I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    How’s the view from atop that high horse your riding? Save your preaching for someone who will fall for it. I said I dislike them, I said nothing about tolerating them. I will tolerate anyone, I just don’t have to accept them. Stop putting words in my mouth to suit your clearly skewed narrative, just like you did in the last comment. Comparing me to a shooter, yikes.

      You identified yourself as a bigot. You are intentionally and dishonestly ignoring the point of the shooter comparison. You introduce the negative behavior into society and are upset that as a direct response to that negative behavior people respond back with it directed at you. Don’t be a callous bigot and people will not be intolerant to you callous bigotry. Not being a bigot is not some high horse stance, its being a decent human.

              And according to civilized society. Feel free to make a coherent argument as to why you get to be a callous bigot and everyone has to not respond in kind to you for you being a bigot.

                I don’t recall ever saying people couldn’t get angry about it, it doesn’t bother me. What bothered me, was equating disliking trans to being a bigot or not caring about them, as being callous. Thats bullshit tactic only works on kids. That’s the part that seems to have confused you.

                It’s also ironic, given that the original sub post would rather see old people just die if they can’t cope with current events. That sounds pretty intolerant to me, yet, I don’t see you blowing up his comment?

                Did you just think I would be an easy target? Sorry to disappoint you. 😅

                  Oh I’m not disappointed, you are a pretty easy target. Taking a cheap shot about trans suicides and being indifferent about them and their suffering is callous. Look up the definition of callous. " As far as callous and bigoted, yup, sure am." You owned up to being a bigot. Acting like a bigot and admitting to it and then trying to pretend you are not is a bullshit tactic.

                    I said I was a bigot, I never said why. You ran with that because it fit your narrative.

                    Keep on with the good fight, social justice warrior, I’m sure someone will come along and pat you on the back for being an exception human being and for showing me the error of my ways.

                    If you believe that, I got some ocean front property in Florida to sell you. 🤣
