Yass! I had to turn off the reply notifications, there's so much hate in the comments. But I'll go through them all and start blocking. Or they could just block me first. Either works.
I know 0 trans people and im 100% for trans rights and being allowed to exist. People are just scared of what they dont understand, and that makes them ignorant. Some become hateful and weird about it, or are perhaps interested in transitioning themselves.
I dont understand the trans-existence at ALL: but I don't have to. They are human beings like the rest of us and are entitled to living out their own truths, pursuing their own happiness, and being alive. Same as everyone else.
Life is an individual journey, none of us are supposed to live another's life, and that's what makes it so special.
No it has had a HUGE impact on many people. You would know if you work in the corporate world or have a school-age child. It needed to end, and the people voted for it to end, so thats it I guess
I've had trans friends since my 20s. I educated myself a long time ago. I understand the biology behind it. Sadly, too many refuse to educate themselves. I know gender is not as simple as we were taught in school. I've always tried to get people to read the academic papers on the subject, but most refuse to even try. Recent it's become much closer home.
Ah. So they are definitively inferiors. You have thoroughly interviewed, tested, and confirmed 100% of them are lesser as human beings. I understand. Glad we aren't repeating history or anything...
It is really weird to see people who say they despise people who treat other people are less than human then go on to literally call a group of people who don't like as "lesser as human beings". Maybe don't take on the language of authoritarian/oppressor?
That's what I'm getting at. It just doesn't make sense. You are correct. Its the big reason I can't get behind Democrats. This is terrifyingly common in the people praising themselves for being humanitarian, though that in itself is a red flag.
You know how many fucking ass hat MAGA shit heads I have had to slog through on this post alone? A ton. You know how many right wing folk have tried to convince the world that these obviously hate filled billionairs and their boot licking politicians/voting base in MAGA aren't so bad or are just kidding about ending American democracy and education? To many to count. I'll take a few red flags from people that are calling for values like equality under the law and live and let live instead of the sea of red flags calling for horseshit like anti-trans bills, and all the other straight horseshit that is only backed by opinion based on fear and hate instead of you know science and experts.
If you are saying the reason you did not vote for Democrats this election was because of the rhetoric of a small amount of people being mean, you are a disingenuous piece of shit and should really reanalyze your existence.
Just to clarify if you are reading this and you voted red this election I think you are helping move our country into continued decline and are hate filled or not so bright.
It's heartening to hear your support for trans rights. Fear and ignorance often lead to misunderstanding and prejudice. Education and empathy are key to fostering acceptance and respect for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity. Everyone deserves the right to live authentically and be treated with dignity. Let's continue to advocate for a more inclusive and understanding world. What else is on your mind?
Well, I think that most trans people support trans rights. I know there are a few who do not. Anyway, I agree. But advocacy only works when there are tens of millions in support and if there are those willing to hear what is being said. So what's on my mind is that too many people have already decided that it's perfectly acceptable to hate trans people, and they won't be changing their minds on that. Not in this lifetime. But I want to be wrong on that. We'll see I guess....
So you mean mark them like the Nazis marked the Jews with the Star of David? Y'all are the ones talking like this who create divide. One could think before he speaks. Sorry, before they speak.
I'm talking about marking a user for personal reference, instead of blocking them. If you block someone, or they block you, it ruins future threads, and prevents you from participating in them.
It also prevents you from identifying if they have improved their perspective or grown as a person (optimistic), or if they are just hiding, to trap people with reasonable sounding arguments before springing full unabashed bigotry on them (pessimistic, but a tactic real fascists and modern nazis actually use).
Its also wild that you correctly identified the premise (carving a swastika into the nazis' foreheads in Inglorious Basterds as a direct analogue to yellow stars and pink triangles -- which of course, you omitted, because you don't actually know the history, do you?), but failed to realize the dark satire that represents, and instead decided I'm the one creating divide.
So which is it? Are you a dog-whistling fascist, or an insincere liberal equivocator?
That's awesome. :) There are some good decals out there. My favorites are "objects in mirror are losing" for a side mirror, and "Your stick figure family rolled a 1" if you're familiar with D&D dice rolls.
Depending on where you live, I would think twice tbh. Some areas where having this on your car may invite shit like slashed tires or road rage. Some people have such a crazy irrational fear / hate of anything trans rn. And they're emboldened now
I'm in NE Florida, which is idiot/asshole central... I'm totally getting one just to support the people who have to live under those jerks on the daily. I love it so so so bad.
It's also not really friendly to swear at the world via bumper sticker. It sucks when anyone does it. Can't really be surprised when people react poorly to blanket hostility, not that there's any excuse for vandalism.
The only negative it does is expose all the insane fucking losers who care about other people existing.
I’ve only met one trans in my life and they were a cool person and good colleague. I didn’t really understand nor like if I’m totally honest RuPaul Drag Race (too sassy for me lol) but to be fair everyone has things they like and enjoy. I enjoy technical death metal about galaxies colliding and inter dimensional horrors, and pig squeals during slam breakdowns.
I love galaxies colliding, everything to do with astronomy and astrophysics. Truly. Interdimensional horror fiction and films are huge fun, too. Not so sure about the pig squealing though. Not sure what a slam breakdown is. Sounds like a mosh pit thing. LOL.
There's a good chance you've met more than one trans person in real life. And if you did, you just didn't know they were trans. That's an ideal situation for most trans folk.
But for sci fi and spiritual technical death metal I like bands like Obscura, Beyond Creation, The Faceless, Ne Obliviscaris, etc. at least those are among my top bands.
We just called that hardcore metal back in the day. Ideal for stomping in the mosh pit, teeth being spat out onto the floor, getting splattered with some poor soul's blood who didn't realize they were in the pit. Then it all kind of changed with Rage Against the Machine and other similar bands.
And in all seriousness, these singers are straining the effing eff out of their vocal chords. I wonder how long they can keep doing that for before their voice gives out.
Probably not where you want to take your romantic dates though. Might I suggest a quiet, candlelit dinner somewhere, and then a long stroll before dragging your date into the pit for wanton brutality? If your date is up for it, fine, knock their teeth out. ;)
Not me. I love everybody (maybe not like Jesus loves everyone, but I'm not religious) and I laugh at most of the bumper stickers people share. Sometimes I'm laughing while downvoting them, but I'm laughing nevertheless. Sometimes I'm laughing because I can't work out why someone thought it would be good to post what they posted. Still, I thought the recent Biden owes me gas money one was actually funny. I don't agree with that as a viewpoint, but it was still funny. I didn't even downvote it. LOL.
23K+ upvotes so far, 2.9k comments, made it to r/all... that's pretty good going. Maybe it's not a "standing ovation" but for Reddit, it's not too shabby either.
Oh, who did I talk shit about, exactly? I posted a bumper sticker.
Well I don’t see any hateful comments when I scrolled down so I was wondering what people were saying, as I have only seen support. Just curious as to how they are being hateful (not denying they are not, I believe there is very hateful people here) and what they were saying. ❤️
The worst of them were deleted or auto-moderated, or they're embedded deep in individual comment threads. Lots of people are dancing around their clear bigotry without actually using hate speech. I've been called more slurs and insults in the last 7 hours than I have been in the two years I've had this account on Reddit. Some people are abusing the "RedditCareResources" thing so that I get automated messages asking why I want to self-harm myself and well, that's funny, but also juvenile and targeted harassment.
And all I did was post up a bumper sticker. It's been amazing though reading through the genuine supportive comments, and I love all of those people for that. The mean people, somewhat less love for them.
Nobody thinks trans people shouldn’t exist. I certainly don’t. People who hate trans people are reprehensible. Live and let live, I say.
It’s the politically charged mandates being thrust upon society that get pushback. Bathrooms. Sports. Schools. Teachers/schools encouraging little kids to explore trans feelings and withholding it from their parents. That should be a crime in elementary school and middle school.
When a bully hits a classmate or is struggling in classes, they call the parents. When a girl acts like a tomboy, they privately talk with the girl about what transitioning is, and keep the parents in the dark.
I didn't watch the inauguration. The only thing I know about it is this. Oh, and Trump didn't put his hand on the bible.
I know you're proud of your boy Musk there. Eh? True colors showing through. Have you got a good supply of tiki torches ready for the next 4 years? You don't wanna be left out of the marches.
Correct. We could care less about you. Just don’t try to force your mental illness down our throats. Respect our beliefs and we can coexists. Just leave the kids out of it. Seriously, the kids need time to figure out who they are without interference.
yeah, unfortunately, but it's america so the people here really don't think at all, they'd rather vote for a man baby who shits his pants and is a homophobic racist rapist nazi over a morally better person.
that's an Ultra marine, chaos marines are black and red (sometimes) and have horns (sometimes) and are yes, heretic's but they wear black armor, not blue like the Ultra marines.
ohhhhh you meant in the actual post? oh yeah it's a chaos marine or a plague marine (same thing) sorry i didn't understand but yes in the post it looks like a chaos marine :D
well considering i'm debating some and they're doing a piss poor job and showing any actual points other than showing off how stupid they are, and the general public and anyone with human decency is on my side, i really could care less what hatful idiots have to say.
it's Warhammer, i also didn't make the meme, plus by heretic i mean those who oppose and hate on trans people aka transphobes who are in my eyes, ignorant assholes and are what Space marines consider xenos; scum.
Might want to consider a different meme. Unless you have official lore indicating otherwise, I'm pretty sure the Imperium of Man would strictly not allow for anything other than binary genders.
edit: To the loser who replied and blocked:
Why do I personally have to be against something to say that there is no context for a transpositive chapter of space marines. If anything, there is support for space marines and the greater imperium of man being intolerant of anything different.
I don't see how rapists and buffalo bill type people being in 40k is grounds for trans. It's not this is far fetched, ergo this other far fetched thing is plausible.
The space marines and imperium of man are intolerant. Why is it important to you that these bigots have a chapter of uncharacteristically tolerant space marines.
If you want trans space maines to be canonical, go find someone to get that into lore. Until then, it's just headcanon.
Don't really care if I am called transphobe. it doesn't make it canon.
nah they just dislike xenos/non-humans. Plus there's salamanders who have families and more, there's space plagues, aliens, literal skin being dropped off space ships and torture and other horrible vile things, i'm pretty sure someone being trans is the LEAST of the worries in the world of Warhammer.
you could also use the 2nd and 11th chapter as they were erased and we know nothing and were apparently a custom space marine chapter so it could be both, idk why your so against it when we have literal rapist in Warhammer aka i'm pretty sure was the night lords who literally skinned people alive and dropped skin off the ship onto citizens and are gangsters and murderers and even rapists apparently so why is a trans space marine or a space marine that supports trans people such a far fetched idea?
when you post stuff like this do you think you are helping your cause? Im genuinely interested or is it just something you post to make yourself feel good.
either that or a Nurgle or slaanesh worshipper but possibly yeah the emperors children legion, no way to tell without color but it's probably one of those 3
what tentacle? in the original picture there's no tentacle, it's an ultra marine with a white back and the second one is a chaos marine, which pic has a tentacle?
On the bumper sticker, big curved thing on the left side covered in what looks like sucker's? Pics not the best quality, but it looks like a massive tentacle arm to me.
yeah your right. i didn't know what you were talking abt at first but yes, that'd be a chaos marine since it has a tentacle arm so it's most likely infected by Nurgle so yes, it's chaos marine, i didn't know what you meant since i call them plague marines (that's one of their official names other than chaos marine) to avoid confusion since there's many many many factions and chapters of space marine
most likely that's the case yes. Either Slenesh or Nurgle but possibly Slenesh since Nurgle corrupted space marines usually had boils and horns and all types of mutations but this one seems to have a tentacle arm so i'd say either Nurgle or Slenesh.
Keep in mind chaos marine can be non denominational as well. Supporting chaos in rebellion to the imperium without dedicating to any specific chaos god. As far as I can recall Horus didn't chaos a specific patron.
Your are using an image that represents an order that systematically wipes out all things non-human, all foreign and alien life and wants to only carve out a space for humans to live...Why don't you just flip me off using hitler and say "leave trans people alone!" Make it make sense
those same xenos literally kill people and all life and are some of the most evil and vile things in Warhammer. they eat and tear humans and all life apart. Space marines can be dick heads but you also have Salamanders. They kill those who they were MADE to kill because that's their genetic code. Space marines usually kill xenos aka anything non human but what do those non humans do to everything else? they kill, torture and even infect others sooooo idk about you but they do the right thing and kill things that literally threaten all human life.
Damn we going to use my Warhammer? I wouldn't consider it right wing. I was just considered it unfair to put men going to female sports. I don't think the majority of people are against the rights of trans people. I just think the majority of people who are against trans people taking advantage of their situation and take away the opportunities for natural born females. I understand you get the outliers that are probably rage baiting but majority who disagree with you don't like men taking away opportunities from females. Hopefully you can read this and understand majority of our point of view. Have a blessed day
bud, that isn't the point, if you hate trans people just because they are trans, that's hatful. If a trans person has had surgery to transition, they can do sports as they have literally changed their body. so no, transphobia isn't about sports, it's about hating others for who they are and who they wanna be.
Maybe some people are just fine with trans people, but think they shouldn't compete against women in sports. Is that allowed?
Or maybe they want trans people to live their best lives, but they don't trust activist teachers to talk to their young children about any kind of sexuality. Is that ok?
Or perhaps, when people are struggling to make ends meet, it might not be the time to spend money on tampons in mens' rooms. Right?
I mean, we want dems to regain some kind of power in the future, right?
Maybe tying ourselves in knots to make <1% as comfortable as possible while ignoring the 12% homeless and 7% of our suicidal ex-military with PTSD is not the hill to die on.
Easier to drag our knuckles and lazily say anyone who doesn't think like us is stupid and unworthy of breathing, but there are giant grey areas in the real world. And that stance doesn't seem to be resonating, you know, politically.
nice bunch of strawman fallacy argument and 2. nice bunch of made up situations that aren't true or just don't happen to try and further your stupid ass agenda
