Imagine reading a joke/meme and feeling personally called out by it.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
~Georg C. Lichtenberg
(Who also liked his women on the younger side, come to think of it, although at least he waited until she was 16 to marry her. Wonder if he would have found this unfunny too.)
It's a joke as much as promoting hateful stereotypes is a joke
Wow, imagine thinking it's bad to hate terrible disgusting people that make the world a worse place for everyone... What kind of sheltered ignorance does someone need for that?
Hateful stereotypes aren't a problem when the hate is rational.
Hate is more bad for yourself than that it stops anyone else doing or being the things you're hating on
The most oppressed class: conservatives.
Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype
Does that mean you should be too?
I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I'm not scared of made-up culture war bullshit
No, hateful. Just because someone else does something stupid doesn't mean you should
Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren't, you're hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives
Why are you generalizing a political movement?
How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?
This is not a general thing amongst conservatives, that would be ridiculous
Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven't you heard?
I've seen strong polarization in politics, and people demonizing their opponents. Thinking the majority falls in that extreme spectrum is a ridiculous notion imo
Well... if a conservative:
supports gay marriage
doesn't believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
supports transgender athletes
supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
is okay with drag shows and doesn't believe they're automatically unsuitable for children
doesn't believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country's history
supports immigration
supports diversity and inclusion
doesn't believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
doesn't support patriarchy
defends women's rights to abortion
believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

Well... if a conservative:
Is this person still a conservative?
Ah yes the sensitive conservative with a persecution complex stereotype....
