“I’m not homophobic, I just don’t think gay people should have the right to get married! It’s not like I am afraid of them!” Liberals really cannot deal with history.

It's so infuriating. "Just give up your right to gay marriage so we can get Trump out of office." THAT'S NOT HOW PROGRESS WORKS!!!

But also homophobia is also an actual fear? This stupid argument is ridiculous because homophobes are constantly saying how afraid they are that gay people corrupt society and their children

I mean, there'd be a decent argument to be made that calling bigotry a phobia can cause stigma against various actual phobias, but that would be a discussion that requires actual good faith, and that's not what asshats like this are demonstrating.

Being a fan of Caldwell B. Cladwell is a bit of a sign from that guy.

The main antagonist of the musical, Urinetown. Big business guy whose key song is "Don't be the Bunny" which is him telling his daughter their place in life is dominance over others and that sympathy or kindness is foolish weakness compared to exploiting their lessers.

I guess that person must identify as “transmisic” instead 🙃

This is an extremely well documented definition of this suffix. Read a book.

***disclaimer- I used the word "homophobia" because it is similar and way more consistently documented

"I can't be homophobic I don't quiver in my boots the moment I see a gay person" is a conservative attempt at deflection, nice™️ to see shitlibs using it as well

“You don’t know what phobia means!” “That… wasn’t the word I said.” “Because you can’t define the word I said you used, I am the victor!” And these guys say they’re not like MAGA fanatics how?

Trans people advocating for ourselves and our right to a decent life being met with "get a life" as if it's pathetic for us to care about our own well-being. Or for anyone to. Fuck this guy. I hope they get struck by lightning and lives with the injuries.

"rEaD a DiCtIoNaRy" then ignore that -phobia is used to describe aversions not just fear. Seems shitlibs are culturally right wing but vote Democrat for single issues. They are a fun house mirror version of all the idiots who ignore politics then vote Republican because "abortion bad".
