Like I see some ppl saying that they are "taking back" the "weird" thing and using it against conservatives because they hate it. But that's exactly the same reasoning that was used with the Trump Putin kissing shit. "Yeah we're using it aGaInSt Putin!" It was still homophobic. And I get the same feeling with this "weird" shit.

Plus, do the liberals actually give a shit about "weird" ppl like LGBT, nerds, anime fans, social outcasts, etc.? Absolutely not. They are just weaponizing this shit. But when it no longer suits them, they'll call anti-genocide Gaza protesters "weird."

So anyways I'm not really up for celebrating the "weird" shit. It might be funny to see conservatives cringe (for the time being, for all we know this shit might blow over), but I just get icky vibes from the whole thing.

I'd hoped i wouldn't have to make an exception for safety, but yes, if you have to survive by saying nothing when someone says bigoted shit, that's your business.

But people look the other way when safety isn't at stake. I don't want anybody to be homeless because of me, but I would hope that someone who believes in solidarity would risk some social standing when someone starts dropping slurs.
