Weird, Internet, LGBTQIA+, Nonsense and Discord: I wanna be oppressed so hard

I wanna be oppressed so hard

By HatedAndFearedForExisting - 26/03/2023 10:00 - United States

Today, for the 50,000th time, I was told that something I said was offensive and triggering to my LGBTQ+-friendly Discord server mod, who frequently tells me that, as a "cis hetero Christian male", I don't know what I'm talking about. I was trying to be supportive of everyone, but I was wrong because *I* said it. FML

Today, I learned that I may have caused a public speaker and author to be fired, because my response to his "open chat" question flustered him, causing him to lose his cool and snap at me. FML

Today, I got reprimanded by my boss for saying "It's a stab in the dark, though." According to him, it's a euphemism for anal sex and I was being offensive to a gay colleague, the same one who kept insisting it was no problem. I got written up anyway. FML

Today, I had to go to a boring, never-ending "sensitivity training" session, all because my douchebag coworker filed a complaint against me last week after I apologized for being tardy. Apparently I was insulting people with mental disorders. Or as she put it, "differently-abled" people. FML

Today, I had to reprimand an employee for her bad attitude and terrible work performance. She went to HR and said I harassed her for being gay. Guess who they believed. FML

Holiday assumptions

Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her. FML

Today, a guy told me I was hot and that I should give him a chance. When I told him I was straight, he instantly called me a bigot. FML

Free speech

Today, for about the tenth time this month, I opened my mouth and was immediately told to, “Shut the fuck up” before I'd actually said anything. FML

Today, I was on a work call when my coworker made an accidental Freudian slip. Thinking I was muted, I muttered, "That’s what she said." I wasn’t muted. FML

Today, I apologised to someone for my misuse of the word 'coloured' in a discussion about ethnic minority issues. They then got even more angry and said that to even quote the word in the context of an apology is evidence of my ignorance and inherent racism. FML

Shipping culture

By Anonymous - 07/03/2022 14:00

Today, my friend accused me of lying about being gay. Why? I happen to ship some m/f couples in the works of fiction I follow. According to her, gay people are inherently opposed to anything heterosexual, and therefore it shouldn't be possible that I like those ships. The kicker? She herself is straight. FML

A group of LGBTQ+ people is just as likely as any other group of people to be toxic. It sounds like this one definitely is. Even if what you said was offensive, failing indication that you were malicious, they should have given you the courtesy of explaining why instead of a blanket “no, you’re wrong”.

A circlejerk is a circlejerk. Doesn’t matter who it is. If they’re disregarding what you say because you’re a straight, cisgender Christian man, clearly that is not a group you should belong to, and if it takes more than three hints to that effect, you clearly are a glutton for punishment.

when I'm told I offended someone my response is always you made the choice to be offended. I'm not walking on eggshells cuz of woke bullshit ideology

the mod at least is a hateful/angry person... they exist in all groups and often make the group as a whole look bad. I would guess they pull that shit with other member who are lgbtq+ for not being LGBTQ+ enough in their eyes...

Similar situation. If it wasn't for one channel on the Discord server I'm involved in where politics and ideology are (with a few related situations) unimportant, I'd bail on the server completely. It does sorta prove their point when one of them went after me for similar reasons - it just proved they are just like everyone else, after all.
