Is feeling compassion incompatible with anything else?
What happened to this man is a tragedy nobody should experience (this is compassion).
The reason why this happened was totally avoidable, Qatar is a country everyone should avoid (everyone includes queer people too) because they have crap laws and don’t care about human rights. (This has to be said because we need to educate people so they don’t suffer this again)
Do you have the power to change Qatar laws so they don’t consider being gay a crime? I’d love a different solution, for example one that makes Qatar a livable place for everyone, but until this happens, the best thing we can do is not going there, especially if your mere existence is a crime for them.
You couldn’t go one post without victim blaming him. And tbh if you have to tell people you’re being compassionate right before you launch into victim blaming, you are not being compassionate.
You’re mad at me because you don’t like what I’m saying.
And instead of trying to understand that maybe sometimes a victim can be criticised for what they suffered, so they learn from it to never repeat it, you double down on your attacks refusing to see anything wrong in this person’s behaviour. You even go as far as saying that every country is the same when it comes to queer people treatment, as if Qatar was remotely comparable to any UE country in which they can live a full life like any other citizen.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about. But that’s fine, go on.
I am saying that Qatar is not comparable to EU. And if you refuse to see that, then you’re part of the problem. How many EU countries can you name in which being gay is punished with death?
If you really think that queer people is oppressed the same way in a democratic civilised country than it is in an autocratic regime as the one of Qatar, you are just denying any kind of progress, and hurting queer people more than helping them.
You should be ashamed of even considering that.
You look like someone looking for enemies, and that’s only going to hurt yourself, not me.
Can you point out what did I twist? Maybe when I said that there are surely better places to go for a queer person than Qatar and then you said that you are marginalized everywhere?
And then I pointed out that surely it’s not the same a country like Spain than a country like Qatar? But you kept going with it?
“Uppity removeds are just trolls!” wow I feel like I’m back in 2018. It’s not working, nobody’s falling for your bullshit.
I love how you just compared a gay man who was tortured for being gay to a racist man with a racist sign. You would be less offensive if you just called us removeds.
I love how you think it is okay to make the snap judgment the person as being a racist but cannot seem to see how that is hypocritical.
If you understood the reference you’d have known the character was anything but racist.
It’s not even about the racism. It’s the decision to be so obviously racist in an environment that is understood by everyone to be lethally hostile to racists.

I’m mad at you because what you’re saying is fucked up, yes. I’m just asking you to show basic empathy for another human being.
You’ve clearly never talked to a queer person in the EU if you think they aren’t marginalized. Now you’re just denying oppression.
Oh, now we’re dropping cishet like an insult?
When cishets are telling actual queer people about the oppression we face? Yeah, I’ll drop cishet (derogatory).

And now you’re just purposefully twisting what I said. Again. I preferred when people like you just called us removeds, it was a lot less annoying.

You are literally attacking me for things I didn’t say lmao
Do I really need to screenshot those messages? Don’t make me do such thing, please.

Please tell me more about how the person comparing a man tortured for being gay to racism is not victim blaming.
If your car gets stolen one of the first questions the police ask is “were the keys in the ignition”? Why?
