If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

    I’m not misogynistic or homophobic. It’s a cheap shot to show a few out-of-context posts without the comments they are responding to. All of those were aimed at vicious MAGA Nazis who don’t deserve any respect or kindness. They are evil, and should be disparaged harshly. It’s a small defense against traitors/racists/murderers, and I stand behind every one of those opinions.

      Saying violent homophobia is just the fault of closeted homosexuals and not heterosexuals is a grievous insult to many more gay people than to straights while denying the substantial guilt of many straight people

      Firstly, misogyny and homophobia don’t suddenly become okay when you direct it at shitty people.

      Secondly, they may not deserve any respect or kindness but using insults based on homophobia or misogyny isn’t showing disrespect to them (they’re never gonna read your fucking Lemmy comments), it’s making this site a less pleasant space for the types of people who are targeted by this kinda shit on a regular basis.

      And finally, it shows these aforementioned marginalised people you’re supposed to be an ally with that your allyship is worthless. You’ve decided homophobia is conditionally acceptable.

      As you said, these are terrible people you’re talking about, so why not attack them on that instead of vomiting out casual bigotry?

        https://hexbear.net/comment/6284093 The loser your talking to apperently crashed out in the same as way as the op. This plus their vaush-like “I can weaponize slurs aganist minorities/people I perceive as minorties because I am the one true ally and you need me” bs this warrents another post. Which will probbably attract another chauvinist… same-as-it-ever-was

        I’m not going to defend myself to you. I am extremely close to people in my life who are LBGTQ+, and they know I am with them 100%. I have often posted that they are my bright red line. If this government were to do ANYTHING to them, I will become a very dangerous person. I am very prepared to defend these people with my very life, so you can go fuck yourself with your scurrilous accusations.

          Its wild to go to one of the largest queer websites on lemmy proclaim yourself to be ally king, and proclaim that you and you alone speak for the queers to the transwoman mad that you are using slurs to “defend her.” Are you actually Vaush??? Why don’t you call us both slurs you coward aren’t we bad putin booklickiers or something? trans-specter

          Strong words for someone who immediately reaches for misogyny when they want to insult someone.

          Oh but you know some queer people so you can’t be a bigot.

          I swear, cishets are the worst.

          If this government were to do ANYTHING to them

          You gonna do a test to make sure they’re the right kindsa people first before you act? Can’t risk your activism helping the bad gays, right?

        Gay people are people first, and some people are bad people, gay or not. I am under no obligation to support or excuse bad people just because they are gay, and I am not homophobic because I call out bad gay people for their poor behavior.

        Ditto for misogyny.

          No, you’re homophobic by stating that all homophobia (or at minimum, all homophobic murder) comes from gay people, while ‘regular’ straight people “just don’t care”.

          To be honest it’s amazing you’re not already banned. But you’ve time to yet admit that was maybe an absolutely dogshit awful thing to say.

            I didn’t say that at all, but it can’t be denied that we have seen many cases some of the worst anti-gay politicians and preachers turning out to be gay themselves, so when I see someone making it a huge focus, I assume that’s their personal issue. It almost always turns out to be true.

            The most common anti-gay bigotry comes from those who don’t talk about it, and just don’t like people just because they are gay. I don’t think that those people are gay, just stupid.

            But if you are making a big deal about it, and getting in the media to complain about it, you are probably covering something up. Mentally balanced people, gay or straight, don’t behave that way.

              That’s not true… it would be so easy to grift on Fox or whatever about the latest minority to hate if you don’t care about others, and by the looks of it, you seem willing to do it for free.

              Since you keep bringing up children, I think they have a better sense of ethics than you.

              “the killer … he’s a closeted gay himself. They’re the only people who hate other gays that much. Regular straight people don’t care.”

              I don’t know why you’re denying saying that, when this quote is screenshot’d just up above. Did you intend something else with these words? Because this is quite literally you saying “that”.

          If you’re calling a bad person who happens to be gay out by way of referring to them being gay then yes actually it’s still homophobic, because them being gay is presented as a bad thing, and if I had to put money in it I’d bet that there’s no way in hell you’re not completely misrepresenting the situation
