I said nothing about condoning, I asked you to empathize with a man who was just tortured. The fact that you're getting so upset over that says a lot about you. There's a reason you like to criticize the gay man and not the homophobic government that tortures people.

I think you're misunderstanding me explaining in detail my point of view with being upset. I'm not upset at all. As a matter of fact, I don't even know the guy, so why should I? Something that shouldn't happen in 2024, happened. And it's regrettable.

At the same time, it was something completely avoidable. So while I regret this thing happened because it shouldn't, I can't help but to point out how stupid it was to suffer this from a totally avoidable situation.

And I think it's kinda fucked up that you're clearly bothered that this man said he was disappointed with how he was treated but you don't care about how he was treated. You can say you're not upset as much as you want but the fact is that you've literally been victim blaming him for over an hour now. You can just say you don't like queers, you don't need to beat around the bush.

Mate, it really seems you are the one very bothered for the point of view of an internet stranger. Especially when all I said to cause you this is that it's unreasonable to expect that a country like Qatar accepts they violated human rights.

Nah you victim blamed a man who was just tortured. I said it was a fucked up opinion and you doubled down. All he said was that he was "disappointed" and you got mad about that for some reason. He's literally not even "expecting" anything, he just said he was disapointed.
