I guess I'll just put The Big Bang Theory in the "Watch if there are no interesting flamewars going on and I have already watched everything else worth watching" bucket.
I like it. A lot of people hate it. Your probably need to try it yourself to figure out which camp you're in.

And here comes @flabdablet, preaching
wow, you seem to have some real issues with tomatoes. There's no reason you need to suffer like that. Perhaps some psychological counseling would help you take your shuddering fear of tomatoes down to an ordinary disinclination to eat them. Then you'd be able to just push them to the side of your plate. Because, frankly, all that table-flipping and screaming at waitresses is getting old. Nobody is trying to deceive you into eating tomatoes. If you don't like them, just remember to ask not to be given them.
-
Friends is shit too or TBBT is actually good?
Unless you're asking for someone with a very similar taste to yours, tv show recommendations aren't very useful. Both shows are quite successful, there is a good chance you'll enjoy one of them.
TBBT gradually got less and less about nerds and more into a generic sitcom with a nerdy theme. I enjoyed it in both of these phases. Friends not that much.

The American Heritage Dictionary (1992 edition) defines homophobia as "aversion to gay or homosexual people or their lifestyle or culture" and "behavior or an act based on this aversion."
Come out of your 90's timepod. Everyone knows the current definition is on wikipedia.
Actually, it's just a bit too convenient that wikipedia is largely controlled by SJWs, who put their preferred politically-motivated persuasive redefinitions there, then point people to the site as having the correct definitions.
-

Obviously tastes differ. Still there are shows that most consider shit or most consider quite good.
Neither is really my genre, but I file TBBT as might watch some day and Friends as not likely.

It's true, but it's unrelated to the Lily Allen videos. Embrace those.
You want some Taylor Swift instead?

Dunno, she seems to be quite a sexy chick, so videos are appropriate. Just switch off audio and your good to go.

Tomatoes are juicy and generally ruin your whole dish if you don't like them. Even if you pick them out, you'll still end up with an unenjoyable dish.
Nobody is trying to deceive you into eating tomatoes. If you don't like them, just remember to ask not to be given them.
Except I'm in an ice cream parlor and just asked for two scoops of vanilla ice cream. I got the ice cream, I bite into it, and it has chunks of tomatoes inside.
Now, I'm not an asshole like you, and I'm not going to run around the whole parlor telling people that what they're eating is wrong and taking away their ice cream. It's fine if they enjoy it, even though the idea makes me puke a little. But I'll have to dump my portion in the trash can, and I'll probably end up having some words with the owner as to why on Earth would he not inform people that his vanilla ice cream has tomatoes in it.
Because, even if somebody would be okay with the experiment, I'm sure they'd appreciate being told beforehand that their vanilla ice cream is laced with tomatoes. Because people generally don't expect tomatoes in their ice cream, even if they like it. And if they don't, you'll end up making them sick and they probably won't try ice cream for a while.

pretty face and a vagina
Who said anything about vagina? Or about face, for that matter?
It's a lot of Fox shit to wade through
Again, you don't wanna do this. You'd be better off watching Friends.
-
That would be a much better metaphor if it were something that is actually put in vanilla ice cream at some point. And, for that matter, something which actually goes well with vanilla ice cream. And if the ice cream were simply unlabeled rather than being labelled "vanilla" despite having something mixed in.
-

No, you dolt, the point of the analogy is that tomatoes are something you don't expect in vanilla ice cream.
And, for that matter, something which actually goes well with vanilla ice cream.
No, you dolt, the point of the analogy is that for most people it doesn't go well, and it certainly doesn't go well when you're sneaked it instead of knowing upfront.
And if the ice cream were simply unlabeled rather than being labelled "vanilla" despite having something mixed in.
No, you dol... fuck it, you're basically saying "well, your argument would be really damn good if it was actually my argument".
-

At the very least, the latter point would be a more accurate metaphor, unless you only pick up chicks who wear a sign saying "Cis".
-

You really don't get it, do you? You have said that ~0.3% of people are trans. That means that if they are evenly distributed, and identical to cis (which they aren't), woman equalling doesn't have a penis is a safe assumption and the one that every single person will make.
If a straight guy is hanging out at a gay bar, picks up a woman and takes her home and finds a dick because he didn't ask...you would have a point.
But we aren't.
-
If you're not going to a gay bar to find straight women, you're , IJS...
-
Haven't had to worry about picking up women for a few years now. Last time I was in a gay bar was to buy cigarettes because it was the only one in that part of town to still sell them. Figure that one the fuck out. A gay bar was the only place still free enough to sell cigarettes.
While there, I did not make a joke about "buying a pack of fags". I did make a joke about Virginia Slims.

Well, I don't mind a trojan or two. I don't share the Internet's sentiment for Spartans, really.
OTOH, if there is a back door there has to be a front door. Which one is it?
-

We can see a pretty face in the videos but in these times who knows what she's hiding in her pants.
Fucking pig.
I thought that was a pastime reserved for British

Actually, I'm much closer to libertarian than conservative, but we don't need to let facts get in the way of your SJW shaming tactics.
On the other hand, your side tends to use conservative as a catch-all for everyone who disagrees with the One True Doctrine, so carry on.

The problem is conflating two different types of phobias.
It doesn't make sense to compare irrational fear or anxiety of something with [terms for prejudice][1].As most of the other disagreements in these threads this is caused by incorrect definitions and inaccurate appropriation of existing terms to describe new things.
The suffix has had that dual meaning for over a hundred years, much longer than, say "gay" for "homosexual". Deal with it like you've probably dealt with the misappropriation of the word "degree" for temperatures and angles that actually means "social condition"βat least in Chaucer's works it does.
Of course I have consistently made clear which meaning of -phobia I meant here; it's just easier for @boomzilla, @polygeekery & Co. to bicker about it and avoid discussing the actual substance of the argument if you pretend the clarification wasn't there.
-

Thanks for acknowledging it is a dual meaning. I deal with it by seeing these two as having the same word for different kind of things,
Deal with it like you've probably dealt with the misappropriation of the word "degree" for temperatures and angles
Can you agree then that trying to reasonably compare claustrophobia and homo- or transphobia comes across as:
-
I am beginning to think that English majors are even more of a fun sponge than SJWs are.

Whether you're dealing with homographs or polysemes is usually completely irrelevant outside of linguistics. The point is that there hasn't been any kind of "inaccurate appropriation", at least not by anyone alive today.@LaoC said:

Not at all. @Maciejasjmj's initial post in this subthread described precisely symptoms of a clinical phobia triggered by what someone thinks was a homosexual act. What's so difficult about that?
-

That's been noun[tm] for a while. Do we have any present here?
-

Good for you ...I guess. I can't be bothered to sift through the posts again but I think there was a point where you started to compare it with claustrophobia and from other people's reaction it was clear that at least they assumed you were talking about transphobia as it is usually defined, not as clinically defined phobia you apparently invented on the spot.
The point is that there hasn't been any kind of "inaccurate appropriation", at least not by anyone alive today.
That this incorrect redefinition occurred long ago doesn't change the point - that you yourself struggle to get it easily understandable when you are talking about transphobia as a disgust towards trans and when as a clinical fear of trans.
@Maciejasjmj's initial post in this subthread described precisely symptoms of a clinical phobia
How do we differentiate clinical phobia from bigoted phobia then?
-

No, I didn't know it was your birthday.
Sorry, I couldn't make more sense out of your post.

I really like tomatoes, but if I eat them for dinner I have to make sure I take an antacid before bed.

I can say that it seems a lot better than not being too conservative for wikipedia.

Have you met an English major? They suck the fun out of reading for fun, and they seem to enjoy doing so.
-
How do we differentiate clinical phobia from bigoted phobia then?
An irrational fear of something resulting in severe distress upon encountering that thing is clinical phobia. Bigoted phobia is taking discriminatory or harmful acts against a person because of some factor about themselves which is beyond their control.
The problem most people have with these definitions, and probably why they use the same suffix, is because the end result often appears to be the same or very similar from the viewpoint of the victim and outside observers.
