Why is it ok to be afraid of clowns but not drag queens?

[Army of GOD]

I don't want to sound transphobic, or whatever the term for this is, but this is an important topic.

I find drag queens to be scarier than clowns. I am not trying to say that they are evil (I don't know any personally) nor am I saying I disagree with their lifestyle. I am just saying that they look fucking horrifying.

If I woke up with this thing standing over my bed I would shit my pants and then die of heart attack



Also, don't use this thread to bash LGBT causes

The kids in the picture don't seem afraid. That might be a start.

[armati]

is that a clown or drag queen?
could be both I guess.

[karel]

[HitRed]

Where's Symm on this?

[DoomYoshi]

being afraid of drag queens is, by definition, transphobic. And there is nothing wrong with that.

[tzor]

That's not a "drag queen" that's a drag nightmare.
Now, take Sushi ... she's a real queen ...

Sushi in a Shoe, the best New Year's Eve drop in Key West.

these kind of freaks are discussing,and she not be able to flaunt that shit in public

"these kind of freaks are discussing,and she not be able to flaunt that shit in public"
Im assuming you meant disgusting?

I disagree, maybe she /he is in costume for a play he/she is acting in. A horror show if it is.

But my thought really was the band "kiss" pretty close make up.
Alice cooper, Im sure there are more im forgetting.

If a person wants to run around like that fine, I've seen lots of people dressed as what I would say was "freaky".
But this person, gotta be dressed for a part in a play or sumtin, how could he/she get close to kids otherwise?

I suppose she /he could be selling books and its a promotion.

If he/she asked if he/she could buy you a drink what would ya say?

Hey f*ck you. You don't want to be transphobic, why is that? I have the right to be uncomfortable in front of non-binary people. Should I feel bad about it? No. We have the right to feel uncomfortable.
The other day I saw an interview between Jordan Peterson and another professor from his university that was actually a transgender (woman to man).
Quite honestly, I would have a problem with that. I would feel too uncomfortable to attend classes with a transgender professor. I would have no problem if the professor was gay and speak quite manerly even if the voice would annoy me. But a transgender professor would be way too weird. You just look at the face and you see the other sex and a person dressed up. You can't take them seriously.

Drag queens don't bother me. People with pierced lips and shit like that are truly revolting.

im fed up with these mental ill people telling me what i should like,well got 2 words from them...fook off.if some trans freak got in my face and told me i was a racist cuz i do not believe in what they view,i would prolly throat punch the pos,but then again if you dare insult these freaks it would be a hate crime.once again the normal people lose again,thx crazy nut bag lefties

hmm...sounds about right, yep.

It's "all right" to have any phobia. Some people are afraid of spiders, doesn't mean it's the spiders' fault. Being scared of clowns doesn't man clowns are bad. Me, I'm a little nervous of moths for some reason... something to do with the way they move. I'm totally aware this is irrational.

Three old fossils, ah ah ah.

Negrophobia is a dislike or fear of black people. Presume you have no problem with that one either?

Read the rest of what I said.
Some people are afraid of balloons.
Me, i'm phobophobic. the only thing I have to fear is fear itself.

These scare me. One area of the ranch has a massive oak tree. They come out in the hundreds at dusk.

[mrswdk]

So you are saying no, you have no problem with someone being afraid of black people?

[jonesthecurl]

Not if they recognise that it's irrational and don't try to justify it.

[riskllama]

like brian, from family guy!

[mrswdk]

What if someone recognizes they're a racist and doesn't try to justify it?

ITT: jones is fine with discrimination, as long as the discriminator says 'I'm irrational'
