Why do people have to write fanfiction about characters I like being in relationships I don't like

I am starting to believe in forced sterilization for morons. This person revolts me.

[dictator_duck]

... say what, now?

[sunktheglow]

It's obviously not a sincere suggestion or solution and came from a place of anger, it just makes me sick to think that this person is free to reproduce and perpetuate this type of thinking to future generations, though I do not think anyone should prohibit his/her right to.

Um. No. Try again tomorrow.

[sunktheglow]

I'll tell you like I told the other person: it's obviously not a sincere suggestion or solution and came from a place of anger, it just makes me sick to think that this person is free to reproduce and perpetuate this type of thinking to future generations, though I do not think anyone should prohibit his/her right to.

[lady_ganesh]

Yeah, because that's never ended badly before. Ugh.

[sunktheglow]

My comment was very obvious not a sincere suggestion and came from a place of anger, it just makes me sick to think that a person can have opinions like this could one day raise children to perpetuate those opinions (though I don't think we should actually take away their right to).

[lady_ganesh]

When you're angry it's okay to not comment. You can take a step back and comment when you're not angry.

[sunktheglow]

It's also okay not to post a rant when you're angry, and yet...

[lady_ganesh]

And when people say shitty things in the rant we call them on that too. Your point?

MTE

[sunktheglow]

You commented me first, dude, I don't know.

[aubade_saudade]

you can get angry and not escalate to "forced sterilization" and eugenics.

that's just ridiculous

[rhiannon_s]

Okay. This is going to end badly.

I don't know if you do know, but "moron" used to be a medical term for someone with restricted mental capabilities. And people genuinely did get sterilised for being one. I get that you aren't being serious, and are just using hyperbole, but that word in conjunction with that line of humour is going to offend a lot of people here and set off a lot of criticism of yourself.

This is not the right forum for jokes like that.

If you didn't know about the history of the word "moron" or the history of the various eugenics movements, I can understand why you might not realise why it is such a tinderbox of offence, but trust me when I say it is.

[sunktheglow]

I don't know if you do know, but "moron" used to be a medical term for someone with restricted mental capabilities.

Yep, didn't know that. I only know it for its colloquial usage. So, I apologize for any potential offense that people might feel with regards to that, however I disagree with you on this not being the right forum - this is a forum for rants. I was a ranting.

Aaaaand we have "it's a rant comm!" Someone dig out the bingo cards.
