Note: I’m not casting all Republicans as a “skin of evil” here; I feel many of them are just people trying to make their way in the world whose daily struggles and fears have been amplified manipulated by the “skin of evil”, an administration that constantly denies human rights and demonizes (as well as convinces its followers to partake in the demonization of) people who, for the most part, are also just trying to make their way in the world. I’ve known Republicans, and while the people they give their support to frighten me, most of the ones I’ve know aren’t demons.

    Are we seriously warning people that they might have to see discussion of queer people’s right to exist now? Must be nice to be so privileged that this meme upsets you

      To be fair, my intent was less because of that and more because at times, some people just want to go to c/TenForward for a bit of escapism, and dark memes may not fit that.

      Though you do bring up a good point about a major side effect, and I worry a bit that I’ve succumbed to self-censorship.
