Ah, yes, Riker Slade - spawn of 21st century "everything is okay" mindset and social justice warrior #1 on NarutoBase. I'll reply only once because I've read enough of your posts to know what kind of stuff I should expect.

Might be because of the amount of people who have been killed, ostracized, and dropped into severe distress for being gay.
Oh, we going back to the dark ages now? Because I don't remember this being the case since 2000 and beyond, so you might want to check a calendar. In fact, I'd say 2010-2012 were ideal in terms of everything homo-oriented - gays weren't ostracized, killed or "dropped into severe distress", but then again, they weren't the special little snowflakes they want to be right now. Everyone just kept to themselves and truly lived like they wanted to live, truly loved themselves, without having to try and instill this notion onto every other person with a different orientation.

Probably because there's people like patrickscott who doesn't think that kids who might be experiencing feelings that aren't heterosexual should be told that it's okay, and that instead should be told that feelings that they can't control somehow makes them wrong. People who think that when a child is struggling with their identity, you condemn them for how and what they feel even though it's completely natural and it's fine.
If they experience those feelings naturally, and have not been influenced by social media in the slightest, only then is it not wrong... entirely. Kids' mentality is extremely easy to influence, and since this topic is, mildly put, on the lips of a lot of people living in first-world countries, plus the fact that kids naturally crave attention, they might decide it's just cool to be "something everyone else isn't". That probably sounds extremely appealing to them, now that I read it again. Did you watch the video? Did you see how many kids and teens are there?
Now, why did I say "entirely" earlier? Because I'm not about to take biology lessons by a kid whose hormones that are making him rediscover his world and undoubtedly make him think he's the center of it all, that his feelings somehow change it all, and that it's compulsory everyone agree and accept it. Sorry, but a young boy with painted nails and his parents' camera sitting there saying how I
should accept it all just because I'm not like him/her isn't my idea of a concept-changing matter.

Probably because there are people whose parents disown and treat them like shit because they aren't cis and heterosexual.
Again with the extremists arguments. You know how little parents there are actually like this? Most of the times, the parents are just initially disappointed, while in time they somewhat accept it. "Disown and treat them like shit" means little when you can put that transformed sentence to counter any argument by pointing out a small percentage that is not applicable in any way to what was said.

These videos are for all of the kids who've killed themselves because their own parents and elders continuously tell them that they're unnatural and wrong and vilify them for something that's just as fine as heterosexuality can see that they're not actually so bad in hopes that such a faith doesn't fall on another poor gay kid.
Christ, where do you come up with this stuff? I'm well aware there are cases of suicide due to rejection of nature, but you make it seem like every kid who's had an eyebrow raised at them when he/she came out of the closet will immediately put a rope around their neck. In fact, I haven't heard of this being even close to the leading cause of suicide among young ones. 42k kids die every year in the US - how many of those are due to what you said?
Just as fine as heterosexuality? No. Still fine? Yes.
Riker Slade said:
Go ahead, you'll still be wrong.
Oh, please. As if you have absolutely any merit whatsoever. Especially you. Just keep spouting your BS how a pregnant "guy" is = a heterosexual male in normalcy.
Riker Slade said:
So because something wouldn't have been seen as okay 2-3 years ago means it's bad now?
Can you read? 2-3 years ago, nobody cared if you're gay. 2-3 years ago, gays didn't try to force-feed you that information and silently scream that you either accept it or... well, there is no "or", and that's the current problem. Hell, why am I even saying gays? Homosexuals were long-since accepted, it's those I-don't-know-what-I-am types that are ridiculous.

So because something wouldn't have been seen as okay 2-3 years ago means it's bad now? By this logic, people who were activists for civil rights in segregated America were wrong because 2-3 years before the movement started, whites won't have let blacks near their water fountains or schools, so maybe we should go back those too, right?
I have no idea how you can associate color of skin with something like misused gender definition, nor do I see how grown men defending their rights to inhabit certain places just because they are of a different,
established race equates to a YouTube video of a bunch of kids and people of an extreme minority who clearly want to enforce their beliefs. The fact that you think pregnant guy equals African-Americans having the right to visit social places in importance is... appalling, to say the least, and it just speaks how fuсked the views and priorities of more and more people are becoming. That, or you're just incapable of setting anything apart and would list everything as an example for the sake of having something to write.

You say this like human beings are limited by their nature and biology. Let's ignore the fact that we've reached the scientific progress to alter our biology to be closer to the other *** and could very continue to do so, and people have still defied nature and biology for the sake of our own benefit. Half the basis of technology is getting around what we naturally are incapable of doing.
Interestingly enough, I completely forgot to include that in my initial post, which this paragraph reminded me. It's funny how these confused yet not confused people slander science, only to forget that its only thanks to it that they can come close to whatever mixture of man and woman they feel like they should be.
Anyway, first line is ridiculous. Nature doesn't limit us only because here is no clear nature set for either male or female, only a stereotypical one - both can act like the opposite ***, constantly or at times, without having a different sexual orientation or defining themselves as one or the other, both or none, e.g feminine guys and masculine females. In no way does this prove anything you said. Limited by biology, because
nothing you, Riker, or any other male on the planet can do to become a female in the truest sense. You were born as a guy/girl you'll stay one until you die. That's not just me talking, it's two millenia of that fact. Us having the technology to kind of alter our gender means little when even the best results are... let's say apparent. Even then, they just can't stop themselves for seeking attention. Tsk, tsk.

Because there are people who will continue to vilify and harass people for being these things.
More unfounded extremism. You basing all of this on middle school playground events? Because most mature people are way above that.
Riker Slade said:
As long as there are people who vilify these people for being these things, then there has to be people who talk about it. The reason they "shove it down your throat" is for all of the people whose lives were ruined because of people shoving their homophobia, bigotry, and intolerance down their throats. So no, until people like you stop denouncing the validity of them, then there will be people who remind them that they are valid
At this point I'll just ignore your umpteenth generalization of "people who's lives were ruined" slash "hurr, many suicides" slash "oppress and vilify" which are based on what I'm assuming is years of your personal experience and thoroughly researched statistics? Because the time where gays were viewed with complete disdain and repulsiveness are long gone, pal. Stop trying to overblow the issue.
As I've already said, I am in no way obligated to accept anything that I don't view as right or valid, just because you, or a bunch of confused individuals telling me there are more than two genders tell me it is. Thankfully, it seems like more people than not realize that this is hardly valid in any way, while it's too bad YouTube can't control likes and dislikes and can only reject disagreement by deleting comments, something which you seem to be totally okay with, for all your freedom boasting. I really have nothing else to add.
Riker Slade said:
Yes, how dare they disagree with what they see and put their foot down when this world is going in the wrong direction? Everything must be accepted, am I right? My issue isn't even that they are who they think they are, far from it - it's that they're trying to popularize it and make it seem a-okay (which it hardly is), while seemingly leaving no room for disagreement.
Can't wait until 2050, when you'll be defending confused wackos that identify as animals who screw their dog everyday and defending their rights.
