Why is it that there is a number of posts on Off Topic about trans people (and other LGBTQ+ people), all muslims being terrorists (and stuff about other religions) and just straight up jerks?
Every time I see a post on Trans people I see a majority of people saying things about them having a mental disorder, they should be forced to stick with an identity they are uncomfortable with, etc.
Every time I see a post on Muslim people there is always people that shit talk the entire religion and don't even give the people a chance. Some people say stuff like "I would burn the Quran!" But my question is would you do the same to the bible to another religious artifact or book? (Well maybe if your an Atheist, but at least the majority of Atheists I know still respect peoples choice to religion)
Why are so many people here jerks? I thought that on Offtopic everyone was all nice and was a family that chilled at the buffet and snuck out like 20 plates of food by shoving it into someones backpack or purse.
If your one of the nice people on Offtopic that respect all Religions, think that LGBTQ+ people should be treated equal, and that people should stop being jerks please say something. I'd love to meet you all :)
Also everyone does have a freedom of speech. But can we please keep it civil and just respect everyones choices and be nice to each other?
EDIT: I didn't expect many responses (Seeing that Im not a big Offtopic guy) but wow. Its cool to see who are actually good people on this site. Also I think we are trending, we're like #6. Is that trending? I wouldn't know because I don't follow these forums, but if it is then that means its my first trending post!
EDIT: A lot of cool people. Im not sure if many people agree with me/like me lol

This place used to a far more tolerant and happy to embrace diversity. Pay the bigots no heed: they need reaction to survive. Without it, they wither into self-loathing piles of worthless mumblings.
-
People love to flex their cyber muscles because they get to say things that will earn them a punch in the nose irl
-
I don't even recognize most people in off-topic now, I just want to say that this is how the internet is. Most people act tough or different online because of anonymity & it's best to ignore it & move on
-
Why are you a sensitive bitch
-
Is the answer because i touch myself?
-
ur just butthurt

Offtopic has always been an autism wind tunnel. The funny shitposting dried up in 2014 so all it was left with was needlessly contrarian people looking for the shittest possible way to rustle jimmies, and 3 or so 'promonent' users who pioneered the babby's first edgy political opinion meme to the point where everybody followed suit and has been kicking a dead horse for nearly 2 years now.

Edited by Cap: 9/18/2016 6:00:25 PMPeople just don't seem to have a filter on the Internet, because everyone is anonymous. Most people who believe that stuff about Muslims and trans people are just very narrow minded. They have grown up being taught by their parents that it's ok to dismiss a bunch of assumptions as fact, just cause back when their parents were kids it's how the world viewed these people. Break the cycle, respect others, everyone is human no matter their religious beliefs or sexual orientation. Just cause they are different than yours, not all Muslims are extremists, trans people really are uncomfortable in the body they were born with. Get over it.

As another user said the majority of this site are teenage conservatives who are generally unlikeable I'm real life, so they act super edgy here to gain some sort of social standing.
-
Because Offtopic tends to be conservative and doesn't give a shit about your sensitive liberal feelings
-
Because it's the Internet and people can do as they please.
-
Because fuсk you. That's why.
-
Its fun to be a douche

Welcome to the internet, Leave now with ur sanity
-
Good one. You almost got me, buckaroo.
-
85% trolling, 10% Everyone's actual opinions, 5% -blam!- YOU GTFO ****** ***
-
Anonymity.
-
Hmm well I guess you'll just have to SHUT THE FÚCK UP
-
Because this forum is full of edgy teenagers like myself
-
Because Feminism is Cancer
-
Because if they say something shitty they won't get a heavy punch in the nuts. I can almost guarantee most of the people on here won't act the same in real life.
-
Because this is the big bad internet and on the big bad internet are big bad internet people.

The overwhelming majority of people here are "edgy" 15-year old virgins who do nothing but sit on their asses all day. So it shouldn't be much of a surprise.
