    How to Be a Bigot Online

    For all of my detractors' talk of "snowflakery" and a desire to end "PC culture", on practically every thread to which I contribute, I am sooner or later accused of bigotry of some form or other. Sometimes the grounds of these charges are downright funny in their pettiness, ridiculousness, and hypersensitivity. From PF, and the internet more generally, I have learned there are many paths to being branded a hater. Here are some of the groups I have often been accused of hating collectively in the course of my experience online and some of the sillier grounds behind the same.

    White People

    This one is my favorite because it's the most ridiculous. I am white. Nonetheless, I have learned through my experience online so far that one apparently hates white people if, among other things...

    ...you enjoy the latest Wolfenstein video game. Like every other entry, you shoot up German Nazis, who totally weren't that bad.
    ...you're against separating children from their parents at the border and holding them in internment camps in the desert.
    ...you voice agreement on anything (even if not related to the topic of race) with a forum member who happens to be black. It means you're rejecting sex with white people.

    Jewish People

    Did you know that it is anti-Semitic to oppose the settlements policy of the Israeli state in Palestine? Or to oppose a totally "defensive" military invasion of Gaza that mostly kills unarmed women and children? Apparently those sorts of political positions are comparable to denying the Holocaust.

    Christians

    Did you know that it's anti-Christian to say "happy holidays" or "season's greetings"? Or support the separation of church and state? Or just to not be a Christian? Did you know?

    Men

    Here are some of the ways to apparently hate men:

    -Be mostly lesbian.
    -Be pro-choice.
    -Fail to support Harvey Weinstein.
    -Oppose the prostitution of women.
    -Believe that women should have the right to vote.
    -Find sex robots disgusting.
    -Take President Trump at his word in the infamous Access Hollywood video. He was totally joking, as evidenced by his lifestyle.

    Women

    -Disagree politically with conservative, anti-feminist women. They are women, after all, and feminism is totally about agreeing with all women all the time!
    -Reject a sexual advance from a man who claims to be a woman.
    -Support the Me Too movement. That's not sex-positive!
    -Be pro-choice. Some fetuses are female.

    Transgender People

    -Be primarily attracted to the female body. Prejudice against transgender "women", you know?
    -Have anything good to say about the female body. After all, some women have male bodies.
    -Refer to the female body at all, including in the form of protest against sexual violence (e.g. wear a $#@! hat to a protest action).
    -Fail to oppose the naming of a child's sex on their birth certificate.
    -Disagree with the idea that gender self-identification alone should be the standard for entry into the women's bathroom, locker room, sports team, prison, etc.

    "Sex Workers"

    Did you know that one can only oppose the prostitution of women and children if they hate prostitutes? It's true! It's absolutely true! Even if you're motivated by your own experience. To add another layer of bigotry, you can use the term "prostituted women" instead of "sex worker" to suggest that prostitution is a condition, not a job.

    Conservatives

    The third fabricated identity group out of the last three. Anyway, you can be "prejudiced against conservatives" by disagreeing with them politically.

    Now you know some ways how to totally be a xenophobe according to the internet.

    You are the worst example of whining here. Everyone has to agree with you or else there is something wrong but never with you. You bring your problems here and expect everyone to pity you.

    I have never read a positive post by you. Not one. No one can be that miserable and be alive.

    You have to keep in mind that it does not matter to some people what you actually say. All that matters to them is what they imagined you said. So even if you've never actually expressed any dislike for Jews as a people, it makes no difference to Israel's loyalists and apologists. They will still accuse you of being anti-Semitic because that's what they imagine you to be and because they have no real defense of Israel's aggressive expansionism. And there is really no point in addressing these types of people except in the most cursory fashion. It's far better to pretend as if they do not exist and to focus your energies on people who are not mentally imbalanced and pathologically dishonest.

    You conveniently left out claims of rape by women, too.
    Women are just as screwed up as men, maybe even more so. An unfounded claim of rape by a woman is laughed off, but one woman comes forward, without evidence or witnesses and claims she was assaulted? Hold the world up, we have to force our claim by using someone without jurisdiction: The FBI

    Oh, by the way... I know exactly how you feel. I am constantly accused of being for or against things that I am not actually for or against. Just as one recent example, today I was accused of being a Bernie Sanders supporter. I admit that there are certain things about Bernie that I find appealing, but there is also certain things about Trump that I find appealing. But there is a big difference between supporting certain aspects of a person's politics and being their supporter. Unfortunately, such nuance is lost on certain people who tend towards simplistic thinking. For them, complexity is something they struggle with, which is why they seek to reduce everything to an overly simple dichotomy. Either you're pro-Israel or you're anti-Semitic. Either you're a Trump cultist or you're a Bernie supporter. Either you're pro-American or anti-American. Their small minds cannot conceive of any middle ground or subtleties, so if you happen to occupy that middle ground, like most reasonable people do when it comes to complex issues, their small mind short circuits and begins spitting out programmed responses, like a robot that has begun to malfunction. And as I already said, there is little to be gained by debating a robot.
