Forum Overview :: We Love Katamari
 
Bait thread attracts bans by It's pretty bad 06/24/2018, 7:57am PDT
Research tells us what we all know - most people even LGBT+ won't date trans.

Virtually all heterosexuals excluded trans folks from their dating pool: only 1.8% of straight women and 3.3% of straight men chose a trans person of either binary gender. But most non-heterosexuals weren’t down for dating a trans person either, with only 11.5% of gay men and 29% of lesbians being trans-inclusive in their dating preferences. Bisexual/queer/nonbinary participants (these were all combined into one group) were most open to having a trans partner, but even among them, almost half (48%) did not select either ‘trans man’ or ‘trans woman.’


The forum can't handle it. Straight sadsacks struggle to justify their choices because children but and long arguments about adoption ensue. https://www.resetera.com/threads/new-research-shows-a-vast-majority-of-cis-people-wont-date-trans-people.50541/

Sure, but I really doubt that there are many people out there who would date a trans person except for the risk of being in a long term relationship, wanting kids, and then not being able to afford to adopt one. It seems unlikely to me that they would as readily rule out an infertile cis person.


I know, and I think those people are very selfish.


Literally selfish for wanting children with your DNA. Nobody could agree with this.

I definitely agree with it, at least a little. You're bringing new people into a world which already has too many people just because you want your kid to have your dumb cleft chin. It's an animalistic desire so it makes sense that a lot of people have it, but it's inherently selfish.


Breathing is selfish to other humans.



Can I ask what the purpose of the thread was? Like, what would be the spectrum of acceptable opinion in this thread without risking being banned or suspended?

Does the OP realise that posting a thread as a mod has an immediate chilling effect on people that might want to express an opinion but feel unable to do so.

And for a lot of them, that might be the correct way, to make sure they take stock and ponder what they actually mean before offering something.

But it also means that people cant understand why their position might be wrong, worrisome, transphobic or problematic.

So far, the pathway to not get banned is to say "I only date people I can have children with".

Was this a genuine attempt to challenge conventional views?


User banned (1 week): Thread-complaining in a thread concerning discrimination. Too obvious. Be more subtle, my friend.

t looks like its bannable if you rule out dating a person who is trans


User Banned (1 week): Meta-complaining about moderation. Attempting to derail discussion. History of such behaviour. - Hahaha. But no mod sass.

As someone who is not very attractive, i'm a big fan of any social push that shames people for refusing to have sex with someone else.

Once we've normalised that you're a bigot if you're not attracted to both sets of genitals, then we can finally start shaming people for not having sex with uggos like me.


No ban. A+
