    Everyone in the world is never going to condone or be a fan of everything everyone else in the world does.

    People who get off to anthropomorphized animals seem to have something wrong with their minds. I’m not going to lie about that or act as though I don’t see it that way. There’s a massive distinction between being honest that you don’t understand or like a thing and it doesn’t fit your values and world view, and trying to whip up a mob to kill people who do that thing.

    The fall-back to comparing anyone who dislikes anything to racists or homophobes known for intolerant violence is lazy.

      I make the comparison because as a queer person it directly fits. Your argument and the argument homophobes make are cut from the same rhetorical cloth and have the exact same faulty logic.

      Claiming it’s hollow without engaging with the argument I’m making is a lazy way to deflect from the need to reflect or rebut anything I’m saying
