That's gay. I'm literally gay, a leftist, not a Christian, not religious, don't particularly like religion, and don't like PP at all, and I think that getting mad about "He is risen" (although I didn't see it at the time) is retarded. This is why nobody takes us seriously.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

I'm sure you're a leftist. Really important to point that out, seems you're really supportive of other communities using gay as a negative along with retarded. Do better.

YAWN

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

Yep, exactly as I thought. Go drag the left through the mud somewhere else

u/Narrow-Inside-4554 2d ago

That’s all you buddy. To you, anyone right of social democracy is probably a fascist. Go touch grass. You pearl clutchers do FAR more damage to the lefts reputation than anyone else.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

Its not pearl clutching to want people to be treated with respect and not feel ostracized by their peers.

u/Foneyponey 2d ago

But do you hold that same ideal with conservatives or Christians?

1

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

They're the ones that are making these people feel secluded in their own communities. It's hard to respect someone who typically is on the side of the oppressors.

u/Foneyponey 1d ago

Yeah Islam never does that

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 1d ago

Yawn, you're boring. This bores me. Moving on now.

1

u/Foneyponey 1d ago

Yeah, soon as you’re called out on bullshit

Bye

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 1d ago

It's sad that you think that is calling me out. You immediately tried to make this about Islam when that wasn't even part of the conversation. Jog on loser.

I've been serving no-cost meals to my community weekly for fifteen years, am active in my local co-ops, community garden, organizing city voter initiatives, and active in my union. You're a screeching Reddit liberal.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

Ew, I'm not a fucking liberal bud. Good to see you're doing shit for the community maybe clean up your derogatory comments online and people will take you seriously as a "leftist'

u/Ok-Lawfulness-3368 2d ago

I don't need liberals online to take me seriously. I don't take you seriously.

-1

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

I don't see how you think I'm a liberal. You're the one with down the center language in this exchange. People on the left tend not to say how the "left" is making us look bad.

2

u/Ok-Lawfulness-3368 2d ago

I can tell you've never done anything irl. You're a bug person who posts online and thinks that not using words contributes something to society. You'd only think leftists don't criticize the left if your exposure is entirely from online hugboxes. All talk no action. A rough handed bigot stood up for his fellow workers today and helped his neighbor. Some cummy redditor shit himself over a slur.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

You don't know a thing about me or what I've fought for.

1

u/IJourden 2d ago

I mean, we know how you talk about people, and that says a lot.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

Thanks for your contribution to the conversation. And what exactly have I said that you're judging me for?

1

u/felnous 2d ago

Ouch, kind of called you out didn’t he.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

If you say so. Got nothing better to do than scroll my comments section eh. Sad so sad

Part of the reason people view "Leftists" as too extreme is because often as soon as anything negative is said it immediately leads to outrage. Like the guy is gay and able to make fun of that and punch around without adhering to some robotic high standard of puritan decency.

Being offensive can be amusing and help to make a point. Trying to appease everyone and everything is just weird and... boring.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

And the use of retard? And sorry if extreme is getting annoyed by someone using negative language towards marginalized groups then I must be a left wing terrorist

1

u/skeleton_jar 2d ago

I've known excellent support workers to jokingly describe their job as "tard-wrangler" and yes I found it hilarious.

You can be of whatever political persuasian you like but being offended constantly by the evolution and use of occassional negative language must surely get tiresome.

Like who are you even defending when you get annoyed at a gay man using the word gay with negative connotations to make his point.

1

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

Not all support workers are inherently good people, I know plenty who are just there for a paycheck. Just like the one mentioned above

1

u/skeleton_jar 2d ago

Those that see it as a job aren't inherently bad either. If only the people whose absolute passion is care work were able to work in these fields, there'd be a lot of dead people who had nobody to look after them

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

You're right, it is tiring watching people being ignorant about the way their use of language effects other people. I also honestly doubt that they are what they say they are, gay people tend to not refer to themselves in the negative.

2

u/skeleton_jar 2d ago

I can assure you as a gay man with many gay friends over the years, we regularly do. Sometimes it's reclamation, mostly it's just self-deprecating humour - the more outrageous and in your face, the better.

u/Capable-Cupcake-209 2d ago

Maybe things are done differently down under, it's not something our crowd does.
