People are incapable of applying critical thinking to traditions. They grew up with beer and car ads, so that's normal. Website ads are new, so they get treated with basic critical thinking and are hated, because that's the logical way to feel about all ads.
The ads are really affecting me. I'm reaching my threshold.
Unless they intentionally damage your life by influencing coworkers, friends, and family,
I hate to break it to you, but what you just described is precisely what stigmatising gayness does.
Sociopaths have feelings, the idea that they don't is a false stereotype. Actually, the word "sociopath" itself is inaccurate and often considered a slur.
Yeah, that's usually how people use cliches. They hear something and think it sounds quippy in a rhetorical sense, even if it's not what they mean. It's a lazy way of participating in a conversation without actually putting forward any ideas of your own. It's the death of sincerity.
You could take it even farther and just say "don't insult anyone" Seems pretty safe to me.
That suggestion seems to be beyond your capabilities, since you began your comment with a sarcastic quip intended to insult my reasoning capabilities.
Insults are a conversational, social, and emotional weapon. Weapons have valid uses, for example in self defence.
The use of many weapons has effects beyond the immediate violence they do. For example if you buy a gun from a cartel, you help them scale their business and sell more guns, leading to more gun violence. Likewise if you use slurs against marginalised communities, you reinforce the stigma and make the slur more potent, increasing the violence done later. You're emboldening an infrastructure of violence in both cases.
If you insult someone by calling them gay, you hurt them and you also hurt all gay people. But if you insult someone by calling them straight, you hurt them without hurting all straight people. Because you are not emboldening an extant infrastructure of violence.
