TMZ reports:

Manny Pacquiao is a “fucking idiot” — so says “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Dave Bautista … who says he’s EXTREMELY offended by the boxer’s anti-gay comments because his mom’s gay. The former WWE superstar — who also happens to be Filipino — went off on Pacman at LAX. “My mom happens to be a lesbian so I don’t fucking take that shit. I don’t think it’s funny. If anyone called my mother an animal I’d stick my foot in his ass.”

I wonder why people who seem to have a great life (except getting pummeled in the ring must make him grumpy) vent like this?

Does he really hate gays that much? Or was he looking for a channel to vent and this was easy? Would he have smack his kids, kicked his dog or insulted his wife that day instead if he did not very intensely attack gays?

I am not a fan of (excessively) saying that these outbursts mean the person has a completely fundamental bigotry. People are strange and totally contradictory. Look at Alec Baldwin with his gay slurs to paparazzi.

What is the worst slurring (even just in your head or under your breath) of a demographic group you have done Potoooooooo? On this I would say to include, short people, fat people, elderly and so on. Not just the LGBT and racial groups.

Mine is saying nigger (about blacks), or faggot when I have gotten riled up. It has been a while since that has happened, which is good.

But to say a person is a Hitler because of outbursts (which I contend are a form of emotional "epilepsy") is not rational. Hitler, even after have a nice walk in the park, massage, dinner and quickie with Eva was probably still excited to kill Jews.

How do you think Manny compares to Steven Anderson?




OK, let me give a different example about some psychological game I play with myself. I feel like I am not very consequential in my daily life and so on. So, I sometimes read about terrible judges or prosecutors and also jury nullification. I get worked up into a lather and imagine how I will drop the nullification bomb during jury selection. It is some kind of reaction to my societal impotence, driving me to read about this stuff. Not entirely bad, maybe I should donate to FIJA. But there also something not good about this delusion I get into.

Let me back up and say that hatred (or scapegoat venting) of gays is different from hatred of other ethnic groups, because one usually is not conflicted about what their ethnicity is.

Also, I am not interested so much in the sociology or politics of what Manny said, but in the psychology (on a brain centers level) of why he said it.

Obviously, there are gradations of bigoted actions and speech, and I would agree that some bigoted statements don't reflect bigotry in the person's thoughts.
The latter is exemplified by emotional reactions where a specific person is being insulted and some obvious feature of them is used as an attack. In a fight with a person who happens to be gay, calling them a fag in the heat of the moment can by no different psychologically than calling someone a "fat slob" or "short piece of shit", despite having no general animosity toward fat or short people. Its a low hanging fruit in trying to hurt them emotionally that can be resorted to even by a person who acts and speaks in only positive supportive ways of homosexuals as a group. IFAIK, Baldwin falls into this camp, though he does have general anger issues.

However, Manny is arguably closer to the pastor calling for killing gays than he is to Baldwin. Manny made his comment in a calm and sober moment and he made it about gays in general, not an insult toward a particular person who happened to be gay. He has backed off the "animal" part, but defended his bigotry in general and "after a nice walk in the park", still advocates treating homosexuals as sub-human and taking away their basic rights, no matter the harm to them. Like all people that oppose full equal rights for gays, his views are rooted in hateful bigorty toward a group of people in general and causes those people serious harm. It is short of calling for killing them, but closer in its psychological roots to that than it is to only calling specific people you are in a fight with (and maybe have good reason to hate) a slur tied to some obvious feature about them.

What? No one is going to accuse Bautista of being a "social justice warrior"?

I admire the restraint of the conservative and libertarian members of this forum.

Bautista isn't inventing instances of injustice where no evidence of one exists, or advocating for the government trampling of basic liberties as a solution to instances of bigotry.

And that's different from the other times you complain about "social justice warriors" how, exactly?

 

[repoman]

Can we get Trump to start throwing out the term Social Justice Warrior? That would be interesting.

C'mon, you people didn't fool anyone with that exact same argument when you tried applying it to the "politically correct" phrase. Why do you honestly think this argument will become valid just because you slightly changed the phrasing from "politically correct" to "social justice warrior"?

Are you trying to fool us, or yourself?
