TW: mentions of h0mophobes/tr@nsphobes/bullying, etc. semi rant // - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There's something I've been wanting to talk about, and I'm going to share it here. Please take this to heart, like genuinely please, don't ignore this... So, we can all agree h0mophobic comments can be very hurtful, and I am extremely frustrated by them. However. What WILL NOT HELP is lashing back out at the homophobe, the purpose of that is causing more hurt. I've seen projects that are like "Homophobic Spray! Send this to homophobes you know!" Don't fight fire with fire... Of course, if you find any h0mophobic comments, just don't interact at all. Just report it. And please, if you're reading this, just remember to never say anything hurtful or against lgbtq+ people, they can't help who they are! Keep this in mind- Love is love, and gender is gender. If someone's lesbian or smth, don't bully/yell at/etc. them because they can't help it! That's just common sense, isn't it??? BUT IF YOU find ANY h0mophobia/tr@nsphobia, again, don't bounce that hurt directed at you back at them, I PROMISE you that'll make it worse. Thank you so much for making it to the end of this, you get a cookie <3 - Starry
