Hey, thats me.
For the record, the article doesn't mention anything about islam or Muslims, and the comments in the post neither, so the mods saw "homophobic attack" and went "better remove it because Islamophobia"
Ironically, very Islamophobic of the mods.
I figured they just read Lesbian as Lebanon/Lebanese and got confused.
Mods are like: hey, sorry we had to delete your post. Blame the Muslims!
My cultural identity is based around freedom to acknowledge reality, and this genuinely offends me to my core. Maybe acknowledging reality should be made into a religion of some sort so it can be given similar protections? What would be a good name though? Sentientness? Existence?
I wanted to make a parody religion called "the church of slitting the throat of random bystanders on the street", to make fun of doing harm and limiting the freedom of others under the name of religion. Would be also a good basis for some comedy/action-thriller movie/whatever, wgere a serial killer manages to legalize his killing spree by making it a religion.
Objectivism?
That one may be taken by people you don't want to be associated with...
How about Common Sense?
Unfortunately, common sense is often the opposite of reality.
Reddit at its best.
That's really insidious
Wow. From r/GayBros? Srsly?
They were notoriously one of the more openly mysgonstic and "drop the t" of the queer subs. That's kinda wild honestly.
one of the more openly mysgonstic and "drop the t" of the queer subs
I was subscribed there for years and never saw a word of that...
Well I don't know what to tell you aside from seeing a lot of posts on trans subs where OP would be like
Why do gay men hate trans women? I got told by someone in a LGBTQIA+ sub that I was just a a confused gay guy?
And the comments would be filled with people guessing
"This was /GayBros wasn't it? They are like that, Gay men as a whole aren't."
I won't argue with your experience, but at minimum that sub DEFINITELY had a reputation.
They never expected the brownshirts to come for them, i guess.
Please remember things like this when you say "hate speech isn't free speech". I wouldn't put it past the Republicans to claim that pro-LGBT+ or pro-choice is hate speech against Christians.
Classic reddit
