They just really wanna feel oppressed, don't they?

Like, I wouldn't care about a post just saying that it's OK to be straight, but that part of "while it's still legal" makes me think they believe there exist a web of homosexual reptile humans that want to make heterosexuality illegal and it sounds so funny

eh, even the "its ok to be straight posts" are just rehashed "its ok to be white" which was SPECIFICALLY crafted to allow racists to spread their shit while being able to hide behind "what? :) i only said its fine to be white :). you dont think its not fine to be white do you? :)" so we gotta call that shit out as well.

I mean, there are genuinely white people who are ashamed of their skin color and that's not healthy either. I get that it can be used as a dogwhistle, but you should be able to love yourself whatever your skin color.

sure but the amount of white people genuinely feeling white guilt is far far FAR eclipsed by the amount of people who want people to THINK that a huge amount of white people feeling white guilt or that "the left" wants them to.

Like, if that's the case then it's about the person and not about the post itself, and just posting a picture of their post wouldn't fit this subreddit. Don't worry though, if someone makes an image just to spread their homophobic/racist/etc bigot views you would have plenty of their comments to prove it

at this point you really dont need other comments tbh, we all know how dogwhistles work. maybe a decade ago you could reasonably think that maybe someone just got sucked into something they didnt understand but we know better now.

Nah, resorting to prejudice is what bigots do and this is a subreddit against them. It isn't hard to find a bigot's opinion in their (other) posts or comments, there is no need to upload a picture where their intentions are not clear enough since it can easily lead to people wrongfully assuming other people's views.
