Yeah, but that last guy isn't going to sell you that Trump2024 bumpersticker.

[-] DevCat@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Maybe go to the Pagan on register 5, or the Satanist on 3.

Iunno, my sister is pagan and she seems to have been co opted into awful far right beliefs simply by appealing to her child (the trans people wanna cheat in sports in school! They're grooming kids! Etc) and she collects pine cones and moon water.

Pretty upset about it, tbh. But what can you do?

[-] alrighthosanna@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Iiii don't know about that one

No, he just won't sell anything to you unless you're LGBT yourself or an extremely vocal ally. Then he'll go destroy the other tills, because you're not allowed to exist unless you are a part of his movement.

Lmao nice little victim complex

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Your mind must be a sad and frightening place with all that hate, paranoia, and stupidity 🤦

[-] Totendax@feddit.de 18 points 2 years ago

Bro never met a single LGBTQ person

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Ahh yes because violence is the hallmark of their movement. There has never been a doubt which side is violent and playing mind games is not going to change it.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

They added "actually I'm bisexual" after the downvotes for their ridiculous bigotry started pouring in 😂

Major Dean Browning energy on this one..

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

do you want them to show u their gay card or something ?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. There's a hell of a long way from gay black man to one of the whitest aggressively heterosexual religious fundamentalists you'll ever see, though. He may be closeted, but even then he would be a self-hating bigot.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

no, sorry, im talking about the person you replied to.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No worries lol, happens to the best of us and also me 😁

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

but will you answer my question then ?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nope, doesn't have to show his "gay card". Would be helpful to his credibility if he didn't show his "not gay card" all the time, though.

[-] Maiznieks@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

So wrong, lol

Isn't it weird that you can call Catholics, Muslims, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses small-minded, bigoted assholes, and get lots of upvotes? But when someone makes an equally stupid example about LGBT people, they are downvoted into oblivion and called a bigot and a hater.

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen any LGBT anti-religious marches. Do you know what I've seen a lot of?

[+] bcde74e3@lemmy.world -8 points 1 year ago

The point I was trying to make is that it’s weird how people are okay with making jokes about people they don’t agree with. But if someone makes a equally bad characterization of a group they do agree with, they immediately start calling names.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

And the point you're ignoring is that the OP isn't making bigoted jokes about religious people, they're making jokes about the bigotry of some religious people.

The difference between that and demonizing people for existing while LGBTQ+ is so vast that your argument is almost exclusively made in bad faith by people who just want to discriminate without being called out for it.

[-] bcde74e3@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

You’re trying to see a difference where there is none, to justify the unequal treatment. They are both making bad generalizations about a hypothetical cashier that belongs to a certain group.

No-one is demonizing people for who they are. Making a joke about a movement is not the same as being hateful to the people it represents. Just like you don’t seem to consider jokes about Catholics being hateful to them.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Clearly, the difference between punching up (making fun of bigotry and arbitrary rules imposed by the powerful) and punching down (making jokes where the punchline is denying someone's identity or perpetuating hurtful stereotypes and conspiracy theories about already persecuted minority groups) is completely lost on you and you prefer that everyone else think that way.

I'm just going to have to agree to disagree and ask you to argue in the defence of bigotry to someone else. Have the day you deserve.

[-] bcde74e3@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

At least now you’re being honest about the unequal treatment, by arbitrarily calling one minority ‘powerful’, and the other ‘persecuted’, one stereotype ‘fun’, and the other ‘hurtful’, one joke about ‘rules’, and the other about ‘identity’.

Again, you’re missing the point that this joke was about the movement, not the people it represents and who they are. Turning it into hate to those people is almost exclusively done in bad faith by people who want to discriminate one group, while protecting the other.

Have a good one.
