Ik, I don't like LGBTQphobia (since 1.why? 2.my gf is bi), but if they are joking about it, that seems fine to me since they don't actually have a phobia of LGBTQ

I mean yeah sometimes it's a joke, but it's not very funny

Yea

I don't usually make lgbtq jokes in general

My reasons to hate LGBTQphobia are as same as you :D

what I have been trying to say for like half an hour now-

people are making fun of trans people and pronouns

but not attacking.

i never said you were

people can lie

bruh I could show you the image
it's gotten annoying because people rarely enforce this rule unless prompted to
i get if it's a joke, but sometimes jokes go too far
like say your friend is wearing a wool sweater, so you start calling them a sheep. If the friend asks you to stop and you don't, it's crossed the line from being a joke into being bullying. Sometimes the friend will be fine with their new nickname, but it all depends on the circumstances

people rarely enforce the rule because it's rarely broken. and this is not one of those rare occasions.

"say your friend is wearing a wool sweater, so you start calling them a sheep. If the friend asks you to stop and you don't, it's crossed the line from being a joke into being bullying."

No, we're making jokes about the whole community. It's not one person we're making fun of (well, we are calling you in particular a snowflake but that is besides the point). And it's for everyone to look at, not just you personally. Equal jokes for everyone.

it was a metaphor
and it's more serious if you're insulting an entire community because then you have an entire community who's got it in for you.
Again, fine if it's a joke, but it sounded serious and this isn't the first time i've seen this stuff posted, and i'm sure people protested against it

Again, just because people get offended by the joke doesn't make it a different joke at all.

It actually makes it funnier for everyone when you get offended because you're completely oblivious to the fact that it is indeed a joke.

"but it sounded serious."
oh no it sounded serious. that must mean the LGBTQ community is under attack! disapprove all memes!!!!!!!!

lol ok so if we accept homophobia are we allowed to make fun of straight people?
and also, not all of us do that. in fact, very few of us do that
you only see it so often on the internet because it's controversial and people like controversy

Jokes aren't homophobia. i know you want to believe that they are more than anything, but they aren't.

if i posted something racist and claimed it was "just a joke" it would still get unfeatured.
people attack each other and then claim to just be joking all the time
I have a friend in my theatre class who is called racial slurs every day, and she hates it.
the group calling her those slurs know it, but they still do under the false claim that they are "joking"

And I can tell you now that the jokes we're saying here are nothing compared to that. So that's not a very good example.

No one is saying slurs. No one is attacking people.

my point was that anyone can say they're "joking", and we have to be able to tell if they're lying or not

And anyone with a brain in their head would be able to tell that these are obviously jokes, and that they are not at all comparable to saying slurs and calling them jokes.

I fuqing hate it
