@SN0K0PLASM@elaaguara Calling me a ‘dense bigot’ is still just replacing the argument with a label. You already admitted some risk exists and security is needed — so we’re arguing about degree, not whether safety is a factor at all
@SN0K0PLASM@elaaguara You’ve now conceded my actual point 😭 If you agree they should use security and safeguards because some risk exists, then safety clearly isn’t irrelevant. We’re arguing over the degree of risk, not whether risk exists at all
@pheal_of_lesbos At this point you’re not even pretending to address the argument, you’re just workshopping increasingly weird pet-roleplay insults 😭 pick a lane. Honestly just admit you’re a furry 🕺
@pheal_of_lesbos@elaaguara Calling me an ‘AI pet’ because you don’t like my replies is getting embarrassingly repetitive 😭 If you’ve got a point, make it. Otherwise you’re just doing a bit for yourself now.
@l3nnonwho Asked you for one actual argument you think I avoided, and your answer was ‘disgusting bitch.’ 😭 Kind of proves my point better than I ever could
@pheal_of_lesbos@elaaguara Giving ‘Chat’ commands because you’ve decided I’m a bot still isn’t an argument 😭 If you’re done debating the actual point, that’s fine — but pretending I’m AI because I keep answering you coherently is getting very tired
@l3nnonwho@VAMPIREFR3AK Brazil absolutely has strong LGBT protections — I never denied that. But it’s obviously not ‘one of the only countries’ with them: ILGA tracks protections across many jurisdictions worldwide. And Amnesty still reports serious anti-LGBT violence in Brazil.
@SN0K0PLASM@elaaguara You literally said ‘they will be safe’ because they’re white, cis, famous and protected — that’s what I responded to. Their privilege can reduce risk without making it zero. And pointing out that local queer people may face greater danger doesn’t prove Dan and Phil face none
@pheal_of_lesbos@valengogh@phouseinof@elaaguara They’ve mentioned financial feasibility as part of the problem, that still doesn’t prove it’s the only factor. And for the love of god, I’m not a bot 😭 disagreeing with you in complete sentences is not evidence I’m secretly ChatGPT.
@l3nnonwho You keep stating ‘transportation cost is the reason’ like you have insider confirmation. Unless Dan, Phil or their tour team have actually said that, it’s still speculation. My original point was that safety can plausibly be one factor; yours is pretending one explanation is fact
@l3nnonwho If I’m ‘avoiding arguments,’ name one specific point you think I haven’t answered. I’ve responded to safety, laws, the US comparison, Singapore, Brazil, Argentina, logistics and cost. ‘Tiny brain’ is still just an insult filling the space where an actual example should be.
@l3nnonwho I have been talking about the US repeatedly. I’ve said multiple times that I think there are serious safety concerns there. You not reading those replies doesn’t mean they don’t exist — it just means you’re arguing with a version of my position you haven’t been bothered to check
@l3nnonwho Calling people dumb after they give you a clear distinction still isn’t a rebuttal 😭 If you’ve got an actual counterargument to the evidence, make it. Otherwise you’re just replacing substance with insults.
@pheal_of_lesbos@elaaguara Exactly — that’s about the content of the show, not proof that simply performing there is illegal. Singapore’s rules can restrict/classify LGBTQ+ content without making ‘two gay men on stage’ automatically unlawful. You’re proving the distinction I made, not disproving it.
@l3nnonwho Being Australian means I don’t have your lived experience; it does not mean I’m incapable of reading laws, reports, crime data or travel guidance about another country. ‘You’re Australian so you know nothing’ is still just dismissing the speaker instead of rebutting the point
@VAMPIREFR3AK@phanismo Exactly. If you know I don’t speak Portuguese and you deliberately use an expression that translates as sexualised abuse, you don’t then get to act shocked that I understood it as harassment. If the nuance matters, explain it before weaponising the ambiguity
@esnupitri Calling it ‘ignorance’ without identifying a single factual error is doing a lot of heavy lifting 😭 Anti-LGBTQ+ laws, hostile policing and violence does exist in some countries. If you think that statement is wrong, point to the part that’s false.
@VAMPIREFR3AK@phanismo Knowing Portuguese doesn’t make your interpretation correct, and not speaking it doesn’t stop me responding to what was said to me. ‘Gringo’ isn’t a magic argument either if the translation missed nuance, explain the nuance instead of using nationality as a substitute for a point
