I prefer Homophobia Classic, wish they would bring back the old recipe.

"New! Improved! Woke HomophobiaTM ! Now with the power of WHINING!"

At least Classic didn't include THAT. Or (god forbid) demanding to fuck us. Or (for that extra horror-movie touch)... REPLACE us.

At least we can actively push and fight against the first one, but woque homophobia? Jeez everyone drank the kool-aid way too quick

Donald Trump really was the worst thing to happen to progressivism. Sure, this shit was being pushed before him, but 2016 really ramped up the "drink any cool-aid that calls itself progressive because if not you're WITH TRUMP!" Thus every "progressive" in the Anglosphere was suddenly completely onboard with every drop of TRA rhetoric because it's "progressive" and "fighting Trumpism".

US politics was already fucked beyond repair, but the Trump derangement syndrome causing the radicalization of run-of-the-mill progressives to "leftist" radlibs was really the nail in the coffin.

Really interesting observation. You're right, and the rate at which it has happened has been so quick it would make sense that this really took off around 2016. No one expected the trans inquisition lmao

Tbh, I prefer the conservative homophobes because they actually understand and acknowledge what homosexuality and bisexuality are. Liberal homophobes take their bigotry and add gaslighting, character assassination, and complete detachment from reality. It makes any real discussion impossible. You can at least talk to the conservatives.

But please do keep in mind that more than one thing at a time can be bad, and the conservatives are still homophobic too and would still get rid of us if they could.

They're just a bit quieter these days, because they don't have to do anything, because "The LGBTQIA+" is tearing itself apart and all they have to do is sit back and enjoy the show.

They're still there and still bad, but at the very least they're a known enemy. The LGB community has been fighting them from the beginning. But TRA bullshit? How do you even tell your allies from your "allies" any more? As you say, doing the con's work for them.

In the words of Steve Irwin, "Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first."

Except in our case, it's with conservatives as crocs and TRAs being the people.

With Woke Homophobia, the calls are coming from inside the house... :(

I appreciate this comment. I know a lot of people here have moved on from having to deal with conservative homophobia so much, but currently I am trying to wrap my head around the damage done to me from conservative homophobia, AND deal with "progressive" homophobia in the present day. It's a lot.

The conservative homophobes (at least in the US) are much less of a pain to deal with now. We kinda know the book on them and how to deal with their usual tactics. It's the left-wing woke lunatics that we haven't quite solved yet.

It would be funny if it wasn't way too fucking true

Nice seeing some of violetdioxazine's comics here she did some good stuff on this subject. Woke homophobia I am more unsettled by in some ways, just as homophobia becomes less accepted they shame us again.

Sad hearing about gay people escaping homophobic environments and in some instances, conversion therapy but then faced with these people.

I'd rather have old-school homophobia. Better to have homophobes picketing outside our spaces than demanding that we roll out the rainbow carpet and welcome them with open arms (and open legs).

The first one is just so much easier to laugh at

Omg is violetdioxazine making comics again or are these just old ones saved from the purge? :(
