  • I saw that way differently. In my reading they converted a homophobic slur into one that targets the kind of people who are not gay, but do really hate being called that. Therefore using the term for something that is deserving of public shaming and were people absolutely have a choice of being that way.

    They called a largely homophobic group of men who like to be clad in leather and be surrounded by big manly men by a word that they would truely be dispised being called. It would be hilarious and beneficial if that usage of the word would become the new norm and people calling motorbros ‘fags’ instead of gay people.

    I don’t think many LGBT people would be mad at nog being called fags, but instead the term referring to hells angels roleplayers.

    The question was about prisons in general, their personal experience being the basis of them questioning the ethicality of the concept of prisons.

    For that matter the Norwegian example is a perfect antithesis to the punitive American system.

    Therefore they were absolutely on topic. You may freshen up on comprehensive reading.
