[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8753225, member: 15700"] Something stood out to me. Ernie said (in the context of LGBTQ), "I'm not gonna glorify, but I'm not gonna degenerate either." I grew up in a religious conservative household. He used a phrase my mom (and other members) use often. "Glorify." When Ernie (and other like my mom) say they don't support glorifying a lifestyle, the don't mean the dictionary definition of glorify. They aren't talking about heading down to the PRIDE parade waving a PRIDE flag. They're talking about [I]existing[/I]. The mere representation where they can see or hear it. When they say "I don't support glorifying the trans community" they mean "I don't want to see or hear about them, keep it in the closet." It's this weird thing like, "If I acknowledge it, then I'm glorifying it." 🤷♂️ What Ernie is saying is "As long as I don't have to see or hear them, then I won't degenerate them. Glorify is such a weird word to use anyway, and it's used a lot. No one, not a single person, as ever asked Ernie to glorify the LGBTQ community. But that's the word he (and my mom and others) uses any and every time the topic comes up. It's why they also say things like "I'm not bigoted, I just want to keep politics at the door." but any single representation of LGBTQ in the game suddenly, and automatically, is political. Convenient way to disenfranchise people who belong to that group. When you're making the mere existence of a person political, you can't say "keep politics at the door" without it [I]also [/I]meaning "keep them at the door." [/QUOTE]
