Re: Arguments you hate

...damn, I thought this was going to be a more fannish thread.

I'll say mine anyway.

The argument that Vulcans are probably against homosexual relationships because they're "not logical". Because the only logical relationships are ones that can make babies. I get what they're saying but I don't like the implication that reproduction is the only reason for a relationship, and it feels like they're projecting their hangups on a fictional alien culture. I just wish people could be more creative with this.

It's not quite as stupid as the "Bajorans are probably homophobic because they're so religious" argument. Like if you paid any attention to what we see of Bajoran religion you'd know it's nothing like right-wing Christianity or other really strict religions. It's all about love and acceptance and following your own path.

Ferengi are homophobic af though and I really want some fic about closeted Ferengi visiting seedy establishments and paying high prices for discretion I mean wait what were we talking about

More serious answer, I hate it whenever someone accuses X group of "whining". I see this all the time now in fandom discussions and real political discussions and I think it's a really great way to close yourself to any new perspective while completely devaluing entire groups of people. Also, at the risk of being called a hypocrite, it makes you sound like the whiney one. If I see "__ are just whining" in any discussion that's my cue to disengage. At that point there's just no getting through to the other side--they've made up their minds and they're not going to hear it.

I strongly suspect Klingon attitudes toward anybody being gay is "we don't care who you fuck as long as you have honor and are good at kicking ass" but a lot of Trekkers have taken issue with this.

ayrt - OMG. I don't think I've even read anything about Klingons but yours makes...perfect sense! I'm sure I don't want to know what their argument is, it'll just make my blood pressure go through the roof.
