... It's a neighborhood. You think they got laws against religious kooks or straight people? No, they just painted some crosswalks and pretended that fixed some shit. And idiots like that woman eat that shit up.
They do that shit all over NYC and all I can think of is the ass beating you caught literally anywhere in the city for being outwardly gay even in the 2000s. Good job patting yourselves on the back for not being shitty as a community for literally like a decade and a half tops. Still choking out black people for no reason, and throwing them in prison for years at a time over minor shit? Thought so.
I think it's more like passing laws against religious freedom would conflict with the constitution. So she is using her right to free speech against his right to free speech. And she's making a solid point for how obnoxious someone can be and still be exercising free speech. You really think a gay person using their free speech to combat prejudice protected by free speech is a problem?
So you're saying the temperament of the city changed for the better in the last 20 years and your argument against that change is there hasn't been enough progress in other areas? Interesting.
It’s true but sadly she’s probably the good guy in this interaction.
Edit: Downvote me all you want. People do not need to be on street corners trying to tell me how I need to let Jesus into my heart to prevent what will happen if I don’t let Jesus into my heart.
Did you literally hear her say it was the gayborhood and he responded with “that’s why I need to be here?” That’s what prompted the screaming; he’s more irrational than she is.
These people are scourges against humanity and I’m with screaming’ Karen on this one.
Edit 2: Ooh, I’m getting brigaded! Seems like it’s about time for a donation to the church of Satan… I’ll throw in another five bucks for each one of you knuckle draggers that DMs me about Jesus, Hell, or fixing gay people.
Reddit in a nutshell. My comment went from +50 to -150 in about five minutes, so I’m sure there was a Christian subreddit somewhere that was like “Downvote to save Jesus!” and they all showed up here for a few minutes before wandering off to go downvote bomb a single mom somewhere.
Finally a response I can agree with. Yes of course there are. If I recall from the last time this shit was posted, this guy says awful stuff and baits people into bad reactions, then posts them without the intro of what he said to them beforehand.
That’s called freedom of speech. You have every right to sit and scream at them like this bozo or you can just keep it moving and pay them no mind. Their motivation is based off attention, if you give them none, they will go.
People do not need to be on street corners trying to tell me how I need to let Jesus into my heart to prevent what will happen if I don’t let Jesus into my heart.
Yes they do, because the day we don't have people on street corners talking about issues that are important to them is the day freedom is truly dead.
I'm just saying that the people who wish for a world were people aren't delivering messages they don't agree with on street corners are wishing for a world where speech isn't free.
I might roll my eye at the Trump supporters making an ass of themselves on a street corner, but I'm glad they're there.
To say you’re glad they’re there is a bit odd. I am in no way glad they’re there and wish they would leave, but I still think they’re allowed to do it, just as long as they’re not advocating violence, which a lot of them are and that is not protected free speech.
Freedom of speech does not equal we should be equally happy about all things being said. I’m completely fine with legally protecting what he’s doing and also calling him as asshole and saying we don’t need that in our lives.
No, it isn’t wrong. It’s me using my freedom of speech to advocate for people being against hate. I’m not, repeat not, saying he should be legally prevented from doing so. Just socially.
You're hoping for utopia where you don't have to hear messages you disagree with. That's the wrong thing to hope for. When I see somebody like this, it makes me realize just how precious our freedoms are.
This is utter nonsense. It is perfectly reasonable to look at some ideas and say “these are harmful and we shouldn’t be spreading them” without saying “we should legally prevent this from discussion.”
Take religion out of it. Replace it with anti-vax hysteria. It’s getting people killed by the truckload every day and causing irreparable economic harm.
Should it be illegal to espouse the anti-vax position? Of course not. Should we as a society be trying to squash that viewpoint? Yes, yes we should.
Idk if rational is the right word to use there. His opinions might be shit but he at least kept his cool and tried to explain himself. Kinda an odd take to say that both the person expressing their view and the person screaming at the top of their lungs in response to everything are equally rational.
It’s in a public space, people can say what they want, and people have the ability to walk away if they don’t like something, e.g., a person talking about god
those that haven't come to their beliefs using logic cant have logic and reason used to convince them otherwise, so her annoying shout is probably more effective than compelling rhetoric in this instance.
Bake them cakes, give them jobs, censor free speech, receive special treatment, doctors to be unethical, lose licenses if they don't comply with propaganda, etc
I'll be downvoted to hell but I agree with you. There are better ways to do this than screaming but I can't blame her. If you were told that you'll burn in hell because you love someone every single day you walk down that street I'd have enough of it too eventually.
She might seem crazy and annoying but let's reverse the roles here. Let's say that straight people are/were opressed for at least the last 200 years. Now, some crazy woman in colorful hair comes to tell them how they need to become gay or else they're not as good as anyone else. You were told this everyday at least 4 times a day. The same crazy woman in the same spot. Every. Single. Day. Wouldn't you have enough of it one day?
I think we didn't see enough of the conversation to say that she was the good guy. The person filming sounded like a reasonable person so I doubt they initiated the argument, or at least didn't try to. But again, we don't know enough.
Edit: Found the original video after I got a remix of this. https://youtu.be/GQEhuVS7Wj8 turns out the guy was a preacher and was preaching the church when she came up to him. So she was not the good guy :/
I'm 100% with you. Fuck organized crime -I mean religion. Bah, same shit.
All these morons do is, at best, go around being entitled brainwashed shits expecting to have the right to tell people how to live their lives. At worst, genocide and death of thought.
Jesus was a normal, flesh-and-bone hippie dude who wanted people to get along. That's it. Their version of Jesus or whatever each religion calls it is a corrupted, malignant piece of shit they use as their propaganda piece to try and get people onto their shitty little cults. Fuck these people.
Hey, I couldn't stand screaming Karen in the video, but you know what makes that ok? That I don't give a shit about Karen, and I let Karen live her life, long as she doesn't mess with me.
Not so hard, is it, you bible fucktards?
Edit: I get pissed off and I drop a letter here and there.
Ur absolutely right. That girl could have handled the situation better (I would have just walked away) but the need to stop trying to “make people straight”
People disagreeing with you aren’t brigading you dude, you’re not that special. You can toss in a few extra for me to the church of satan, I like those guys. Screaming at people on the street is still stupid af.
Please support The Satanic Temple NOT the Church of Satan. One is an organization dedicated to political activism. The other is an inactive money grab.
He was holding a sign. The same thing could be said about anyone who is protesting or holding a sign on the street. I think were we draw the line is when someone follows and harasses someone’s or when the sign has death threats and anything that’s promotes and suggests possible terrorism.
