Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Of course I don't.
But I ALSO don't ascribe to the notion that the labels given to a person change EVERYTHING about what they are saying.
Empowerment does not SOLELY come from within.
And those people are sitting through the opening scene? (Let alone the focus group...)
You are INVENTING scenarios in order to be outraged.
not even icing.
Old man using the word "queer" doesn't mean shit.
And most folks, including plenty of dudes who actually ARE gay would have left the room at the point where a strange man starts disrobing.
I'm no fan of Ron Paul, but that was really the low-point of the movie.
mostly because of the joke at the end that Bruno thought he was making a sex tape with RuPaul
Isn't it GLBTQ?
What spring does with the cherry trees.
it may not be the most socially acceptable word (perhaps it could be likened to the word "negro") but it also isn't a 100% derogatory term.
Of course they are sitting through the opening scene. How many people watch things that they find disgusting to amuse themselves? I really think the idea that someone might not sit through an opening scene where he plays "that disgusting homo", when the person wants to watch a film ridiculing "disgusting homos", a tad naive.
So, your mythological homo-hater has absolutely ZERO problem watching a man drink champagne out of another man's ass, or a talking erect penis.
But he's also going to walk out of that movie having been convinced to hate gays MORE than he did previously?
Who is being naive here, man?
Honestly the focus group scene was the best part of the movie, with the rest being low-to-middling

Does Bruno need your permission to talk about gay dudes?
And you said yourself, "Queer Eye does much more to set back gays.", which means that you accept that it does set them back.
So why should I support such a movie by actions or words?
No, because I want to argue poorly thought-out hyperbole on a section of American culture that I have little to no relation to and have read nothing about.
I'd rather be outraged at this movie, which I haven't seen, than admit it does anything so beneficial as to initiate conversation about these torrid subjects.
And the humor of an Orthodox Jewish man pretending to be an anti-Semite is lost on me.
takes one to know one
am I wrong?
ok I'll leave now
That's great! Can we be friends?
And by that, I mean straight friends who talk about manly things like working out, football and wrestling. Mama Fu dint raise no queer.
Where was I asking you to support Bruno?
I was merely commenting that you come off as a freshman college student who just realized that the world has different kinds of people, when you try to complain about the movie not being "responsible" enough.
Your words form sentences, but those sentences form no coherent thoughts relevant to the discussion at hand. It's nice to see that you're out of arguments though.
To remind you how all this started: I said this movie was enabling homophobia, to which you replied "nuh uh, black comedies are way worse!", a pretty obvious attempt to steer the discussion away from the subject, which I even follwed.
Then you tried to argue that this movie is ridiculing gays SO MUCH, homophobes are just not going to be able to cope with all the icky ridiculing and just cry their eyes out, missing the rest of the movie.
Now you're resorting to a pretty petty personal attack, which at least shows that you're out of ideas.
You started with the idea that an entertainment movie does not have to serve a higher purpose, which is a pretty naive idea, because almost anything serves a higher purpose, whether intended or not.
Now you're calling me a freshman, because I'm not seing the big picture?
Please.
Did I strike a nerve?
I'm sowwy.
On that note, what higher purpose does Beer For My Horses serve?
What about the ______ Movie series/wretched conglomeration? I mean, besides instigating and/or provoking suicides.
I am not being facetious or feces-tious. I honestly have thought long and hard about why this dreck exists in a universe that is not inherently flawed.

We waited until 2008 to make a decision what we're supposed to do with our beer against evil forces?
How often did we have to go back to the goddamn drawing board to come up with 'Raising up glasses against evil forces.' this goddamn late in the game?
Somewhere else, as yet unbeknownst to us, is someone even worse, congealing in a rancid gutter, with the deductive capabilities of Bizarro Batman and a grasp of the English language on par with that guy who wrote the Half-Life 2: Full-Life Consequences fan-fic.
This is SE, not D&D
I;d put the time in to serious arguments if I didn't think that the post right after them was going to be "dicks butts olol"
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
No, you didn't. I don't feel touched by your personal attacks in the least, because they're entirely unconvincing anyways (much like your arguments) and completely untrue, too.
But I guess it boils all down to "man this is SE/the Internet/leisure time, bro, who caares", which is your opinion to have if you want.
I'm not going to see this movie, for my part.
