Dude is crying for attention and making everything to be bigger than it is. Like I said, textbook unhinged.

Then it became a big debate of whataboutisms (what about other restaurants like McDonalds & Wendy's donating to conservative causes, which I've since avoided).
Cheebo seems very insecure over Star Wars.
Man these posts are helping it making it sense why this forum is so cynical and negative about virtually every piece of media that comes out lol.
I honestly don't even know how I would be able to function or enjoy life if I wasn't able to maintain being able to have fun and enjoy dorky dumb stuff. Being cynical sounds depressing lol.

Hello everyone. Just to say again:I stepped down voluntarily. The words that I used in that post were hurtful and wrong. I can only hope my apology was received as sincerely as I meant it. I really appreciate everyone who has a said a kind word for me in the following days, but I don't want any productive discussion of necessary changes to moderation to be sidelined by me. Nor do I want those who genuinely felt aggreived and hurt by what I said to feel as though they are being silenced or further disrespected.
Tim Rogers seems like he has a super healthy mental state...
yet you seemed fine with Royalan's intolerant views on ace folks! curious! way to make this about civility instead of, y'know, principles though. Totally not the thing we're fighting against in all trans threads all the time.we get to a healthier place as a community by not tolerating intolerance in any form, and by people like you not talking over queer folks on issues that don't affect you. sit down.
Ok, you clearly missed the entire point of my post and are reacting again with vitriol. I’m saying we on the left (myself included) and the grand majority of people on this site are with each other on 90% of issues and shouldn’t be at each other‘s throats even when we think others here are wrong about something. My whole point is that you should be saving this vitriol for the right, who are the ones propagating homophobia, transphobia, acephobia, etc.Let me expand further: does anyone here really think that Royalan was promoting actual discrimination against people who are asexual? Was ANYONE here actually promoting that?
Ok, and I’m happy you’re expressing these views to me via a reasoned message rather than advocating for me to be banned or ostracized. I’m not saying you can’t disagree and can’t even argue - I’m saying that this should be an open forum and people shouldn’t be calling for bans or for mods to step down except in egregious circumstances, and I don’t personally think this qualifies. You may disagree, and that is fine, but all I want is for this to be a site where people have freedom of speech and even freedom to make mistakes without being met with a chorus of contempt.
White people are apparently not allowed to like things, dislike things, have preferences, have things that include only them, have things that don't include them, and 1000 other random things. The world is going in a really neat direction.
Indian food does suck though Too much reliance on sauces and softness.Sometimes you need that crunch you know?
Man, as an Englishman I can’t imagine how I’d feel if people were to make fun of Spotted Dick and Jellied Eels, or were to suggest that the food of my people was generally fucking awful. How bereft of appetite I would be if someone said that the only bearable dishes were those we stole from others. It would strike at the very core of me, I’m sure.
I could really do with a white person handbook or something, so I don't fuck this shit up. Is there anything like that on Amazon perhaps?
People are like white folx hate spice, well the empire taking over purely for spices sure shoots that argument down.

Indian food is one of the few good types of food. This is all the more reason to coat Ireland with napalm.

I hear they don’t even puke green beer anymore because they’ve taken over.
potatoes are the only good thing to come out of ireland
I forgot about redheads. Irish folk music though... that’s more of a 50/50 split for me. Too even to give them any credit. A lot of it has that unattractive carny taste to it.
