I've only known I was gay for a few years, but I really appreciate how all the friends I've spoken to about it have either been very supportive or haven't even cared at all.

However, comments like this from a YouTube rando deserve an unequivocal response:

- Yes, I support pride.
- Yes, I consider myself woke.
- Pride includes everyone; there's no LGB without the T.

I've never sworn on Twitter in the 14 years I've been there, but as this is Mastodon: this person can fuck right off.

@mmalc @militant_dilettante

Jesus was so woke that he never uttered even an unkind word against the Roman rulers of his times. Absolutely cruel tyrants who enslaved people, and crucified those they deemed criminal. He had plenty of opportunities too.

Not. One. Word.

Happy that @twostraws has done more, and spoken up.

@[email protected] was recorded by the gospels, and one of his best friends was killed by the Romans. He seemed to be pretty well focused on teaching those things that needed to be taught so that people understood why he also had to die for the fulfillment of the promise. Not that they understood it until afterwards....
Show threadAnders HovmöllerJun 21, 2023

@staidwinnow @mmalc @militant_dilettante @twostraws weird definition of wokeness. He was probably trying not to get murdered, and failed, and at the same time woke people scream and accuse people like crazy for so minor infractions only they themselves can see them.

There is woke good, but there is also woke bad. Just like Christian good and Christian bad. Or anything really.

That said, fuck that dude in the comment 🤣

@twostraws As always, the right creates a boogieman by coopting a word or phrase and making it the catchall for every culture war battle they want to fight. WOKE and PRIDE are as meaningless to them as GARGLEBLASTER and TRIFICULT.

@twostraws That is the correct response!

Anyone of any importance will be supportive or indifferent. Getting comments like that just means that your video resonated with so many people that it also brought in a couple of dipshits.

Show threadBecJun 20, 2023
@twostraws what baffles me is the way that person has abstracted “WOKE” and “PRIDE” as if they’re each some singular entity or object. I don’t have a clear way to express in words what exactly the person is doing to unnerve me so much, but it’s along the same line taken to dehumanize a group of people by labeling them as a singular thing. (Is there an equivalent for doing that to language?) It also stinks of a disturbing lack of comprehension, understanding, or even willingness to learn.
