So, I may have had a few bevvies and be a bit less reserved than usual, but I have a take.
If you hate trans people you are a spineless sycophant choosing the most acceptable, marginalised punchbag on the planet. @Toffee_Loaf
Also, my further stance is, I don’t think GoT mods should be allowing people like Loaf, (or Oddball / the monthly adversus) to exist in this space when they are outright spouting rhetoric which is tantamount to hate crimes.
I get that Current Affairs is less moderated, which is fine with reasonable political disagreements.
However @Toffee_Loaf as an example has been spouting genuinely really offensive transphobic and homophobic rhetoric for a while now, and I don’t think it belongs on this site, nor do I understand why it’s been allowed to continue.

Not to be seen 'playing the ref' here as I think the mod team in general do a good job on this forum, it does irk me that people get away with such openly transphobic hatred on here.
I get there should be room for the gritty end of discussing the big topics of the day, but I have seen people throw words like 'tranny' around which is an outright slur:
Tranny
“Tranny” was originally a term used by transgender people to refer to themselves.However, over time it started to be used differently - by people who did not consider themselves transgender, to refer to transgender people pejoratively.
As a result, it is now normally considered a slur and to be offensive, but some people who adopted the “tranny” identity in the past still use it. Others have also attempted to reappropriate the term by using it to describe themselves positively.

If you are dropping the N word, calling people f*gs or m*ngs on here, you will be rightly reprimanded, I think this should also be added to the list.

Absolutely, toffee oaf used the phrase 'weird trannies' the other day when he was implying gay/trans people want to see naked children in a Pride parade. Shocked that was deemed acceptable.Not to be seen 'playing the ref' here as I think the mod team in general do a good job on this forum, it does irk me that people get away with such openly transphobic hatred on here.

This is the crux of it for me. Todays trans people are yesterdays, gays, black,Asian Jewish people. People like toffee-oaf would have been in here If possible 50 years ago targeting blacks, 30 years ago targetting gays and a 100 years ago Jewish people.
It’s what they do, they need a vehicle for their hate and they jump on the bandwagon with the other near heads.
The odd thing about the trans hate is that there are actually so few of them and they have so little involvement in society yet the cis gammons make out like they are taking over
They are the real sheep
Agree entirely, bigotry hiding in semantics and ignoring context is the plague of many a forum.
Some genuinely dangerous, hateful bale is spouted by these oafs and such folk were rightly banned for dangerous misinformation during the pandemic.

I can’t say I browse the forum and different topics in depth so off hand I can’t think of anything outright transphobic but I have reported a few comments. For me the light hearted stuff of which there’s a lot of it is just as bad. “It’s just a joke” isn’t an excuse. I bet the majority of the people posting the light hearted stuff probably aren’t transphobic but posting it feeds into the acceptance of any of it. Bottom line it might not be offensive to us but a trans person coming across the “joke” wouldn’t find it funny.
Bit of a tangent, seeing Americans call everyone a snowflake over offence by something say this light hearted jokey trans stuff. Joke about taking away their guns and see how funny they find that. They’ll probably raise a militia. Nobody can tell somebody else they don’t find something offensive or what they should find offensive.

I understand what you're saying but disagree that making jokes is just as bad. Jokes can be offensive sometimes. Offense isn't legal currency. Scousers get the piss taken out of them for being thieves. I personally don't care, but others do. Obese people, little people, old people, are still openly targeted for jokes and people seem less bothered about their "rights" because they're not a popular marginalised group.
For me, it's about common sense. You can tell when someone is taking the piss or having a joke and when someone is just a hateful moron. If we start saying you can joke about some groups but not others, there is no equality.
No need for that. Gareth Bale is a fine role model for today's youth, he does a lot for charities.
His pro golf stance needs banning
