Edit: I didn’t actually think I’d need to put this here but unfortunately I think those kinds of people are here

Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry

I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people

    Yes, I have a friend who is extremely progressive but is still very much a slut shamer. She really looks down with disgust on women who like sex or have more boyfriends than she deems acceptable.

    She also shows bigotry against other groups of people. Although she would never in a million years look down on someone because of their skin colour, she absolutely takes on a tribalistic Us vs Them mentality for other reasons. An example is the war in Ukraine started by Russia. Did Russia start it? Yes. Is Putin evil? Yes. Are there many Russians who support this war? Yes. BUT… not every Russian person in the world is inherently evil, not all of them want this, many are victims trapped in a system that will literally throw them out the god damned window if they dissent. And my friend absolutely fucking hates Russians. All of them. No empathy about the nightmare situation so many of them are stuck in. It has gotten so bad that she has literally started to hate her chickens that are a Russian breed. She has started assigning negative human traits to them and is insisting that they are negative and bad because they are Russian chickens. It’s honestly getting ridiculous.

      I had forgotten about this kind of problem and I absolutely hate it

      It reminds me of progressive people who want to ban anything lewd or sexual because it’s a “problem”

      Or shaming women and LGBTQ+ people for liking sexual or lewd things and claiming it harms them, have these people even browsed the internet because there’s a whole culture of women and LGBTQ+ people liking lewd and sexual stuff and even creating it

      I’ve even seen some progressive people shame LGBTQ+ and female creators of lewd and sexual content because it’s “harmful”

      It’s not just men who like and create lewd and sexual stuff

      Holy shit, I would unironically start trolling her… Give her chickens Jewish names so when she starts badmouthing them, she might have a clue she’s just being a bigot, exactly like Nazis in that respect of, “everyone of a group I don’t like is guilty”.

      I’d start giving her nicknames of officers that stood over concentration camps if she continued.

      This reminds me of someone who hates Chinese people because of COVID. It’s such a strange way to think.

      politics and personal behavior are two different things.

      unless she thinks the government should shame/ban/whatever people’s sexual habits, then it’s political.

          you discriminate every goddamn day. what people say, how they look, what they wear. that’s fine.

          it’s not fine for governments to do that unless you are a fan of totalatarianism.
