The argument is “Muslim majority countries tend to criminalize homosexuality so you shouldn’t support Palestine because it’s likely to do the same”. The current state of gay rights there isn’t relevant to the argument and not what I’m trying to draw a parallel to with the comparison.

It’s a Christian majority though, which is in line with the argument as presented.

Apologies I didn’t mean to imply you were supporting the argument. I could have phrased it better to make that clearer.

That’s a more coherent argument I suppose but it’s a pretty racist one. There’s no shortage of Christian majority nations where homosexuality is criminalized. Would the people making that argument feel the same way about Ukraine for example?

It’s not as if the Jewish view of homosexuality is significantly different from Islam’s. If the only proof they have of anti queer sentiment comes from there fact that there are radical Islamists among them then that same brush could be used to paint Israel just as easily.

Unless you’re expecting a third game in a series.

The game is like 90% content that I enjoy with a small annoyance I can skirt around by reading a few wiki pages. I come to these games for satisfying combat, not obtuse quest lines you can miss without precognition.

The ones they dropped into the ocean causing people to drown trying to retrieve them or the ones they dropped on top of crowds of people, crushing them?

The fact that Israel suggested the pier to begin with should have tipped everyone off. The lack of aid getting into Gaza is not due to a logistical problem, you can’t solve it through haphazardly slapped together shipping infrastructure. Especially when that infrastructure already existed; does anyone think Gaza didn’t already have a suitable pier? Even if they didn’t there’s tons of aid sitting at the southern border behind lines of Israeli settlers protesting it.

Specific aspects of gender roles are what toxic masculinity criticizes, you’re trying to substitute a general term for a more specific one. Toxic masculinity specifically refers to the ones that are toxic, not the fact that men have gender roles at all. It’s, like you said, right there in the name.

My dude, scenes from a Barbie movie are not representative of an entire political movement and I really don’t think your interpretation of those scenes makes for any kind of proof of your claims.

Do you have anything demonstrating the feminist movement supports this shit:

The Duluth Model of determining domestic violence another example. Child support is another. The banning of paternity testing is yet another

Or are you just labeling these things as feminist because you do that with everything you perceive as misandrist?
