          Every script kiddie after a single class in uni knows how to make one. That’s why reddit had so many annoying bots that did fuckall but tried to be funny.

            Like that stupid reminder bot.

            Jokes one everyone; it doesn’t work anymore. What happy day that was.

              Reminder bot at least had a purpose and had to be manually triggered by someone to act. I’m talking about the annoying ones, like the spelling bot, it just scraped as much as it could, looked for common spelling errors and corrected people. Good thing bots were getting banned left and right. People aren’t original. When on /freefolk the Bobby bot got successful via a meme, there were like 10 other copycats the next week, made by people who didn’t know that nobody called the character “bobby” unless they wanted to invoke it. So then, a bot would pop up for writing Tyrion, Cersei, Tywin, etc, which were used always, since it was a fandom subreddit.

                I’m talking about the annoying ones…

                Yes, the stupid reminder bot where all you had was RemindMe! In the comments multiple times adding nothing to the conversation.

                It’s as annoying as “bump” in forums back in the day.

      I don’t see why it would be fake, there’s nothing unbelievable about it. I mean it is a greentext but there’s no reason to, y’know

    This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They’re people, just like everyone else, and I’m sure there’s some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they’re just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.

    I consider myself an ally, and I’ll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats… It doesn’t matter.

    IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.

    My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

      While not so bad now that they’re legally allowed to marry, this joke was kinda cringey before then. “Sure you don’t have the right to marry who you love like most people do, but ‘wife bad’, amiright??”

      wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

      what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

          Do they think the LGBTQ+ community is the kind of community you gotta pay like a yearly fee to be in? Lol

        It’s obviously not a good thing but, in this particular case, it was the cheating promoting a very wholesome outcome.

        The cheater got the boot. The cheated got ahead in life.

        Game. Set. Match.

    Fake but people will upvote anything that creates propaganda for their preferred narrative 🙄. No critical thinking.

      And what the kind of “propaganda” is this creating, exactly? Do you even know what that word means?

      They are still after me, generations have passed and those lesbian friends of my great great great great father do not how to quit

      I tried stabbing, burning, decapitation, even slicing them up in little pieces using a blender. They always return

      I do not know how much longer I can take it, this bloodline needs to end with me, it is the only way for the curse to end. The curse of the eternal lesbians

      .* becomes gay .*

    I had a girlfriend in my 20s that used to hook up with other girls. For some reason I never considered that cheating and never cared. No idea why it never bothered me.

      Even in cases where it ends a relationship, there’s something slightly less bad about a partner cheating on you with a gender different than your own. “What do they have that I don’t have?? Oh, right, a vagina and boobs/a dick.”
