I'm not taking any side in the Rittenhouse trial. I've seen some pretty asshole memes on both sides. But what pisses me off about this is that anyone would even compare this to being transgender. No matter what side you stand on the issue of whether it was a murder or self defense, it's dirty to bring innocent people into it. And yeah, you can sit here and try to parse words all you'd like, pixiechick I'm looking at you, but there is no need to make every single issue a comparison to being transgender. It was a slam. And it was intended to be a slam by the "I'm not an asshole" who posted it. I'd be willing to put my bank account on the line that the person who posted it is a bigot. And chances are this wasn't their first meme to that effect. It's amazing the number of people I've just watched creep right out of the woodwork with slams against being transgender since my own child has come out. People are cruel. I'm willing to bet all my money that that person in fact, an asshole about gender fluid people. And when called will say, well, but not you...the others... 🙄 You're absolutely right. When I read his tweet on the other thread, I understood what he was TRYING to say. That's why I said what I said. But you're absolutely right, it was completely wrong to bring in innocent people into his point. I'm sorry I didn't see that until you pointed it out, but that's the good thing about having conversations. Thank you for taking the time, even though you were so mad, to civilly point it out to me. I'm really sorry, I will try to be more thoughtful about excusing such comparisons in the future. |

The meme is not against gay people. It's meant to say that if you can understand the trauma of being called by the wrong pronoun on purpose, you should be able to understand the trauma happening in a 17 year old brain that was in a situation where he thought he was going to die and the trauma of having killed 2 people and severely injuring a third.If you purposely choose to ignore that fact in order to make fun of him, you're no better than someone who refuses to honor your pronouns and who you are as a person. Can you even hear yourself when you spout this kind of shit? |

Nope. Wrong again. It is absolutely offensive and a slam to gay people. If you continually choose to ignore that, to try to make it fit your defense of a murderer, then you’re the asshole here. You need to stay in your lane and not talk about LBGTQ because clearly, you have no fucking clue. |

He went there to kill people. Your defence of him is inexcusable. No he didn't. Your statement is not backed up by the facts. I'm defending the right to self defense. After looking to hunt people down for the purpose to kill them. |

This stuff pisses me off - go off and debate Rittenhouse and self defense all day long - don't care - this meme isn't actually about him - it's an opportunity to make a statement about the oh so "difficult" problem of someone wanting to use different pronouns. It's bigoted period - and anyone who doesn't realize that Rittenhouse is a red herring for their real agenda is just fooling themselves. 100% |
