Saying that feminism might be corrupted by grifters who do not actually seek equality between the genders would be controversial, but acceptable.
Saying that homosexual pride was important at the start, but now in most places gay people have the identical rights to straight people, and therefore gay pride is no more meaningful than straight pride would be controversial, but acceptable.
Missing either context by saying you're against feminism ("So you do NOT support equality between genders?") or that straight pride is the same as gay pride ("You do understand that 'pride' in this context is a rebellion against 'SHAME'. People are saying they refuse to be ASHAMED of being gay. Noone has ever told a straight person they should be ashamed of being straight") is not acceptable.
It is bigotry. There are left-wing bigots and right-wing bigots. And there are right wingers who are not bigots.
But there are definitely correlations and trends between bigotry and political beliefs...
You're arguing with the wrong person - you should reply to OP.
I completely agree with you. Notch is indefensible.
My argument was that there MIGHT be an acceptable way to have a conversation about what grifters are doing to feminism (without abandoning the whole concept)
Or there MIGHT be an acceptable way to have a conversation about whether gay pride should evolve as society evolves.
But not by saying you're against feminism, or by saying you're against gay pride without qualifications.
