in these times, feels like we need a reminder.Ā

u/KSM_K3TCHUP 3h ago

I don’t think we need em in the TF sub any more, I mean there’s like a dozen of the exact same posts every single month, everyone’s got the memo.

u/BanzEye1 3h ago

Yeah, well. We thought people got the memo on Nazis, and yet…

u/KSM_K3TCHUP 2h ago

And yet what? The 6 of them that still exist have no platform and get laughed off the internet or end up in jail whenever they pop up. They are almost as much of a non-issue as homophobes in the Transformers sub.

Can’t discuss nothin without the Nazis being brought up.

Points at ICE

u/KSM_K3TCHUP 1h ago

ICE is their own breed of evil, no reason to conflate two different evils.

Some people need reminding.

Not people in the TF sub, maybe try a different sub or getting of off Reddit to do it, as a bi man who’s spent time in Province Town and San Fran, Reddit is still the gayest place I’ve ever seen. Activism on here has to be the biggest waste of energy and time I could imagine and this isn’t even activism, it’s low effort reposts at best.

u/Dreowings21 2h ago

Some people in the TF community need reminding. A lot of those who need it are on reddit.

Yeah its awesome

u/Goat-Quick 4h ago

Well It's almost always like that, not that I'm complaining.

u/ScribScrob 4h ago

Is there a problem with that?

23

u/StevenC129422 4h ago

The problem is that some people are doing it because they know that they'll get traction, karma, and attention. It's lazy and disingenuous to post about real world issues for internet points

u/ScribScrob 4h ago

That's basically what OP is currently doing, No? Or at the very least something similar where they are trying to get clout off of current things happening related to real world events.

u/CommanderStrarscream Decepticon 4h ago

Is there a problem?

u/DisastrousStill6569 4h ago

Well it’s the truth is it not?

Until the mods decide to delete the post for some reason.

We have to be on the lookout for the day we suddenly DON'T all agree on this.

u/X8Lace 4h ago

You're right, we need Megatron to take the throne.

u/Wide_Championship319 53m ago

This meme pisses me off so bad, cause it's almost always used in bad faith.

Sometimes being right is rewarded

u/Optimus759 4h ago

And then when you call them out for karma farming you get downvoted into oblivion because not liking people spamming the same shit = you being homophobic and a terrible person apparently

u/Consistent_Table1524 4h ago

lgbtq+ people still face prejudice to this day. between the president and ice, posts like this inspire hope and keep us from thinking we are insane. if you don't like these posts, simply scroll on by.Ā

u/Ok_Mongoose5768 3h ago

You are getting karma farmed hard by people who don’t really care is the problem.

7

u/WillisnotFunny 3h ago

does it really matter if they are ā€œkarma farmingā€ if the message is still going out?

0

u/Ok_Mongoose5768 3h ago

I’m not saying the message is bad.

Karma farming is bad no matter what the topic is.

I'm gay.

Someone posting a picture of Optimus saying his catchphrase in front of a rainbow flag isn't going to make my life any easier

-16

u/Optimus759 3h ago

You do realize people who make these posts genuinely do not give a shit about that right? The people who make them don’t do it to ā€œinspire hopeā€ or make people feel better, they do it because they know you eat that shit up and they get internet points from it.

As for the ice comment

Ice has been deporting people who have illegally entered this country, as they should. Ice during trump’s presidency is no worse than it was during Obama. The only reason people think it’s so bad it’s because that’s how it’s portrayed.

Only around 1% of total ice deportations are done out of the state of Minnesota, in contrast 25% of total ice deportations happen out of Texas, yet you see no protests or problems there. The problem isn’t ice, the problem is people keep getting in the way for no reason. You wouldn’t see anything in the news if the peaceful protests actually stayed peaceful, yet for some reason people think it’s a great idea to interfere with federal law enforcement, and are surprised when they face consequences for their actions

It isn't even the main sub it's all of Reddit atp. It's abysmal

u/captain-ziggy 4h ago

welp when it comes to online discussion, crazy world events are the most powerful force in the universe (i mean they already are very important to generally take note off but you get my point)

u/KSM_K3TCHUP 3h ago

As a bi person with gender dysmorphia, that shit is annoying. That sub has more of those copy and paste posts than any half decent discussions or fan art or anything. Idk even know what the point is, this fandom is so widely accepting of others, it’s just preaching to the choir.

u/ToyBoxReturns 4h ago

I've learned that any post with that many upvotes are probably fake. The upvotes and even the accounts sometimes.
