I see this a lot. The point of this thread will be to detail why this argument doesn& #39;t use sound logic and explain why these two statements are different. As someone who used to be an anti sjw but was intellectually honest, seeing a thread like this would have helped me so much. https://twitter.com/bambooney/status/1253634211724103682">https://twitter.com/bambooney...

The first thing we need to address is why making a joke like "homosexuality has gone too far" would be a problem. The issue is that even if you might not mean it or have homophobic intent, the joke could potentially further someone else that sees it and therefore further

homophobia, which is a bad thing. The reason this wouldn& #39;t apply in the context of "heterosexuality has gone too far" is that heterophobia is not a widespread systemic issue in the way homophobia is. Are there actual heterophobic people in the world? Possibly, and those people

are disgusting human beings. But the amount of people like this in the world are so miniscule that they make little to no impact on the average persons life. Heterosexual marriage isn& #39;t threatened anywhere in the world. The chance of you ever getting discriminated for in the

workplace for dating the opposite sex is almost zero. You aren& #39;t barred from adopting a child on the basis of the sex you date. And you aren& #39;t going to possibly be denied a job based on your sexual orientation alone. All of these are widespread issues that affect gay people on

a global scale even in the most developed of countries. So while making fun of heterosexuality might be mean spirited, the joke does not reinforce any genuinely bigoted belief that targets a group of people on a world-wide scale. Hope this helped out some people in understanding.
