Why does anime have so much religious symbolism?

So I've noticed in alot of anime shows I keep seeing the cross. Sometimes the cross is upside down. It will often appear on a character as part of their clothing, accessories or weapons.

And characters in anime who are supposed to be Christian are often really big sinners (like me, unfortunately)

I've become even more sensitive to this phenomenon since coming across the Witch House music genre and I also stumbled across a really disturbing satanic porn a few months ago. The porn was a really fast slideshow about 40 minutes and satanic images, symbols and text mixed in with images of anime, hentai, gay, lesbian, shemale, interracial, cuckold, orgy, masturbation and many Christian symbols (often upside down cross). Lots of blasphemy and desecration.

I initially wanted to find out what all the satanic stuff meant but in the end I decided that probably just trying to find out more about it would suck me into the whole thing more like a certain magical girl anime. So I never looked at it again.

Even now I feel like just watching it once has impacted me. It was after I watched it that I made an account myself and started editing and uploading HMVs and PMVs.

Anyway, back to the topic. Why does anime have so much religious symbolism? Is Japan a Christian nation with Christian artists just trying to remind people that there is something pure and holy and not to give in to the lust envoked by anime? Or is it something more sinister? Are the artists actually trying to brainwash us into casting aside religion?

Here is an example:
Notice the earrings and the bra strings. Notice the upside down crosses.

It's just an aesthetic that people like for some reason, you're reading into this way too much.

For most of the people that watch anime, religion is something they couldn't care less about. What makes you think that they care about religious symbolism? It really doesn't matter.

You might be right but I am an INTJ so I always want to know the truth and the reason behind things (well at least the things that matter to me).

In church I always hear pastors say that the devil's greatest trick is convincing the world that he doesn't exist.

An example of brainwashing (non-religious):

I'm pretty sure it's just because crosses look cool the vast majority of the time and there's no deeper meaning. The few anime i know that have something to with Christianity are Trigun (Think the author is christian) and Angel's Egg. (The film was made after the creator lost faith in Christianity)

Well if you really want to know... I'd say it's a pretty cool trick by the church to react this way when confronted with their total lack of evidence for anything like the existence of a supernatural evil being.

The devil or vague concepts like "hell" are scare tactics that keep believers in line. If people start appealing to fear, it's a pretty clear sign that YOU are currently being brainwashed. Religions have done the same shit over and over, scaring the fuck out of their followers to keep dissent down. It's plain to see when it's other religions doing it, but when your pastor tells you a functionally identical story you don't even question it.

Matter of fact, you're worse at thinking for yourself if you're scared. I mean just look at you, it's working perfectly. You're afraid of being corrupted, so you're less likely to consider alternative views. You're thinking something that the church doesn't like? That's the devil tempting you, stop thinking it! Also, the total absence of any evidence for his existence is just evidence that he's super smart and you should fear him even more!

I'd say mission accomplished.



Also you're right, diamonds are stupid as hell. Never in my life will I buy one.

@railey2 Okay but why only the Christian cross? Why not other relgious symbols? Why not logos from fashion brands and big tech companies? The cross isn't meant to be cool. It is a very specific symbol and it being put upside down means something and I didn't learn that in church.

Also I do question pretty much everything about the Church. But even if Christianity is all total bull I believe that one of the religions has at least got it a little bit right. I don't believe for a second that a random big bang created everything. What came first the chicken or the egg? I say the answer to that question is God came first.

Also I can recognise when I'm being brainwashed and still have to do certain things because others won't get it if I don't. For example I did buy a diamond for my fiancee and we did put up a tree this Christmas even though I know it has nothing to do with Christianity (yet the pastor didn't mind xmas decorations and everyone doing secret santa lol what a joke)
And since I was raised in the church even if I tried to completely abandon my faith I would still not fully be able to think independently outside of it and act accordingly.

Also @fancyjasper its really cool to see you in a thread like this and not be the one shutting it down.

There aren't that many world religions to pick from, and the Christian/satanic aesthetics are already well established, easy to recognize and look kinda good. As I said before, it's much more about the aesthetic than about the meaning.

Also you can't really "pervert" the jewish faith without eyebrows going up all around, and if you try to do anything with the islamic faith you might actually be in mortal peril.

So Christianity it is, I suppose.
Although yin and yang sees plenty of use too.

@railey2 As I thought. So Christianity is the easy target. I still think there is something more here than it just being cool or knowing that nothing will come of it with a few Christians being upset.

Its got to be deeper. I don't see it happening with other mediums on such a scale. Not in movies or cartoons. Not even that much in video games.

what else do you think it is? Some sort of devilish plot to have people stray from their faith?

Why does it have to be deeper? Maybe what you're feeling is just self-importance, people actually don't care and all they're doing is using a nice aesthetic that people can easily attach meaning to?

If I was a lazy writer I'd probably use christian symbolism too. Good way to pretend you're deep without having to put much thought into it. And at any rate, it looks cool, whichever way you rotate the cross

Hmm... This could very well be the case.

Although they say that The Bible was written by people who were inspired by God or something (this is something that I question alot and have watched many documentaries about how The Bible was put together and what has been left out etc)
I do wonder if people get inspired to create something that they don't even realise is against God.

I mean, if God is real and the Devil is real and he did really get cast out of heaven along with a third of the angels that followed him and he knows that everything in The Bible is true and that his time is short then wouldn't he hate the cross and everything about it? Wouldn't he be wanting to corrupt as many as he can in various ways? After all it is easy to go to hell. Just be born into sin (as we all are thanks to Eve listening to The Devil apparently) and then just don't accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and continue to sin in blissful ignorance.

Jesus is apparently the only way to escape hell according to the Bible. And the cross represents Jesus taking our sin and becoming the ultimate sacrifice before rising from the dead, apparently.

Anime is full of cutesy things. Get em young. Corrupt them young. All that ecchi and fanservice. Look at that upside down cross. Don't pay attention to any of those silly Christians look at them all! Most of them don't even practice what they preach. The whole concept is dumb.

I could go on.

So, I'm just saying man I'm not so sure about Christianity. But I'm also not so sure that the cross in anime is so innocent and just some edgy artists having some fun thinking it looks cool.

Anyway, I'm happy that we've been having this discussion. I hope we get to see some insight from other users and that the mods won't shut it all down.

I wouldn't overthink it too much. These religions basically all trace back to Ra in some form or another. The personification of the sun.

Anime love pseudo christianity-plots for the same reason why some western people are obsessed with buddhism etc and make their own religion out of it or love to see foreign concepts in series: it's exotic for them.

I can name you in one second at least favorite manga I have that rely on christian mythology or are influenced by (D.Gray-man, Owari no Seraph, Evangelion) but the last thing I would think that there is actually a religious message behind.

There are like 1 % christians in Japan, so they aren't involved with that. We make up stories about greek mythology or something chinese or japanese too. It's just about the mythology and not the religion.

It looks actually pretty cool. Just because it wasn't meant to be cool, doesn't mean you couldn't make your own thing about it.

It's impossible to answer it like that. New species don't pop up like that. The ancestors of our house chickens lay eggs with individuals that became slowly more and more similar to the house chicken you know. Because evolution. It doesn't make sense, neither metaphorical nor in reality.

Probably because christianity is such a foreign and exotic concept to them that they find the imagery cool and different, the same reason some people in the west wear/draw mandala thingies, for example, or use other mythologies in artworks. It's different. It's just an interesting aesthetic to them.

Trust me, you'll know when an anime/manga draws real inspiration from judeo-christian concepts, because they won't just be aesthetic elements and imagery thrown onto a canvas.

@FlowersInTheRain if you're looking for "corrupting" influences, you're looking at the completely wrong places.

The biggest killer of the Christian faith isn't anime tiddies or any sort of sexual practice (as we know, many faithful Christian leaders have no problem fucking children, it doesn't seem to affect their faith at all).
What actually gets people to lose faith, the ideal of epistemic rationality. If you want to preserve your faith, upside down crosses aren't what you should be scared of. Instead, you should be scared of scepticism, the scientific method, you know.. everything related to the idea that beliefs require evidence to be valid. That's what is killing religion in the west right now.

If I was satan that's what I'd be spreading far and wide, a desire to have accurate beliefs about reality. Why would satan bother with some lame symbolism? That's no way to "corrupt" people.

If you want people to reject Jesus, the best way to do that is to educate them, and to make them care about reality so much that they don't want to take things on faith anymore. Statistically speaking, the higher your degree of education, the lower the chance you're religious.

If Satan is real, his strongest move would've been to kickstart the age of enlightenment.

It's really not rocket-science when you think about it. Characters like Ryomou Shimei from Ikkitousen wears a cross with her maid (styled) outfit because she technically has an 'evil spirit' residing within her in the form of a dragon. A demon/dragon spirit that emits malice, hatred, and regret through one of her 'evil eyes.' Adding religious symbolism like crosses to this concept just adds to its effects. Not just that, but in anime story-telling, there is the concept of being possessed or cursed by a demon or whatnot. An idea that is obviously taken from Christian/Jewish context. So naturally it just makes for a good/deep story.

@ everyone above - Alright then perhaps it is just a happy coincidence. The Japanese artists may not know that they are subconsciously telling anime fans to not respect Christianity. I do keep forgetting that anime is made for the Japanese not for us westerners with a Christian value system. But hey still all works out in the Devil's favour if he exists and Christianity is the truth.

Also the chicken and the egg thing - I was trying to say that I believe that all life was created by God. Maybe some of it evolved on its own but I believe that the original blueprint came from a God. I believe in science aswell but even science doesn't have all of the answers.

@railey2 I believe the age of enlightenment began when Adam and Eve ate from the tree of Knowledge and became aware of themselves. Apparently they were punished for disobeying. It wasn't the right time. God wanted them to eat from that tree eventually but just wanted to test them since they had free will (or did they since they were punished for choosing wrongly?).

Anyway, good talk guys. You've given me alot to think about.

Don't forget Sakamichi no Apollon. All the Christianity without the losing faith part.

Christian symbolism also seems to be common in shows about vampires (e.g. Night Walker) and it's a no-brainer as to why.

Death Note's first OP heavily uses Christian symbolism as well. And there's a good reason for it - his God complex.

The age of enlightenment is a clearly defined period in the 18th century, where a variety of ideas were first spread to then later become the foundation of our western societies. Got absolutely nothing to do with Adam and Eve.

It's probably because Taoism, Buddhism, and Shintoism don't quite have the same level of struggle of good vs evil allegory potential and approaching apocalypse as far as I am aware. Japanese have been exposed to Christianity way more than Judaism or Islam or something. This makes it better suited for action shows that deal with the world's fate.

The cross is not Christian in origin anyway. Also an inverted cross isn't inherently a Satanic symbol it's a Catholic symbol relating to a saint who requested to be crucified upside down because he didn't want to be crucified like Christ. The original Christian symbol was two curved lines forming a fish.

Ironically some Christians in the middle ages wore pentagrams as talismans to ward off witches. The pentagram is of Greek origin iirc representing the path of Venus in the sky.

You can actually commonly see a star of david in many anime with magic but that's not intentionally taken from Judaism it's because it's taken from demonology and occultist literature which in part drew from Jewish mysticism.

@soverign For me Nanael is just a parody anyway. She was never a true angel always a fallen one. I really like Nanael because she reminds me of myself. She knows she is supposed to be good but she always does bad and she wants a harem. And she is pretty confident too and her excuses are hilarious. I miss my harems.

I might try making some AMVs since my PMVs keep getting taken down due to DMCA. One of my accounts got deleted and the other one is now temporarily restricted. I had so many more ideas oh well.

@traed Yeah I know the cross isn't Christian origin it just became the symbol after the prophecy of his death and resurrection came to pass. I didn't know about the inverted cross origins so thanks for that but I didn't mention so far what I saw being done with the inverted cross in the porn and many other symbols of Christianity were also desecrated. Some symbols include the white dove and the fish and Catholicism uses some that The Bible says shouldn't be used such as false images of Mary and baby Jesus and the Crucifix (image of Jesus on the cross). These are not to be used but the porn desecrated them all anyway. Some really really graphic stuff.

Christianity is really broad. My family is Methodist / Pentecostal.

She did all that? I don't know man I like to watch Queen's Blade stoned. I didn't realize she was my waifu until Vanquished Queens. For 10 years I had no waifu. For 10 years nobody told me to watch Queen's Blade. She should have been my waifu since 2009. Besides, I haven't finished it all.

Yeah, your girl went Palpatine. I haven't watched or read anything about Queens Blade afterwards, but before she went back to heaven her master plan was to give all the angels a harem of human men. She was an Anti-Lilith (hypogamy).

In Jewish folklore, from the Alphabet of Sirach (c. 700–1000 CE) onwards, Lilith appears as Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same clay as Adam—compare Genesis 1:27. (This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam's ribs: Genesis 2:22.) The legend developed extensively during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadah, the Zohar, and Jewish mysticism.[2] For example, in the 13th-century writings of Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she had coupled with the archangel Samael.[3]

@traed Yeah I know the cross isn't Christian origin it just became the symbol after the prophecy of his death and resurrection came to pass. I didn't know about the inverted cross origins so thanks for that but I didn't mention so far what I saw being done with the inverted cross in the porn and many other symbols of Christianity were also desecrated. Some symbols include the white dove and the fish and Catholicism uses some that The Bible says shouldn't be used such as false images of Mary and baby Jesus and the Crucifix (image of Jesus on the cross). These are not to be used but the porn desecrated them all anyway. Some really really graphic stuff.

Christianity is really broad. My family is Methodist / Pentecostal.


What was the hentai or doujin manga or just some random drawing? It's type of fetish. It basically is a reaction to Christian (most often Catholic) puritanical prudish ways suppressing sexuality. What is forbidden or hard to get becomes more desired. So nuns become objects of lust and crosses convenient dildos. Has no meaning in that kind of context. It mainly focuses on Catholic since it's the most structural of the Christian denominations and one of the most internationally known . Doesn't really have anything to do with anime since the fetish exists outside it.

The dichotomy between sacred and profane is one of the most prolific in art and permeates cultural consciousness. Turning what's sacred into profane and turning what's profane into sacred is a common way to get a strong emotional reaction out of an audience.

Catholicism has a much bigger array of cultural images and associations than any other christian denomination, because it's a more organized and unified form of christianity. If you want your work to be recognized as making a religious reference, it's natural to choose catholicism for being easily identified by most audiences. If you just think the images are cool, no christian denomination has a more defined 'brand' than catholicism.

In porn's case, it's using an ingrained cultural notion of what's sacred and what isn't to make the viewer feel like they're doing something that they shouldn't, either consciously or not.

After all it is easy to go to hell. Just be born into sin (as we all are thanks to Eve listening to The Devil apparently) and then just don't accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and continue to sin in blissful ignorance.

These sentences are kinda frightening and I must agree with @Railey2 that it shows how scared you are and how well these methods work on people. Religions control basic human needs, in some time of the year even if and when you are allowed to eat. They try to control people's sexuality and tell them what to be ashamed of and who should be punished for that.
And because people start to think on their own, they tell you are going to hell for it, since fear always worked to control a big mass.

Oh, bad bad religious people. They have their own beliefs and customs. If they don't force them on you, what's your problem? If Christian don't like abortions till 9 month, it doesn't mean you can't do it all the time. Of course only bad ones are Christians, but exploding brothers from some countries are good.

Now instead of fear of hell, there is fear that you will your job and will fall into misery, because of new religion called "tolerance" - which mean not tolerate, but think, feel and do as we want you to, or we want sue you, fire you and destroy you livelihood.

Except of what is worshipped, nothing changed. Still the same old shit. People somehow like object of cult. The same with things like royal family in UK for example. Why people still fed these leeches so they can play with their money? I can't understand it at all.

Except of what is worshipped, nothing changed. Still the same old shit. People somehow like object of cult. The same with things like royal family in UK for example. Why people still fed these leeches so they can play with their money? I can't understand it at all.

Tolerance also means to, in the name of tolerance, not tolerate the intolerant. I know you can't tell the difference because you're intolerant af, but hey. In case you didn't know, religions have a long track-record of fucking peoples rights and disrespecting their basic humanity. Maybe your argument would look better if you didn't contrast that to your baseless paranoia of "them damned lefties making people lose their jobs". And even that doesn't happen nearly as often as all the bigoted discrimination that lgbt people have to face, in no small part thanks to religion. There are thousands of documented hate-crimes committed against lgbt people every year, so if you really wanna play this game you really set yourself up to lose. I suggest you take your whining somewhere else, where people are still receptive to these stupid talking points.

So yeah, bad bad religious people. Gay marriage was only legalised in my country 2 years ago, because they stalled for like 40 years. Not good enough, fuck them.

I mean they do, that's the problem. Their beliefs influenced the whole society, historically speaking.

And almost everyone was in their lessons as a kid (now it is religion or ethic you have to pick) and that's the easiest age to manipulate you.
If someone hears the first time about hell with 20 (theoretically), they are most likely to roll their eyes.
If you hear your first time about hell when you are 5, it scares the shit out of you. For some for the rest of their life, you see.

But then I liked to go to the lessons, because our teacher and priest were overall very chill and liberal. We played cards and talked with them about everything more than we had actual religious lessons lol They told us to forget about hell and that a religion shouldn't imply fear in people, so everyone actually liked to go there and not because of fear of god or you had to etc.
I don't really see a problem in modern christianity and more open-minded christians or other religious people.

But yes, it DOES mean, when this kind of christians don't like anything, then other people couldn't do it too. Especially in the US but also here, christians can't differentiate between their own belief and their state. They always want that their belief is made into a law.

Historically, religion is one of the most enriching sources of inspiration for art & architecture. Cathedrals, The Renaissance, classical music. Even the earliest plays are Greek tragedies that deal with the will of the gods. Religion is the epicenter of culture and its mere presence is ubiquitous even in the lives of those who don't believe in it.

No it's not mean that. It's your redefinition of the world. Tolerance means you leave someone alone, not worship them and allow them to dictate YOUR own live.

Yes I know that, I'm not religious in any way, I'm atheist. I hate religions the same amount as I hate people, who think that they are worth more than me because they aren't hetero or white. Spoiler you are not, and I will never bend to your rule.

Your idea of tolerance is that I have to accept your way of living. No I don't have to. It means I have to leave you alone with your way of living. You are the ones, who want now revenge on religious/hetero people. You want destroy them for your pleasure. Do I want for non-hetero people to be gone? No. Of course you will frame me that I do. Do you want all people, who do not want to accept (not tolerate) your way of life? Yes you do.

About "gay marriage". You destroying the meaning of the marriage and you are happy about that? Also why would you even want marriage which is religious concept from very beginning? You wanna take from others, fuck their beliefs. Where is your tolerance? There is none. You never had one.

"I mean they do, that's the problem. Their beliefs influenced the whole society, historically speaking. "

So you now want YOURS beliefs to win over, right? And think no other than you is right. They bad we good! Where is the difference? There is none. So you don't have any more right to dictate your beliefs than others.

"And almost everyone was in their lessons as a kid (now it is religion or ethic you have to pick) and that's the easiest age to manipulate you. If someone hears the first time about hell with 20 (theoretically), they are most likely to roll their eyes. If you hear your first time about hell when you are 5, it scares the shit out of you.

Sure, right. But isn't this the same what you want to do? Tell kids, that you are good one, that your way of living is proper one? Wouldn't you raise your kid to be homosexual for example? I'm gonna guess that you hate your parents for being hetero. The same about transkids. If you tell kid "you are not boy, you are girl" they gonna fucking believe it! Right? So why are you pro transkids? The same thing as forcing them to go to church.

"But then I liked to go to the lessons, because our teacher and priest were overall very chill and liberal.

Well cool for you, I don't care for Christianity as an atheist, just it's hypocritical. You only like these who are leaning towards your beliefs. So yes, you do have problem with them. Just like these ones, who aren't really Christian.

"But yes, it DOES mean, when this kind of christians don't like anything, then other people couldn't do it too. Especially in the US but also here, christians can't differentiate between their own belief and their state. They always want that their belief is made into a law.

Sure I agree, so why are you making me say that males are women? I don't accept that and never will, but it doesn't mean you can't play that game by yourself, just don't involve me into it, but you want to jail people for that. Ostracize them. Other example is destroying female sports by allowing transwomen to participate. Where is the difference?

If accepting your shitty beliefs means that I can't live with my boyfriend anymore because your international hategroup will do their best to outlaw our relationship, then tolerating said beliefs is a horrible idea and will lead to less tolerance overall (because now lots of gay people can't live with their boyfriends anymore).
It is thus perfectly fine to not tolerate this intolerance, in the name of tolerance.
The way this argument works is kind of similar to self-defense. Almost everyone can agree that violence is bad, EXCEPT when you use it to prevent more violence.
Similarly, almost everyone agrees that intolerance is bad, except when.. you get it.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

If you have a problem with this argument, I'd love to hear it.


Now that the neutral part is done, let me get a bit more personal.
Regarding the last part of your post, I just love it love it love it. It's so good when people show their true colors, because I don't need to fuck around anymore and can just flame them without mods thinking that I'm taking things too far.
You believe that allowing gay people to marry destroys marriage for straight people. You think that homosexuals corrupt the whole system, they're such a disgusting disturbance to you that them merely doing the same thing as you ruins the entire thing for you. Even if they do it completely seperately and their actions have no effect at all on your life. And then you have the nerve to talk about tolerance, this it just too good.

Fuck you and your disgusting homophobia. No tolerance will be extended to the likes of you or anyone who shares your filthy, discriminatory beliefs. If you lived in my country and I saw you posting this shit on facebook, I'd be keeping a very close eye on the things you're saying and immediately report you to the authorities to have your ass fined if I found something that qualifies as hatespeech. And I'm almost certain you'd slip up eventually. You're 80 years behind the times on this one.

Last but not least, you actually believe that there's a meaningful number of people want to get rid of hetero people. You're delusional, but I covered that before so I'm not gonna get into that again. Still good to see you confirm it once more.

Yes I actually am? Marriage is not inherently religious. It's a public institution for consenting people that officially want take responsibility for each other. I wouldn't actually care, if it was open for more than two people too.
You could keep your own idea of marriage in your religious circle and not try to shove it in everyone's laws.

No, you don't have to. I don't care what you accept since I don't you and bet you aren't an important person in political manner. So, who cares about you or some others like you anyway?
If people like this try to influences laws, then I better fucking care.

Since when I did sign up to some kind of international hate group? Do you mean LGBT? I did not.

Where did you read that I want you to stop being gay or do I have problem with you living with other male? I do not. You can play however you want, do whatever you want, just allow other people to play as they want. If we don't want your gender game, why do you push to write laws which will jail people for not accepting people with dick as women?

About your intelectual quote, yes, but do you see it works both ways? It's true for both sides. You are intolerant of others. From my perspective you are intolerant of my beliefs. It will only work if you assume you are one who is right.

And yes, you destroyed meaning of marriage. Marriage was institution for male and female, to get together and start family in purpose to make children. You didn't make your own thing, you forced others to change to accommodate your wishes.

"If you lived in my country and I saw you posting this shit on facebook, I'd be keeping a very close eye on the things you're saying and immediately report you to the authorities to have your ass fined if I found something that qualifies as hatespeech. "

That's exactly the whole idea of your live. Hate Church, hate heterosexual, hate anyone who don't agree with you, but the only ones who should go to jail are your opponents.

"Last but not least, you actually believe that there's a meaningful number of people want to get rid of hetero people. You're delusional, but I covered that before so I'm not gonna get into that again. Still good to see you confirm it once more."

Yes, idea that everybody has to accept people with dicks are women mean there is no heterosexuality anymore. This also mean there is no homosexuality or bisexuality as you actively trying to destroy existence of biological sex in society mind.

It's definitely not a matter of perspective.

If you walk up to me with a shotgun and threaten to shoot me into the face, then I pull a gun out as well and shout back "you better watch out bro what the FUCK", you can't just respond "oh but now you're threatening ME, do you see how this works?" Homophobes like you are the aggressors, and don't you even try to pretend otherwise. Gay people didn't do shit to anyone and got lynched for centuries. Hatred against lgbt is the one-sided oppression of a minority group. This is not a confrontation where "it's true for both sides".

Not really interested in reading the rest of your crap, you're clearly being dishonest again. Here I thought I could have a genuine conversation with an honest homophobe, but when you realize that you're walking on thin ice, you always start lying. Oh how I would love to talk to a homophobe who openly admits that they're the aggressors, but you always jump into this victim mentality. "Railey you just hate heterosexuals, the gays are trying to destroy us, you're gonna send people to concentration camps for not sucking trans dick, waaaaah".
Yeah right, straight people are just so prosecuted, it's terrible out there for them. All that hate-crime against straight people.. oh wait it doesn't exist and you're still lying.
Weak.

Regardless, I feel so fucking sorry for you. And for your children, should you have them. I hope they won't be gay, but sadly there's a slim chance that they will be and in that case... oh boy. They're so gonna be so estranged.


Thanks for making this world a worse place with your hatred, bud.

I mean it seems like you want to be hated by me. You just can't belief that I genuinely don't want to throw you in jail or something. Disappointed, you wished for more?

I just don't like, that you claim you are allowed to hate me, because I'm not minority and that you think you are inherently right because you are minority. I don't think I am better than you because I'm not gay, but you sure think you are better than me because you are.

If you think hate is bad, then you should hate yourself. But you want to hate. You want your polizei to come and arrest me, because I don't want to accept your beliefs.

There is only fine amount of time, when someone spits on you and you can pretend it's rain. You think people who are majority don't deserve to be respected. You think it's fine to hate them because it's enough of them.

You're X-crazy, dude. Always when I see people dropping that point, it's crystal-clear to me that they don't have any valid arguments anymore lmao



I'm sorry did I have some kind of hallucination, that LGBT people are saying that saying "Biological sex is real" is hate crime? They sure do. If you want to erase idea of biological sex, that means there is no heteroSEXuality, homoSEXuality or biSEXuality anymore.

isn't that the truth.
When people start playing the victim to justify the oppression of a minority group, you know they're serious about fucking peoples shit up. Goddamn persecution-comlex rethoric, I can't believe it actually works on some people. Like you can tell he clearly fell for it at some point.

People have already explained to you that this so dear hot take of yours you find oh so real simply isn't true. No significant group of people claims biological sex doesn't exist. You approaching trans people to say 'biological sex is real' is meant to demean, humilliate and invalidate that group of people by cowardly stating 'the truth' and implying their identity shouldn't be taken seriously. You're saying it as an attack. People are offended by attacks. The sun is bright.

If law allows you to fire people, because they said something like that, how it's not "significant" group? You just made it into law. How it's not significant?

Also if you thinking that saying "biological sex is real" is attack on trans people... You contradicting yourself.

I just ask you to not force me to think that males, who identify as women are identical to females. The same about transmen.

I just ask you to not hate people, who don't accept idea of gender, so females can have their own spaces and males can have their own spaces.

If you want to make space segregated by gender no by sex - I also don't have problem with that.

The difference is, you claiming that my option is crime and want burn me on the stake, and I just think your is weird and I don't want to participate in it.
