Fkn weird either way imo.
Guessing it says "kill"? I feel people who are that vocal about pedophiles are usually compensating for their own internal demons. Someone should keep an eye on that man...
I really hate that line of thinking. I get why people make that comment, but I really hate it either way. Just because some people who vocally take one stance doesn't mean they are always secretly in support of it behind closed doors. I know it does happen, but applying that logic to everyone is just wrong.
If we expand that type of thinking to others does that mean that Lemmy users are overwhelmingly Nazis because they have been so outspoken against them? They must be hiding their love of Elon and Trump just because they keep talking about how much they hate them all the time. Clearly projecting.
Unless you have legitimate reason to believe someone has ulterior motives behind their words or actions you need to assume they are being truthful. Innocent until proven guilty n all that.
While I agree with this, I still think people who repeatedly bring up how opposed they are to something, apropos of nothing, are a bit strange and at best probably need to talk through some stuff.
Calling out your dislike of something when it's presented to you is fine. A pattern of interrupting unrelated conversations to do so is a bit worrisome.
I can agree with that somewhat. Time, place and how often it comes up would make me mildly suspicious of someone, but I feel like I often see people instantly jump there without any additional information.
Bingo, if I unprompted went on a rant about my disdain for Calvinism it would be out of place and fucking weird whereas within a conversation of Christian theologies that missed the mark about the overall message a rant about Calvinism would make sense.
