reactionaries are targeting and killing trans people every day and rainbow capitalism has not in any way ended homophobia.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

grown up before the rise of rainbow capitalism
how little are you guys
I also grew up after/during rainbow capitalism and I'm about to finish college. Some people are old
There are about to be adults born in 2007.
TF2 is about to go to uni
Full round back to "bourgeoise decadence"?
Not sure what you mean by that, care to elaborate?
I am not a clever man and I have begun to realize that I lack a basic understanding of sexuality, mine and others'. I'm a super suspicious person so my first thought was how do I get informational materials from an LGBT group that hasn't been co-opted by Black Rock or something.
After doing some research, I actually just found some alternatives to Pride that are staunchly anti-corporate:
Queer Liberation March
Gay Shame
Against Equality
Queeruption
Now statistically, one or two of those are likely to be reactionaries who got to the correct answer for the wrong reasons, or those kinda LGB dorks.
I think I maybe get what you mean, I've noticed I have a disproportionate amount of disdain or resentment for wealthy white gay guys. Rational or not, they seem like a convenient focal point lol for these overarching issues.
My main post was facetious. I'm a coward and if getting caught doing the gay posed a real risk to my life I'd probably minimize that. The pigs would never catch me in removedrante delicto.
I admire the courage and sacrifice of the people who got us here. It was a path often paved with blood. It just stings to see the loudest voices in LGBT be the people with the absolute lowest risk of being persecuted/harmed/killed. I also know too many gay white guys in finance and finance-adjacent fields, so they migjt just be the worst examples.lol.
I think your post was funny, made me think of a guy so anticapitalist yet the only gayness he knew was rainbow capitalism he ended up bigoted, and then I remembered the "communist" homophobia line of "burgeois decadence"
Did they actually remove the first part of in flagrante delicto, or did you spell it differently?
I uhh attempted an ill-advised pun.
Consolation lame joke: in flagranate delicto already means "being a flamer".
Don't worry, fascists will soon kill all progress activists have made in the USA and Europe. Your time will come
some funny excerpts from the natopedia article on rainbow capitalism:
After the Second World War, Western culture was influenced by the homophobia of fascism
In the United States, accommodation of the LGBT community through capitalist mechanisms has resulted in economic and societal protections for the LGBT community greater than those prescribed under the law. Under the American economic system, employers are incentivized to support the workforce[...]
I guess there were some missteps in the 30s and 40s, when our glorious western culture was tainted by the foreign ideology of fascism. Luckily, thanks to the power of the free market, this has been corrected and discrimination against the gays has been fixed by the invisible hand.
As always, natopedia is fair and balanced. Equal weight to pros and cons, and always presenting both sides of the issue.
[Gay] neighborhoods [...] gradually underwent the gentrification process. Rising prices expelled the LGBT population that could not afford the new expenses.
Different companies and firms in turn began incorporating the defense of LGBT rights into their company policies and codes of conduct, and even financing LGBT events.
On the one hand, you might now be homeless. On the other hand, a CEO might pay some lip service to you (while spending millions to make gay marriage illegal again).
The "Responses" section of the wiki page may perhaps contain some scholarly analysis or proposed solutions to some of these problems...
Responses
Ron DeSantis and other Republicans criticized Disney for being "woke"
the solution to this is simple - we have to get so gay that they both have to make it illegal again and that their laws are powerless to stop our gayness
~~Strong disagree, it took me most of the decade after gay marriage passed to even come out to myself, I wish I was much younger so I wouldn't have all his internalized homophobia~~
I didn't see what comm we were in
The kids are alright. The gayest generation, they're saying.
No.
