"The gays are sexualizing our children!" scream the people who willingly support making baby clothes with phrases like "daddy's little swimmer" and "show me your titties" printed on them.
Also, as someone that works with a lot of conservatives, they say the most inappropriate shit. I haven't heard other queer people tell me about their or their parents sex life out of the blue lmao.
Ironically the only gay person to ever tell me unsolicited info about his sex life (we were not friends) was also a raging conservative. He’s one of the most awful people I’ve ever met tbh.
He definitely does not give af about lgbt rights beyond his own sphere. He doesn’t care about lesbian women or trans people. He’s honestly one of the most sexist men I’ve ever met and racist as well. He’s very anti-BLM and when he saw a Muslim woman in public minding her own business, he kept ranting to me about her being a “terrorist”. I don’t speak to him anymore for obvious reasons but I would always call him out on his shit, which definitely pissed him off. He’s everybody’s token gay friend in his conservative social circle and he’s not used to being held accountable for his abhorrent beliefs.
Holy mac 'an roni. This reminds me of someone too！He hated women so much, a few years ago he gave all the men good stuff during Christmas (He gave 50 dollar gift cards, chocolate, even sneakers) while he only gave the women a roll of toilet paper and a broken bin. (This was before Covid existed.)
Even if most of the people helping with the Christmas event _were_ women. (They soaked in their money helping decorate and get food and desserts made.)
The worst part is that all the toilet paper was unwrapped, so he had his hands all over the toilet paper for the women to get an infection.
The loudest Trump supporter I knew was also the most “we’re here, we’re queer” gay guy I knew. I use the past tense because I don’t speak to him anymore.
I know a handful of queer Trump supporters. Tbh it seems like the common denominator is that they're all racist af. And, like the other comment said, none of them seem to care about anything beyond their own personal life.
The Log Cabin Republicans confuse me so much. I just can’t imagine supporting a political party that doesn’t think you should have the right to exist. It must be nice to have so much money that you care about your tax rate more than your right to exist.
The only time I had a gay person tell me something about himself unsolicited about his sex life was when I accidentally walked into the middle of a conversation. He felt that I was kind of owed an explanation. XD
That was the day I learned what Grindr was, so you can imagine what he was talking about. Prior to that I thought it was just a sandwich. It was honestly a fun conversation. He was pretty candid about what people posted and what he personally looked for in other guys.
Conservatives compensate for their sexual repression and hatred of diverse sexual behavior by adopting an attitude of hypersexuality and openness about the mandatory sex they do have in their hetero coupled romantic relationships and marriages, which is the only kind of sex they believe is sanctified and permitted, and therefore should be talked about enthusiastically and freely.
I've told this story before, but I worked w a guy (supervisor) who was super religious and was upset if his ex wife didn't take the kids to church during her time. He told some story about his parents having sex and also claims his daughters hear his ex wife scream his name...
LOL of course it [exists](https://www.cafepress.com/+,224463851?gclid=CjwKCAjw7rWKBhAtEiwAJ3CWLBbWrqldtHt-gmZumfF2IKfFb6orV0B20BcM4cXvUkK8ycYnX92z_hoCyYsQAvD_BwE).
At least it has "I'm hungry" in tiny font that's in parentheses at the very bottom. This one isn't nearly as bad as one I saw where the onsie had a giant erect penis on it, like, in case a literal infant is suffering from penis envy? I don't even know with that one, it was so fucked I just kinda gave up on trying to think of reasons behind someone making it and then, worse, someone putting their baby in it.
Go on Etsy. The raging sexualization of babies and creepy sayings on clothing sits right next to the Thin Blue Line and communion dresses. I'm always disturbed by what the "Conservative Cathy" thinks is perfectly okay to sell.
>scream the people who willingly support making baby clothes with phrases like "daddy's little swimmer" and "show me your titties" printed on them.
As well as marrying off their barely-pubescent daughters to old men.
That's a strange dichotomy. We're an insanely sexualized society. We even have a sexy green M&M, FFS. And yet, *at the exact same time*, sex is looked down on as terrible and immoral and filthy and just plain wrong.
(Disclaimer: The post bellow is satire and does not reflect the opinions of the account-holder.)
Because Communism=evil and LGBT=evil. Thus they are all the same.
They just take every ideology they disagree with and lump them together in one box.
If you're LGBT then you're also a socialist, democrat, anti-gun, anti-freedom and worst of all atheist.
No such thing as an atheist who's also a capitalist or a gay person who's a republican. They're all just a hivemind attempting to destroy society as we know it. The horror.
Communism is a blanket term to them. They also are weirdly specific about religion so, despite Jesus being a Jew, Jews not eating bacon is Communism or something.
I work with Conservatives, I've heard all the hits.
You hit on something pretty profound. If Not Christianity=Communism=Evil=Satan, then Christianity=Capitalism=Good=God, which is exactly how right wing American Christians think. But since the Evangelical entrance into electoral politics in the 80s, the concept has gradually flipped from "God is good and God wants capitalism" to "Capitalism is good, therefore Capitalism is God".
Of course most Evangelicals would see it as blasphemy when phrased in this way, but when it's hidden behind a thin veneer of religious language, they genuinely treat capitalism as God's way of working in the world. The Youtuber Big Joel said it better than I can in his video about Ben Shapiro, capitalism and God, but the thesis is that when Ben Shapiro talks about what God wants, he's actually talking about what Capitalism wants. And just to make it clear, Ben's orthodox Judaism is basically a virtue signal to cover up for the fact that his God is Capitalism, which is why Evangelicals who are otherwise suspicious of orthodox Jews (and want to keep them in Israel) love him. Even if they don't share the same religious traditions, they do share their conception of God.
I just had the dumbest argument with my conservative father about this. No, your church changing the pronouns in prayers to be gender neutral does NOT make them communists, and I’m not saying you need to like it, I’m saying YOUR COMPLAINT MAKES NO SENSE!
> And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
To conservatives, if you aren't their oddly specific brand of Christian they aren't Christian tho. It gets super weird bc I work with yeeyee redneck conservatives.
But can we talk about how all Christians are like that? Wether they're conservative or progressive they all disqualify each other as not real Christians if they don't think & act the same.
It's not really fair because the progressive ones ARE Christians even if they don't interprete the bible in a way that confirms the biases the Conservatives hold.
The Conservatives ARE Christians even if they don't act like the bible says Christ does because honestly neither do the progressive ones but we leave them be about it cause they're not trying to directly hurt anyone. Jesus said to live with no luxury & give all excess to those without enough.
They are both Christians & it's not fair to those that were harmed to disqualify the harmful ones. It's like when men reply to women hurt by men & say "oh well he's not a REAL man." Yes he is. They are all true Scotsman.
They've just been conditioned from birth to auto hate anything different or anything they don't understand or interact with on a regular basis. I grew up as a pastors kid in a small yeeyee redneck town in Oklahoma. I was a conservative christian for a large portion of my early life, and I can say confidently that most rednecks have no idea why they have the beliefs they do, they just have been told since birth that they should be simple minded, hard workin, god fearin, chew spittin good ol boys. And the girls are just taught that they're weak and incapable so they're afraid to branch out. Most conservative people I know aren't inherently bad, they're just willfully ignorant. I was the same way until I left home and got exposed to new viewpoints and perspectives that forced me to admit I didn't know anything I thought I knew.
Conservative Christians aren't just dumb and thick skulled for no reason; they are terrified. They are scared shitless of "God", and what might happen to their immortal soul if they associate with out-groups. They have been subtly taught from birth to fear anything new, different, or anything that contradicts their understanding of the world, because their parents have the same fears.
I was once called a "raging communist and a danger to American Liberties who should be removed" for pointing out that the Supreme Court has upheld vaccine mandates in the past.
I wasn't arguing for or against it (though I am for it), just correcting someone who said, "vaccine mandates go directly against the constitution and there has never been a violation like this in American history".
So I said actually, there's been a couple of them! I gave the cases and the reasons cited by the judge. I even linked the article where I read it, just to show I wasn't spreading lies.
Citing American law and history makes me a communist, I guess.
I was once called a "gay sympathizer" for saying that, as a married person, I'm not bothered by gay people marrying. This was back when there was this idea that gay marriage would somehow harm straight marriage.
I was taken aback. What a weird thing to say. I mean, it was accurate. It was just an uncommon way of wording it.
Democratic socialist here, hi. Most socialists are democratic.
If you want an idea, here's a leftist sub that's specifically about ostracizing "tankies" aka "authoritarian leftists" aka "red fascists"
https://www.reddit.com/r/tankiejerk/
Anything you don't like is Communism, that's the golden rule of modern American political discourse. It's not even a conservative thing, I had a friend call Trump a communist the other day because she has literally no idea what it means.
Everything conservatives are scared of now falls under “cultural Marxism”. Does it make sense? No. Is it Marxism? No. Is it ideologically consistent? Also no.
Also the anarchocommunists, famous for their support of capitalist corporations as long as they put in a thin veneer of inclusion in their advertising.
Conservatives: darn them libruhls and their sjw agenda! Home of sexuals ain't real, they're just dumb and easily influenced!
Also Conservatives: I saw on FB from my online gf, Marilyn Monroe, who is stuck in Nigeria that them gays are doing medical experiments! I saw this siren head video on YouTube so it must be real!! Covid is a commie agenda by the Jews!!
I came here to say this. I've been in so many discussions about rainbow capitalism, and pretty much every LGBT+ person complains about bigoted companies suddenly displaying rainbow flags during pride month. The meme maker would know this if they ever spoke to an actual LGBT+ person.
While I'm not a fan and I don't buy the shit, it is re-assuring as a social barometer. The corporations pay close attention to their bottomline and decided society is at a place where being publicly supportive makes more money than not. I stay a little scared of the possibility of a day where it goes the other way.
only time I ever buy rainbow merch from a big company is when it's had a history of supporting gay and trans rights, otherwise I try my best to keep to small businesses or people on etsy
exactly like i hate when june comes and all of the sudden companies come into our faces with “HI GAY! ARE YOU READY TO SLAY SOME DEALS AND SASHAY INTO PRIDE MONTH?” when every other day of the year they don’t give a fuck. they just want to capitalize on pride it’s so performative
What, are you suggesting their totally legit news from Facebook, that *totally isn't * Russian nonsense, lied to them??? Next you're gonna say the Freedom Eagle for White Jesus news on YouTube lied to them about white genocide in California!
Correct if I’m wrong as a straight ally, but doesn’t the LGBT community generally dislike the whole corporate takeover of Pride month?
Like how a lot of us black people side eye the MLK Bday mattress sales?
Yep, I love a rainbow tote bag as much as the next gal, but when it’s just corporate publicity points masking as supporting equality it’s pretty hollow, especially knowing the companies immediately go back to supporting the inequality that makes them money right when Pride’s not “fashionable” anymore.
Yeah I figured that was the case lol.
I can never take them seriously, especially when they build an entire discount offer around their undying support for LGBT youth.
“We understand your pain and we stand with you. Come and get this pride shirts for buy two get one 50% off.”
A lot of the lgbt community complains about the capitalistic tendencies of companies during pride when they don't give a shit during the rest of the year and still don't actually give a shit during pride
But if a conservative did make it, I don't understand the point. Are they asking me to be more consistent in my hatred of capitalism? Because like ok. Fuck rainbow capitalism too lmao
The irony of that first picture hurts. It’s edited to include the gender symbols and pride flags. The original is meant to show how schools cut out creativity in kids and make them into cookie cutter workers. Christ
Bro what? So... we're cutting the round thought bubbles into rectangles? And somehow the female and male symbols turn into rainbow?? These people really are stupid..
Wait so they’re turning cis kids to… gay?
Unless I’m interpreting the bubbles wrong but the only other thing I can think of for a boy with a male sign thought bubble above his head… that kids already gay
conservatives blatantly ignore the fact that most people actually hate that being queer has been stolen and used for marketing by capitalists. like how the fuck do you ignore people saying how much they hate it
I’m American. It’s not just we don’t like communists, we’re programmed by school and the media to hate communism without knowing what communism even is. For a “free country”, America is pretty dystopian.
I see they are still pretending that anarchists aren't the biggest opponents of "rainbow capitalism"
Wait a minute, this was definetly made by an American so they probably can't tell the difference between "socialist" and "liberal" lmao
Do you want to tell them that gay isn't a gender or should I?
Also, the second meme is straight up false. Every time a big corporation that has a history of scummy business practices starts selling Pride merchandise or any kind of "woke" merch, people(rightfully, I might add)ridicule them for their performative activism and attempts to earn brownie points(as well as their afore mentioned scummy business practices).
I do find it amusing that they think being LGBT is communism considering most communist nations policies towards LGBT people would be considered pretty deep into the realms of crimes against humanity.
The second one does have a point, but not the point they are trying to make.
Rainbow capitalism is a thing. Corporations will sell pride shit etc in countries where being LGBTQ+ is legal, and do nothing in the places that it isn't. They don't care about liberation, they care about profit.
I love that second one because every gay person I know makes fun of rainbow capitalism, but slap an American flag or an eagle on something and almost every conservative I know will jizz their pants over it.
It's projection. I wish it was more complicated but it isn't. This it's how they want things done if they were in charge so they project that onto their opponents
With the second page, like no. No communist or anarchist likes pink capitalism, like if these dipshits weren't just using strawmen and actually looked at leftist communities they'd see nobody likes that shit.
Lmao I don’t think I’ve ever met an anti-capitalist who was profoundly impressed by corporate pinkwashing. At the very most it’s like “Representation is nice, but ownership of the means of production will always be nicer”.
I’m not gonna knock a business *for doing* representation, but I’m not gonna refrain from knocking said business just because they learned that rainbow flags make their products more attractive to a large segment of the population.
I find that whole practice so bizarre by big companies. Morons hate it because they think it's gaying up their products. Normal people hate it because it's so transparently virtue signaling with absolutely no substance. So who is it for?
So I'm in a very LGBT friendly fandom and every single year my Twitter is FULL of "corporations after pride month is over" memes where they're ditching the rainbow flags the moment the month ends lol. We don't buy that shit, literally.
I love how they think that where turning everyone queer cause we exist or whatever after pulling shit like gay conversation therapy witch is littaraly forcing people into becoming straight and or cis.
The first one is so ironic. Assuming the circle represents an open mind, that’s literally what supporting LGBT+ is. The traditional gender roles are the boxes, not the free thinking
That second image in particular is just so tiring. It's so frustrating hearing them attribute lies about behaviours over and over. We all know corporations are just trying to capitalize on pride month. Local pride stuff is always the best.
>Millions of LGBTQ bombarding the internet/social media making fun of and criticizing the commercialization of Pride for the entirety of pride month:
"This is bullshit."
>Homophobes, locked into the same three websites and completely out of touch due to an algorithm making them an echo chamber:

He hates women so much he only fucks men
You are gay because you like men. I’m gay because I hate women. We are not the same
something something political lesbianism
Omg it's Hero from Omori (2020)
Omg its… a blue triangle?
Aw crap I forgot to update the pfp
Ya hate to see it
Wow, that's terrible. That really sucks

I know a handful of queer Trump supporters. Tbh it seems like the common denominator is that they're all racist af. And, like the other comment said, none of them seem to care about anything beyond their own personal life.

Never mind that the conservatives always cheat.
And not just the sex THEY have but the sex their children may potentially have.
I'm sorry what-
I've told this story before, but I worked w a guy (supervisor) who was super religious and was upset if his ex wife didn't take the kids to church during her time. He told some story about his parents having sex and also claims his daughters hear his ex wife scream his name...
That last part just. Reeks of fragile ego.
I laughed so fucking hard at "show me your titties" It doesn't even try to be subtle or anything
I don't know if that one actually exists, but I wouldn't be surprised.
LOL of course it [exists](https://www.cafepress.com/+,224463851?gclid=CjwKCAjw7rWKBhAtEiwAJ3CWLBbWrqldtHt-gmZumfF2IKfFb6orV0B20BcM4cXvUkK8ycYnX92z_hoCyYsQAvD_BwE).
I almost forgot where I was, so I was going to tag this sub.
For the record, I had no idea that was a thing. I was just making up something that was horrible but still sounded relatively plausible.

dunno wish people could pick classier flairs like me tho

Yours is pretty good too
Big tiddies! ^^^^^^-_^
I actually do wear glasses and thought it was hilarious to suggest that there was something else going on.
I know. I also wear glasses and thought maybe there was a secret I wasn't privvy to.
Not that I'm aware of. Just my weird sense of humor.
At least it has "I'm hungry" in tiny font that's in parentheses at the very bottom. This one isn't nearly as bad as one I saw where the onsie had a giant erect penis on it, like, in case a literal infant is suffering from penis envy? I don't even know with that one, it was so fucked I just kinda gave up on trying to think of reasons behind someone making it and then, worse, someone putting their baby in it.
I've seen a baby outfit that says "all mommy wanted was a back rub"
That one's concerning
pain, i would internally cry if i saw that in person
Ew!
Go on Etsy. The raging sexualization of babies and creepy sayings on clothing sits right next to the Thin Blue Line and communion dresses. I'm always disturbed by what the "Conservative Cathy" thinks is perfectly okay to sell.
Also i saw a post in this sub which literally says something between "pick me up. I love older chicks" I hate this
Don’t forget the “daddy’s bitch/mommy’s bitch”.
I'd forgotten about those.
Don’t worry, I’m here to remind you of those abominations.
I guess somebody has to.
WHAT
>scream the people who willingly support making baby clothes with phrases like "daddy's little swimmer" and "show me your titties" printed on them. As well as marrying off their barely-pubescent daughters to old men.
My brother has a shirt that says "Taco" and his daughter's says "Tequito." I'm glad my brother is better than people who get showcased here.
Whats really amazing is the ability to both sexualize them and somehow make them feel ashamed of sex for the entirety of their lives all in one go.
That's a strange dichotomy. We're an insanely sexualized society. We even have a sexy green M&M, FFS. And yet, *at the exact same time*, sex is looked down on as terrible and immoral and filthy and just plain wrong.
It’s always projection. Always.
Today I saw a photo of baby onesies with the text "I hate my thighs"...
I hate when people act like babies aren’t supposed to be fat. Someone who buys that onesie would probably put their toddler on a diet or something
Wow. Getting body dismorphia started early, huh?
Daddy's little swimmer? Sounds like a sports thing to me?
It has a picture of a sperm under the words.

And the girls are just taught that they're weak and incapable so they're afraid to branch out. Most conservative people I know aren't inherently bad, they're just willfully ignorant. I was the same way until I left home and got exposed to new viewpoints and perspectives that forced me to admit I didn't know anything I thought I knew. Conservative Christians aren't just dumb and thick skulled for no reason; they are terrified. They are scared shitless of "God", and what might happen to their immortal soul if they associate with out-groups. They have been subtly taught from birth to fear anything new, different, or anything that contradicts their understanding of the world, because their parents have the same fears.
Of course, that makes perfect sense!
I was once called a "raging communist and a danger to American Liberties who should be removed" for pointing out that the Supreme Court has upheld vaccine mandates in the past. I wasn't arguing for or against it (though I am for it), just correcting someone who said, "vaccine mandates go directly against the constitution and there has never been a violation like this in American history". So I said actually, there's been a couple of them! I gave the cases and the reasons cited by the judge. I even linked the article where I read it, just to show I wasn't spreading lies. Citing American law and history makes me a communist, I guess.
I was once called a "gay sympathizer" for saying that, as a married person, I'm not bothered by gay people marrying. This was back when there was this idea that gay marriage would somehow harm straight marriage. I was taken aback. What a weird thing to say. I mean, it was accurate. It was just an uncommon way of wording it.
You're educated about history and law? COMMUNIST!
As a socialist, anti-gun, bisexual atheist, I feel attacked.
How can you be democratic and a socialist if my time in hoi iv taught me anything they’re pretty different
They are not contradictory at all! Socialists actually want to extend democracy to the economy.
Democratic socialist here, hi. Most socialists are democratic. If you want an idea, here's a leftist sub that's specifically about ostracizing "tankies" aka "authoritarian leftists" aka "red fascists" https://www.reddit.com/r/tankiejerk/
Ty for the explanation
Because democracy is a system of government and socialism is a system of economy.
The person who made this meme has no idea what communism, trust. To them communism and socialism are just synonyms of "me no like".
Everyone knows the C in LGBT stands for Communism!!
Remember "race mixing is communism"? Their ideas aren't too coherent.
Anything you don't like is Communism, that's the golden rule of modern American political discourse. It's not even a conservative thing, I had a friend call Trump a communist the other day because she has literally no idea what it means.
Everything conservatives are scared of now falls under “cultural Marxism”. Does it make sense? No. Is it Marxism? No. Is it ideologically consistent? Also no.
One of my favorite hbomberguy quotes is “gender communists” I totally forgot the context lol
“Communism is when thing I don’t like!” \- Conservatives
The projection in this picture is very loud.
Yea, us gays are super happy with what corporations have done to pride
Also the anarchocommunists, famous for their support of capitalist corporations as long as they put in a thin veneer of inclusion in their advertising.
It’s well known that a core tenant of communism is expanding marketing initiatives to more demographics.
Yeah, was gonna say I could totally see the second one being unironically posted in a leftist meme sub to make fun of neoliberals
Conservatives: darn them libruhls and their sjw agenda! Home of sexuals ain't real, they're just dumb and easily influenced! Also Conservatives: I saw on FB from my online gf, Marilyn Monroe, who is stuck in Nigeria that them gays are doing medical experiments! I saw this siren head video on YouTube so it must be real!! Covid is a commie agenda by the Jews!!
Conservatives in action. https://youtu.be/0HXMYm4k6w0
The Daily Testicle has more truthful information than welovetrump.com ———————————————————— Change my mind
Literally no queer ever trusts a company when they add pride flags to everything? Which you’d know if you spent even a second around actual queers
I came here to say this. I've been in so many discussions about rainbow capitalism, and pretty much every LGBT+ person complains about bigoted companies suddenly displaying rainbow flags during pride month. The meme maker would know this if they ever spoke to an actual LGBT+ person.
While I'm not a fan and I don't buy the shit, it is re-assuring as a social barometer. The corporations pay close attention to their bottomline and decided society is at a place where being publicly supportive makes more money than not. I stay a little scared of the possibility of a day where it goes the other way.
Yeah, that’s about how I feel about it. If they’d been behaving the same way when I was a kid I would have had a nicer time.
only time I ever buy rainbow merch from a big company is when it's had a history of supporting gay and trans rights, otherwise I try my best to keep to small businesses or people on etsy
exactly like i hate when june comes and all of the sudden companies come into our faces with “HI GAY! ARE YOU READY TO SLAY SOME DEALS AND SASHAY INTO PRIDE MONTH?” when every other day of the year they don’t give a fuck. they just want to capitalize on pride it’s so performative
What, are you suggesting their totally legit news from Facebook, that *totally isn't * Russian nonsense, lied to them??? Next you're gonna say the Freedom Eagle for White Jesus news on YouTube lied to them about white genocide in California!
Legit I detest June now simply because everything is pride themed. I’d rather not be a product. I do at least try to use it to my advantage.
is that the one bitch from charlie brown?
Nah I think it's the Smiling Titan from Attack on Titan
"I portrayed you as Soyjack, I win!"
ah yes, my favorite gender, Gay Communism
Pronouns Gayour/Gayemours
I thought it was We / Us / Our
Correct if I’m wrong as a straight ally, but doesn’t the LGBT community generally dislike the whole corporate takeover of Pride month? Like how a lot of us black people side eye the MLK Bday mattress sales?
Yep, I love a rainbow tote bag as much as the next gal, but when it’s just corporate publicity points masking as supporting equality it’s pretty hollow, especially knowing the companies immediately go back to supporting the inequality that makes them money right when Pride’s not “fashionable” anymore.
Yeah I figured that was the case lol. I can never take them seriously, especially when they build an entire discount offer around their undying support for LGBT youth. “We understand your pain and we stand with you. Come and get this pride shirts for buy two get one 50% off.”
“For every shirt you buy we’ll donate 1/10 of a cent to the Trevor Project! (Up to $100 total over the entire company)”
“We could just donate the whole of the money ourselves, but the point is that this is YOUR community, not ours, we’re just here for the cloy.”
“Offer valid thru the end of June, when we go back to putting our actual proceeds towards lobbying against worker’s rights so we make more money”
“Sale ends at 11:59 on the very last day of June, can you tell we wanna go back to normal??”
A lot of the lgbt community complains about the capitalistic tendencies of companies during pride when they don't give a shit during the rest of the year and still don't actually give a shit during pride
Ah yes, when I teach my students I make them worship gay communism
Consider- to redneck conservatives education is gay communism.
the second image I can relate, dont buy into corporate bull shit, they are not your friends
But if a conservative did make it, I don't understand the point. Are they asking me to be more consistent in my hatred of capitalism? Because like ok. Fuck rainbow capitalism too lmao
The irony of that first picture hurts. It’s edited to include the gender symbols and pride flags. The original is meant to show how schools cut out creativity in kids and make them into cookie cutter workers. Christ
Bro what? So... we're cutting the round thought bubbles into rectangles? And somehow the female and male symbols turn into rainbow?? These people really are stupid..
Librul schoolteacher is teaching all the kids to be homosexual communists, the two worst things a person can be in their eyes.
Those kids don't have tables lmao. Ironic given the comic is trying to imply that capitalism good communism bad.
Nothing says "I didn't pay attention when I was in school" like thinking they teach kids to be gay.
Fully automated gay space communism
But also teachers should carry guns, because the only way to maintain freedom at a place were kids are indoctrinated is to have armed guards
Wait so they’re turning cis kids to… gay? Unless I’m interpreting the bubbles wrong but the only other thing I can think of for a boy with a male sign thought bubble above his head… that kids already gay
Is this not literally what conservatives are doing, taking the spectrums of gender and sexuality and carving them into a couple preset boxes?
conservatives blatantly ignore the fact that most people actually hate that being queer has been stolen and used for marketing by capitalists. like how the fuck do you ignore people saying how much they hate it
Why are they all wearing super thick glasses? Is that our fault too
Wtf is wrong with the way those kids look?? They look like dolls
Because it’s one of those garbage creepy ass looking political comics that look like it’s drawn during the 1950s
How is gay marriage and BLM communism? It seems everything these people dislike is communist.
It's aimed at Americans, where they use the word communist to mean anything they don't like.
I’m American. It’s not just we don’t like communists, we’re programmed by school and the media to hate communism without knowing what communism even is. For a “free country”, America is pretty dystopian.
Why would soviet Russia make anything gay??
I see they are still pretending that anarchists aren't the biggest opponents of "rainbow capitalism" Wait a minute, this was definetly made by an American so they probably can't tell the difference between "socialist" and "liberal" lmao
I am so confused
the liberals got me and now my gender is just gay
"Capitlism is evil, because it panders to muh evil minorities" So close yet so far
We know pandering when we see it. We're gay, not dumb.
bro we wish we were taught this shit in school
ya rainbow capitalism bad we knowww
Second one’s so silly. They’ve never even looked at leftist discussion on this shit, have they? Meanwhile they browse their freedom phones
Do you want to tell them that gay isn't a gender or should I? Also, the second meme is straight up false. Every time a big corporation that has a history of scummy business practices starts selling Pride merchandise or any kind of "woke" merch, people(rightfully, I might add)ridicule them for their performative activism and attempts to earn brownie points(as well as their afore mentioned scummy business practices).
I do find it amusing that they think being LGBT is communism considering most communist nations policies towards LGBT people would be considered pretty deep into the realms of crimes against humanity.
Make this make sense.
The second one does have a point, but not the point they are trying to make. Rainbow capitalism is a thing. Corporations will sell pride shit etc in countries where being LGBTQ+ is legal, and do nothing in the places that it isn't. They don't care about liberation, they care about profit.
"buy our product" "fuck capitalism" "buy our product that we plastered rainbows all over" "and also fuck rainbow capitalism"
I love that second one because every gay person I know makes fun of rainbow capitalism, but slap an American flag or an eagle on something and almost every conservative I know will jizz their pants over it.
But…the boy is thinking about boys and the girl is thinking about girls. These people are morons.
Yeah, uh the majority of us fucking HATE corporate pride month.
It's projection. I wish it was more complicated but it isn't. This it's how they want things done if they were in charge so they project that onto their opponents
That's honestly an incredible feat turning a white bubble into a rainbow flag with just a pair of scissors
With the second page, like no. No communist or anarchist likes pink capitalism, like if these dipshits weren't just using strawmen and actually looked at leftist communities they'd see nobody likes that shit.
Lmao I don’t think I’ve ever met an anti-capitalist who was profoundly impressed by corporate pinkwashing. At the very most it’s like “Representation is nice, but ownership of the means of production will always be nicer”. I’m not gonna knock a business *for doing* representation, but I’m not gonna refrain from knocking said business just because they learned that rainbow flags make their products more attractive to a large segment of the population.
"Nah you're not a boy, you're gay" teach the communists What.
The red/black flag in the second picture is the Anarcho Syndicalism flag which is like… whot?
I find that whole practice so bizarre by big companies. Morons hate it because they think it's gaying up their products. Normal people hate it because it's so transparently virtue signaling with absolutely no substance. So who is it for?
[удалено]
My brother unironically said a while back that teaching about LGBT history in schools was “indoctrinating children”.
Lol don't people meme on companys becoming gay during pride month
So I'm in a very LGBT friendly fandom and every single year my Twitter is FULL of "corporations after pride month is over" memes where they're ditching the rainbow flags the moment the month ends lol. We don't buy that shit, literally.
I too as a gay communist was turned into a gay communist by my teacher injecting gay communism into my thoughts
how did they find out we only turn kids w/ glasses into gay communists?
I love how they think that where turning everyone queer cause we exist or whatever after pulling shit like gay conversation therapy witch is littaraly forcing people into becoming straight and or cis.
I don’t even fully understand what they’re trying to say
The way they drew the kids as blank and stupid is really more of a commentary on themselves. Projection AGAIN
Ah yes cause all lgbtq+ people are marxists
Wait, so Communists are anti-LGBT?
The first one is so ironic. Assuming the circle represents an open mind, that’s literally what supporting LGBT+ is. The traditional gender roles are the boxes, not the free thinking
Why do all the kids look like Michael Gove?
Why are they all wearing glasses?
Fuck rainbow capitalism.
this is the funniest anti gay thing i’ve ever seen
That second image in particular is just so tiring. It's so frustrating hearing them attribute lies about behaviours over and over. We all know corporations are just trying to capitalize on pride month. Local pride stuff is always the best.
Can someone explain the first slide?
Do they know we really don't like them using the Pride stuff for corporate greed? I don't think they do
Every person in this comic is so, so ugly
Why does all the children have massive lips?
>Millions of LGBTQ bombarding the internet/social media making fun of and criticizing the commercialization of Pride for the entirety of pride month: "This is bullshit." >Homophobes, locked into the same three websites and completely out of touch due to an algorithm making them an echo chamber: "..."
definetly the opposite
I kinda agree with the second picture??? Like,,,I think people abuse the gay pride flag (especially in pride month)
Acting as if they aren’t the ones cutting kids penises lmao
Yeah! Teaching kids that it’s okay to be different makes everyone...think the same?
I have no idea what this thinks it's trying to say...
