1. La Homofobia como Crítica Liberal contra Trump y Putin.
Una táctica recurrente entre los críticos de Trump y Putin es representarlos en caricaturas y memes como una pareja gay. Varios usuarios señalan que esta estrategia, lejos de ser una crítica efectiva, refuerza estereotipos negativos y constituye en sí misma una forma de homofobia, al usar la homosexualidad como un insulto.
- Ah yes, using homophobia to own the russians. Well played liberal, well played.
- Liberals: homophobia is bad also liberals: check out this funny meme of trump and putin wearing makeup and kissing. How humiliating!
- It's weird how the rule appears to be that if you're shipping trump and putin you're allowed to do a little bit of homophobia, as a treat.
- Western liberals can't stop depicting trump and putin as a gay couple doing gay stuff. There's so many caricatures of them, out there, either fucking or giving each other a blowjob. Homophobia as the height of liberal criticism of trump and putin.
2. La Homofobia como Pilar de la Ideología Rusa.
El texto destaca que la homofobia no es un elemento marginal, sino una parte central de la propaganda y la ideología fascista del estado ruso. Se utiliza para construir una identidad nacional en oposición a un "Occidente degenerado" y para justificar la violencia y la represión contra la comunidad LGBTQ+, tanto dentro de Rusia como en los territorios ocupados.
- A lot of people in the west have no idea how central homophobia is to russian propaganda and their fascist ideology. It is a massive part of their national identity, how the are not degenerate queers like the fallen societies in the west are, and how russia needs to purge the world of it all.
- Homophobia and transphobia are intrinsic to today’s russian ideology. They fuel violence and war crimes against lgbtq people in the russian-occupied territories of ukraine, activists say. .
- In 2013 russia passed a law that limited the visibility of queer people under the guise of "protecting the children", kickstarting insane waves of homophobia all over the country, and starting war with ukraine next year only sealed the deal.
- We all know what "traditional values" are in russia.homophobia, racism, misogyny, christian nationalism.
3. El Debate: ¿Sátira contra Homófobos o Simple Prejuicio?
Existe una división de opiniones sobre si el uso de imágenes homosexuales para ridiculizar a líderes homófobos es una forma válida de sátira o simplemente perpetúa el prejuicio. Unos argumentan que es una manera de atacar el ego de estas figuras usando su propia intolerancia en su contra. Otros sostienen que la "homofobia irónica" sigue siendo homofobia y daña a la comunidad gay al validar la idea de que ser homosexual es vergonzoso.
- I always thought that was specifically meant to rub putins homophobia in his facr.
- It’s a good point. I personally don’t fuss about the inherent homophobia about trump and putin (or other similar trash) being gay together. It’s so potentially ego destroying to them it could help things.
- This shit is so incredibly gross. And the people engaging in it absolutely refuse to accept that "ironic" homophobia is still homophobia.
- People still doing "trump and putin are gay lol" jokes apparently. I'm sure they'd hate being called gay, but by spreading those memes people are just buying into their homophobia. Plus they're not going to see it anyway. Gay people will, though.
