Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

If I had to guess, the person got their panties so twisted and bunched up, they didn't realize the video had already changed when they hit "submit comment" and posted it to the next one in queue.

I've had that happen once or twice while commenting on something, just without all the homophobia and anger.

It's because his shirt has rainbow colored lightning bolts on it. Homophobes are terrified of rainbows.

Holy shit that's such a small thing I didn't even notice until just now.

I shouldn't be surprised, my brother in law flipped his shit when his kids wouldn't stop sending the word "color" on their family group chat because rainbows fly around the screen. Went on a big tirade about how nobody should be "celebrating the 7 sins"

If I had been present, I'd love to have asked him to clarify which of the sins he means, because I have a good idea but I want him to say it out loud so I can argue about it.

Wait, people actually think that's what the pride sin is about? I thought that was just a meme.

In gonna guess it’s a bot comment. Faschies and their gross pets use bots to spread shitty sentiments (like homophobia) and try to make them seem more popular than they are.

Is the answer to spread homoerotic commentary by bot?
I don’t know how to do bots, nor am I included on any of the rainbow agenda email lists, but I got no problems being a slutty slut slut slut for equal rights.

Automation should be used to do work nobody else wants to do. This proposed application is inconsistent with that aim.

You got me on that.

Edit: Except for the use case of being sluttier faster!

It wouldn't surprise me.

Every time one of the channels I'm subbed to posts a video, the first 20 minutes or so of comments are mainly bots trying to catch thirsty nerds.

Oh, you think that disembodied voice looks sexy? Please, go on, I love ~~tasting~~ hearing about synesthesia.
