Today, i couldnt upvote a post from anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus so i decided to check it out on my pc. i noticed that i was banned from the com even though i havent posted anything on the com nor the instance. i guess the reason for the ban is that i posted a meme to different comm a while ago. The meme is homophobic but i didnt know it when i was posting it. After finding out it was homophonic, i added a disclaimer to my post.

i dont think i deserved the ban, and i want to hear your thoughts.

        What harm? The only person who is going to find it distasteful are the people who are homophobic. To anyone else it doesn’t matter because being gay isn’t something to get upset about. Moreover, we’re never going to be able to change their minds on being homophobic. As a gay dude myself, I also don’t find this remotely homophobic because being gay isn’t the butt of the joke. Them being so pathetically and desperately afraid of anyone who is gay is the joke. I don’t find much difference between this and me having personally claimed that Trump is actually gay privately due to how much he hates gay people.
