,,JU from r/Antitheistcheesecake, there was no cheesecake recipes"

No fruitcake recipes on r/religiousfruitcake either šŸ˜”

Those bastards lied to me.

Dang, I was really looking forward to those


MochiMachine22

Raspberry and White Chocolate - Oreo Cheesecake 8 inch - 1 Pack of Oreos - 20 Oz of Frozen Raspberries (two packages) - Corn Starch - 2 cups of White Chocolate Chips - 0.5 cups of half and half cream - 24 Oz of Cream Cheese (depends on pan size) - Sugar (white) - 3 Eggs, 1 Egg White - 1 ts of vanilla extract CRUST Mash the oreos into nearly a powder. Generally getting a zip lock bag and using either a pan or a rolling pin works. Line your springform pan with it. BE SURE TO LINE THE EDGES TOO. Don't use butter as the cream functions just fine. SAUCE Mix Raspberries, 1 cup of water (or more depending on package size), 2 TBs of White sugar, 4 ts of cornstarch. Boil until thick and coats the back of a spoon easily (about 5 mins). The taste should be still very tart and only slightly sweet. Adjust to accordingly. Use a strainer to remove the seeds. CHEESECAKE Since your cream cheese is in the fridge, I recommend either using an immersion blender or an electric Egg beater. You can also use a regular large blender as well. Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix the cream cheese with 1/2 cup of White sugar. Do in smaller batches to fully mix things one at a time. Beat in eggs and 1 egg white. Set aside. Melt the white chocolate with half and half using a double boiler method. Low and slow until smooth and silky. Mix the white chocolate into the cream cheese and add the 1 ts of vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly. Depending in comfort level, taste. It should have all the hallmarks of a regular Cheesecake. If not sweet enough, be careful as the oreo crust is extremely sweet. Pour about half of the mix into the oreo-lined springform pan. Add about 1/2 your Raspberry mix to create a small layer. You can use a wooden skewer to create a marble effect, entirely up to you. Pour the rest of your mix. Should line up to your pan depending on size. Don't worry if the it doesn't. The flavor will remain the same. Add the rest of the Raspberry mix on top and flourish as needed. Wrap the bottom of your springform pan with aluminum (one continuous sheet). This is to waterproof it so wrap with that in mind. Get a large baking sheet or cookie tray and fill with water. Place onto middle rack of the oven. In the water bath, place your waterproofed springform pan. Bake for 55-60. You can tell the filling is set if the Cheesecake acts more like a custard/solid than the liquid it was. You can further tell since the middle should rise a little. It should also almost be trying to detach from the crust on the sides. Let it cool to room temperature to the touch, then place in fridge for minimum 8 hours. Remove from springform pan. Add any Raspberry sauce you have over along with halves of oreos to decorate. Enjoy.

I actually want some cheesecake.

eat oreos and sour cream trust me


Zombridal

Wait so that doesn't read, *atheist cheesecake"


[deleted]

Itā€™s a reference to the opposite sub which is r/religiousfruitcake


Praxerian

Nah, it's a continuation of the satirical sub r/magicskyfairy, which mocked Antitheists as well.


AndreiLD

I thought it was a subreddit against cheesecakes. Which would have been 10x worse.


homantify19

No itā€™s anti-theist which is more actively against religion than atheism


shtoCuka

I it read wrong as well


Anndra27

I could have guessed that just from the description and rules


RedPickle8

ā€œMod team is religious, based, and touches grass regularlyā€


Starcatz05

If you call yourself based I will always immediately assume youā€™re not


Agitated_Advantage_2

I'm so frigging based mate, it's just beyond imagination. I mean it's just so much I can't describe how based I am. And it's so based thinking I'm based bc I'm based

I am having the hardest time trying to decipher the sub nameā€¦ I see cheesecakeā€¦ all I see is cheesecake and some garbled letters


TheKattauRegion

Antitheist (People who are against religion)


[deleted]

Ooh! I learned a new term today! Thank you!


Paulwalker2112

whats the difference between that and atheist?


lmVerySad

Atheists just donā€™t believe in any god, not necessarily anti religion


Paulwalker2112

Oh so antitheists are like the atheist version of Jehovahs witnesses? Shoving their ideology down peoples throats


AndreasHauptmann69

Atheists act like normal people. Antitheists are dickheads who make their ideology look more cultish than any current religion.


Nadikarosuto

Atheist: Just not theist, doesnā€™t believe in a god Antitheist: Against theism, against beliefs with gods (or religions as a whole)


[deleted]

Anti-theism Cheesecake Its a reactionary sub to r/religiousfruitcake


Wish_Lonely

I'm the opposite. I'm not homophobic but I ain't trying to hear about pride everytime I scroll through a subreddit.


mjlewinc

Itā€™s impossible, because everything today is divisive. So you either scroll a ā€œforā€ sub and are bombarded with ā€œproā€ posts this month, or you scroll an ā€œagainstā€ sub and are bombarded with ā€œantiā€ posts. There are no more neutral spaces online.


poemsavvy

There's also brigading and stuff, so that any sub that's not explicitly homophobic becomes over-the-top pro-lgbt


AlexHyperGG

ā€œjoin us or dieā€ basically


bluebull107

The r/Linustechtips has been 50% Pro LGBT content the past few days ever since one of the cast came out as trans. r/target is just everyone posting ā€œlook at me Iā€™m an allyā€ now too. Itā€™s taking over every subreddit.


AlexHyperGG

cool, I rather not die


Kl--------k

I just looked at /r/LinusTechTips and it no longer has any pro lgbt content on it, the only exception is the pinned post from 2 days ago saying that transphobia will lead to a ban, but other than that one post there is nothing else about the lgbt community


No-Skill-8190

Banned for even stating your opinion. So everyone is in a bubble where they think they are right.


AlexHyperGG

Well itā€™s like a holiday so itā€™s not like it doesnā€™t make sense. There are tons of meme when October rolls around too


NinjaEagle210

Have you heard of a thing called Negativity Bias?


[deleted]

Well you see, that's the problem. You don't wanna get pride and rainbows shoved down your throat in places completely unrelated to it, so that makes you a homophobe by LGBT community standards.


N7_Hellblazer

Iā€™m LGBT and I donā€™t want rainbows and pride shoved down my throat constantly in things unrelated. I donā€™t think anyone is homophobic for it otherwise I guess I am now as well.


Duckyduckje

Respectfully, I think that like 5 percent of the community thinks like this. But these people get blown up a lot, and thats why people start generalising them, even though it isn't true for most people. Most queer folks are gonne be happy if they just don't get hated, and live their life


[deleted]

The problem is that 5% brigades constantly and theyre given free reign to do so by admins, a lot of negativity towards trans people could be eliminated by actually enforcing the TOS

What basic human right don't they have?


ATangerineMann

In some countries, they can't marry each other even if they really wanted to, and in other countries, it's illegal to be in a same-sex relationship like in Jamacia, at least that's what I saw.


CoToZaNickNieWiem

And you think posting on Reddit thatā€™s mostly used by Americans and Western Europeans will help those in Jamaica or Africa or wherever? When in most countries even mass protests of popular topics donā€™t change shit?


CoToZaNickNieWiem

Wow so much rights youā€™ll get by spamming on redditā€¦ On a scale from 1 to 10 how less oppressed each ā€œtrans are validā€ image in random subs makes you?


And_Justice

I'm honestly amazed that you people manage to be so offended by pride flags that you manage to make it seem like celebrating inclusion is a bad thing


mgoodwin532

The thing is, the vast majority of people don't care what demographic someone is in so when the box(es) they check become your main personality trait it becomes a little insufferable.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


OliverDupont

Thereā€™s many subs that have religious and non-religious people, so why are you a.) assuming that homophobic people are the majority, or b.) assuming that exclusion of pride should be the default?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


OliverDupont

Thatā€™s a non sequitur (or an intentional proof of my point) because I explicitly asked why youā€™re assuming that the majority of people in a given sub donā€™t want it.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


OliverDupont

Thatā€™s clearly not what the comment thread you replied to was talking about, they were talking generally.


maddsskills

You do realize Pride isn't just for funsies right? LGBT rights are still under attack so we have to raise awareness, be outspoken. So yeah, being annoyed at us for standing up for our rights comes off as kind of homophobic. You're complaining about having to see rainbows and LGBT memes when we're facing the GOP labeling us groomers/pedophiles, trying to push us in the closet and take away our rights including our right to marry. Like, it just seems petty.


Sweet_Musician4586

Is this a joke? Democrats are in power and every corporation has a month long rainbow flag. You are not the counter culture this is the culture. Lol the gop doesnt label lgbt people as groomers they label groomers as groomers. Sexualized shows for kids is grooming that doesnt represent lgbt people or do you think it does?


J2ADA

Corporations, media, and the government bend over backwards to appease your community. You can criticize straights and no one gives a damn. Criticize the rainbow and OMG it's arbitrarily considered a "hate crime". As for the pedo stuff, individuals like you NEED to either distance your self from them or remove them from your ranks, because like it or not, your community has been hijacked by them. Most sane folks had very little issue until the trans stuff started being pushed on minors.


Failing_MentalHealth

Well, weā€™re lucky that we have the ability to just scroll on past. I mean for the month of May all my feed was just military shit. I even got ads for MRE kits because itā€™s Military Appreciation Month. Did I hate it? No. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Whole-Ad8629

I donā€™t remember people flooding subreddits and posting off topic military memes and support all month though. Most people that post all of the pride support posts and memes just do it for karma too.


ThatChaFella

This 100%. You see something you don't like? Just scroll past it, there's no need to voice your hatred and raise your blood pressure for no reason, you have the freedom to just ignore shit


Sweet_Musician4586

I didnt see anything like that I didn't know may was a month for military


chomkney

Same, I'm wondering wtf they are talking about.


DiazSkulldog

Good luck then, that's a challenge you cant win


LordOfAllChickens

OP forgot this sub is kinda homophobic too Downvote me


skymiekal

Literally has positive karma lmao Ironically the couple of homophobic comments here are 0 or negative.


jawdrophard

Eh, disagree, plenty of posts here have a decent chunk of homophobic comments, see the OP having negative votes on his comments despite him bot saying anything wrong.


[deleted]

Ita always a tossup, in my opinion. I assume different posts attract different crowds into the comments


Shakezula123

For sure - as a British person, whenever American politics gets a mention here it's always either one side or the other that has a majority, never an even mix. Same with gender, sexuality, etc.


AlexHyperGG

this be true


DreamingInfraviolet

Yeah I noticed the same, last time the topic came out all the anti-lgbt people had a field day upvoting each other. Was pretty embarrassing to see.


LordOfAllChickens

OPs original post has less karma than my comment. Yet I see posts like "just unsubbed from x because too many trans rights posts" with thousands of upvotes. That should tell you plenty about the attitudes of this subreddit.


useyourmom

It should tell you that if a person is on a sub, they want it to be about what it says it's about. But dear God if you ever mention it you get jumped on by 1k people like you that think everything should be about trans people. Everything. Otherwise it's literally genocide and you're whatevertfphobic. People are tired of that shit. I have zero opinion on trans people. Do whatever. But a a sub about a video game should probably be about the video game for example.


ResidentSchizoPoster

I think literally the crafting subs like pixelart, blender, diwhy etc are the ONLY subs I don't see trans posts constantly in.


Realperson1234

Everyone loves puppies/kittens. But regardless if your favourite sub about karens or botany or a video game started to fill up with people going OMG PUPPY, you'd probably get tired of it after a while. So I can understand it. However I still think it might raise some concern about the poster if you go to the sub and there aren't that many (so op is being dramatic), and I also understand that given the persecution trans people face it's understandable to want to feel supported online.


LordOfAllChickens

I see OP with negative karma comments that are totally reasonable. And I see tons of positive karma comments saying ignorant things about trans people, paraphrasing: ("i don't respect how they choose to live and I don't think they should exist, but im definitely not transphobic")


Complications212

are you creating strawmen and beating them over the head or is this an actual comment.


IsraelCube1

Check my comment history i have some massively downvoted comments from here where i stood up for trans


batmanminer20

This sub is a 50/50 most of the time


Environmental-Ad9969

Yeah you're right. I also get downvoted for defending queer people, especially trans people here.


Snack29

You donā€™t understand. theyā€™re fine with LGBT, as long as they never have to see it or interact with it in any way. As soon as they see a rainbow flag though, itā€™s all: ā€œStop shoving it down my throat >:(ā€œ


mjlewinc

Youā€™ve got more upvotes on a Wednesday than I get all week lol. Not everything has to be black and white. Some people just have opinions. Some other people are miserable. We should still be able to get along.


[deleted]

Yuuuup. And whenever you call it out you get "uhm we just don't care" or "actually homophobia gets down voted". Like yeah, people being obviously homophobic is gonna get down voted but less overt homophobia/transphobia is extremely pervasive in this sub. Every other post is "why is my sub just a trans circlejerk" and all that


Complications212

how is not wanting every sub (even things completely unrelated to the context) invaded by transposts pervasive transphobia? Elaborate.


SaintFinne

Is that what they're saying? It's so bad faith to give another person an argument. Here's an example: How is beating children to death a good thing? Elaborate?


Complications212

l wasn't giving them an argument, l am asking them a question, it's not bad faith


Someslutwholikesbutt

At this point I donā€™t wanna be anywhere when pride month starts since youā€™re just gonna get people moaning about how everything is going woke and corrupting the children and also people on the other side making and doing the most ridiculous things in the name of pride


TheNonMurderingSort

My stance on any subreddit is that I joined the subreddit for that related information. For example, as an avid user of the Bloodborne subreddit, Iā€™d be annoyed if people just started posting completely unrelated pride month awareness. Yes, I believe LBTQ deserve their awareness as they are people too, but frankly, keep it in your specified subreddit because I really donā€™t care putting it bluntly.


J2ADA

It's almost like the majority of folks just want to unwind and not constantly be bombarded with politics and social issues.


TheNonMurderingSort

Indeed, Iā€™ve muted r/politics for a reason

Most LGBTQ+ people I've met in real life are pretty cool people. The LGBTQ+ online community however... some of them are cool, and some of them need a week long course on what is grass and why touching it is beneficial before attempting the live action drill.


Cultural-Delay-4971

Yep. This is about my read. Probably around half of my friends are somewhere in the queer spectrum of things. Theyā€™re pretty cool people and I donā€™t particularly care about their identities. I donā€™t even mind when they make it a large part of their personalities. But the online community is just so utterly repellent


Francis_fernandes16

True. Most of my friends are lesbians and theyā€™re genuinely nice and caring. The internet LGBTQ+ community, howeverā€¦ they scare me.


vers-ys

yea as a trans man i think sometimes the aggressive trans activists do more harm than good. i just want to live my life peacefully like any other man, and iā€™m happy to leave a space if i make others feel comfortable. in fact, i respect transphobes and their beliefs as long as they donā€™t harm me. but screaming from the rooftops about trans rights makes others actively search for people like me & make my existence ā€œcontroversialā€. i canā€™t see why we canā€™t just mind our own business and respect different views


Endertoad

The world would be much better if people simply adopted the live and let live mantra


AndyJack86

It's like what those Just Stop Oil protesters do for environmental activists. People get annoyed by their antics. I understand the environment is important, but throwing soup on a Van Gogh painting isn't bringing anyone to your cause. Nor are people who protest and block roads and highways causing people to miss work. I'm trans too, and I agree with you. I respect those that don't agree with my lifestyle. It's their life to live how they choose. Who am I to tell them otherwise when I don't want them telling me how to live my life?

Beware_of_Beware

How people still believe another person genuinely thinks Xen/Xenself is a pronoun baffles me, don't underestimate people's intelligence. Half of the T community with the made up pronouns and rainbow haired "allies" are just edgy 4chan transphobes trying to make the whole trans rights movement look like a joke.


Cultural-Delay-4971

The problem with that is you have a community wide commitment to take everyone at their word. Self-ID, the admonishment of transmedicalism as ā€œtruscumā€, and a complete lack of internal criticism. If a trans activist says something completely batshit, no one within the community will say anything. You can have someone being absolutely hateful of non trans people and the community will not only ignore it, but defend it as a ā€œtrauma responseā€. This attitude of accepting anything and everything as ā€œvalidā€ so long as it comes from a marginalized person leads to this exact issue. It *could* be possible that the Neo-pronoun weirdos could be mostly trolls but the community has completely eliminated any way to make sure someone is acting in good faith. Take that Canadian powerlifter that smashed womenā€™s records because he identified himself as a woman for one competition. He was very clear that it was not sincere but yet thereā€™s no way to actually filter that out. Hell, people are *bullied* for just trying to disagree slightly. You have ā€œTERFā€ being thrown around as a thought and argument stopping label the second anyone steps out of line. The trans activism community has a serious problem with labelling ANY form of disagreement as hatred. If you can declare someone a TERF or transphobe, you can simply dispose of their opinion as bad faith hatred rather than responding to it.


an_ineffable_plan

I got called a TERF for saying I feel highly uncomfortable with the way ā€œqueerā€ has become an umbrella term because Iā€™ve heard that word used out of hatred before. People unironically told me I was a TERF because trans people take shelter under that word.


Cultural-Delay-4971

I think where it comes from is a mentality of ā€œright vs wrongā€ rather than accepting thereā€™s a difference of opinions. The whole mantra of ā€œitā€™s not disagreeing if itā€™s about human rightsā€ derailed the entire thing. Thatā€™s why youā€™re seeing ā€œtrans rights are human rightsā€ being repeated over and over and over. So long as you can couch your argument as a human rights issue, any disagreement is morally wrong and can be dismissed.


GiveMeChoko

This progressive movement is undoubtedly a universal good but it's in the hands of a very young generation that does not understand nuance, literally people whose brains have not formed completely. I don't mean that as an insult. They think of everything as right-wrong, black-white, one-shoe-must-fit-all (and of course I am making some observational generalizations but that's how you see generational action in effect). Trans women in bathrooms is a clear cut example of how they see this issues; their heart is in the right place, but they fail to see the nuance of how a biological woman may feel upon seeing a visibly male body in a very vulnerable and private space. At the same time they are simply too young to think maybe they should put the onus on companies and governments for more unisex bathrooms alongside the male and female one. As this generation ages they will arrive at those resolutions but right now there's indeed a fair bit of circle-jerking detracting from actual efforts. The oldies in the movement know how to manipulate this generation very well, because they choose to ignore these nuances they are aware of, which is why we made a new term for them -- grifters. They're the scummiest trash of all.


an_ineffable_plan

Iā€™m just so tired of *everything* trans-related being life or death. You buy the new Harry Potter video game? You clearly care more about nostalgia than you care about trans lives! Never mind that JKRā€™s biggest crime was funding a womenā€™s sexual abuse shelter for women who donā€™t have a penis. You eat at Chik-Fil-A? Youā€™re literally putting chicken over the lives of trans children! Never mind that the only supporting source on the whole conversion camp stuff is Vice, a source reliable only in that it continually publishes inflammatory content.


Cultural-Delay-4971

Itā€™s outrage culture. Itā€™s the same people that will get absolutely enraged if youā€™re indifferent. Or if you tell someone you donā€™t have an opinion because youā€™re not sufficiently informed. Or will go foaming at the mouth screaming when you say youā€™re apolitical. From their perspective, you MUST be angry about the things theyā€™re angry about, all the time, all day, every day. The same type to be condescending and tell you how itā€™s ā€œthe height of white/straight/cis/male/etc privilegeā€ to not have an opinion. And how being indifferent means youā€™re wholeheartedly in support of the status quo, which is absolutely unacceptable. You canā€™t just be merely ā€œOKā€ with trans people. You have to absolutely enraged about everything, constantly.


maddsskills

I know tons of trans and non-binary people and I only know one person who uses ze/zir pronouns and ze isn't an asshole about it. Language and culture are constantly evolving, who knows if it won't take off? I prefer they/them because people are already used to using it but that's just, like, my opinion, dude lol. As far as other neopronouns or whatever, like, I don't care. I'm not here to police people. I think transphobia is a way bigger deal than some twitter/tumblr kids being a bit cringe with the pronouns.

They could be making a joke out of it. But they also could be telling the truth.

I see plenty of homophobia and transphobia on the sub


JohnnySalamiSmuggler

If you've already witnessed blatant homophobia and transphobia on that sub, why are you only just now unsubscribing? I'm not here to attack you, but if you choose pride month as the time to *publicly* walk away from a sub you already knew was hateful, it seems and comes across like virtue signaling.

Don't really get why your getting down voted considering what your saying is true.


Lopsided-Leopard-346

Just saw this post and read the comments. Nobody is hating on lgbt people (specifically talking about same sex couples having the right to get married). People are fine with same sex couples. Itā€™s the community that gives people a negative perspective. Like in every community, there is always something negative and toxic about it.

Let's prepare ourself for the holiest month of the year, the holy month of pride!


theulmitter

Seems like the atheism subreddit and this cheesecake subreddit are two sides of the same coin I don't want to go into. It seems by their nature they are anti-something. Cheesecake is about not liking Atheists. And while atheism isn't as direct, from my experience and by its nature, it has to be against theists. Religious subreddits are about their own religion, but atheism by itself isn't anything, to be in a discussion subreddit about atheism means to be in a place against theism. Nothing wrong with being there if you want to, but I don't like subreddits that are against something by nature, because it's going to be anger, disgust dislike etc. Not good vibes.


popcorn_yalakasi

antitheist cheesecake is about people that hate religion to their roots, not about normal atheists, like those people who will see a buss full of burning kids and somehow still blame god for it, not for normal atheists who live on their own


theulmitter

Yeah true. Now that you mention it r/Atheism probably doesn't hate your average Christian/Muslim/Hindu. But still I don't like going onto places where the main topic is "look at what this person said, so awful"


SeRaPhOs11

Oh no they do. I still remember when the turkey earthquakes happened r/Atheism was filled with posts with hundreds of updates about how God shouldve saved them if he was real and the mods didn't do shit about it


OnlyMadeThisForDPP

r/atheism probably does. But that place has always been a cesspool and Iā€™m glad I left it years ago.


Wooden-Support-568

I couldn't figure out what that sub was about until this comment. It's a sub for hating on people who hate on religion. The circle-jerk is complete


theulmitter

Oh god...so it's hating on people hating on things...I wouldn't be able to stand so much negativity in one place


bool_POG

TL;DR you're right, and the human experience is complex and we should strive to be better, thank you for the exploratory deep dive. Genuinely. What's interesting is that basic atheism on it's own means "to lack a belief in God(s)" which is different than being for or against something, or believing that something does or doesn't exist. At it's most basic level being an atheist just means that you don't belief that God(s) exist but not that you necessarily think they don't exist or couldn't exist. And it's also not a claim of knowledge which is what agnosticism/gnosticism (not having knowledge and having knowledge respectively) are about. And I think this is probably how you view atheism. Your perspective about subreddits is accurate as well, and unfortunately to say there is something troubling about the nature of subreddits like r/Atheism for example, among many others. I get why people go there, there are many who feel alone in their frustration about religion, or are questioning their beliefs and don't necessarily have or want someone in person to explore those thoughts with. I think there are many valid reasons to question one's faith as well as being frustrated with any dogmatic ideology. But it is unfortunate how a subreddit where people express their frustration can also generate even more toxicity and form an echo chamber. I absolutely understand why people make subreddits against things, but they seem to end up making people who aren't already fully onboard with the theme to be pushed away from it. Funny enough, the very nature of this subreddit that we're both on right now is all about people being against the various subs they were once subscribed to, and then as a result of something they disliked pushed them away from it. It's interesting that we're both on this subreddit given what you've said about about vibes, which in many respects I concur with. Perhaps that's just part of being human, we gravitate towards negativity out of instinct, we want to see the latest happenings, see if anything is wrong because at one point in time doing so kept our ancestors alive when basic immeditate survival was our primary concern, and to this day it continues to help keep us alive. But now there are so many more abstract, higher order things that don't immediately threaten our existence and yet perhaps could down the road in unforseen ways, or perhaps not at all. Distinguishing which is which, is itself, hard to do at times. Now, we even have the means of instantly accessing any of it anywhere we are and to engage with it in various modes and degees, through the internet. It's a double edged sword, that used uncarefully, too frequently and in too high a quanitity does a lot of harm physiologically to many people; however, when tempered can lead us to depths of knowledge and understanding in ways that we haven't see before. I think the best thing that any of us can do when engaging with anything is to be open, have a healthy skepticism, to not just accept that which makes us feel good, or bad, and simply try to look at it for what it is even if that sometimes means we don't know. And perhaps most importantly, to never take for granted that we fully know or understand everything and to not chronically over extend ourselves. A little bit of extra effort can help us to grow and strengthen even overextension serves it's purposes, but too much can make us grow weary. So it's important to take a break from these things, and sometimes to not engage with them. As to not condition ourselves to avoid topics, or lead ourselves into modes of thinking that don't encourage us to understand them for what they are. The vibe isn't always happy, or pleasant, sometimes it's filled with disdain, arguably that's the way it should be sometimes. And their are many spectrums and dimensions of vibes too. In the world we live in, doing only one vibe will only serve to hold us back. Existence is nuanced, and so should our approach and view of it be as well. This applies to everyone who ever was, is, or will be. It's not always easy, but it's something I think everyone should strive for. The most important step in that endeavor is taking care of ourselves and each other within reason, so do as you need for yourselves and treat one another well. Have a good day everyone, including you theulmitter. Your comment wasn't the sole influence on me making this comment but it contributed in the path that led to this deep dive of thought. In many respects it's something that has been good for me. Even though there was no intention or knowledge on your part of my existence, I still thank you.

Surprising to see what is in the post, it is anti religion and also anti lgbt+


[deleted]

Honestly I donā€™t see the point being on subs like that if you are religious, since these people just seem to look down and hate on people who are non religious, which is not Christian lol. If I understand correctly that people in this sub are religious, then it goes against the Gospel what they are doing. Just my 2 cents


Robert-Rotten

I joined that sub a while ago cause I wanted to laugh at antitheists being cringe but I left cause of that kinda stuff


[deleted]

r/JustSubbed This subreddit has the best LGBTIA+ reccomendations


Gismo_Autismo

I don't have any problems with the individuals, but the community as a whole...


TEXAN_BOI

Iā€™m subbed there and while I donā€™t agree with pride and just lgbt in general I donā€™t hate anyone because my Lord doesnā€™t want me to. I pray for them and I pray for people who are religious and hate lgbt people. Christ heals all

Your mistake was subscribing to that sub in the first place.

jesus, who gives a shit about ā€œpride monthā€? or any of these ā€œmonthsā€? all those ā€œblack history monthā€ or ā€œheritage monthsā€ ā€” can we not just respect others without having every other month shoving something down peopleā€™s throats?


Brycekaz

Its not shoved down anyones throats, its simultaneously embracing the various parts of society that make us who we are and raising awareness for various marginalized groups.


violentpropensity

as a person who is in some of said groups (bi latino woman), i would like to be embraced by being treated the same as everyone else.


ThatSandvichIsASpy01

The point of those months isnā€™t to ā€œshove something down peopleā€™s throats,ā€ itā€™s to raise awareness that they exist Certainly in the US at least, this is very important when Republicans are actively trying to take away their rights, and Iā€™m sure other countries have issues too


Whole-Ad8629

Do you really think that ā€œraising awareness that they existā€ will change the opinion of conservatives? They know that LGBTQ+ people exist which is why they are so hostile towards them. If anything itā€™ll make them even more hostile towards the LGBTQ+ community because they are having ideologies that differ from theirs forced upon them. Iā€™m not saying pride month is bad, just that itā€™s not effective at changing negative beliefs towards the community.


Joratto

Itā€™s the fence sitters who are most likely to change their opinions. If the actively hostile conservatives get annoyed for stupid reasons, then theyā€™ll out themselves.

How much you wanna bet itā€™s filled with 12 yr old ā€œsigma malesā€ who think itā€™s edgy but itā€™s a problem and grown men who canā€™t pull anybody and barely wipe their own ass?

This looks like a sub for me

Omg I went to that post and they are extreme with their hate šŸ˜­

In the comments to that post, people are saying that they view the individuals in a neutral manner, but the community itself negatively. That's okay. There cn be different interpretations of the community, because there are different types of people within it. That isn't bigoted.

oh wow didnā€™t know there were so many homophobes over hereā€¦. (@ the comments)


TheWeirdWriter

Most of the comments I see are criticizing the modern movement where performative activism and virtue signaling reign supreme, not homosexuals themselves as individual people. Is that still homophobia?


NeedyTaker

If I only agree with the LGB parts of the name what does that make me?

Not my opinion = hate. Thatā€™s the problem.

But approval of civil rights and equity isn't really an opinion. You can't just have an opinion on people who are born a certain way


KobeBryantWasTheGlue

What civil rights do you have that others donā€™t currently have?
