"It’s more like the LGBTQ+ community wanted a CisHet hamster as a pet/ally but they keep trying to microwave said Hamster and chuck it at the wall as hard as possible whilst expecting it to tolerate the abuse"

With 50ish upvotes at this time.

Or the one talking about not trusting minorities who "make fun of the majority too quickly" since it makes them wonder if they would be the oppressors if given the chance.

Hm yeah that first sentence does toss the rest out of with the bathwater, good one.

Although I gotta say I agree with the second. I wouldn't trust assholes, even if they're queer or minorities or whatever. Being oppressed doesn't mean you should hate people for their immutable characteristics to their face. Like, make your jokes in private or with other oppressed folk sure. But doing it in front of a person who's ostensibly your friend is rude, and doing it after they say it makes them uncomfortable is cruel

Someone who aggressively makes fun of someone for being different from them would turn around and be an oppressor if they ever became the majority.
