The bigots of Reddit have come for my main account now.
So I started using my main account on Reddit the way I was using u/Lord_Shadowfire, even though u/DarkMagickan makes me a little sad every time I read it. It doesn't feel quite the same, and I really can't explain why, except that 2008 me came up with the name, and I really don't like him for various reasons.
Anyway, I started posting more pro LGBT stuff in r/rosesarered, because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment. (Actually, it's because I'm stubborn and a little rebel, but I never seem to learn.) I posted three silly memes in a row:
I thought I was playing it cool in my responses to their responses, ignoring the blatant homophobic bait and reporting it instead. Then I wake up today to find I'm banned for 2 days on my main account.
First thing the second I'm not banned, I'm taking it up with the CEO himself.

Maybe stop going from one social media site to posting an agenda (regardless of what is for it against) and just talk about your life and joke around. You might get a different reaction from people.
@LordShadowfire It doesn’t matter what choices. People have their reasons.
It happened to me. I was in a store buying lunch while on the phone to my wife. And just because of what I was wearing a guy started hurling abuse and tried to attack me.
@CGS1984 I'm asking because at the moment, I'm being targeted by people who think mistakenly that being bisexual or gay is a choice. So if that wasn't your intent by that comment, I retract what I both said and thought.
@LordShadowfire It doesn’t matter what you do, some people will like you, some will hate you. You can’t change that, the harder you try the harder they resist. Certainly no amount of memes.
You can beat them with a meal deal sandwich. I enjoyed that. But it wasn’t edible afterwards.
@CGS1984 I wasn't trying to make the homophobic haters like me. I was trying to expose them. They got together and reported my alt account en masse after bombarding me with literally dozens of hateful replies per day until I lost my temper with them.
