Why all the new symbols when I post on FR? Seems all the quotation marks and apostrophes are now gone, replaced by symbols

It appears that this happens when slanter versions of quotation marks and apostrophes are used, or longer versions of the standard dash.

These are type-set characters that are used in more formal publications.

I do not know why the special characters are showing up, but if you replace the special quotation marks, apostrophes and dashes with standard ones, the extra characters go away.

It’s one of many aberrant paraphilias.

Screwing someone of the same sex is the same as screwing a tree or a goat.

A difference of degree is all that separates one from the other.

Homosexuality is perversion.

Duh.

Natural Selection selected Sex (the genetic exchange between Male and Female) because Sex increases the fitness of species.

What homosexual activists have selected isn’t Sex, but the worship of themselves and their mutual masturbatory perversions.
