hot take, but a goyishe man playing a neo-Nazi is a goyishe man playing a neo-Nazi and Jews are allowed to a) point that out, and b) criticize his character’s complicity in fictional genocide by comparing it to the real-world genocide it’s explicitly meant to evoke, and c) hate his character’s fascist murdering rapist guts?

straight women who assume every male character who isn’t a toxic aggressive hypermasculine caricature MUST be gay because Softness Is Feminine Uwu My Gay Son!!! are not to be trusted

literally they’re not to be trusted,

they’re actively working to perpetuate dangerous negative gender roles that promote violence against both All Women and All Queer People because they’re reinforcing the perception that men have to be aggressive violent abusers or something to be perceived as masculine

you can’t both strictly adhere to the idea that niceness and softness and emotion Make Men Seem Gay Uwu and also give a shit about homophobia and gendered violence borne of overcompensating male fragility. you’re gross.

good thing you guys donated millions to the aclu so they can defend spencer and duke and these nazi ass clowns, though!

you know, the aclu, the organization who defend the nazis’ right to march and does not consider their violent rhetoric to be hatespeech, even though almost all other countries do, and whose support of the american nazi party indirectly (or directly) led to the violence done by nazis in america since 1977 because it helps to normalize their cause to suggest that they’re “peaceful” and makes sure that they’re protected! so now their entrenched, advocated violence can be spun as “a few rogue individuals” and not THE POINT OF THEIR EXISTENCE!

good thing you didn’t listen to jews when we were like, “hey, maybe give to organizations that are actually based on defending marginalized people [like cair and the adl and the splc and the naacp and everything on sara benincasa’s list/their local equivalents where you live, bc that’d require actually researching and caring about social justice and, like, context] and not an organization whose bread and butter is defending shit like nazi marches!!!

why yes, i AM still bitter as hell, thanks for asking, but also, reminding you that the aclu defends nazis and that nazi marches are to be squashed at all costs is in my blood -- ben stern is my great-uncle.

anyway, two waiters from a diner i actually go to moderately often just got fired for being charlottesville nazis, and now i’m consumed with wondering if the rest of the Yelling Angry Bottle-Smashing Loud Nazis Who Congregate In The Alley At Night also went out there

but literal white chicago cops and christian clergy from denominations that support torturing the gay out of children are totally cool in pride marches, though, and not threatening to see at all for anyone who was in attendance, ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok

“i don’t see how using  swastika is inherently antisemitic when *i* meant it...”

you don’t see it because you’re an antisemitic shithead who needs to shut the fuck up

unless you’re literally participating in a vedic ritual associated specifically with Lakshmi and it’s part of the mantra that your actual Hindu temple is invoking, you have zero reason to use a swastika or excuse its use in 2017

and you KNOW that

also “it was used by germanic peoples!” is... the... it’s not a good argument, dumbass

because it was hitler’s argument, too

and because those ancient germanic peoples appropriated it/adapted it from its original sanskrit use, too, ya white goyishe fuckhead
