It does not seem like all those gay people are having babies in Japan right now either

Who the fuck is still talking about Chinese overpopulation? Feels like something you'd hear during the first Bush administration

I remember reading this entire novel length comment blaming homosexuality on modern school and workplace culture being too gender segregated. They argued that in modern society men and women mostly socialise only among their own gender from a very young age which leads into them being unable to form relationships with the opposite gender and to choose same sex relationships over heterosexual marriage. I think they advocated for government sponsored social mixers for young people or something, lol

It was interesting to see a slightly different flavour of homophobia from what you see from a typical Western or Christian perspective

    There’s a half truth there; social norms that stigmatize young boys and girls from socializing with each other up until their teens or young adulthood, then they’re expected to go straight to dating/marriage courtship, do skip over the crucial low-stakes friendship stage. So it puts them in this position where they don’t know how to interact with the opposite sex while being thrown into this high-pressure dating landscape, and that leads to a lot of people failing at courtship and not being able to see partners as friends.

    The homosexuality part is nonsense, obviously. Hell, the prevailing stereotype of gay men is that they always have a good deal of women in their friend group.

    Yeah, at no point did they even insinuate that queer people are a Communist/Jewish/Satanic plot to weaken the white race/Christendom. They pinned the blame on gay people existing on modern society but didn't call for a RETVRN to the 1950s or homesteading
