything since long before the last 20 years, making even half assed stuff like this a hard, long slog. if we didn’t constantly have 30 pounds of mud on each shoe, we could all and even run. instead we slog and drag. when we can even more forward at all.
