    Yeah it’s extremely shitty to say “it’s bad they’re proving stereotypes correct.” That’s what bigots say. What you say before or after have no relevance. Don’t say reactionary shit and it won’t get removed.

      Bigots say stereotypes are bad because people they hate do them.

      Sagging your pants doesn’t fucking matter, people say sagging your pants is bad because black people do it.

      People didn’t start saying “lying to justify a genocide is bad because jews do it” they just think it’s bad that anybody would lie to justify a genocide.

      That’s what I have a problem with.

      If you’d like to explain to me why I’m bad for saying they shouldn’t lie to justify a genocide go for it. I’m saying you cannot call any criticism of you antisemitism if you’re also doing a bunchbof bad shit for people to get mad at you.

      You’re just looking for something to get mad about and ironically getting pretty close to “saying it’s bad to lie to justify a genocide is antisemitism”

      What stereotype am I even supposed to be saying they’re playing into because I’m pretty sure “jews are really bad at using media to control a natrative” is like, literally the exact opposite of the stereotype
