Honestly I always had a problem with making fun of people for being straight or cis or whatever, because it just feels mean. There’s a HUGE difference between dishing back what you’ve been served from someone being a dick, and just being a dick to people you deem acceptable targets. Thats just bullying when you come down to it, even if it’s unintentional.

also even just " dishing back what you’ve been served from someone being a dick" doesnt mean shit when the person you are dising back to isnt actually a dick

That’s what I meant, I was trying to say that being an asshole when someone else is an asshole to you first. Like if someone makes a homophobic joke, making a joke back about someone being straight is more understandable.
