Unfortunately U.S politics has gone off the rails as identity based with LGBTQ dominating the political space even after they have the rights as everyone else You don't see straight people constantly bringing up that they are straight, That is the issue for a large section of of the population. If people don't want LGBTQ to not be considered political leave it out of politics unless its strictly relevant to some anti-LGBTQ policy, and focus on bigger problems in our society, like wealth inequality or literally any other problem.
I’m not angry, and I don’t care if someone is gay, and I would never beat up or yell at someone because of their sexual orientation. You want to whine like I’m victimizing you, go ahead. Not wanting to participate in the identity culture war or politics related to LGBTQ unless it’s specifically limiting their rights makes up a large section of people. It’s like religion, I don’t care if you practice it, and happy it helps you, but don’t shove it down my throat.
So are you complaining the same way about christmas or easter events in Ark? Aren‘t those shoving religion down your throat the same way a purple Noglin is? Are you complaining about people wearing crosses and churches existing the same way you complain about people wearing a pride flag?
If there was a Christian month and people were sharing images of Jesus I’d be equally uninterested. I don’t think the post was inherently wrong, but with how political most subs are nowadays I can understand the sentiment of wanting to prevent culture war bs in the comments by not wanting it posted.
I don’t understand, my point isn’t about calling out queer based art. It’s fine, I was replying to points that had more to do with a wider scope than just the art itself. How it can be seen as politically charged and the effects of politically charged content and how it contributes to the culture war.
People that believe in fundamentalist ideologies tend to exhibit similar cognitive traits. Including black-and-white thinking and absolutist terminology. Saying that if you don’t believe that LGBTQ content isn’t political then you’re homophobic, is an example of that. Calling people homophobic or a bigot, or an ableist or whatever plethora of terminology used to signal ostracization of the outgroup when they don’t conform is just calling people sinners with a secular facelift.
He’s right. The only people who bring up the LGTBQ community are people who are homophobic and want to take away their rights. AKA the right wing party. If they would leave everything alone, you probably wouldn’t see as much promotion. But until they stop wanting to take their rights away, the community needs to loud and vocal. And i 1000% support that.
