Ridiculing people for things they have no say in like race is fucking retarded. You can't ridicule a person into not being black or Jewish (the ethnicity, not the religion), or whatever it is you don't like.

People should be ridiculed for their beliefs and ideology. The trans community should be ridiculed for trying to force their retarded beliefs about gender on me, as should the Christians or Zionists or anyone else trying to do something similar. Mocking things people choose to believe in when they try to make others follow them is perfectly fine, what you are saying is not. Beliefs can be changed, and are therefore subject to criticism, criticizing someone for the way they are is an exercise in stupidity and futility

I disagree. People have to learn to take some light insults in good humour or they will go through life as a terrified perma-victim not being socially competent.

Being about to take insults about things like your appearance or background without it upsetting you does wonders for your self esteem and confidence.

You think you are being kind here but you aren't. This mindset hurts people long term.
