I just skimmed the comments. One of them linked back to this post and suggested we're brigading.

There are currently 9 people marked "online" on s/LGBDropTheT, and there are currently 2,600 people marked "online" on r/askgaybros. Pretty terrifying brigade if you ask me, lol.

"People dicussing posts on a publicly available forum" counts as brigading now? Yikes. And remember that these fragile, unstable, mentally ill people who saddle the rest of us with their exhaustingly inane and homophobic bullshit are the ones society are supposed to look up to as stunning and brave role models.

It's fucking ridiculous.

"Brigading is any time people disagree with me and there's more of them than me" is the mentality. It's a "gotcha" word to sling to discredit opposing views. Ironically for the sort of people who "hate gatekeeping" they sure like to gatekeep other communities for them ("It must be brigaders no way the majority of people here disagree with me").

"It can't possibly be me that's wrong. It must be the LGB who are wrong!"

It's really interesting how heterosexuals with personal identity issues are now the self-declared face of LGB. They've truly been successful parasitizing our movement.
