I'm not bi, but this made me curious.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol that's why ppl say 'love is love'

its not just a tagline, love is human and it's nice to see regardless of gender

[–] The_Hideous_Orgalorg@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"...nice to see..." Speak for yourself. Keep that stuff private, regardless of orientation.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Um, no. Do you not understand the point of pride? It means we will be ourselves despite irrelevant opinions from people like you.

You don't have any control over what gets posted to the internet just cause you don't like gay people.

[–] The_Hideous_Orgalorg@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you not read? I don't have a problem with gay people, just public displays of affection.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I did read your post and actually figured you might say that. But that's not the real reason you're saying this, because this isn't PDA, this is just a gay post online and you're using the PDA argument as an excuse to spread negativity. It's transparent and sad.

Give in to the urge to cuddle everything. Give in to the bi-side.

[–] DulyNoted@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah... Those damn gays, and then they kiss deeply a few more minutes before settling down in a shady grove beneath an oak tree.. they let the dog wander off as they reacquaint themselves with each other's body...

Good satire works on multiple levels.

[–] RubberBandMan@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I don’t get the joke, but I appreciate the effort making a post on Lemmy instead of Reddit.

I would prefer this group not become political focused, ruins so many subs. Anything LGBT+ is fine, not what I’m referring to. But the right and left and antifa stuff I could strongly do without

[–] luna@kbin.social 80 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It always was political, avoiding politics is a position of privilege

[–] TheBurlapBandit@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Cool then I'm privileged, keep it out.

[–] BiNonBi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 66 points 2 years ago

I would recommend blocking either this entire community or just me. I have no intention of censoring myself for you.

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

If this makes you upset I would reevaluate your position.

[–] LiesSlander@beehaw.org 36 points 2 years ago

"Apolitical" is a political position.

If you claim to support trans rights, and with them the broader struggle for gender self determination, then you ought to support the people putting their bodies on the line to defend it. Specifically the antifacists and anarchists (many of them queer themselves) who fight facism on the streets. Supporting a group targetted for genocide requires supporting the kinds of tactics that can fight the facists working to exterminate that group.

But… You are in 196

[–] user23@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 years ago

196 here is a clone of the former r/196, which was a strange mix of liberal and leftist

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this post isn't even political

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy's algorithm isn't taylored in any way. This is just a super active community with a lot of posts that get a lot of upvotes. If you're browsing all without a block list, yeah, you're gonna see it a lot. If you don't want to see it you can just browse your subscribed feed, or local, or block it, and never think about it again

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This sub is 50/50 unfunny political memes or funny shitposts, no in-between. I haven't subscribed to it but Lemmy thinks I want to see it so here I am.

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Then block it and stop complaining

196 has consistently been a left wing forum
