"Why are POC, LGBT, and people of religious and other minorities siding with republicans, anti-sjws, and going conservative?????
Allow me, a bi black male, lay down a few possibilities.
-You claim to stand for minorities up to the point they merely disagree with you (“I don’t believe violent protest is working” is met with “ARE YOU VALUING PROPERTY OVER LIVES???????” because CLEARLY they said that.)
-Association with people that have screwed over the people you claim to be defending (the Muslim immigrant that had their limo smashed on Inauguration Day) and barely (if at all) acknowledge them
-Label everyone of a group who you claim to be out for that doesn’t support you as self-hating (because you know, that’s not cultic or manipulative at all!)
-You hate people of minorities who disagree with you (See previous point)
-The STARK lack of people of the regressive left calling out other members of the social justice movement (I’ve seen more righters and GamerGaters call one another out)
-Some of us want ACTUAL equality, NOT supremacy (hence why I believe you CAN be racist to white people)
-Your methods of combatting prejudice with more prejudice (Combatting immature people who seriously think the existence of LGBT people or women harms them in ANY way with the notion that the existence of cis people, even cis people of the LGBT community, hinders them when their character says otherwise
- “So these groups are easily susceptible to alt-right and nazi ideaologies for being isolated and shunned, especially groups with nerdy interests. What do? “ISOLATE AND SHUN THEM HARDER!!!”
-The ambiguity of whether or not you guys actually shun pedophillia (Sarah Nyberg. Enough said.)
-Attempting to rationalize the dehumanization of people for “being of the status quo” (“All males are misogynists, all straight people are homophobes,” am I supposed to take pride in being African-American and bi or hate myself for being a cis male? Superficial stuff I can’t fucking help?)
-Devaluing terms by using them on dang near EVERYTHING
-Write off any dissent by us with “you’re not the only person of this group lmao” (True, but don’t we deserve a voice too? Why should a majority be heared over a minority?)
-Rationalize violence with mere assumptions
-“Mistakes” aren’t a thing to you guys; everything is malicious
-Holding other people accountable for stuff they didn’t do, even if what they’re being held accountable for isn’t affecting anyone today
-Responding to people asking not to be called a term that was originally a slur WITH THOSE SLURS (Just ask @lethal-cuddles)
-“Righties can’t distance them from extremists, they’re THEIR people.” Yet you guys get away with multiple anti-Gators being involved with sexual crimes in the past, AND attempts to normalize pedophillia (again, Sarah Nyberg.)
From what I’ve experienced, centrists, right-leaners, and ACTUAL liberals have been far more “accepting” than a lot of you guys.
