Daan on homophobia

[doublesteveburger]

can you dorks 100% shut up already

[foureyedjim]

There's obviously some truth to this, but it's not likely "asking nicely" to avoid saying offensive things about marginalized groups has really worked out great for them so far. 

People complain about cancel culture, but they put too much onus on the offended to create change in the way that they feel is "correct."  Same with protests, it's always "this is not the way to do it," or "this is not the time or place for that."  But really I think they would rather not have to worry about these issues at all.

Do you guys ever like, stop the homophobes and racists and abusers directly around you in your towns and jobs and families? Or just do it from afar here on Slap based on what you see on Instagram?

nice logical fallacy!

High-fives for everyone!!!! Good job you guys thanks for putting in the overtime on this one

Just curious if you have a pie chart to back up this statement or you’re just going off your own perception?

what does a 75% skater look like? 43%?

(Ex. Kevin is a 65% skater. He can do some
Basic flip tricks consistently, can name everyone on thps, wears thrasher and has atleast one skateboard movie at home)

for example thats how 100% look like

Ah yes, the guy that literally committed a hate crime by participating in killing someone for being gay

[close]

Whoa that’s where I draw the line J Adams died in prison for killing a gay guy? I thought he had a heart attack in Mexico…seriously what he are you saying? he killed somebody and he walked free? I don’t get it!

[close]

He probably should’ve died in prison instead of getting a lighter sentence

Didn't know this about J. Really fucking disappointing to read. Just checked out his RIP thread from when he passed and was equally disappointed by all the dumbasses defending him on there. Thanks for bringing light to it for those of us who weren't aware

Stacey Peralta doesn’t come off great trying to say it wasn’t about the dude being gay. Maybe Stacey is one of the dudes on here asking stupid questions and suggesting we can’t really tell if Daan is a homophobe

[close]

maybe instead of making 15 pages bullshit thread you should ask Daan himself whether he is homophobe or not.

I kinda did, he hasn’t responded.

Actually I specifically asked him if he considered the 95% of heterosexual media as being straight propaganda towards gay people.

I don't not care about karma, rep, number of posts, number of replies, etc.

You’re making a lot of weird assumptions. You need to go outside and talk to a real person. This can’t be good for your mental health. You read as someone who needs LGBT people to be less than, so you can go around with a chip on your shoulder like you accomplished something

I saw a commercial where a ritz cracker popped out ass cheeks and started twerking. Never been more turned on in my life.

In like the 1930s corporations realized sex sells more than information. People are more prone to remember (and want) sexual imagery, and then can sub consciously correlate the feeling of sex with the brand/product. It’s pretty fucked up and wayyy more complex than just described. If daan wants something to be upset about…..

[cherry]

Tbh I’m with the corporations.

Who wants to see a 2 minute commercial of my grandma listing off the nutritional value of ritz crackers. I wanna see some dicks and titties

Malcom X and The Unabomber bother said liberalism will be the downfall of America.

You've definitely just heard this somewhere and you're parroting it without understanding the nature of his comments or the context. I see what you're saying - this is all armchair liberalism that won't amount to anything more than a few privileged people patting themselves on the back for destroying liberties and censoring a white guy. If you were to use Malcolm's quote properly, you'd say something like "let the LGBTQ people decide how to lead their revolution, not some straight liberal trying to control them."

I urge you to reread earlier pages where LGBTQ skaters weighed in and made informative posts. Those posts amount to so much more than "casting judgement" or "throwing stones," despite what @Sleazy thinks is happening here. Other people have tried to explain, generously and very coherently, what the image Daan posted represents and why, if he claims to be anti homophobic, he wouldn't have posted it.

And if that's too much for you, and you still think this is just a meeting ground for people to signal virtue, just leave. people love to make fun of SLAP when they can't get along with others here. You'll have a better time on an alt right forum, might even find Skankiee there.

Since he didn’t apologize by now I’m assuming he’s not going to. I don’t believe in canceling people for opinions and not actions, but I can’t really see myself buying a Daan board anytime soon.

This is exactly it. The idea of "cancelling" someone is so dumb... dude cancelled himself. You cannot sit and blame people for not wanting to support a dude who is bothered by gay couples in Television commercials when we, as a community, are finally starting to see movements like Unity gain traction.

If people still support him, cool! I hope the support he has inevitably lost will spark some introspection on his part.

I don't think you realized by saying this that you're essentially suggesting someone blow up Daan rather than just verbally criticize him.

[Brguy]

You guys must've been lobotomized if you don't think propaganda exists in LGBT, it exists everywhere else in our current society. You fuckers see every day one of the things that are also being blatantly used as a selling point since the 70s but being gay can't possibly be used for this purpose because it might be offensive?

[Alan]

Either people are lobotomized or you're conflating propaganda with corporate advertising.


Edit: I was wondering why there were so many Brazilians in this thread, and I think I now know why. If I'm not mistaken, propaganda has a different meaning in Portuguese than it does in English. I think it's (nearly) synonymous with advertising.

This doesn't make you defending Daan any more acceptable, but at least it explains some of your posts.

[DaleSr]

Corporate advertising is a form of propaganda, but the end goal isn't to turn people gay, but to cynically appeal to progressive values only through representation. Showing gay people exist is the lowest bar to clear and does nothing really for gay rights other than to say "gay people love old navy too!"

Pointing out the hollow gesture of corporate diversity in advertising is not what anyone means when they use the term “LGBTQ propaganda” or “the gay/trans agenda.”

Idk ive see ALOT of people online use the terms anytime theres talk of making previously straight fictional characters gay or introducing a gay or trans characters to shows and movies

People really do have problems with conflating representation with propaganda

Some are just ignorant and parroting talking points, see dynamics change and cant accurately decipher the nuances of societal attitudes changing, others are being purposely deceitful
