- actualwitch 3y agoI'm sorry, what? It seems to me the reverse is true, manosphere is mainstream and it rejects anything woke, while even mentioning anything lgbt related on any mainstream platform is enough to get a bunch of people to try to remove it via death threats and false reports.
- kibwen 3y ago> No, it's mainstream pop culture. This is highly dependent on context. In much of the world, it's dangerous to be openly sympathetic to LGBT causes, let alone openly LGBT. Even in much of the US, being openly gay is dangerous, and being openly trans is even more dangerous. A non-binary 16-year-old was murdered in Oklahoma this month; meanwhile, nobody's out here killing Swifties (at least, not yet).
- xcdzvyn 3y ago>murdered That is an utter fabrication. >Police in the Tulsa suburb have not released a cause of death but said this week that the teenager did not die as a result of injuries from the fight.
- bigbillheck 3y agoThey tried to say George Floyd wasn't murdered either.

- harimau777 3y agoI think it's more complicated than that, at least in America. IMHO part of the issue is that America isn't a single culture. There's a big difference between the acceptance of LGBTQ culture between rural vs. urban, coastal vs. south, and pop culture vs. work culture. There's also a major backlash against LGBTQ culture. E.g. I don't think that you can say that it is fully mainstream culture as long as we have the various Don't Say Gay laws and bans on gender affirming care.
