Just say you’re fine with bigotry as long as white dudes benefit in the way you want, it’s a lot faster and more intellectually honest.

When I lived in rural areas basically the only sign of gay people was the pride merchandise put out by large corporations.

It doesn’t matter in cities that are full of open gay people, but the universal application of these initiatives means it ends up normalizing this stuff in areas that might otherwise not experience it, and for that alone it’s a problem that these kinds of things are going away.

It’s honestly kinda wild to me how many gay folks are so “I hate pride stuff!” these days tbh, but I guess that’s differing perspectives for you.

Trans people voted for Harris, overwhelmingly. The problems were with white guys with a weird stick up their ass trying to convince everyone else not to vote to protect us. Good work I guess, you got what you wanted.

Yeah, it’s genuinely a problem when you just want to not see entire instances based on the userbase they culminate. I wish blocking instances would actually block the users associated with it, but alas.

I’ve taken to blocking everyone @lemmy.ml on sight since every time I see them it’s some vitriolic rant about how trans people are class traitors or some other weird shit I don’t wanna see, but it is a bit of extra effort and annoyance each time a new one pops up.
