In reply to the discussion: The Rude Pundit ought to just steer clear of sexist/homophobic [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)windbag and or asshole is their style I am no longer interested. It's fun maybe once. But DU is a batch of hypocrites. The worst homophobic language has always been and still is defended here. That is the language that says we should not have rights, have plenty of rights, that our history does not count. DU is full of posters who say that shit and our politics is made up of people who oppose or opposed and rant away about it. All of that is worse than RP and no one gives a flying fuck.
People post about how much they love the Pope, who says horrible things about gay people. That's considered to be acceptable, but it is inherently homophobic. And sexist. If you complain they say things like 'you hate all people of faith everywhere'. So if you say 'that guy is homophobic' they say 'you hate all religious people and want them eliminated from the planet'. So you can't even criticize a bigot on DU. That's worse that the RP. It just is.
So this thing of holding up a few words and a few people for inspection strikes me as a way to avoid the real issues.
But that's just my rant, I suppose.
