    I am disappointed in my gender that more than 40℅ say that thinking there are only 2 genders is a green flag.

      There are also other disappointing ones like refusing to see the Barbie movie and that so many think saying “black lives matter” is a red flag.

      The alternative to the latter is that you don’t think black lives matter, which is the real red flag.

          They had a bunch of protests during 2020, and a couple of those protests got out of control (Kyle Rittenhouse famously murdered several protesters at one). The conservative news space spent the next 6 months painting them as a Marxist terrorist group and a lot of people bought in to that framing.

          I think there were some clashes during the protests and also the movement got kinda perverted into some pseudo racist exclusivity and also had a lot of white people with white saviour complexes. There are also the folks who think that it should say All Lives Matter but they are kinda missing the point.

        Shouldn’t all lives matter?

        Why exclude a certain group, that’s racist by itself.

        And how is refusing to see a movie a red flag, I simply don’t care about movie, I rarely even watch movies in general.
