Rs are terminally out of touch with normal people

[Anonymous]

friends, by the time you’re using the acronym “tq” and imagining anyone outside your social media bubble has any idea what you’re talking about, you’ve lost the plot. that’s precisely what it means to be too online and not in touch with what regular people think, talk, or care about.

I just came on here to confess that every time I come across this thread title in Politics, I read this as "Rats are terminally out of touch with normal people". Makes me do a double take.

Anyway. I am all for laws to protect not-straight people at school and in the workplace, but I agree with some posters who complain that we don't need to see so much skin, BDSM and vulgarity on display. Celebrating one's sexuality should only go so far in public. And yes, that does throw off a lot of people. I close my eyes and support more equitable laws, because in the end that's what's important, but ugh. I will never go to a Pride parade, like sexualized drag queen displays, or any of that stuff. So vulgar.

You are creating an issue out of nothing. This is why people, especially the younger generations, are not voting for republicans and becoming less religious.

Target is not selling any Satanic-themed clothing in its stores, not to adults, and certainly not to children. The designer behind the merchandise is also not a "Satanist" and says the t-shirt was created to be campy and satirical-something the right-wing has shown they cannot understand.

And FWIW, the artist has been inundated with requests from others to buy their merchandise.

Congratulations, you look like a damn fool.

Target has lost $9B in market cap since this issue broke.

Your problem is that you think people have to be religious ans hard right to think it's demented to dress babies as Satanic trans activists.

As long as the left continues to talk about people who cringe at or are repulsed by this kind of stuff like they are evangelicals, they will continue to alienate people. The evangelical hard right does not to $9B worth of damage. This is the mainstream who is like, hey I'm good with LGBTQ stuff but I draw the line at satanic trans babies.

Honestly, PP, this "satanic" stuff is so normie now that it's almost too basic. It's tongue in cheek. It's the tiniest bit salty. You sound like Church Lady - it's just crazy out of touch.

Ok, give us your explanation of the $9B loss in market cap. Go on.

Do you realize how the stock market works? Target stock is actually trending up this morning.

So just FYI, Benny Johnson is a perfect example of someone who is SO interesting and fun for people who are Very Online -a and just doesn't exist outside of the Very Online world. If you're citing Benny Johnson, you're in a weird little MAGA loop.

But, as we keep saying - the more you stay in this strange little padded walls universe talking to each other and sure you're speaking to and for everyone, the less your chances of winning elections. Not no chance - I'll never be that cocky - but you lessen the chances for sure.

You folks love to slam the messenger even when he is presenting facts.

We get it. You hate gay people and think they should be hidden away so you don't have to think about them.

Well guess what. Gay people exist. They are human beings just like you are. And they have a right to exist and to live their lives. So what if there is merchandise geared toward them. Completely insane to be losing your sh!t because there's merchandise connected to the LGBTQ community. WTF. There's also merchandise geared toward hunters. And Disney lovers. And left-handers - does that freak you out? Left-handers are outliers, too.

DP. You truly sound unhinged. "Hate gay people"? Do you even hear yourself? I have several gay people in my family who would never in a million years wear clothing that advertised their sexuality - neither, for that matter, would the heterosexual people I know. Very, very strange to think of people only in terms of their sexuality. Why on earth would anyone advertise it? I certainly don't care who you love. But it seems you really, really want to broadcast it. Why is that?

At least they'd never wear anything in front of you, since you'd judge them for it.

The whole reason Pride month/parades etc. exists is because of centuries of oppression of gay people. Not just oppression but imprisonment and more. Legalized oppression and discrimination and even execution in certain countries. And a reaction to that is the assertion of their right to exist. "We here, we're queer, get used to it." It's a way of saying they are not going to hide anymore. Straight people who don't like it have no one to blame but themselves for their mistreatment of the gay community over most of human history.

Except that no one cares…? Everyone *is* used to it. LGBT people are mainstream now. Really weird that you think otherwise. And btw, this is the US - not “other countries.”

LGBT people are so mainstream that republicans can still say this about them: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/05/gop-lawmaker-calls-lgbtq-community-a-disease-says-its-contagious/

Um, *one* Republican said that. Not plural.

Oh my god, the clothes at Target are for attending a Pride event! I’m going to assume you have no idea what your family members wear to Pride events because you probably don’t go to them with them. Sometimes people wear Pride clothes outside of these events but not normally.

Even my gay family members and friends don't attend Pride events. How weird that you would assume every gay person attends these things. Many gay people just want to live their lives and don't feel the need to announce their sexuality by parading in stupid costumes.

Most people had no issues with gay people and fully supported their rights until the TQ latched onto the LGB and there was a big shift in the direction of the movement. Now nearly 20% of Gen Z identity as LGBQT which is unheard of in earlier generations. Transgender people used to be extremely rare but it has sky rocketed over the past 5 years especially among teenage girls. You have to be an idiot to believe there is no social contagion going on. Males are now competing in women's sports and winning women's awards, ridiculous sayings like uterus havers, pronouns in bios. Companies are creating LGBQT merchandise geared specifically for kids including babies and parents are sick of their kids constantly being exposed to this stuff. There are plenty of gay people who are fed up with what has happened to their community as well with some suggesting the LGB separate from the TQ. When the pendulum swings too far in one direction it will inevitably swing back the other way.

You claim there are no issues with gay people and then in the next sentence express your alarm that the number of gay people seems to be growing.

If you have no issues with gay people why would it bother you that there are seemingly more of them?

DP. But the pp clearly doesn't have an issue with gay people, they have an issue with TQ. And that makes sense because the expansion of TQ does substantively change rights for various groups, notably female athletes and prisoners. So it's perfectly logical that many people who are in favor of gay rights would balk at the existence of more and more trans people. Right now, trans athletes and prisoners are relatively rare. But soon they will be 1 in 5, and women will have different rights and opportunities than they used to enjoy.

NP. Agreed. Gay rights are accretive to society; we all are better for gay rights and nobody is hurt by gay rights. Trans rights in contrast strip women of their own hard-fought rights. Gay rights and trans rights are not the same, and people see that.

Yeah, no. Gay person here. Mainstream culture has only been accepting of gays and lesbians in the last decade. Most of my gay friends, especially ones older than me, remember all too well of the discrimination and prejudice they experienced in the 80, 90s and early 2000's. Seeing this same type of discrimination against transgendered people reminds us all that the homophobia from the past has never truly gone away.

Please stop patronizing us gay people, especially now that it's socially acceptable to accept us, and insinuate that we are not in favor of trans rights. If anything, we realize that if trans people are ostracized and society accepts it, gay people will be next.

Then you haven't been listening to others within your community. No one is talking about denying rights to transgender people but you are mistaken if you think there isn't growing frustration.

Rob Smith? The guy who complained about Uganda killing LGBT people and then blaming it on the "woke agenda" from the US? No thanks.

FYI, when you search that hashtag, it yields results where is compares trans people to nazi's. So, once again, please stop pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining. Most gay people support trans rights because we are inclusive, not hateful people like Rob Smith.

I would agree a majority of people including gay people are supportive of trans rights like being free from discrimination in housing, employment etc. Most people want adults to be able to live their lives in whatever manner is best for them. I'm sorry but many draw the line at things like Lia Thomas competing against women, young kids sterilizing themselves and women getting raped in prison. "Love is love" is a very different message than what is being pushed today which is why recent polling has shown less support for the LGBQT+ community. This is the truth whether you care to believe it or not and here's an article from the Washington Post showing how most Americans supports these supposed "anti-trans" laws which are really protecting women and children laws.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/05/trans-poll-gop-politics-laws/

I notice that you clowns never tell us about your “solution” to the “trans problem.”

When do you start rounding them up & sending them to camps?

These comments are precisely what caused me to stop supporting “trans rights”. Is that your intention? No one is talking about camps, they are talking about preventing males from being in women’s sports and prisons.

So just FYI, Benny Johnson is a perfect example of someone who is SO interesting and fun for people who are Very Online -a and just doesn't exist outside of the Very Online world. If you're citing Benny Johnson, you're in a weird little MAGA loop.

But, as we keep saying - the more you stay in this strange little padded walls universe talking to each other and sure you're speaking to and for everyone, the less your chances of winning elections. Not no chance - I'll never be that cocky - but you lessen the chances for sure.

You folks love to slam the messenger even when he is presenting facts.
Do a search.

We get it. You hate gay people and think they should be hidden away so you don't have to think about them.

Well guess what. Gay people exist. They are human beings just like you are. And they have a right to exist and to live their lives. So what if there is merchandise geared toward them. Completely insane to be losing your sh!t because there's merchandise connected to the LGBTQ community. WTF. There's also merchandise geared toward hunters. And Disney lovers. And left-handers - does that freak you out? Left-handers are outliers, too.

Most people had no issues with gay people and fully supported their rights until the TQ latched onto the LGB and there was a big shift in the direction of the movement. Now nearly 20% of Gen Z identity as LGBQT which is unheard of in earlier generations. Transgender people used to be extremely rare but it has sky rocketed over the past 5 years especially among teenage girls. You have to be an idiot to believe there is no social contagion going on. Males are now competing in women's sports and winning women's awards, ridiculous sayings like uterus havers, pronouns in bios. Companies are creating LGBQT merchandise geared specifically for kids including babies and parents are sick of their kids constantly being exposed to this stuff. There are plenty of gay people who are fed up with what has happened to their community as well with some suggesting the LGB separate from the TQ. When the pendulum swings too far in one direction it will inevitably swing back the other way.

Yeah, no. Gay person here. Mainstream culture has only been accepting of gays and lesbians in the last decade. Most of my gay friends, especially ones older than me, remember all too well of the discrimination and prejudice they experienced in the 80, 90s and early 2000's. Seeing this same type of discrimination against transgendered people reminds us all that the homophobia from the past has never truly gone away.

Please stop patronizing us gay people, especially now that it's socially acceptable to accept us, and insinuate that we are not in favor of trans rights. If anything, we realize that if trans people are ostracized and society accepts it, gay people will be next.

Then you haven't been listening to others within your community. No one is talking about denying rights to transgender people but you are mistaken if you think there isn't growing frustration.

Rob Smith? The guy who complained about Uganda killing LGBT people and then blaming it on the "woke agenda" from the US? No thanks.

FYI, when you search that hashtag, it yields results where is compares trans people to nazi's. So, once again, please stop pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining. Most gay people support trans rights because we are inclusive, not hateful people like Rob Smith.

I would agree a majority of people including gay people are supportive of trans rights like being free from discrimination in housing, employment etc. Most people want adults to be able to live their lives in whatever manner is best for them. I'm sorry but many draw the line at things like Lia Thomas competing against women, young kids sterilizing themselves and women getting raped in prison. "Love is love" is a very different message than what is being pushed today which is why recent polling has shown less support for the LGBQT+ community. This is the truth whether you care to believe it or not and here's an article from the Washington Post showing how most Americans supports these supposed "anti-trans" laws which are really protecting women and children laws.

I notice that you clowns never tell us about your “solution” to the “trans problem.”

When do you start rounding them up & sending them to camps?

These comments are precisely what caused me to stop supporting “trans rights”. Is that your intention? No one is talking about camps, they are talking about preventing males from being in women’s sports and prisons.

Yes, we know. You're obsessed with women's sports. WE KNOW. You're just off on your little ice floe shouting about women's sports, 24/7, while the rest of us would like children to stop getting murdered at school.

The Satanist is not a distributor. The Satanist is a designer that Target partnered with. The Satanist who designed the “Satan respects pronouns” shirt is the same designer Target selected to create merchandise for this year’s pride campaign. Your friend in that video is misrepresenting the relationship that Target has with the Satanist.

You are creating an issue out of nothing. This is why people, especially the younger generations, are not voting for republicans and becoming less religious.

Target is not selling any Satanic-themed clothing in its stores, not to adults, and certainly not to children. The designer behind the merchandise is also not a "Satanist" and says the t-shirt was created to be campy and satirical-something the right-wing has shown they cannot understand.

And FWIW, the artist has been inundated with requests from others to buy their merchandise.

Congratulations, you look like a damn fool.

Target has lost $9B in market cap since this issue broke.

Your problem is that you think people have to be religious ans hard right to think it's demented to dress babies as Satanic trans activists.

As long as the left continues to talk about people who cringe at or are repulsed by this kind of stuff like they are evangelicals, they will continue to alienate people. The evangelical hard right does not to $9B worth of damage. This is the mainstream who is like, hey I'm good with LGBTQ stuff but I draw the line at satanic trans babies.

Honestly, PP, this "satanic" stuff is so normie now that it's almost too basic. It's tongue in cheek. It's the tiniest bit salty. You sound like Church Lady - it's just crazy out of touch.

Only one of us is shouting and using all caps my friend. Yes, I am very interested in keeping Women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, and prisons single sex. I also care about children’s safety. It’s possible for most of us to support multiple issues.
