It's not an image of bad things or bad people, it's an image of thinks that fucking suck. Being secretly gay, as in, unable to come out. Not being allowed to dress how you want it get an education. Having a debilitating illness. Having such a shitty home life because of bullshit gender roles that you require drugs just to get through the day. No repercussions for sexual assault and a continuing cycle of sexual abuse. All shitty things.
You're the one being a piece of shit, friend. You're attacking people who are disagreeing with you, and refusing to even consider that they may have a different perspective. When the entire world is telling you one thing, you may not believe it, but you should at least consider that your perspective and theirs may be different, and consider whether they're right.
Also, inb4 accusations. I am a gay man, and the only issue I see with this image is it's stunning lack of people of color worried they'll be lynched.
Eta, checked acct history. Not worth discussing anything with. Actively hostile in nearly every comment. Just ignore and block the asshole pretending to care about progressive issues. Bad faith actor likely out to cause disagreement and leave a bad taste in people's mouths.
"pretending to care" fuck you, asshole. I'm a gay man too and instead of ignoring the reality around me like you pretending the right and their bullshit doesn't exist, I actually give a shit.
3/10 troll, or 0/10 reading comprehension?
Dude, no one is doing that. People are, correctly, calling you out for having abysmal media literacy and being an absolute asshole about it. You twisted an image that everyone else seems to understand into an argument that no one was making. Maybe instead of doubling down, you might consider listening to some of the many people patiently explaining how the meme is the exact opposite of what you're imagining.
I am entirely convinced the “person” you’re responding to is just trying to make the “SJWs” sound hyperbolically insufferable, and is either a bad actor or a straight up bot. Probably best not to engage.
Probably
