        i hate this comment so much

        a) it’s so much more work to refute it than you going “NUH UHHH”

        b) you can literally see it in this thread

        c) wtf I LOVE BEING CALLED SILLY ACTUALLY??

        anyways i see it mentioned a lot by lurking in the women’s stuff comm. and tbh i see enough of it myself just in my nornal feed to agree

        The post asserts that the women pictured are so unattractive that it has turned their republican husband’s gay.

        The implication being that women are to be valued primarily by their physical appearance and a man is to be judged by the appearance of his wife.

        Lemmy lets this slide because they are republicans and therefore acceptable targets, but they are bad people not because they are unattractive or they married someone unattractive/low-status, or because they use Grindr, they are bad people because they voted for an administration which has done enormous harm to minorities, LGBTQ folks and anyone who drowned indirectly on USAID.

        That’s not even getting into the problems with the conversation therapy-esque idea of being able to intentionally change an adults sexuality

          and here I thought it was because they were insufferable and you’re telling me it’s because they’re ugly? sounds misogynistic to me.
