Ah yes, the nebulous “people” anyone can pull out of their ass to make it seem there’s vast agreement with their own position.
Pride, and messages like this, exist to celebrate that “the gays” in some places are no longer lynched or treated as deviants and lessers, to celebrate the progress made from how in living memory it was perfectly socially acceptable to firebomb business and homes suspected of having gay people in them, to how now the hate is mostly limited to snowflakes online.
It also serves to raise awareness for the places where being gay is still illegal (at best) “Why not protest there”, you ask? Well because doing so tends to land you in prison (see Russia) or just murdered (see most of Africa). Do you think people in “the west” shouldn’t protest and raise awareness about horrible things happening elsewhere? Stay quiet, “we got ours, let them figure it out on their own”?

It boggles the mind that there are so many “complaints” about pride flags or messages like this, but practically none at all about characters waving the US flag, celebrating the 4th of July, rebelling (illegal!) against the British, or memes about the Boston Tea Party (destruction or property, impersonation, breaking and entering, and various other crimes).
In any case this thread has gone on nowhere for long enough.

i know, crazy right?
Yes, it’s absurd. It took a while, but people are having enough of this. Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and I imagine even trans who only want to live normal lives turned their back on the movement, now they are publicly denouncing it.

in some part of the world it’s still a crime, and even if in some places it’s not a crime anymore, people get f*cking beaten to death (like it’s still some sort of crime)
And yet, some act if that’s still the case in the US or Europe

okaaaaay
It is clear that this could have made sense when “being gay” was a crime, but now it is no longer a crime and is not at all associated with “being gay” in most of the world.
Precisely, that’s why I seriously question that comment

If they are so bigoted and thick they can’t follow simple rules or be nice to others we absolutely do try being nice first. But if after years and years of trying to be nice doesn’t work, then sometimes we have to be more direct and call a duck a duck. Sometimes that does work. Not always, but it’s worth trying before banning someone from the site for life - don’t you think?
PROTIP: No one really cares what your opinion is. But if you are so massively bigoted and thick headed about onions that you constantly seek out and then stand in the onions section at the grocery store screaming that the store sells onions, you are going to be asked to shut up, or leave. That’s not about that person’s opinion of onions - it’s about that person’s lack of self control.
I’m sure you agree this would all be so much easier if people would simply add the appropriate tags to their filters instead of complaining when they are triggered by a fanart.

Apparently, for some people who are particularly thick or bigoted, I and others like me do need to be condescending, because being nice sure hasn’t worked has it? And, after all, isn’t that the whole point of this image?
If people would simply tolerate others then maybe none of this would be necessary. Until then, this whole month absolutely seems necessary.

Gosh. You’re right! If only there was something, like, maybe a whole month set aside to help spread awareness. What would you call that month? Maybe, I don’t know, how about maybe “Pride Month”, a whole month set aside to honor the movement for LGBT rights and one that celebrates LGBT culture? Do you think that might help spread awareness? Maybe?
@AlexDTI
I think you nailed it. This image would be perfectly at home on the side of a VW Microbus in 1969.

I though the phrase “Be gay, do crime” was more known. Isn’t it a very famous one in prides?
Also, I just added the “be cool” part because that’s 100% Rainbow Dash, and also because I thought it was cool :p

No one is being ‘censored’ for ‘answering something they don’t agree with’. They are being ‘censored’ for breaking our site’s rules, including in some cases Rule #0.

nevertheless an artist can have their opinion, it is everyone’s right. an artwork like this saying something that maybe some people wont be please for that will get some comments, and it wont be fair if people get censored for answering something they dont agreed with. i dont mean the useless hate coments, but some others made a point commenting and they got deleted or even banned

I seriously question the “do crimes” part
In many places today it is a crime to be LGBTQ, not to mention how it has become such an enormous dogwhistle for the alt-right in the USA (especially states passing anti-LGBTQ legislation). So just existing is, in and of itself, “doing crime”. The statement is also an acknowledgement that crime and incivility may be necessary to earn equal rights given the criminalization of non-CIS people around the world. If you want to know more, please look up “Queer Anarchism”.
PS: My apologies to the artist for the comments on their image being derailed by what appears to be a lot of people hearing for the very first time that not all LGBTQ will lay down and die.
