the new DLC for GTA 5

likin it so far

btw ameriburgers explain to me what "dont ask dont tell" actually does. for all i make of it you just dont ask people if theyre gay and dont tell people youre gay or something like that

from what I can gather it's just a discretion policy

It is now

Before it was zero tolerance afaik

just keeping gay stuff on the down low

You break dadt in the past and you could be discharged

cause, well, what does letting people know you're gay have to do with serving your time?

by you breaking dadt, what if its someone else who outed you

I think they get busted too

i guess you'd report it to your CO?

It's basically codified homophobia

Which is silly but not necessarily offensive, they tried to be respectful

It didn't end up working out in the long run it seems

i think its a misguided old rule, well meaning but misguided

Yeah

Guys are gonna talk about sex eventually, when a straight guy does it it might not seem like rubbing it in your face but maybe it does to a gay guy (and vice versa)

So i can see ppl breaking dadt who just want to be left alone or otherwise try to get out of a conversation they don't want to get any more awkward

These days I'd like to think ppl can handle it like adults without having to codify a policy whose lowest common denominator back in the day was your average homophobe

current_year politics is all about outdoing each others's extremeness

oh wait i misunderstood the last part

The radically centrist thing to do is settle one's prudishness towards others' attitudes on a man-to-man level

woah that's real pragmatic of you

Gachimuchi style <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

nah

Spar to the death like OG Star Trek

there is a weirdly progressive angle to dadt though

I'll claim the opposite. Today's progressivism has a neo-puritan angle to it

having your identity revealed would probably end up with bullying by your squad and worst case scenario some psycho might **accidentally** commit friendly fire

neo-puritan approach to things like jokes and sitting in a comfortable position

based centrist post-pepe post-ironic deep fried memer

The end of dadt to me makes me think that unresolvable issues with squad cohesion is no longer considered a major concern when it comes to individual homophobia

but wanting to normalize your degeneracy by constantly bashing it over people's heads

rather than just

doing it
