      It’s funny, I’ve gotten accusations of bigotry in my grindr profile for saying “No-one DL”. I intended it solely as a way to avoid men who cheat on their spouses, I don’t want any part of that. But I’ve been accused of being bigoted towards people in cultures where being openly queer is uncommon or even dangerous.

        yeah I’ve seen that argument but it’s dumb because it boils down to “not sleeping with me means you hate me”

        No dude I just don’t want to be involved in your secret gay bullshit. Not only am I almost certainly being complicit in cheating (most of these guys are married with children too) but you’re guaranteed emotional unavailability with higher chances of domestic violence.

        I will always fight to improve cultural outlook and I do empathize and feel bad for those guys who feel like they need to live a double life; that sounds exhausting. It doesn’t mean I need to entertain their “forbidden” lust.

          DL is “down low”. They intend to be secretive, usually extremely so, and some men can be dangerously (violently) paranoid v

              That’s not an unreasonable guess, frankly.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
