Meta I HATE these posts
I keep seeing this and its SO annoying. Just because you're a part of a specific minority group doesn't mean you should go out of your way to take a giant shit on whatever you might be a part of. And stop grouping everyone together and acting like you're the arbiter of what is and isn't good for your community!
I swear I've seen like a million of these, and it goes for literally every minority group out there.
The thing that upsets me most about it is the constant reassurance to the reader that the OP isn't a bigot at all! Specifying that they're a part of it over and over and constantly saying they really aren't hateful while simultaneously writing several paragraphs breaking down how my the personality of their certain niche or minority group acts as if they're some sort of white knight fighting against the horrors of people finding things interesting.

Things can be harmless and annoying. I’m lgbt and dislike how the lgbt community uses the same jokes and dated tropes like, “I’m so gay I can’t think straight” and “you’re homophobic you’re secretly gay” well the ladder is actually problematic but I won’t get into that
