1. Denuncia Unánime: Un Crimen de Odio por Homofobia.
La conversación se centra en la convicción de que el asesinato de Jonathan Joss fue un acto de violencia motivado explícitamente por el odio homofóbico. Los usuarios rechazan cualquier otra narrativa y lo enmarcan como la consecuencia directa de una campaña de acoso anti-LGBTQ+.
- Hate is violence, and homophobia kills. Quite directly in this case. We lost a celebrated voice actor because of anti-lgbt, after a sustained anti-lgbt campaign against them by former neighbors.
- Jonathan joss was murdered in a hate crime. He was targeted for being gay. His house was burnt down, his dog was decapitated and displayed, and ultimately he was murdered all because of who and how he loved.
- Literally a murder provoked by racism and homophobia. All claims to the contrary are horseshit.
- Call it what it was, a hate crime. Homophobia is alive and well in the year 2025. People need to get a fucking grip and get over the fact that queer people exist.
2. Críticas a la Policía: Inacción y Negligencia.
Existe una fuerte indignación hacia las fuerzas del orden, acusadas de ignorar las denuncias previas de amenazas y acoso que sufrieron Joss y su esposo. La declaración inicial de la policía de que no había evidencia de un crimen de odio es vista como complicidad o un intento de encubrir su negligencia.
- Homophobia kills. Law enforcement ignored their reports of threats and someone burning down their home. Now, one of them is dead rip.
- Fuck the fucking twatxan police who said the murder had nothing to do with his sexuality. And people wonder why we still need to celebrate pride.
- Of course the cops are claiming the murder of jonathan joss isnt a hate crime despite it clearly being one. A reminder to any bootlicker that cops are and always will be the enemy of marginalized people.
- It's such a blatant example of how much the cops actively avoid protecting queer people. Not just a failure of duty, not just a passive fuck up, but an endorsement of homophobia through intentional avoidance of action.
3. El Rol de los Medios: Acusaciones de Encubrimiento.
Los usuarios critican duramente a los medios de comunicación por su cobertura del asesinato. Se les acusa de minimizar la motivación homofóbica, describir el crimen como una simple "disputa entre vecinos" y omitir el contexto de odio que condujo a la tragedia, considerándolos cómplices de la normalización de la violencia.
- The part that is hardening me the most, apart from the crime itself, is how the media is treating it. No headline says it was a hate crime.
- Any media outlet not calling the murder of jonathan joss, voice actor of john redcorn in king of the hill, a homophobic hate crime is complicit in enabling the hate and homophobia in america.
- The fact that the media is describing a horrible homophobic murder after horrible cruel homophobia incidents as a “disagreement with a neighbor” is super fucked up.
- Heavily redacted yahoo story, huh. No mention of homophobia. And “argument with a neighbor” like it’s somehow partly his fault.
4. La Homofobia como Amenaza Vigente y Letal.
El asesinato es interpretado como una prueba contundente de que la homofobia violenta no ha desaparecido. Muchos expresan que este suceso desmiente la falsa sensación de seguridad y aceptación, y reafirma la necesidad de seguir luchando por los derechos y la seguridad de la comunidad LGBTQ+.
- Jonathan joss's murder is hitting me really hard. I think because a lot of people think that violent and rampant homophobia is a thing of the past. Like equal marriage made everything okay.
- Don't let anyone tell you that homophobia is a thing of the past. Don't let anyone tell you how safe america is for people like us.
- This is why we need pride. Homophobia is still alive and people are dying because of it. Sickening!!
- This literally horrific, it’s easy to forget how violent homophobia in this country can still be.
