I am sorry to hear that, especially since the opposite was intended.
But if minorities want people to not stereotype them, they shouldn’t do so themselves either.
Maybe it’s meant as a joke on people doing that IDK, but very obviously when read without knowing the context, it looks really bad.
My guess is that the people who upvoted me, didn’t know that context either.
Didn’t doubt that and since there is no way of knowing the intentions of the people who up/ downvoted i’m assuming they meant no harm either. Also, it’s not like I always know or understand the context either.

It’s a good thing you call them out on it. If it were some politician arguing on behalf of the diary industry saying ‘people who drink plant-based milk are some semblance of queer’ I’d be upset and would appreciate anyone speaking out so it would definitely speak of double standards if I blamed you on this one.
The reason I decided to write it down was more because I guess it’s good if people (not necessarily you) realise they might not have gotten the vibe it was meant to be read in and think twice the next time. But at the same time I know understanding the context is not an easy thing to get right all the time, not for me at least. So it’s all good.

Cheer up friend, the intentions were good.
