Yes, let’s fight prejudice by stereotyping a whole race, gender, and sexual orientation…
oh god this feels like Reddit all over again. they’re not hunting you! i promise
I very frequently find that very few people here grasp the concept of humor in any measurable way.
It’s concerning how much support these types of statements get.

MLK Jr., famous for talking about how much he loves white moderates right
MLK Jr, the guy that has that one quote about white moderates that gets paraded around constantly while 90% of his other words are completely ignored.
The men who are worried about being hunted for sport have been told too many times that that’s what should happen to them
I mean, if it did happen, would that be the worst thing?
I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
I knew Lemmy was a good place, and then the sealab memes came.
Now it’s better.

It’s funny because extending rights to marginalized people does not by any means diminish the rights of the privileged.
The point should be to bring everyone up, not pull others down, though
That’s impossible since the point was a superficial elevation of their own interests.
Unless you think the point of feminism (for example) is to make men second class citizens. That’s just not a thing. It’s a rhetoric created by assholes to get ignorant people on board with their continued grossness.
There aren’t a limited amount of rights that can only be handed out to be shared amongst people.
There are just rights and everyone should be entitled to them.
Yes! Let’s beat hate, by hating a different group…
Pointing out their whinging is hardly hate. Way to be a perfect example of the post, whether you’re a white dude or not.
“their” whining. Right, I’m the asshole for not liking language lumping a whole group of people into a bucket.
If you are ok with demonizing language like that, that’s on you. I want nothing to do with it.
You know, I really, really think you’re reading something into this that isn’t there. What, exactly, strikes you as hate here? What in this meme is “demonizing language”? It’s a joke pointing out that privileged people tend to panic and lash out when the people who have historically had fewer privileges than them start receiving help to level the playing field, as if life is some kind of zero-sum game and others being treated better suddenly means they’ll get treated worse. This is a well-recognized truth that applies broadly across privileged populations and has been remarked upon by many people through the years of building civil liberties for minorities of all stripes, and this meme is just poking a bit of fun at it. No one thinks that literally every single cishet white dude is panicking that they’ll be up against the wall if minorities ask to be treated better. I’m really confused at your apparently visceral reaction against this so-called “hate”.
If you are having trouble understanding simply replace cis white male, with any other group like gay black woman. Is it still funny and ok?
I don’t like to discriminate against races and sexes no matter where it’s coming from. And saying “it’s just a prank, bro” doesn’t make it ok.
There are plenty of ways to make a joke like this by actually targeting bigots.
My simple rule is: if it’s something you are born with it’s not ok to lump people together (race, sex, sexual orientation). If it’s something you chose, like political affiliation, etc then it’s all fair game.
They’re not being made fun of for being white cishet men. They’re being made fun of for being privileged and whinging about other people now receiving the rights to which they felt they alone were entitled. Being privileged is not something you are born with, it is something granted to you by an unjust society. Crying about others being granted rights as if it will affect them negatively is a choice they are making. This is not about them being cishet white dudes. It is about them choosing to resist progress because it might mean they don’t get treated like the super special kiddies our society has always treated them as.
That you are equating “haha these privileged people are overreacting to minorities no longer having boots on their necks” with “boo hoo, you’re saying all white cishet dudes are bad” tells me all I need to know. I won’t be able to change your mind, so have fun feeling persecuted 💜
Yes Stormy, we’re gonna hunt you for sport. You and the rest of the Pod 6 jerks.
Equal rights are a threat to hegemony. Losing hegemony is scary for the privileged, as it is status quo.
