It's the last day of pride month. That's why it's there, I assume.

Don't worry, your masculinity is still intact.
It is, I don't see how this effect my maculinity, I just don't like it, so I think I can discuss it, obviously I fully expected, that people going to have different opinions a that's fine...

Why do you care?
Usually Google doodles are gone in a day and oftentimes I end up learning something about history or science from them.

Haven't the time to read through the whole thing and see if someone else suggested it, but...

DuckDuckGo + !g before your search sometimes is the way to go.

If the former doesn't find what you're looking for, and DDG is surprisingly good for everyday stuff, !g will send your search term straight to Google, with, I think, added DDG privacy safety.

Not sure on that last one, but this combo is perfect for me.

We reached to a point where acceptance is forced now..

Good lord, what a bunch of snowflakes in this thread. Sorry that you aren't catered to 100% of the time. Just ignore it and move on. If you let something like this affect you, you're mentally weak. Guess what? Drag queens are real people and you're mad because you couldn't ignore them like you do the vast majority of the time.

Or you can follow your own advice and quit being a snowflake yourself?

Six posts since 2013 and you drop in to call someone a snowflake. You won’t last long at this rate.

You got offended over a Google drawing. Snowflake.

Been using Bing over a year and half and have found pretty much everything I’ve been looking for after a search.
Bing is far better for proramming related stuff and porn, nothing beats Bing in porn.

You know, you can express your displeasure about graphics, because that was my main grip with this, that it looks liek caricature and that it is kind of bad taste, so I express it and it's up to community to express their opinion. I am not offended (Slavs pretty don't what that is), but I think I should be free to express my opinion, being good or bad. But name calling is very low bar how to lead a discussion.

Well, now I'm offended by the blatant homophobia in your post. But it won't ruin my day.
I mean, person does not have to be homophobic, to not like drag queens, because I think that corss-dressing is not exlusive to gay community. Besides if you read that wiki post, that person died, on pride parade, so probably even there few people have problems with it.

Lol. I'm just telling it like it is though. Maybe if certain gay dudes acted normal and not like parodies of women they would get treated better.

This I agree with, but I think that is pretty small minority who does this and all gay people I know, does not like it, that it gives their bad name.

Doesn't matter because like every time you see a gay dude in the media it's all TEE HEE LOOK AT ME I'M MENTALLY LIKE TOTES A TEEN GIRL AND I'M SO FUCKIN GAY LOOK AT MY MAKEUP AND PAY ATTENTION TO ME. Google would never put Rob Halford in a doodle. Not gay enough.

True and those pronouns, etc. Why.

I think you can answer yourself "why not", you wouldn't have made this thread for example.
Sure does this thread bothers you...maybe for a reason, that I fucked up the title? : D

Duckduckgo's search results are the biggest issue, not how fast (or slow for that matter) it runs. It's a great search engine for finding general stuff, but not a very good one for finding specific things or, even worse, local pages.
It worthless when it comes to local searches, which makes it worthless on my phone

I guess they're showcasing a prominent gay rights activist during pride month?


I guess I don't know what the issue is with this unless you're actually, legitimately anti-gay rights. Says they were active during the late 60s and 70s, which is pretty damn early to be out and pushing for gay rights.

Well I don't know, most people drink as much as I drinked before, but they are pretty religious and all this "gay shit", they hate it out there.

So you're actually cool with that? Let's just casually talk about how bigoted we are since everyone else here seems cool with it?

Holy shit, some of the posts the mods let stand in this thread ....

And then they warn one of the only people calling it out? Wow.

Better give me a warning too mods. People triggered by a google doodle during pride month ARE snowflakes.

Do I have enough posts here to be allowed to call people snowflakes?

Spoken like a true snowflake. :messenger_tongue:
 
Gay people, I'm certain, will tell you that being gay is normal. Straight people, like myself, agree. So this constant PRIDE shit is just weird to me. Seems like it's PRIDE month 8 times a year.

It's 2020, pretty much everyone is in agreement that being gay is normal / nothing special / out of the ordinary / something to be remarked upon....... so why is this necessary? Just seems counter productive if you're constantly pointing out how proud you are to be different. You aren't.

You're acting like a snowflake while accusing others of being snowflakes themselves. Crying out for mods because they hurt your feelings. Real pathetic.

I would have never mentioned mods until I saw what they did in this thread, which is a sad joke. My entire mention of mods is in the context of what they just did.

Maybe you should read the actual warning. They warned some reeeeeeeeeeturnee who just came back to start shit. And he / her / it / that / the other, is far from the only one.

I read it. People come back to GAF all the time after getting banned from REEE. Nothing in that guy's post deserves a warning. That's especially true given the context of the conversation. His initial post here was definitely not just "starting shit," and it was perfectly valid.

First sentence.

Good lord, what a bunch of snowflakes in this thread
 
Read the rest of it. Are you actually claiming that this is some inflammatory post compared to what is on this site every day?
From a regular? No. From some dingbat who has barely posted in 7 years, and who may, or may not, have been banned from Retardera? Absolutely.

Do you know how many people here have been banned from REE? Even here, your rule isn't consistent or fair.

What if he called people snowflakes in a pro-conservative context? Do you think he'd still get a warning?
