The LGBTQ+ community has gone way too far
I’ve always been in favor of gay (and lesbian) rights, and I still am. I think everyone deserves respect, and I think sexuality is irrelevant when judging someone’s character. However, I think there are certain aspects about the LGBTQ+ community that have gone too far.
Just to set the record straight:
- If you’re a man and love men, okay that's fine.
- If you're a woman and love women, okay that's fine.
- If you wanna do surgery to "change your sex" (though I wouldn't), that's fine (if you're an adult).
But why does the world need to be involved in that?
And why do teenagers (and even children) need to be involved in that?
I think all the attention seeking, all the noise, all those bullshit pronouns, and every other crazy thing that's currently being pushed by the LGBTQ+ community, has gone way too far.
And I know they will say they do it to “fight for their rights” (you know, the ones they already have in the West), but I don’t buy that. Honestly, I think they’re only sabotaging themselves by being so obnoxious… I think the average people has a more negative view on the LGBTQ+ community now than they did 10 years ago. And no wonder that’s the case…
I myself never thought of opposing “gay’s rights” throughout my whole life. Like I said before, I’ve always been on their side, and I still am on their side… On the gays, lesbians, and even the transsexuals side. But everything else? Totally insane.
I think a lot of gays and lesbians would even agree with me (I know many of them don’t like the LGBTQ+ community). I think it’s hurting them more than myself, and I think it will ultimately cause everyone to turn on them, which is very sad.
It seems to me that nowadays, being whichever letter in the huge LGBTQ+ initialism is a trend. And it’s really unfortunate to see something that gays and lesbians fought for over decades be reduced to this bullshit that will probably ultimately turn more and more people against them again. All because some idiots think it’s cool to be edgy and weird.
They have gone too far.
Also, remember in the beginning, when I said that sexuality is irrelevant when judging someone’s character? Nowadays, it’s not that irrelevant anymore. Because if you identify as a fucking horse, there’s no way I can go and think you’re normal. Even when it comes to “normal” (regular) gays, many people will now automatically associate them with those extremist ideologies.

Is it true that this subreddit has been banned before? If so, why?
I don’t know why, but I’m under the impression it has been banned once before. Why did that happen?
I’m guessing it was something to do with “hate speech” or whatever. Well, I’ve come across actual hateful subreddits and they’re up and running, so…

Real issues get dismissed as hate because people are biased
I constantly see men and women having critical opinions about the opposite gender. Some of those opinions I even agree with, but I can tell the reason behind them isn’t exactly pure.
I can just sense they’re speaking out of frustration, self-interest, resentment, bitterness, a desire for validation, or even just hate. That’s COMPLETELY wrong. Both genders do this, although men tend to get called out for it more often.
What I hate about this the most is that sometimes the cause they’re fighting for is actually valid, but it gets completely ruined by the intentions behind it. It makes people assume real issues are just hate… And, like I said, sometimes it really is just hate, but many other times it isn’t… Not everyone who raises that one issue is motivated by those same feelings. And I speak for myself here.
In my opinion, both genders face injustices, but men’s issues are MUCH less talked about (they’re often ignored). That’s why I have the personal opinion that men face more injustice than women (and the fact that many people refuse to accept men face injustice at all is proof of this). I also mostly see men being held accountable for their actions, but women (at least not nearly as much). And those are the main reasons I’m personally more vocal about men’s issues than women’s. Yes, I happen to be male, but most of the things I talk about have never even affected me, and some probably never will. Even so, I still feel compassion for those who do face those issues.
My point is that I don’t say things out of hate, self-interest or frustration… I say them based on justice, and what I believe is right or wrong. And I think that’s a very rare quality in today’s world: to genuinely care about others and about what’s right or wrong, regardless of whether it affects you or benefits you. I really care about justice beyond my own interests.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m Mr. Perfect or something… that’s not what I’m saying. We are all humans, so no one is perfect, and no one will ever be 100% fair or unbiased. But I really do try to be impartial, unbiased and fair (at least as much as a humanly possible)… And I feel like that’s not really the case when it comes to most people. Most only care about themselves, what affects them directly, and what benefits them (or not), and that’s what ruins so many conversations.
Also, just a small note: I focused on cases where the person making the argument is biased, but the opposite can happen too. A lot of times it’s the listener who is biased and unwilling to engage with valid arguments. It’s the same condemnable phenomenon, just from the other side…
I only wished people with be less biased, more thoughtful, more empathetic, truthful and honest…
Just a rant.
Do you agree with me? Do you also feel this way?

My opinion on a Feminist reading a post from an “Incel Forum”
I came across this Instagram video of a girl reading “Incel Forums” and it caught my attention.
Needless to say that the commenters (majority women) are heavily criticizing the poster. And don’t get me wrong, it is mostly fair… but I think there’s always a few things to consider before vilifying someone…
Why don’t the commenters bother to think about things on a deeper level? Why won’t they care about the circumstances that make some men behave like his? Why do they assume he’s a monster, instead of a misguided individual? Why won’t these people ever open their minds?
And, though I don’t agree with what he said, there’s truth in certain parts (though it’s mostly an emotional argument). My question is:
Why is he being so heavily criticized, but women who say something equivalent are not? Sure, there are more men like this than women, but that only shows the scale of the issue. It’s not just this guy, there’s a whole group of men that feel so ostracized and frustrated that they start thinking like this. Isn’t that worrying? Why keep on blaming them, instead of acknowledging what’s making them like that? Do we wanna fix or create more people like this?
Anyways… I also made a deeper analysis of what he said, in case you wanna read:
It’s not that women are “evil”… it’s just what it is, it’s human nature. We humans tend to judge everything as good/bad or right/wrong, but that’s just in our minds. We have that necessity, but the truth is biology doesn’t care about feelings (and many other things also don’t).
The guy was mostly in the wrong. He acted like women are monsters and men are perfect… when they’re not. Women are flawed and men are just as flawed… we’re all human beings in the end. The difference is he doesn’t have sexual interest in men, that’s why he doesn’t even consider the opposite point of view. That’s biased and dishonest. I also feel like he’s only saying this because he’s frustrated, and you can clearly see that (for example, in the “gentleman like myself” part). That also shows a bit of dishonesty in my opinion, since it’s not “pure” logical reasoning anymore. It instead turns into an emotional, biased reaction disguised as logical reasoning.
But he also got some things right. It’s true that most women generally “control” which men get to reproduce (though the process is not that straightforward). It’s also true that women in general are more emotional and “less rational” than men. And again, it’s true that women are flawed (just like men are), therefore, it’s also true that the partner they choose will be the less optimal many times.
It’s also true that most women tend to prefer attractive, sexual appealing, “bad” boys rather than “good” but unappealing, intelligent men (which can be considered a great flaw). This is why men like him become this way, they feel wronged and build resentment… But, while it’s true that women show this preference, on the other end, men do the exact same thing. Men tend to be attracted to good looking, sexual appealing, “hot” women, rather than intelligent or kindhearted ones. That’s why many men AND WOMEN feel wronged and undervalued (and they really are). It’s unfair, but no one is exactly “evil” here… it’s human nature. And you can also clearly see why these behaviors, from BOTH men and women, ultimately lead to human character decline (in the long run). So he’s also not wrong about that.
With this last point in particular, I’d say it’s fair that the guilt falls more on women than on men, since women are generally the ones with the “power” to choose their partner. I know it might be hard to understand what I mean by “women are generally the ones with the power to choose the partner” at first, but it’s made clear when you understand that throughout history most women reproduced, while only a fraction of men did. So generally speaking, yes, women generally are the ones who ultimately “choose” their partner (more often than men).
Needless to say he’s wrong on what he said at the end. Overall, his message contained some facts, but in a twisted way, simply because of his own frustrations and incapacity of analyzing things from a perspective other than his own. That’s basically it.
I think people like this guy are created by the circumstances they are put in, so I hope he’s able to see things from a different perspective one day. Just wanted to point all of this out for those who think he’s crazy… He’s not. People like him are actually probably intelligent (overthinking is associated with intelligence), they are just blinded in some sort of way. We do have a big problem in our society, and the fact that people like him exist is proof of that. But the truth is most of these people don’t choose to become this way, they are pushed to the edge until they do. We see this all the time... and all we ever do is blame them. I’ll tell you one thing: if we ever wanna fix this and other such issues, we must not blame people blindly. We NEED to start reflecting on what’s wrong with society that’s corrupting people. If all you ever do is blame people for their bad behavior instead of acknowledging and fixing what’s making them that way, you’ll never fix the issue… and more will follow the same path.
I figured this would be the right subreddit for this, since my view on this Feminist VS. “Incel” topic is more moderate and nuanced, rather than fully aligning with either side. I also think people judge these extreme opinion differently depending whether it’s a man or a woman saying it…
What do you think of all this?

Montreal's shooter - "Incel" Manifesto
Apparently, the Montreal's shooter left a 104-page Manifesto where he points out to the social injustice that the average man faces (among many other ideas). Here's a quick summary of it:
https://x.com/mtracey/status/2069393158190821518
I didn't read the whole Manifesto, only this tweet, but it's interesting to know what was going on in the mind of someone who did such a thing. People get pushed to the edge and do crazy stuff, it's tragic...
I don't support what he did in anyway. And honestly, this will probably hurt this movement...
Thought it was interesting to share with y'all. What are your thoughts on this?
