shoved down everyone's throat

What's with anti-LGBTQIA+ bigots and repetitive predictable use of that phrasing?

[-] EpicKebabEater@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Freudian slip. "I hope all these [slur]s will not shove it down my throat... God it is so thick... I think I'd gag."

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's not new, it's something bigots say whenever they want to overtly direct their ire towards something that isn't particularly offensive; they know if they were more open they'd be rightfully hated, so they couch their terminology to make it sound like the minority group is oppressing them.

holy fuck we're so powerful

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The knifecat and heartcat grew three sizes bigger that day. :SickoGrinch:

Also, the "butthurt" and "forced down throats" phrasing. As usual. debord-tired

everything I don't like is gay

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

Bigots seem to invoke gay sex imagery more than gay people do, and without the happy mutual pleasure vibes. To chuds, it's all violence that they want to dish out and are terrified of receiving. scared-fash

Wait I thought we were fascists pretending to be trans?

[-] forcequit@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago
[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

no, it's just me pretending. everyone is valid but me.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

leslie-shining everyone is valid, especially you

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

The person reading this is the most valid of all

Yes I'm actually an undercover transvestigator

i'm pretending

spoilerit's actually an artillery piece, and i'm neither a dog nor a robot

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

Boy I sure am glad that all the claims of transphobia was just Hexbear "saving face" because we were upset that the sane reasonable people didn't like us for being tankies.

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

I would have respected your human rights but you had to go and demand for them

[-] ewichuu@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

never ever ever concede on any of this...

all those "oh I would have supported you if it weren't for X" are all gaslighting and manipulation, no they wouldn't. They just have an excuse now. Being "one of the good ones" doesn't work. The people who hate us and opress us are the ones that have to change, not us

Sorry everyone, it's my fault. I called turtlepower an egg. 😔

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

I get where you're coming from. I think they doth protest too much.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Pfffft like they even know what that term means.

That was my first thought too! It has that Lovecraftian, Dreherian horror of "They're gonna trans me!" and it's like, why is that both your firm belief and first concern lol

TRANS RIGHTS HUMAN RIGHTS

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 year ago

turtlepower goes where trans people exist

Trans person: "Well howdy friend! Are you trans too?"

turtlepower: "STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME TRANS!"

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans

lmao isn't that mostly a bit where trans folks look back at their own perspective and are like "ah should have been obvious". I've seen a handful of people who used to be like this guy, then had someone say this to them, then they were like "o shit" and they've been on HRT for 3 years.

Idk maybe this guy should try on some skirts before he goes showing his ass on forums.

trying to make the whole world trans

Fucking dumb. It's like saying anti-racists are trying to make the world a single race. No dumb ass they're trying to make the world not racist.

They're being told people should be able to choose the kind of person they want to be without having to worry about all the gendered propaganda we've been fed our entire life. Their response:

I will NOT stand for that shit.

Just because they're unhappy with what they were born with doesn't mean everyone feels that way.

Just a complete fundamental misunderstanding of everything while also being an entitled shit. I doubt they fit perfectly in to society's cubicuboctahedron role they were assigned at birth and drilled in to them every day of their life by all the people they love. Stay ignorant.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

so many trans people trying to make the whole world trans

Someone saw that Twitter that combines flags and took a 🏳️‍⚧️ +🇺🇳 flag too seriously

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

this is always such a funny tack for them to take. do they think we want "allies" as bloodless as they are? "you were mean once so i flipped" alright well i'd rather just count that as an enemy 100% of the time because they're literally worth less than garbage

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

people like this diaping out is proof that hexbear-direct-action is a force for good on the lemmyverse

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

turtle power? more like turd shower.

boom. gottem.

[-] JuneFall@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Trans are objectively more valuable than cis. ~~We got a lot more of the latter to spare~~ Since their public existence in society and the reactions against their public existence do highlight contradictions that have to be dealt with in a proper manner. This means creating a world in which there is no transphobia and eliminating the material base for transphobia as well.

[-] JuneFall@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Also it does affect the validity of their opinion, I don't give a fuck about a privileged well of person telling me how the poor have too much money.

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Who's taking bets on the chance that turtlepower is an egg?

[-] LemonGrease@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

No one will be safe from the mass transing.

I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans

I mean yeah, same, i've had people (trans and cis) tell me i should transition, or get on T, or "wait, you use she/her? really?" - but the difference is that i'm capable of understanding that these are just shitty people who have a problem with GNC people and/or women who aren't feminine or conventionally attractive. Is it misogynistic, implying that women should look/behave/dress a certain way? Yeah, absolutely, but that makes that one individual person a dick, it doesn't fucking imply that an entire group of people are a cult or shouldn't have rights or some shit, jesus.

‘let me derail this trans-positive post to complain about tankies’ rent-free

[-] StalinwasaGryffindor@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

I laughed out loud at this description of us:

“many of their users act basically like 4chan without the racism, sexism, anti semitsm, transphobia and all of that”

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

So 4chan without the 4chan?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
