Agreed. Unfortunately, Lemmy also took a step back to 2010s reddit when it comes to tolerance and self-analysis too, apparently. Schumer is terrible but he’s terrible in a way that doesn’t have to be articulated as a slightly elaborated version of “that’s gay”

I agree, but I would much rather have an article stating such from any source that is not Jacobin tbh

What a fucking take lmao

“the blacks and the gays getting systemically purged from society doesn’t matter compared to the real stuff, things that personally impact me”

Just say you’re fine with bigotry as long as white dudes benefit in the way you want, it’s a lot faster and more intellectually honest.

When I lived in rural areas basically the only sign of gay people was the pride merchandise put out by large corporations.

It doesn’t matter in cities that are full of open gay people, but the universal application of these initiatives means it ends up normalizing this stuff in areas that might otherwise not experience it, and for that alone it’s a problem that these kinds of things are going away.

It’s honestly kinda wild to me how many gay folks are so “I hate pride stuff!” these days tbh, but I guess that’s differing perspectives for you.
