You keep on bringing up how two guys together seems to cause you physical and mental anguish, so to many it comes across as homophobic. I don’t think you actually are based on your comments, but I can see how people may think that and comments like that may eventually normalize it which is where it becomes a real issue. I don’t want to start a discussion on free speech and hate speech because honestly there’s this big grey area that I’m not sure where to fall on. For example – violence in video games has so far proven to not be a major issue in young adults but younger children may be influenced or desensitized to violence. So while we can mostly agree video games don’t cause people to be violent, it may have an effect on how they view violence. The same thing happens with free speech and hate speech. We don’t have any proof that non-racist/sexist/etc people using slurs and or jokes makes people racist/sexist/etc. We know that using such language can cause emotional harm and that it can cause people that are actually racist/etc to feel justified in their feelings because others “feel the same way”. So we know they are bad and can cause issues, but putting limitations on free speech is very difficult. We can’t just slap on a Mature warning on a person who makes bad jokes any more than we can slap a warning label on someone for being a racist (though some of them do that on their own I guess).

This discussion is very difficult and not something for the comment section here though. The lines drawn are all over the place and over reach just a little too far and you hurt your own base, don’t reach far enough and you’re plagued with people intending to and not intending to do harm and no way to tell them apart all the time.
