So Facebook

Thrillho:
So I found a page on Facebook called 'heterophobia awareness month.'

Yes, apparently there are groups of straight folks who feel like they are oppressed by gays. No, really.

Anyway, I was in a terrible mood, and I needed something to rage at, so I basically asked them on their wall when they first had homosexual thoughts, because as all films and television shows have taught me, all homophobes ever are only homophobic because they themselves are gay. Cough.

No, I'm not proud of it, I was in a foul mood and it was a waste of my own time to bother with troublemaking anyway.

But the point is, one thing led to another and on their wall I jokingly said 'I hate white people.'

Facebook promptly blocked my account temporarily and said that if I was racist again I'd be barred from using the service.

 :?

I am a profoundly middle class white boy. Closest I am to a minority is that I'm 1/8th Jewish. That's it. And I got a racism warning for hating white people.

OKAY.

This may not have warranted a new thread but none of the others seemed to match it and I'm bored

But Facebook doesn't know that; the Internet is a safer place if you assume everything you say will be taken literally and used against you.  Also, it's not like a remark in the pub that dies and is forgotten - everything is liable to stay on line for ever, regardless of how embarrassing it is, especially then.  You get used to it in the end...

There's prominent female tea party members who doesn't think women should vote, so it's not impossible that there's white dudes that hates whites.

Thrillho:
I'm actually more surprised that it's this comment that pushed them over the edge  :-D

TheEvilDog:
I'm pretty much done with Facebook, the only reason I still use it is because of the Avengers game on there and my sister is posting photos up while she's in the States. The rest is just drivel and to be honest, most of my friends, I already talk to on a regular basis anyway, and the ones I can't see? I chat with messengers.

Facebook was a novelty and interesting to begin with, but now people are moving on to the likes of Tumblr and now you have the likes of these "heterophobia awareness month" being left behind. It's tedious, boring and marks the end of the site.
