Went to get some last minute groceries, wasn't particularly concerned about passing, but wore a mask because I wanted to give my face a break for the weekend. I get out of my car and some corn fed yokel 14 year olds run past me while loudly have a conversation about 'what is it?!'. They go back and forth on if I'm a girl or boy, I can't remember the exact details of the conversation because the girl in the group answered the two boys with something that shut my brain down. She said "that's a Democrat"...

what-the-hell

I'm still having trouble processing the whole thing.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago

I know right? You can call me anything but for some reason being called a liberal or a democrat is the worst.

Like don't associate me with those Hamilton loving freaks! meow-cactus

You can tell they're just parroting things their shitty parents/shitty Youtubers the algorithm pushes have said.

It's a sad state of affairs the way our children are brainwashed.

[–] FLAMING_AUBURN_LOCKS@hexbear.net 54 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry you got called a Democrat OP

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

I would take "Democrat" to be more offensive than some of the worst spiels that the most heated gamer can deliver to me.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 52 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I was waiting in line at the grocery store today, this dude in front while trying to be polite was like "oh you can help them first". Then like seconds later switches to using him for good measure.

I was just sort of bemused because I could see the guys thought process being like "oh no I used neutral pronouns they're going to think I'm gay", quick start misgendering!

I was just sort of bemused because I could see the guys thought process being like β€œoh no I used neutral pronouns they’re going to think I’m gay”, quick start misgendering!

Definitely something I've noticed. A lot of homophobia being used by highschoolers, followed by "just messing around, I don't really have a problem with people being gay", followed by either insisting they aren't gay or jokes by others about them being gay. Was a bit surprised transphobia seemed less common than homophobia in those groups. Like, I don't remember hearing any overt homophobia when I was in grade-school (just "no homo" type comments). But maybe people just kept quiet with those jokes around me?

[–] blight@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don’t know when you went to grade school, but trans (and hence transphobia) wasn’t invented until 2022 by Kamal sHarrias (PBUH)

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Comrade grocery store line guy, welcome to the Home of Sexuals. We have blanket forts and (optional, consentual) snuggles. It fuckin rules.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago

"that's a D#mocrat"...

That's fucked up. I'm sorry it happened to you. meow-hug

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you found the target audience for "The New Norm."

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is this a thing?

[–] knightly@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sadly, yes

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yo, what the fuck? The content mines are overflowing!! We have Goth cartoon Elon now, he just had to be a part of it.

[–] knightly@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right-wingers with too much money trying to fill out a library of anti-woke content for their failing streaming services. XD

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Streaming service... Because it's the everything app!!! so-true

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yo, what the fuck? The content mines are overflowing!!

So far, only a short pilot has been released and a constant threat that more will be made soon. There was a coupla months where people were making YTPs of it but since no new norms have materialised since, the content well sorta dried up.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Sad, low energy.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

Just remember that in their minds democrats are cool baby-eating communists that run the world and have crazy sex parties with lots of drugs you haven't even heard of

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This is why we need slurs for cis people that hit like the slurs they cook up

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

How about chicken fucker?

[–] rando895@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Doesn't calling them cis usually work? The less clever the better imo

[–] Eldritch@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

In authoritarian communist china and ussr, the youth were brainwashed with hateful stereotypes

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

misgendered AND called a lib. I'd be devastated
