Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It's because his shirt has rainbow colored lightning bolts on it. Homophobes are terrified of rainbows.

Holy shit that's such a small thing I didn't even notice until just now.

I shouldn't be surprised, my brother in law flipped his shit when his kids wouldn't stop sending the word "color" on their family group chat because rainbows fly around the screen. Went on a big tirade about how nobody should be "celebrating the 7 sins"

If I had been present, I'd love to have asked him to clarify which of the sins he means, because I have a good idea but I want him to say it out loud so I can argue about it.

Wait, people actually think that's what the pride sin is about? I thought that was just a meme.
