people on this sub usually shit their rainbow/Labrys patterned adult diapers when you say the word "abnormal" because they somehow get it conflated with "immoral."

From what I've seen of the almost always argumentative conversations you have on here, people tend to attack you more because you often conflate your personal traumatic experiences with homosexuality itself, rather than the corrosive social climate that surrounds it. It's always a very defeatist and negative tone from you, with all the tact of a brick through a window.

The ideal mean of reddit's overly sanitized policed speech and something like /pol/'s complete lack of any filter whatsoever is the kind of empathy and decency one would hope to see in day to day interactions. I.E not consistently phrasing your arguments in a way that shadows a religious fundamentalist calling us all freaks.

You're not the only one here who has been abused on account of your sexuality. If you want people to be more respectful in their responses to you, I'd consider being more respectful in the way you frame your talking points. Otherwise, you're probably just going to get kneejerk reactions from people who hear the voices of people who have attacked them in the past in your words.

A little less generalizing would probably help, too. That's a bad habit of yours, and it's personally turned me off of wanting to engage in conversation with you several times because it's often too big a roadblock to bother overcoming in a conversation with someone online.

It's all up to you, though; you can always continue as you have, no one is stopping you. But you're probably not going to convince anyone when you always come off as contrarian and provocative - a successful discourse requires more than the courage to bring up polarizing topics.

Got nothing on the biphobia though, that puzzles me just as much and seems to be another kneejerk reaction.
