Yeah, it seems to escape far too many people that him being a Nazi doesn’t suddenly make gay bashing ok.
Ridicule him for being a hypocrite? Sure. Call him a piece of shit or even punch him for being a Nazi? Abso-fucking-lutely!
Berate him for being gay, or perpetuate the idea that all homophobes are really just closeted gays though? Not fucking ok.
Not because of his feelings, but because of all of the gay people, closeted or otherwise, who see people still using gay as an insult or thinking that most/all those who abuse gay people are actually gay themselves (a twisted form of victim blaming), and realise that it isn’t just Nazis who are hypocrites, but so called allies, too.
Don’t use bigotry* to fight bigots, it shouldn’t need saying…
*And no, calling someone a Nazi, or a TERF, or cis, or white, isn’t bigotry. Basically don’t punch down, which again, shouldn’t need saying.
You are saying outrage and ridicule of gay for who they are is okay in some circumstances ?
I bet if it was straight porn we wouldn’t have heard of it here in lemmy. despite him having been against porn as well.
I’m saying if you’re a fucking nazi, and you gay bash, and then you get caught watching gay porn, Yeah, fuck you, you can be ridiculed for it.
