Is anyone else weirded out by "are the ___ ok" subreddits, period? I used to think r/arethestraightsok was kind of funny back when it was more about posts where, for example, straight men were claiming "thank god I'm straight or else my staring at dicks would make people think I'm gay, ha ha" but then it just turned into bashing straight people in abusive relationships with domestic violence, which is... not limited to straight couples.....

edit: clarity

Also it's really weird to crap on people in abusive relationships...

Right?? Like some of the posts on there are straight-up people with bruises on their faces and the comments are like "Haha, glad I'm not straight!" like wtf... have some humanity!

It takes a special kind of person to see a victim of domestic violence come forward and then use this crime to justify disdain for the group the victim belongs to. The lack of empathy is disgusting.

Yeah, I noticed that too...

I was on that sub at the start but once the gendies got wind of it it started to become a shitshow. Who would have known.

Ahhh, gotcha. That's a shame. Wish we had some sort of way of visualizing the change over time in sub content, as function of transgender ideology popularity. I'm sure there are a bunch of other subs that similarly changed with takeover.

I love how they have a tag for gender stereotypes. I could pull out multiple screenshots of TRAs perpetuating gender stereotypes, but that’s not allowed apparently.

They claim to hate gender stereotypes, yet they are the biggest perpetuators of them because they need gender stereotypes in order to claim that they actually exist.

Their whole existence is nothing but stereotypes.

It'd be hilarious if you posted them anyway and pretended that it is cis people saying these things. After your posts get popular enough you reveal who actually said those things.

Ah but they're allowed to take away someone's trans status if they don't like them so they can claim real trans people aren't doing those things

[–]Dravidian 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Same with /menwriting women or /badwomananatomy... All gone to shit

[–]oofreesouloo⚡super lesbian⚡ 18 insightful - 1 fun18 insightful - 0 fun19 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

So, they're allowed to separate themselves from cis people but we, gay people who have nothing related to being trans, cannot? Gotcha.

Nope. We have to be their caretakers, their bodyguards and their indentured servants. All because one crossdresser in New York City threw a brick at a police officer during a riot that took place seven years after Illinois decriminalised homosexuality.

Half of that stuff is more fitting for AreTheStraightsOk and the rest is just nonsense

Ok so it's gendercynical with poor attempts at humour. Wait that's already gendercynical🤣

Every time I see “cis” I sub it with “the general public” in my head. It’s exactly what they’re complaining about and really drives home how silly it is.

I don’t know about "cis", whatever that means. But if the idiots on that sub were referring to 99.7% of the global population, then yeah, I’d say we're okay most of the time. Especially on comparison, when you consider a very uncomfortable statistic. Of course, if I were to say that on that subreddit, I’d get banned.

I love how the comic in this one gives a GC definition of gender and none of them realise (even the author of the comic.) Says its just cultural stereotypes - don't they normally think its some kind of internal brain sex?

Every one of these reddit subs dealing with TQ+ play out like wish fulfillment. Like people take something that happened that they overreacted to and made into some huge deal, then they imagine the most BALLER way they could've addressed it and came out looking super smart and suave, President waiting to give them a medal, the whole works....and then the other rejects parade around them clapping and barking like seals as they feed of of each other's pathetic delusions of grandeur.

It's like living vicariously through other people's lies.
