Are there? You tell me, I asked you for examples. And even if that was the case, it's comments on an anonymous gaming forum that he will probably never even see, and you can't appropriately judge the emotional response of any given individual without being in their own mind. A completely calm and collected person can curse and it doesn't mean they are "exploding", that word implies an anger or reaction beyond control.
The corncob phase.I see he is on the part of the cycle where he retweets random people that support him
The next step is he starts getting used as a football by people on the right as an example of why "the left" is awful, they will reach out to him with messages of encouragement and shitI see he is on the part of the cycle where he retweets random people that support him
I also grew up without a father and was raised by a same-sex couple, and it has affected me in a negative way rather significantly I'm afraid, but that doesn't mean that such a thing will happen to every man.
I can definitely appreciate trying to change society for the better, and yes, he's wrong and definitely deserves to be called out. I was referring more to the rage - I feel as though it should be possible to make a point without needing to explode on someone, that's all.
And I am definitely not a burner account - I apologize if I've offended anyone in this thread, that was not my intention.
If you could stop telling minorities that they should just deal with oppression so as not to upset the status quo that'd be fan-fucking-tastic.Yep. I'll say it again and hopefully people internalize and process it this time:
"Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good."
Hopefully Terry does better on this subject, and if people give him some space and opportunity, he probably will. Until then, people need to chill. You're frustrated. He's frustrated. He means well and that will bear fruit eventually. Don't stomp out the potential for growth because you don't think it's happening fast enough. Who was the last person you know that had a meaningful change in a week's time? Nobody. People require time. You guys can be hard-headed and mad at everyone and everything, or you can plant seeds of improvement and come back to enjoy harvest time down the road.
That's how real growth and change works, people, and everyone -- including you -- are undoubtedly in need of growth and change on a variety of subjects in your life (you know, the ones you don't talk about much). I hope the people around you give you the time, space, support and patience you'll need to grow up and out of your flaws, shortcomings and life's mis-educations.

Supposedly the actress who plays Rosa talked to him about the original incident. Honestly, I feel bad for her going to work tomorrow.
If you are looking for literal posts, then numbers 11 and 24, although I think that is besides the point. In regards to your second point, yes, it is hard to tell online, because there is no inflection of speech to hear, no body language to read. All I can go by is the text, and it seemed to me that there is significant anger in those posts. I just stated that I wished there were less anger in this world, however I know that is an idealistic view.Are there? You tell me, I asked you for examples.

"He feels like he's being attacked," Crews said during an interview on BuzzFeed News' Twitter morning show AM to DM. "But the truth is, he's not."
"The truth is, Kevin, you're not being attacked," Crews continued. "The truth is you have to just acknowledge what went on and acknowledge the pain of other people. That's all anybody's asking for. That's it."
The sad thing is this wasn't the that long before Terry's own Twitter screw up.

I feel he'd triple down if he already doesn't see what's happening.It's not like he "forgot" he said that, but that he feels that's not his situation, hence why someone should tweet it to him, because seeing his own words my trigger some self reflection.
It's sad how pathetically low the bar has become.If you could stop telling minorities that they should just deal with oppression so as not to upset the status quo that'd be fan-fucking-tastic.
Critical thinking is truly dead, unfortunately.If "My lesbian moms were shitty parents" was a good argument, no heterosexaul couple would be ever allowed to raise kids given the number of shitty heterosexual parents in the world.
Obviously he made a mistake to say something like that - you cannot make blanket statements about, well, anything really, because circumstances are always different - no two lives will ever be the same. The question becomes as to whether to accept his apology and forgive him.
I also grew up without a father and was raised by a same-sex couple, and it has affected me in a negative way rather significantly I'm afraid, but that doesn't mean that such a thing will happen to every man.
Otherwise, again, humanity shows its finest colours by piling on. There is so much anger in this world - I don't understand it, and I don't think I ever will.
terry: *homophobia*
lgbt peeps: terry's statements are extremely hurtful and play into homophobic rhetoric, and the context of him coming from a community where incarceration of fathers does not change the fact that he's still shitting on gay people. also he has said homophobic and transphobic things in the past. i'm tired of giving him second chances when he has shown no sign of changing.
cishets: ugh GOD cancel culture is so ANNOYING can't you gays just SHUT UP
I'm sorry. I did not word what I was trying to say particularly well, and again, I apologize if I've offended anyone here.I was raised by a mum and a dad who did a pretty crummy job.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't understand the angle of this sort of thinking at all.
So it was less "having two parents who are one gender/lacking both a man and a woman as your parents" and more "society is insanely homophobic and bully culture is alive & well".I can assure you that I most definitely was, and I've been bullied and judged my whole life for it.
