Share your war stories from arguing with superphobes

submitted by Myurder from self.SuperStraight

Probably the weirdest superphobe argument I've heard is that our sexuality doesn't fit the definition of a sexuality. They are saying that a biological X wanting to be with a biological Y doesn't fit the "sexuality" paradigm they subscribe to. Like... I gotta say, if that's your take then maybe your definitions are bullshit. Do these people forget that we're each of us the end product of countless generations of natural biological pairings? Just blows my mind.

Not so much a war story as a pattern, I’ve had several on Reddit try to flame war me but I was a modern warfare 2 online player so, I don’t insult easy. I got curious and looked at some of the profiles and they almost unanimously had several post each on other subs about feelings of depression and self harm. Like every. Single. One.

One thing I find sad is that in all the promoting love that I personally did, people were trying to play the victim role and claim that I can't be a victim.

It's like saying people can't be racist to you because you're white.

Racism is racism. Abuse is abuse. Doesn't matter where it came from.

You cannot gatekeep racism. You cannot gatekeep feeling like a victim. If you think about it the abused becoming the abusers is quite common in human history.

I was in this epic fight.

This dude was all like "Superstraight isn't a thing."

And I was all like nuhhh uhhhhh. But they weren't listening.

So I constructed an antenna and I pointed it at Wolf 359. They thought I was crazy but who will be laughing when an alien armada shows up.

u/Magnora7 I have a brilliant idea. Every time anybody even glances at this site I think my comment about the alien armada is the first thing every new user should see.

Can we convene a committee of committees to discuss committees regarding this new policy as I have outlined in my brief 15 page summary that I am sure Jason will write.

Working on behalf of corporate interests, scientist Jonathan Meridith has created a miniature version of a remote planet (in the titular Wolf 359 system) in his laboratory. Due to the miniaturization, this artificial world knows an accelerated development, thus allowing Meridith to study its evolution through an electronic microscope, and to observe the birth of archaic life forms on its surface. However, soon a mysterious lifeform evolves along with the developing experiment. It is aware of the scientist's presence—even acting aggressively towards him at some point. Manifesting by night in the absence of light, the creature takes a physical shape into the laboratory itself, destroying all life inside it, including plants, a colony of ants and a couple of guinea pigs. Becoming aware of the situation, Meridith weighs the value of his experiment versus the possible dangers. He resorts to firing his lab assistant and sending his wife back home, in order to keep them away from harm. Pursuing his studies, the scientist soon discovers the creature inhabiting the planet seems to be a manifestation of the planet itself, similar to its collective mind, and bent on destruction. As the evolution of the miniature world progresses, Meridith observes a reproduction of the darkest moments of Earth's history at its surface (including the development of nuclear weapons). Lowering his guard one night, the scientist is suddenly attacked by the creature; he is, however, saved by his wife. She returns from home at the right moment to breach the miniature planet's containment cell, causing its atmosphere to escape so that the creature is destroyed along with the planet. In the epilogue, Meridith can be seen recording his final report on Wolf 359, saying that the experiment is over and the planet destroyed. Yet he also mentions that the experience could be successfully recreated in the future, if only one could find a better planet.

I don't remember seeing that episode.
