    Usually people like that are one reality check away from unmasking and going full-on “it’s just unnatural, it’s not normal and it’s disgusting”.

    Arguing with conservatives is basically just peeling an onion full of concern baiting, sealioning, plausible deniability, and euphemisms; when you shatter their initial disenginuous line of reasoning (which may seem innocent or reasonable at first to the naked eye), they start digging into arguments that get more and more misdirected and irrational…

    When you exhaust their load of fake arguments/“reasoning” that they bend at will, the ones that only exist to defend their already pre-determined position, they start to show their true colors and get into their real irrational and hateful motives for propogating their beliefs.

    “Well I’m just concerned about LGBT people grooming children”… “I’m fine with the gays as long as they keep it to themselves, this cancel culture is just excessive”… “It’s allowing trans people [[trans women]] in bathrooms and sports that I worry about, think of the real women who are scared and have a biological disadvantage against men”… “Biden is encouraging 8 year olds to transition, this ‘transgender’ thing is just a trend, pride is a ploy for corporations to make more money and you’re just a tool for participating in it”… “Same-sex relations and transgenderism are a sin, I don’t think their freedoms should be restricted, but I disagree with them personally, also gays have a higher rate of abusive relationships”… “Straight people [[men]] are persecuted, there’s nothing made for normal people anymore and it’s all catered towards the gays, it’s dangerous to be straight now, I’m scared of telling someone I’m straight in case they blow up on me and call me homophobic like a blue-haired feminist”… “You shouldn’t be queer in public, what if children watch it and transform into gays themselves, it’s all inordinately fetishistic”… “Being queer is fucking unnatural and seeing men kissing in public is disgusting, your kind are child groomers and rapists, keep your hands off of children, you’re going to Hell, stop spreading your Wokeism ideology and ruining my video games and anime, also traps aren’t gay I’m straight for liking them and MHA and Konosuba and K-On and Dragon Maid are the best animes”

    is about how it goes – minus the anime part, unless you’re on an online anime community, lol (fascists love prepubescent anime girls a lot). They’re very supportive of queer representation as long as it’s exclusively in their pornography and kawaii anime, but only if you objectify and tokenize the queer characters and refuse to acknowledge their queerness, hmmm curious… what amount of Astolfo (Fate) and queer porn addicts do you think aren’t raving homophobes that call feminine male, non-binary, and androgynous anime characters & actors objectifying terms and slurs while simultaneously convincing themselves that what they’re doing is completely straight and that they’re not sinning to the lord? It’d be a faster count than those who are I bet.
