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:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

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.
