I agree with this, and maybe it can be a doorway to talk about how most people on here regard the LBTQIA *note the missing G* as a joke, yet gay males are the greatest things ever.

Dike (mythology), the Greek goddess of moral justice

Let's just remove the pejorative meaning of the word and get to the Greek instead.

And using DIKE and MANLY to "insult" P!nk is not hateful towards lesbians how again?

How is being manly an insult? People are saying she's strong and brawny. That's to be admired not shunned. Tbh I think you P!nk stans are the real ones with the problem with what she's comfortable with.

didn't you see the " " ?
Coz they do try to use it in order to insult her! And stop trolling please

[aloirt]

Words obviously depend on context.

For example:

"Gurls, get yo dikey ass in here, P!nk collab with Lady Gaga leaked. "

Is different than

"P!nk is such a disgusting dike."

I don't mind the names being thrown around, but only if it's in good nature and not used with the intent of shaming a group.

You know what? I know you are trolling - but from now on this is the answer i am gonna give to haters (much like you)

[Igrt]

I agree with this but it's not going to stop.

If members on here can't even stop being racially insensitive, what makes you think they are going to stop making lesbn/fish jokes?

Oh, shut up. Do you know how badly that kind of statement reflects on us as a community?

All the OP wants is the liberty to discuss pop music online in a bigotry- free community. Now, will ATRL ever be COMPLETELY hate free? Probably not, but the least we can do is try to make it as welcoming as possible. Watch what we say on here, be sensitive to others, that sort of thing.

But what you're essentially saying is, "We, as a community, would rather alienate all of our lesbian members than change our ways. If they're offended, they can all piss off, because quite frankly, we value the freedom to spread bigotry more than we value their contributions to the forum."

Screw that.

On a side note, I'm pretty sure that the anti-lesbian slur is spelled '****', not 'dike'.

EDIT: See? D-y-k-e got censored.

Definitely.

Thank you for making this statement. It is NEVER okay to lay hate words on ANYONE, and ATRL out of all places should know that.

That's another thing, ATRL has an obsession with masculine (or as they call it "straight acting") gay guys, which is hilarious because most of the members here are probably on the feminine side in real life. Y'all act like a feminine gay guy is the anti christ or something.

I so agree and have noticed how people group masculine with straight and work so hard to find their approval. But i'm not surprised sometimes people suffer from self hate

Modern Family can explain you why

[H2o]

I've never said anything negative about lesbians on here or in real life. Also I don't usually see any kind of anti-lesbian sentiment here on ATRL so I don't understand the problem. I've seen racism all the time but against lesbians? Ummmm

AMEN!

****ing disgraceful some of the things that you pathetic hypocrites have said.

Lesbians are so awesome it makes me sad that they are so ignored in the LGBT community sometimes. My best friend is a lesbian I don't know what I'd do without ha

[MrPeanut]

I am not about to read through eight pages devoted to lesbians. So pardon if this line of discussion has already been beaten to death, but my two cents are that it is almost entirely in jest (I love plenty of lesbians and don't even really hate P!nk), and if you wanna talk about it being "hypocritical" of gays to make fun of her for being such a rug-muncher, you may also have noticed that gay guys themselves get dragged here and made fun of all the time. Moreover, why this particular thing should be off-limits to joking when this place is pretty ruthless toward other stars about much more significant/hurtful things on a daily basis is beyond me.

Madonna - Ageism
Beyonce - Racism
Britney - Mental Illness
Rihanna - Domestic Abuse
Katy - Child Discrimination
Adam Lambert - F@ggotry
Gaga - Transphobia
Taylor Swift - **** Shaming
Christina - Alcoholism
Demi - Self-Mutilation
Kelly Clarkson - Obesity
Whitney - Drug Addiction
Janet - Islamophobia
Ke$ha - Poverty/Birth Defects

People are made fun of on here for any and every conceivable physical trait, even ones beyond their control, for their background, culture, wealth, success, personal tragedies, physical or mental health, and even cause of death. But yes, in the midst of all this, implying that P!nk is a Friend of Ellen is taking things *too* far. Gawd, lighten up.

[Ichinaru19]

Well personally I never said those type of comments but thank you for bringing this up. To me this seems a bit like sexism but without people noticing it. You made plenty of valid points so I hope people pick up on this, but there have also been moments on ATRL where a guy would be extremely feminine and people would joke about it (videos).
