So in response to the "It gets better" campaign, The Second City (Who for the record made a great it gets better video by the sassy gay friend) made an "It gets worse" video. It is very funny and So obviously a JOKE! But of course there are some dumbasses on youtube who feel the need to make dumbass comments. Instead of commenting myself, I've decided to be annoyed here, where I'm allowed.
Here's one:
"Nothing like completely over-generalizing all white, straight people. This video is basically reverse-discrimination and I think it is offensive. Yes, many straight people discriminate against people of other sexual orientation and generalize them, but does it really make you feel better to do the same thing back?" - Dumbass Youtube Commenter
To anyone crying reverse discrimination, hate to be the one to break it to you but that's not a real thing. Discrimination is the systematic oppression of one group for the overall benefit of another. We live in a patriarchy and that means Men and heterosexuals are always going to be favored over deviants like women, transsexuals, and homosexuals. So while occasionally a member of the privileged group may be temporarily denied an advantage, it is not discrimination.
Also, this video is talking about high schoolers who are so insecure with their own selves that they lash out against the gay community. It is NOT saying all straight, white men are douchebags. Just the actual douchebags.
Anyway, don't take my word for it. Here's the video. Check it out for yourself!
