I actually can't think of anyone who's actively homophobic anymore, most people have moved on to hating mexicans.

Oh! No you won't see it there Twitter bans people that are openly expressing or promoting hate I'm fairly sure.

Yeah, maybe it's just my corner of the internet, reddit (with reposts from twitter/tumblr), gamefaqs, and discord. But I don't see active gay-hate anymore.

I think it's relatively difficult to do homophobic dog whistling, unlike your more common racial dog whistling.

It is but some users try slipping it in. Zeus hasnt since he made a limp wrist joke about me years back. But that was after he said my being black could only get me into a clown college.

it definitely still happens. the fanbase of a podcast i used to listen to turned super alt-right over the course of like 6 months and started calling everyone they didnt like the f word (gay slur) on their subreddit. that sub got banned like 3 months ago though.

Hell, if "BLM" had just gone with "police brutality sucks" or something that didn't make everything about race imstead, I can't help but think a lot more people would be on their side.

Dont go off on a tangent this is about coopting somebody's mantra for your own, not the origin of the name.

"Shrug" you're one suggesting something is wrong with the name. The only people who have a problem with it are racists who would have an issue with the message regardless of what the title was.

i mean the bar is so low for what gets called "racist" these days, but if you want to alienate a large portion of the population that is never going to get past the branding to care about the message, then have at it i guess.

The people who care about the title are the people who see the staged riots and think that is the entire message.

It still happens but it's mostly disorganized and individual incidents. So you'll get some homophobic jerkass throwing a fit because the IKEA employee helping her out has a girlfriend but you won't see any actual large-scale homophobic groups anymore. The only thing close is the Religious Right but even they've largely eased up and most that I know take an approach of leaving the judgement up to God. They may view it as wrong personally but they're not about to go about trying to repeal rights. Of course there are exceptions, in a nation so populous how could there not, but in general the Right eased up a LOT once people like Milo started popping up on their side. For the most part they feel that, if you can be proud of being gay, they should be able to be proud of being straight, but that's about it.

The real issue is the question of what is actually 'acceptable' now-a-days. Cause you got things like LGBT crosswalks where people can get arrested for leaving tire marks and people mostly trying to figure out what is and is not acceptable.

I'll be honest, I think this is gonna look more bad on the hackers than on PB; especially if the latter plays their cards right.

Realistically, the vast majority of the people getting hung up on BLM's name have no intention of caring about the message either way. Picking on the name is just a convenient excuse to avoid having to admit that.

Proud-boys are just 1A advocates, who counter-protest against "leftist, Marxist, PC, twitter outrage culture"....that's it, that's all.

The fact anyone believes they are a 'hate group' is hilariously stupid, because they don't care if you have coloured skin or you're a homosexual. ...as long as you adhere to the freedom the country provides.

To co-opting their hashtag, putting up a bunch of LGBTQ propaganda, and thinking you're triggering hate-mongers and walking away like a bunch of winners....?.....trust me, they are furthest from....
