Don’t you just love it when homophobes are put in their place? Earlier this week, a Twitter user went viral with an edited Spongebob Squarepants meme supposedly demonstrating how Netflix are forcing “unnecessary gay characters” in every new television series. You know, TV that actually reflects reality. Worryingly, the post earned over 135,000 likes and 35,000 […]
Earlier this week, a Twitter user went viral with an edited Spongebob Squarepants meme supposedly demonstrating how Netflix are forcing “unnecessary gay characters” in every new television series. You know, TV that actually reflects reality.
Worryingly, the post earned over 135,000 likes and 35,000 retweets, as well as hundreds of alarming anti-LGBTQ comments and rhetoric such as, “Heterosexuality is what allowed the continuity of the human race. What is normal isn’t forced.”
Also: “If homosexuality was normal could you take every gay person put them on an island and could they continue? Why do gay people need straight people to have kids so they can adopt or any other way they need to have children?”
WARNING: You will feel RAGE at the ridiculous amount of stupidity and ignorance in the below tweets.
Slightest chance y'all get o. Here is to attack Christianity. And homophobia wasn't forced on us we just grew up to the realization that gay isn't normal

I tell you,, you can't see any new movies without a gay character inside,, like they are forcing it down our throat by fire by force..

if homosexuality was normal could you take every gay person put them on an island and could they continue ? Why do gay people need straight people to have kids so they can adopt or any other way they need to have children? Society has said it's ok out of fear.

I don't hate gay people and it has nothing to do with that there's certain things I don't want my kids seeing. I don't let them watch things with straight people being intimate so out of no where, two gay people kiss or something and now I have to explain that.

However, the LGBTQ community and its allies rallied behind each other and tore the tweet to shreds.
“Personally I dislike all the unnecessary straight and cis people,” joked one user, while another wrote: “The same way you people forced heterosexuality down our throats is the same way we’ll force homosexuality down your throats.”

if a straight person is tired of seing one single gay character in a serie, imagine how tired we are of seing dozens of straight character in any other series pic.twitter.com/4zT0BfUgBS

so straight characters are normal but gay characters are unnecessary? the whole point of representation is to normalize it because being gay is normal and so it isn't unnecessary, its important and is no less "necessary" than straight characters

Gay people were always existed, for all of human history.

Christianity and homophobia were forced onto us.

Could've said "We need less pandering and more well written minority characters" but naw you went this route

Now, Netflix have stepped in themselves and honey, they are not here for this homophobia. Like, at all.
The official Twitter account for the streaming service – and we’re not talking about a country-specific account, we mean the big one with 7.8 million followers – quoted the tweet with the most epic of clap backs.
“Sorry you have yet to realize that every gay person is very necessary,” they wrote.
We’re gonna insert that gif for real this time:
Twitter was living. So far, the tweet has received over 560,000 likes and 90,000 retweets – and it’s growing larger by the minute. 135,000 likes and 35,000 retweets doesn’t seem like so much now, does it?

Oh, poor straight people and their lack of representation in the media, right? 🙃
