I know this game is satire, but I want to say that just because someone does not agree with you, doesn't mean they are transphobic or homophobic. it just means that they have a different opinion and are expressing it in the way they believe is best. No hate at all, but not everyone is going to agree with you all the time. Especially not about such a controversial topic as this.

oh shit I never thought about that, I guess those tweets by JK Rowling were all misunderstandings and there's a reasonable reason why she decided to call all trans people and their allies that:
I guess it was also an innocent disagreement when the TERF friends she hangs out with literally quoted Hitler in their speech and none of them even called it out or seemed to find it weird https://twitter.com/northumbriaiww/status/1614690987145576453
This is probably just reasonable disagreements too https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/11/23/jk-rowling-libs-of-tik-tok-twitter/
Of course there's about hundreds of over things that could be used to illustrate this

My comment doesn't change. Every one has a right to different beliefs. HOWEVER, I will say that some of her methods are overzealous. Thank you for educating me and being respectful 😅

why don't you just go on and apply what you pretend to believe in, and respect this creator's having "a different opinion and [...] expressing it in the way they believe is best"?

Forgive me, but I don't completely understand. What do I pretend to believe in? I have done exactly what I preached. I respected the creator's opinion while still giving mine. We are having a completely civil discussion about this topic which I personally find enjoyable and stimulating. I apologize if I've offended you in any way, your response seems a bit hostile (even if that's not the intention)

True true, i respect all differences in opinions, the best example being when we respected Ronald Reagan's differences in political beliefs so hard he killed hundreds of thousands of people by ignoring the aids epidemic and refusing to allow anyone in the administration to even talk about it.
Politics and life are inseperable and im sorry if im being uncharitable but i have no time for this arguement. A friend of mine was recently assaulted and thrown out of a club by her hair by security for the crime of attempting to use a toilet while being trans, so dont you dare say this is about a difference of opinion, opinions lead to actions and those who voice those opinions should be called what they are, bigots, and im tired of people who telling me i shouldnt be angry when people I love are threatened.
i dont want a dialogue with you, because im going to get angry and neither of us needs that in the comments of a silly little game, but please dont tell us how were supposed to feel, because you dont have clue how it feels

I'm not telling you how to feel, I'm just expressing how I feel. If you feel that I'm pushing my opinions on you then I'm sorry and I probably won't be making any more comments on this topic. But I will say that it is a difference of opinion. Not everyone is going to throw someone out of a club for trying to use the bathroom while trans, but if the majority of the country agrees on something then there is nothing to be done but protest and hope for the best. And don't assume that I don't know how it feels, I'm not saying I know the exact feeling, but I have been oppressed and profiled for the crime of being born with more melanin in my skin. I have watched my people die and be tortured, just as you have watched yours. My point is that life sucks for everyone, and it will continue to suck until we as people decide to respect each other's differences and come together for solutions. If I'm being honest, I don't think that will happen in my youth, but I have hope for gen alpha. I'm not saying don't be angry, but channel that anger into creating solutions and making changes.

it just seemed silly to me that someone preaching "everything is valid, it's all just personal beliefs, let's all smile and agree to disagree" would actually attempt tone policing someone else.
and then, if i sounded hostile, it's probably because i was, indeed, annoyed. the position you're defending has been defended more times than there are stars in the universe (a whole fucking lot!), and in my little experience, it's more often than not proclaimed by people who have no understanding of social dynamics of power, no lived experience of discrimination, or both. i'm sorry if you caught some hostility up there.. it just gets boring to be told by randos to respect the "opinions" of a group that wants you dead.

Sorry, but if someone doesn't agree that homosexuals and/or trans men and women are people, that's not a valid opinion.

I agree. But there will always be pushback about this topic. The majority of the world views this as taboo due to their religion and/or personal beliefs. I can only hope that we can learn to love in harmony without being offensive and upsetting to other opinions.

Personal beliefs shouldn't infringe on the freedom of others or harm them.
people can believe whatever they want but religion or beliefs aren't excuses for hurting people no matter what
You don't have to respect the "opinion" of people who have decided that a certain category of people doesn't deserve to exist

As far as I can tell, JK Rowling's beliefs haven't infringed on anyone's freedom. And personally, I believe that you have to respect everyone, whether you agree with them or not. And finally, I would like to apologize, I engaged in a conversation I had no intention of continuing for more than a day. Please forgive me for my scattered responses ^-^

No one said they are not. You are strawmaning people's views just as much as this "game" does.

What, in no uncertain terms, do you think the disagreement is here? What do you think the opinions are? Lay it out for us.

Gladly, I think there are 2 basic opinions. One is that sexuality is fixed, and the other is that it is free choice. These two opinions will always be there, once again due to religion and/or personal beliefs. As of this comment section, there are not any disagreements, so I can't give you any info on disagreements lol
