I can't tell what is sarcastic/ironic and what is sincere here

[–]darbarismopowerful sorceror [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

the downvoted dude is a smug idiot complaining about people making fun of him being a smug idiot by sarcastically being a smug idiot

[–]MissSwat [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

That is so meta, but I think we still need to go deeper.

On a subreddit where people pretend to be smug idiots?

[–]PhysicsIsMyMistress [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Yes, he's a "smug idiot" for not being okay with homophobia.

[–]Aoe330 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I suspect that the problem was not that message being wrong, but instead the method of delivery.

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Apparently they're not really homophobic. It's an anti-militant atheist circlejerk which (to my mind) got a bit carried away and started circlejerking about something that was more explicitly anti-homophobia than anti-religion. I think. :S

[–]PhysicsIsMyMistress [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Circlejerks tend to get carried away. I'm reminded of the time /r/panichistory started defending torture.

I tried to work it out, gave myself a headache and still got it wrong. I've since taken a painkiller.

If at first you don't succeed, double down?

Seems to be the standard when people get downvoted. Though I usually take that as a hint that my post wasn't welcome in whatever sub..

Does that guy have 4 fingers?

[–]PrinceOWaleswhy isn't there a white history month? [スコア非表示]  (38子コメント)

He pretty much validates the existence of /r/magicskyfairy

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (37子コメント)

Why, for taking issue with homophobia?

[–]PrinceOWaleswhy isn't there a white history month? [スコア非表示]  (31子コメント)

No, for feeling that his atheism inherently makes him superior

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (29子コメント)

Maybe it does make him superior to homophobes.

[–]avoidtheshitosphere [スコア非表示]  (16子コメント)

That's like saying someone's hairstyle makes them superior to racists.

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (15子コメント)

What are you on about? The post he was answering was snarkily defending homophobia.

[–]avoidtheshitosphere [スコア非表示]  (14子コメント)

I'm sorry, maybe I'm confused but it seemed like you were conflating religion with homophobia.

[–]mataleon19 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You could only get that from his post if you were actively looking for it.

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (11子コメント)

Not exactly. Certain churches do promote homophobia and the general vibe of those folks there gives me that impression. The impression of having a disdain for pro-gay stuff with roots in religion, that is. Lots of calling him gay as an insult for example, and just the fact that they have an issue with that pic in the first place. Why are they pissed ff with a person pissed off with a bigoted message?

[–]avoidtheshitosphere [スコア非表示]  (10子コメント)

Well, that sub exists to make fun of smug atheists. They're not making fun of him for insulting homophobes, they're making fun of him for being a greasy-haired dorky-looking dude making a dumb face and flipping off the back of a car like it's some kind of statement.

Most people on magicskyfairy are liberals who resent atheists (especially /r/atheism atheists) talking about religious people like they are all social conservatives.

Just to give a little personal background - I used to post on magicskyfairy when /r/atheism was at its peak. I grew up with one parent in the Canadian United Church (totally pro-LGBTQ, perform same-sex marriages, etc) and one parent who grew up Ismaili (possibly the most liberal Muslim sect in the West). I disliked reddit atheists because their anti-theist arguments seemed to rest on assumptions that were just patently untrue based on my lived experience.

They're not reacting to that poster for defending homosexuals. They're making fun of them for assuming they were homophobes.

"Look at this smug douche with his greasy ponytail taking a middle-finger mirror selfie in a car's rear windscreen thinking he's making some kind of difference by posting his unassailable opinion on the internet."

"How dare you! You must be homophobes!"

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Yeah fair enough. Think I fell victim to Poe's law. I'm from UK and atheism is sort of the default here, so I'm not sensitive to obnoxious militant atheism cause it isn't really much of a thing here.

WRT that pic though, are you not projecting a lot of assumptions onto the guy's personality and motives? That's a really awful bumper sticker, I could be inclined to send a similar pic to my friends if I ever came across one like that. More as a 'look at this twat' than as a grand gesture of social change.

You know what's not smug at all? Ridiculing people for their looks. I'm sure you're not dorky looking at all.

[–]shhkari [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Well, that sub exists to make fun of smug atheists.

Then why the fuck are they making fun of a guy for flipping off a homophobic bumper sticker.

Why is there an assumption this has anything to do with the guy being an atheist?

[–]PhysicsIsMyMistress [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

While it's true that not all homophobes are religious and not all religious people are homophobes, there is a relationship between religious and homophobia.

[–]theepicshrimp [スコア非表示]  (11子コメント)

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (10子コメント)

I find it difficult to care about any perceived smugness when it's being used against a bunch of self congratulating homophobes indulging a persecution complex.

[–]theepicshrimp [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

You have discovered the true purpose of MSF: the last bastion of homophobia on teh interwebs. its only a matter of time before the oppressive admins stop all the rampant homophobia on that sub that is totally real and actually exists. gg boys.

Isn't there some rule against brigading other subreddits? Why are you following the bot linking here when you never post in SRD?

[–]shannondoahattempted to oust the Jewluminati in just fifteen minutes. [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Well,it is when people who are SRD regulars who go and comment into the link post-that is a bannable offense.(EDIT:SRD rules) Not what /u/theepicsshrimp is doing.

[–]PhysicsIsMyMistress [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

/u/theepicsshrimp is brigading from magicskyfairy over to here. That's against Admin rules, not SRD rules.

[–]darbarismopowerful sorceror [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

maybe they're making fun of some self-aggrandizing nerd who took a selfie of himself flipping off a bumper sticker.

no, nevermind, they're definitely a conspiracy of homophobes

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

See, I don't think the bumper sticker pic is that bad. The sticker's awful, why not take a pic showing your disdain? Maybe it does seem self-aggrandizing, I didn't think of it like that. With that in mind the thread did seem genuinely homophobic, or at least concerned more with some supposed religious persecution than with straight-up homophobia. I concede I misjudged it. For what it's worth I'm not American though so this anti-Christian, anti-Atheist pendulum is foreign to me.

[–]Dr_irrational [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure a lot of atheists find MSF funny. Source: am atheist that finds MSF funny because I got over my edgelord /r/atheism phase.

[–]PhysicsIsMyMistress [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I think it's fair to say he's superior to the owner of the bumper sticker.

[–]Jaikaro [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You can be against homophobia, just don't be an atheist while doing it!

[–]thesilvertongueBanal Cabal [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

For thinking an appropriate way of taking issue with homophobia is taking selfies of flicking off an empty window.

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

I've since realised I misjudged the userbase there, fell foul of Poe's Law. That said, I think people are assuming a lot about that picture, it shows a guy sticking his finger up at a homophobic bumper sticker, not a religious symbol.

[–]thesilvertongueBanal Cabal [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Doesnt matter it's pretty hilariously cringey either way as is the comment, which is way overboard and is absolutley refering to religion.

[–]Cheese-n-Opinion [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I just see a guy mocking a really mockable thing. Not sure why it is cringey. There's no reason to believe he's got pretensions of effecting grand social change, just taking the piss out of something that annoys him. I think you've assumed a lot about his personality for the sake of the jerk.

[–]OldOrder[🍰] [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Side note: Is that picture real? Did some dude take a picture of himself flipping off a bumper sticker. That is the definition of so brave.

[–]TheRealQU4D [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Either it was by someone from magicskyfairy and he was doing it sarcastically or he is just the bravest.
