The thing I really hate is how this shorthand dismissal of people’s opinions based on their gender identity or sexuality has become normalized on social media. Yes, the joke is funny, but it’s saddening that this has become acceptable behavior as it encourages discrimination in the real world too. It also makes me wonder how we can continue to function as a society without deprogramming individuals that have gotten radicalized by online hate.
