a 2x2 grid describing different types of homophobes:
Knows and Doesn’t care: “[There is no record of this comment]”
Knows and Cares: “Gay people make me uncomfortable and I should work on that”
Doesn’t know and Doesn’t care: “HOW IS THAT HOMOPHOBIC?!”
Doesn’t know and Cares: “That’s homophobic? I’m sorry, I’ll do better next time!”
Was talking about homophobia with someone yesterday and saw this chart in my mind and I thought u guys would like it :3 I know this applies to many things outside of sexuality/gender/etc and even outside of hate so maybe I should have made it more general :p But whatevs, feel free to edit and repost, it’s just lines and text X3
The top left would just contain a slur tbh
ye that’s why there’s no comment, our lovable mods would get rid of it :3
Seeing removed comments is something that I’ve experienced a lot less, almost not at all, since being on Lemmy and especially Blahaj Lemmy.
You guys, gals and enby pals are the best <3
Missing a category which will give us two more outcomes:
Isn’t homophobic and doesn’t care
Isn’t homophobic and does care
“Doesn’t know that isn’t homophobic and doesn’t care” Aw those two guys are such best friends, I love how they take care of each other and even live together.
“Doesn’t know that isn’t homophobic and does care” Wait you’re saying guys can like other guys??? I’ve been missing out!
I have met very, very few people in the upper right and far too many people in both squares on the left.
tru dat :< but I actually was friends with one of the upper-right type and he was such a great guy! :D He even dated a trans woman (before u ask, not me X3) and they broke up just cuz they were simply not campatible, he always refered to her as a woman and wasn’t ashamed to say he had a relationship with a trans girl :3
It sort of sounds like he was more like lower right, unless you weren’t using ‘gay people’ as a general euphemism for people who are LGBT+, in which case, I guess your friend might fit.
yeye I said in the post’s text that this aplies to many other things :p My friend’s main problem was that men acting or dressing femininely made him super uncomfortable which includes some gay people but he also used to struggle trying to see a trans woman as a woman, so it’s great that he improved on that aspect :3
