I assumed it was a troll, Dom was the one who said it was something bigger than that. I get why people would want to troll the left I just dont get why normal ass people would waste their time on all this outrage stuff.It's a troll chaos . You had it right.
It's nothing more than that. It's not actually intended to do anything other than show hypocrisy. Someone will attend these parades if they want to go full-troll.
It's all in the superhappyfunamerica post. "By including straight people, we are even more inclusive!"
I honestly think you're reading too deeply into it. Maybe some of its supporters are as well, but it is my understanding that it is nothing more than a giant political troll. Like the Draw Muhammad events, only slightly less deadly.
Repudiating homosexuality and letting fags know they aren't welcome is building your community and improving the world. I mean, unless you're a fan or something.You could be devoting time to your community to actually improve the world
No, I see issues. I don't see what you see, though. Entire groups of people being victimized and unable to speak? You start off saying "this is a small problem in its infancy, important to nip it in the bud" which actually isn't a bad argument. Then proceed directly to detail widespread, institutional oppression against, apparently, 95% of the population. "Standing up and forcing acceptance" ... of being straight...
Regardless of what I see, doesn't really matter. If your plan to combat identity politics is to engage in identity politics, you already lost whatever battle it is you think you're having.

The Milo thing isn't the only straight pride movement, so calling it all a troll based on him alone is nonsense.
Of course there are alternatives to becoming what you fight against. If the only way yo fight assholes was to become a fucking asshole then the world would just be nothing but assholes. You cant claim virtue by engaging in the same behavior you oppose.It isn't about gaining acceptance of being straight, it's about forcing people to accept that it's acceptable to be vocally proud of being straight, which is something that simply is not acceptable for straight people to do now without being attacked for being fragile homophobes, or mocked such as you're doing.
You speak as though there is an option other than to join the ID politics fight. The word for people that refuse to participate in a war that is being waged around them is victim.

This is a nice sentiment and all, but we live in the real world, and the world IS filled with assholes.
Theres literally a song called "Proud to be an american" that my rdc in boot camp used to play on repeat and make us stand at attention and salute the flag during, for hours on end. You are absolutely allowed and encouraged to say that. If you'd said "white pride" you'd have a point but theres a very good reason that one is frowned on.You're missing it.
Dom would only be doing that by stating that Gay Pride should 'not be allowed to be a thing'.
This is what the Lefties are saying about Straight Pride. Why? Because the Straights don't have enough points accrued in the Lefty Oppression Olympics rubric.
It's like how, in most places, a person is allowed to say "I am proud of my African Identity" and most people clap like seals. But if someone said, "I am proud of my German or American Identity?" You get the Brando types, "Racist! Nazi! White Supremacist!"
This. You're improving your community.Repudiating homosexuality and letting fags know they aren't welcome is building your community and improving the world. I mean, unless you're a fan or something.
Have you not been paying any kind of attention to how the world is now? The world IS absolutely nothing but assholes. It's your responsibility to pick which flavor of asshole you enjoy. Or never pick a side, pretend you're above it all, and then finally get mad when one flavor of asshole destroys something you hold dear because you chose to stay on the sidelines when it counted.If the only way yo fight assholes was to become a fucking asshole then the world would just be nothing but assholes.
