Hateful people often feel the need to express their malice in public spaces, so as to resonate with other hateful people and recruit people into their cause. However, there are still some hateful people in this world. Even if the platform tolerates it, society at large has become more accepting of homosexuality and less accepting of homophobic bigotry, since at least 2015.Ĭonsequence: If you say something like, “I hate gay people” or “Death to all queers” online, it will either get deleted or lead to uncomfortable conversations with your employer and/or law enforcement. Observation: Homophobia is typically not tolerated on most platforms, due to it being classified as hate speech.

If it’s not immediately clear why this is the case, I’ll explain why this is true.

When someone says, “I hate furries,” that’s a dog-whistle for anti-queer bigotry.
