some homophobic conservative: lock gay people up on an island and nuke them

you fucking demons: wow I have so many questions…where do the pansexuals go? Can ace people join in? Haha are bi people allowed to move between the Straight and Faggot islands and what about

….For a culture that harps on so much about not falling for ‘fake news’ and for blatant fucking manipulation, this place sure as hell loves to do so when it’s convenient to its pet politics of the day! 

I’d promised to no longer give a platform to the voice of any bigots, particularly those turning my community into a complete shitshow. But this ending up on my dash uncritically just isn’t acceptable.

This is the post that OP is referencing. You’ll notice that the fucker doesn’t even link to it – all because their precious paraphrasing turns out to be a giant-ass lie. Nowhere in there did the conservative in question say anything about ‘nukes’ or nuking someone – it was your garden-variety conservative fool conflating same-sex relationships with inability to reproduce. In came a mass of LGBTQIAP+ people soundly mocking the conservative in question by taking their ideas and laughing at them by turning them into the plot of a dystopian adventure. People will probably recognize it as the wildly popular post that lead to the expression of ‘Bisexual Buccaneers from Both Ways Bay.’ 

Reading all of the replies also doesn’t reveal a single person posting anything about any ‘f****t island’ or using the word at all. Not surprising – exclusionary shriekers on here have turned insulting themselves and blaming those insults onto another group (bisexual, pansexuals, a-spec people) into an art-form. I’ve seen it happen over and over again, with cricket chirps or insults when you ask for direct links to proof. 

So, here we have it. LGBTQIAP+ people are no longer allowed to use humor in order to cope with conservative dipshits, because exclusionary shriekers will call us ‘demons’ if we ever dare do so. 

Like the very first two replies on the referenced post are “where is this gay island located… asking for a friend” (mocking the first post obviously, also obviously from a gay or m-spec person), then a long-ass reply that kicked off the whole mockery train, very thoroughly mocking the original post mostly from joking about lesbian island (by a woman who’s married to another woman), followed by more people piling on OP and continuing the joke. Said post has been widely considered a good example of “answer them with mockery” (it’s shown up off of tumblr), which is a fucking proven tactic for dealing with bigots, especially ones not in punching range. (Online, “polite arguing” and “insulting back” rarely work, but turning them into a laughing stock does). 

(The original “wow I have so many questions” was the aforementioned second mocking poster, who was mostly asking stuff like if the lesbians have trees and if so can they build boats and declare war on straight island)

So to recap: OP of this post thinks non-gay lgbtqiap+ people have no right to defend themselves from straight assholes, that fighting against homophobes is somehow magically homophobic, and that we should just let bigots be bigots rather than publicly mocking and shaming them. And that calling every member of the community who isn’t a gay man “demons” is somehow not horribly bigoted
