FORUMS > Gay News & Events Forum Rules

Jerebear saidI dont know. I think back to the pre-internet gay bar, or pre-internet gay coffee shops, or pre-internet personals sections in gay publications, etc. I dont recall any of those being all that welcoming to men of the non-perfect variety.

I find its the other way around. Social media has offered the ordinary gay guy much more oppurtunity to escape the isolation of their perceived inadequacies and connect.

This. Gay society has never been known for its inclusiveness. The Internet and related technologies make it easier to be nasty, but it really hasn't changed all that much. This site is a perfect example of that.

If people are sensitive about things like that, they should stay away from apps that could possibly have detrimental affects on them because of bullying. Simple as that.

braddomo saidYeah. this is sad about the gay community. That is why I never approach or text someone. I wait for them to make the move.

That's a good policy which I've adopted. Although it doesn't always work. I've actually gotten several very nasty messages from people who I've never even talked with before. Evil people will find a way to be mean to you even if you don't reach out to them. It's actually stunning to think about how many miserable, mean-spirited people there are out there. I've pretty much gotten rid of all the apps and the only gay site I come to is RJ and I don't even do that as often as I used to. I only come here because it was one of the few gay sites where I found some guys who were good and decent. But it's not just gay sites. Have you been to the bodybuilding forums? Or read the comment sections on youtube or news sites? People are just horrible.

If a person has to resort to bullying a fellow gay person then that is their insecurity and they need to grow up.

Everyone's a bitch these days.

Not only has the internet desensitized us but television has as well. One thing I didn't like about the prior series "Will and Grace" was how they trained American audience viewers to find humor in tearing up another person with insults.

People emulate behavior they see on television or through websites like Grinder and have no remorse for treating another person like shit. As far as they're concerned they seem to believe it's their right.

If you can't deal with people being a bitch to you then don't install an app that is solely used for vanity purposes.

Is it ironic that gays are bullying other gays? No...because many people don't fall under the banner of "I swear not to bully and to accept everything."

If I wanted to I could get bullied by straights, bi's, gays, lesbians..easily. Human nature. Also, Will and Grace is the cause of all evil.

Well we certainly see this blatant discrimination on real jock all the time. And maybe the moderators should take action and maybe do something about it, like the manager of MISTER.

One finds in amusing that the OP should site this topic since I have been a target of his bulling and bastardisations for a number of years now, just because I don't see things his way like my sexuality defining me as a whole. Oh I may of talked back to him, but he certainly started the abuse, as well tryed to put labels on me that had been put on his comrades, out of his blinding hate.

Big hugs to all the polite, pleasant spirited people on this board and through out RJ. Reading all these post lifted my spirits

Fuck these broken record statements again!
