It’s kind of embarrassing, because it seems my IQ has dropped 20 points, but I found myself watching 90 Day Fiancé like a crack addict. Then I joined the r/90dayfiance sub, and saw a really disturbing pattern. About 1x per week, there’s a post comparing unattractive men to lesbians. I went partially through the history of the sub and found 8 instances of this until I got bored. I had commented on a few of the posts saying it was insulting and homophobic. Got downvoted all to hell by people telling me to get a sense of humor. Last week, after seeing another post, I messaged the mods and told them how I felt, very calmly telling them that if this were any other group that experienced bigotry, it wouldn’t be allowed. Again, they said, but it’s FUNNY! So I replied saying, what if I said so and so’s character looked like a trans man. They replied, oh I see what you are, a TERF! I said, no, I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy. I was them immediately permanently banned.

Pointing out hypocrisy seems like it might be a reliable method. <Makes a note.>
