Like, this isn’t just “internet discourse.” Its not even just a toxic bullying movement. Its widespread HATRED for an entire group. Y'all cling to your justifications that you think are entirely reasonable just like every other bigot in history has, but fact of the matter is you hate an entire group of people for existing, and you make it known, you hurt them.
How many people justified abusing me as a bisexual because “all bisexuals are cheaters, are sluts, are actually straight.” How many goddamn people thought that they were doing the RIGHT thing by condemning trans rights because trans people “are all predators trying to go in the wrong bathrooms, obviously,” and “are x gender trying to invade spaces that don’t belong to them.” And how many of those people thought they were entirely RIGHT and their behavior was excused because everyone they surrounded themselves with was/is doing it too?
How many of you are 100% convinced that every time you shit on aces its completely ok because “they’re all inherently homophobic, the whole community is bad, they’re all actually straight anyway,” and are encouraged because your peers do it too?
Let me spell it out. You. Are. Hating. An. Entire. Orientation. Because. Its. Popular. To. Do. And. You. Justify. It. With. The. Same. Slandering. Tactics. That. Get. Used. By. Every. Other. Oppressor.
You ABUSE and DISCRIMINATE and somehow it never crosses your small minds that maybe that’s never an ok thing to do? That people being born different than you is not a threat and they don’t deserve to be treated with mass bullying for existing?
The culture on this site (primarily made up of teenagers and young adults,) is nothing other than digital high school where the kids who have been educated about social justice have learned how to weaponize the popular sj language to continue the same bullying of vulnerable groups while pretending they’re still good people, because they made up an EXCUSE. You’re all still bullies and bigots though. None of your pathetic rhetoric will change that.
