EDIT: I took a look at the youtube channel that made the video that UR is linking, it's a bit vacuous and platitudinous, but here's a video of most Russians in Moscow being willing to help Ukrainian refugees.

Note the usual inter-ethnic shitflinging between Ukrainians and Russians in the comment section.

Show me a youtube video without shitflinging of some sort in the comments and I'll wash your car for a year.

thing is, you need to buy me a car first

i have no real need for one but be my guest

Do you use public transport instead?

Apparently if you have a "sex disorder", that's the only mode of transportation available to you in Russia now. Is this real?

I... would take that with several grains of salt as that sounds too ridiculous.

Saw it in a German newspaper as well. Didn't read the article though, just noted the headline.
Also, look at 65.5, Knit: It doesn't just apply to those weird creeps, but to us regular creeps, too!

Seriously, why is Russia so hated for its infringement of LGBT rights when it doesn't even ban homosexualism, unlike several of the United fucking States of freedom-shitting America?


Oh yeah, Washington propaganda.

EDIT: This was a joke. Just so you know.

Seriously, though, I think this LGBT craze around Russia is getting rather ridiculous. If stuff like this happened somewhere in Europe, nobody would've paid attention to it.

I know some states don't have homosexual marriage legal, but outright banning homosexuality? Nope.

Come on, man. Don't drop your hatred on them - it's rather useless. Just think of a title "worst country for gays" as of a badge of honor.

But gays are people too!

Besides, I don't live in Saudi Arabia.

No doubt. They just aren't welcome.

I think we discussed it somewhere here, in this very thread. As long as they keep it to themselves and aren't marching on gay pride parades, they're fine. The only way they proliferate is that tolerance thing everyone is so exited about.

Tell Putin and his friends that, not us.

They can go on parades, too, but they have to not dress as fucking clowns.

I hate clowns.

You took everything I've just said seriously, didn't you?

In all seriousness, Putin, if we judge by the official laws he passed, is much more tolerant towards LGBT people than the majority of Russia's population, as there are no legal reprecussions whatsoever for homo/trans/whateversexuality in Russia, even the infamous "gay propaganda law" has nothing to do with actual LGBT people. Most of the conservatism comes from the people themselves.

EDIT: This was a joke. Just so you know.

It still sounds too flamy to me.
However, as I see it, the reason why the so-called "criticism" toward Russia is so scathing and full of hatred is this - the dislike of the infringement of LGBT people (actual or made-up - it doesn't matter) is combined with the endemic dislike of Russian culture, mentality and way of life present in the West, which is caused by vast contradictions between Russian and Western mentalities and ways of life. These two factors combine and drive the anti-Russian sentiment high. It's a little bit like mechanical resonance.
Not even Saudi Arabia is disliked as much as Russia in regards to LGBT issues.

Probably. I don't really care enough about gay people to actively persist on any point in the whole discussion about them. Live and let live, all that.

Besides if you scroll down to the American politics thread, progressive thread, ISIS thread etc. you can read plenty of criticism of the US. Were as we only have 1 or 2 threads for heaping shit on Russia

[Comrade P.]

The moral of the story is: no country is perfect. Most are far from perfect.

Hence why this was a joke.

You are right, in retrospect, this was a very stupid thing for me to write.

Anyway, how about an old Russian joke to help lighten up the mood?

Spoiler: joke (click to show/hide)

An African and a Ukrainian are both in the same train car cabin. The Ukrainian pull out some salo.
African: What's that?
Ukrainian: Salo.
A: Nahhhh, that's not salo. Back in Africa, when you kill an elephant, you cut some of its trunk fat, you salt it, now that's salo! And what you have is not salo, it's too tiny to be salo.
The Ukrainian pulls out a ham.
A: What's that?
U: A ham.
A: Nahhhh, that's not a ham. Back in Africa, when you kill an ostrich, you chop off its leg, you smoke it, now that's a ham! And what you have is not a ham, it's too tiny to be a ham.
The Ukrainian pulls out a watermelon.
The African starts to open his mouth to say something.
U: Shut up! This is gooseberry, goddammit!!!
