Anyway, here's you straight up refusing to understand the concept of white privilege:
My genuine reaction to everything you've said:
Have an extremely shitty day, and let's not talk again. I have even less respect for you now that when we've started -- pretty impressive tbh since I started at zero so -- achievement unlocked??, and you've confirmed all my suspicions about you by admitting that you think casual queerphobia is okay and that we queers are just "making a big deal out of nothing."
I can't block your ass because I'm a mod, but I won't be responding in any meaningful way going forward.
Oh no, a comment in another context again interpreted from your US-centric view!
I mean, you think I care about your respect? A person who makes 0 effort in understanding other points of views (quite similar, ironically) and straight up insults and wishes death to others? Lol you are thinking way too much of yourself.
I also stand by every word of that comment, as the concept of white privilege doesn't apply everywhere (Italy has a completely different history and racial dynamic compared to US).
Again, you have a colonialist mindset, and you are completely incapable of accepting that the US cultural lens is not the only lens that exists and that won't apply to many. So tell whatever stories you want to yourself, shout as much as you can, but I am just explaining my views and providing cultural context (which has nothing to do with excusing or defending homophobia). You refuse to accept this context because you think that your perspective is universal. I will repeat it, colonialist mindset.
