@Serenarchy True. And we as queer people have a duty to ourselves and our community to target it inside of the queer community. No self respecting queer person is racist.
@meganpetesbnr And none of it is even applicable!!!!! Criticizing homophobic remarks or any other type of bigotry is not coercive. Queer people have a right to their privacy, autonomy, and safety. Im tired of this fake woke nonsense
@steeeambyshelly No I totally agree, i was just being rhetorical. Its 2026 and theres still so much intercommunity bullshit I wish we could just all get along so we could all fight for equality and recognition together 😒
@shadows_lt12115@marcodemonetime Im sorry but I can’t agree. If we choose to redefine criticism as coercion or manipulation just because it makes people uncomfortable then what we are doing is making it near impossible for minorities of all kinds to call out and challenge their respective systems of oppression
@shadows_lt12115@marcodemonetime Whether racism is worse than biphobia is irrelevant. You’re moving the goalposts. The question is whether asking someone to defend a prejudice is intrinsically manipulative
@shadows_lt12115@marcodemonetime If someone is stereotyping and harming a demographic i’ll be the last one to complain if they face societal consequences. Its pretty easy to not be a dick and also educate yourself to better eliminate your biases
@onlyforthesos@SyntaxSavvyy You can believe whatever you want i wont try and stop you but please don’t let your beliefs infringe on the rights of other people. You can hold yourself to any standard you choose but dont hold others to them until you can prove its sound
@shadows_lt12115@marcodemonetime Yes it is. When you get into the reasons behind why they dont want to its always (from what ive seen at least) stereotyping or wrongfully associating bi men with something offensive. Nobody is going to force a woman to date a bi man but dont pretend like they cant be called out
Serious question: Why do y’all think that by saying “it’s just a preference” it somehow eliminates the fact that the preference is rooted in prejudice? Being a preference doesn’t mean it’s no longer homophobic, fat phobic, racist, etc…
@shadows_lt12115@marcodemonetime If calling out prejudice reinforces someone’s beliefs does that mean we should just stop calling out prejudice? Is this a standard you apply to racism and sexism as well? And why is someone else’s moral judgement of a belief a threat?
@Ksoodeux@NXT8SEA What makes you think that critiquing prejudice is a demand for sex? Can you show me where I said that “men are victims because women wont fuck them?”. You’re responding to an argument I never even made.
@onlyforthesos@SyntaxSavvyy There isnt one. I thanked you for applying the rule to everyone so there isnt a double standard. With that being said you’ve shifted the burden. Why does disclosure require no justification while privacy does? Shouldn’t the burden belong to whoever wants info revealed?
@onlyforthesos@SyntaxSavvyy I appreciate the consistency, now that we can stop worrying about double standards i have a question- how do you reconcile the fact that sexuality is also a piece of private information that people often have legitimate reasons to withhold?
@TikoJ20@Auslerato_2@s_escaperh@SyntaxSavvyy From a strictly pragmatic point of view i can think of arguments that make this claim defensible. But i completely disagree that withholding your sexuality is a moral failure. You have to think of the privacy, safety, and autonomy queer people are entitled to as well.
@shadows_lt12115@marcodemonetime Thats not something that applies to all bi and gay men though- so I don’t know why you’re framing it as such. And what isnt homophobia to you IS homophobia to me. Simply disliking gay and bi men because of nothing other than their sexuality is blatant bigotry. Call it what it is
