It's the same motive for literally demonizing pagan mythology and beliefs to force Christianity onto others.

Yeah, it's bad. It's not even the worst thing they've done to pagans though, there's a reason why the pentagram is associated with evil in this day an age. Thankfully those hateful messages the church are starting to lose their potency as people these days are beginning to treat them as edgy and cool, instead of blasphemous and scary.

You have to remember that back in the old days they didn't understand trans people as a concept well, which leads to that wrong idea that trans people are hermaphroditic. There is no such thing as a human hermaphrodite that just isn't a thing. There are intersex people but Intersex people share nothing in common with those depictions of "hermaphrodites" you see. I personally think it's much more accurate to imagine Baphy as a depiction of someone who is trans, maybe more specifically transfeminine due to the features and appearance they have.

I plan on doing that when I get mine.

That's such a cute pin. I'm totally buying one for myself.

Side note: Really wish there was more appreciation of Baphomet as trans representation.

Brave has had issues with shadiness for a while, also the CEO is a transphobic ass. Best to avoid that piece of crap like you would any other scam.

Probably also has some right wing bias as well. That's probably one of the reasons they included goggles in Brave search for right wing content.

Of course Brave would so something like this. This isn't surprising whatsoever. It's still horrible they're even choosing to enable this whatsoever.

Edit: I just checked what kind of shit they pull up on Transgender issues when using those goggles. It's as bad as I thought it would be. Fuck Brave for enabling this garbage.

I very much agree, people shouldn't be forced to out themselves if they don't feel comfortable. Mandating pronoun tags is hostile and forces them to either lie or to out themselves.
