Forums - Politics - Chechnya detains 100 gay men in first concentration camps since the Holocaust

I remember hearing about this. It's horrible that homophobia is still this rampant, but with Russia's anti-gay propaganda law a few years ago I'm not surprised that this is happening. However, it's not really the first concentration camp since the holocaust, as North Korea and the PRC have done it, and they didn't even exist before World War II. Even in Europe, we had them during the Bosnian War:

So this article and the thread is part of the fake news phenomenon.  Splendid.

You know, because there are groups that are more oppressed doesn't mean that we shouldn't focus on the less oppressed groups. By that logic, we'd have to find the single most oppressed person in the world, and ignore everyone else until he/she is no longer oppressed.

No, this actually is something worth fighting over. Bayonetta showing her ass is not.

Bayonetta is a fictional character. Fictional characters can't really be oppressed. Social justice is about living people.

Its about how women are being portrayed in video games obviously. Not Bayonetta herself...

Which is a result of the status of women in society. Of course, the problem is that many of them think that it's mainly video games that are influencing society, when in reality it's vice versa.



Did he practically just say "There are no gay people here, and if there were their family would remove them"?



Holy shit what that article describes is fucking horrible, unbelievable such a thing can happen on Europe in the 21st century, will Putin do something about it? I have my doubts.
