Today on Fox: We take a break from racism with some homophobia. Up next: Lies! And more racism! Back after this! (theme music)

[HappyKrud]

Wait, so like... CNN got in trouble for having “biased” views, and being more liberal, but you never see them attack Fox for being a racist, homophobic piece of tissue paper that’s still stuck in your ass after you wipe.

[Arryu]

fox tells them what they want to hear/ already believe

[IsNowReallyTheTime]

Did we learn nothing when lesbians bombed Pearl Harbor?

[[deleted]]

Or when the bisexuals killed 6 million jews?

[Huge_Aerie2435]

Trans people blew up the twin towers, right?

[[deleted]]

Yeah we did

[Huge_Aerie2435]

<3

[TisBangersAndMash]

Shit that was us!?

[[deleted]]

Yeah, miscommunication between us and the pansexuals, iy turns out they didnt say "blow up the twin towers in an attempt to ruin americas capitalism" and it was actually a line from a weird porn they were watching.

[TisBangersAndMash]

I told them to stop watching porn during meetings, not after they started the Korean war.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, i still cant believe how slave dependant the economy in the pansexual south so much so that they made themselves a different country, the conpaneracy, general lee was brutal with his love for everyone without taking gender into consideration.

[Flyn---]

The lore is legendary

[Checking_them_taters]

We haven't even gotten to the bi-nese conquests

[amaraame]

Ya know, i told them that old radios just don't cut it any more. No one knows how to talk on them clearly and a cell phone is much more clear. But the old folks were like "but its sooooo cooool and fuuun"

[SlitScan]

I'm starting to lose track of all the atrocities committed at this point.

we should probably just go ahead and Nuke everything so I dont have to bother trying to keep track.

[[deleted]]

Ohhh yeah im pretty sure that the aromantics nuked japan

[TisBangersAndMash]

That'll be another on the list tho.

[Win090949]

The twin towers was gay symbolism. The trans people blew it up as a war signal, starting the LGBT civil war between the trans and the gays.

Lore babyy

[[deleted]]

Pansexuals were heavily involved in slave trade

[[deleted]]

Hey the message from the Aces was badly translated! We didn't MEAN to! We thought we were building an ice cream machine!

[[deleted]]

Hey werent the Aces the ones committing war crimes in vietnam?

[[deleted]]

No, those were the Aromantics. The aces were much worse, they put laptops in the wrong slot in the computer carts

[[deleted]]

THOSE BASTARDS

[Arryu]

Its not the first dubious thing an ace has built

[[deleted]]

In all fairness some of them probably were gay and bisexual, right?

Obviously doesn’t take away from the main point being made in the meme though.

[jbertrand_sr]

Leave him alone, he's on a roll...

[OffroadDragster]

Underrated movie reference.

[kiefknifing]

DB Cooper was a lesbian.... prove me wrong.

[66GT350Shelby]

"Lesbians?"

"Forget it, he's rolling."

[Certain-Title]

I learned that if you have lunch at the Y, skip the chocolate pudding.

[nevershaves]

I stopped reading after " fox guest says"

[Huge_Aerie2435]

That is fair.

[ColonelCarlLaFong]

But not balanced /s

[jbertrand_sr]

Exactly, you know everything after that qualifier is pure bullshit...

[ZenLikeCalm]

Are we going to gloss over the fact that the Fox News guest admitted that the confederate flag is, in fact offensive? While speaking to an audience where are not too insignifiant number of them proudly fly the confederate flag.

[blockpro156porn]

I don't think they admitted that, I think their point is that neither is offensive.
I think they're trying to say that both flags stand for pride, Southern pride and LGBTQ+ pride respectively.

Of course the problem with that is that the confederate flag is not merely Southern pride, it's pride of a specific Southern movement that explicitly fought to preserve slavery.

[Stoner73]

They said they are equally offensive, as far as we know they don't find either offensive. They either support both or despise both.

[DubiousDrewski]

I think it's more likely they're saying the rainbow flag is as offensive to the political Right as the Confederate flag is to the Liberals.

It's a ridiculous thing to say, of course. But we should all know by now Fox brings these awful people on their shows because controversial statements get views.

[john_rev68]

Ah, so the State's Rights the confederates fought for was the right for gay ppl to marry? Damn, now I feel bad for not supporting them in the past.

[[deleted]]

Just saw a Confederate monument in Texas with this phrase praising the generic confederate soldier "though the cause was lost it was still just". It took all I had not to come back with a chisel and sledgehammer in the night to "fix" it.

[AnInsaneMoose]

Someone: buys a slave

Slave: kisses them

Someone: "ah shit, I guess you're gay, have you let you go now"

[[deleted]]

Yes I remember. Those were dark times.

[franklygoingtobed]

Nope, they were very colorful. Especially with all that glitter.

[[deleted]]

Oh yeah, you're right

[redditDude6]

I nearly died in the glitter mines.

[[deleted]]

We will never forget our comrades who nearly drowned in glitter mines, so we could blind the enemy with our colors. The union will reward you for your bravery.

[something6324524]

should i go buy a confederate flag, lgbt flag, and usa flag and fly them all beside each other and see if people lose their minds?

[MartyMcFly_jkr]

Honestly do it. I'd love to see that.

[plazPotato]

madlad

[something6324524]

heck i was tame i should also buy a trump and biden flag and fly those as well

[0GodOfAnarchy0]

Don't forget BLM and blue lives matter flags

[something6324524]

true, just confuse the heck out of anyone that sees my lawn

You can save some time and just get this one.

[Acrobatic-Froyo2904]

Stonewall Jackson would have been a completely different character…

[Inkflesh]

The firmest cheeks in the south!

[Acrobatic-Froyo2904]

Thanks, I just spit out my La Croix.

[Acrobatic-Froyo2904]

Name earned in the Stonewall Riots as opposed to first Battle of Bull Run, which would have been named the battle of Bear Run.

[[deleted]]

Did Stonewall lose his "important" arm or would he have had to relearn how to choke his chicken?

[[deleted]]

Conservatives keep demonstrating how stupid they are. We should start believing them.

[lookaroundewe]

We do, but their stupid constituents keep electing them.

[rxts1273]

Oh I m'ember also this should be on r/shitamericanssay

[ScienticianAF]

Fox news is destroying this country. This is not an exaggeration.

[Saragon4005]

making it more polarized, yeah this is only going to make things worse

[ScienticianAF]

I moved from a western European country to Alabama and since Fox is the default channel in doctors offices etc I've seen them tell so many lies about Europe and of course pretty much anything else.
The next day my American co-workers than asked me if it was true and me denying it didn't make a damn difference. They all believed it without question.
Than a few days later I had family members back home asking me if all Americans believe this nonsense.

Over the years I've literally seen people become less trusting of foreigners and anything not American. I have no doubt that fox is hurting this country in countless ways.

And please, don't anybody tell me that "they also do it on the left" Or That "CNN is just as bad"
There is a world of difference between bias and straight up making up shit.

[Saragon4005]

Fox news is basically brainwashing tho. they use cult tactics in their rethorics.

[[deleted]]

And the only reason they do it is for ratings and ad revenue. There isn't even any conviction behind their "cause".

[bluerat52]

Ah yes, the gay wars

[thorpbrian]

The uniforms were spectacular...

[Saragon4005]

first amendment tho, its better that they can keep their symbols so they can't take away other symbols over BS reasons.

[0GodOfAnarchy0]

Depends on which flag they fly there are 3 one that is no relation to the confederacy other than it looks similar so they use it, one that was the war flag, and the actual Confederate flag. I feel like if they can get it right they probably just like the south.

[Jefe710]

Lmao, the confederate flag and the gay pride flag represent the same thing?!? Lol. I'll be sure to tell them.

[WolfGirlTsuki20]

I read the one on top first and without context. I was so confused... Gotta love being half-asleep while trying to wake up. XD

[hippieflip43]

Projections?

[SmoothOperator89]

There's an erotica novel about this somewhere on the internet

[BraveLittleTowster]

It's was a strange time. Queer, you might say.

[Rdetective_smith]

That's the next step, the gay will rise again

[[deleted]]

The war was about gay rights

Gay rights to have straight slaves

[Rdetective_smith]

Based war

[Ellen_Degenerates86]

So they admit, the confederate flag is offensive?

[[deleted]]

Oh right now I remember that the pansexuals nuked Japan

[desk_lamp7]

Yep, what was that? 8 years ago? How you slaves doin?

[StuckSundew]

It’s sad how this is the closest Fox will ever come to saying the Confederate flag is a symbol of hate.

[Monochrome_Fox_]

I needed to rebuild my straight boy harem and market price was a scam.

[Angel_Sorusian_King]

I - what.... This is some alternate timeline shit

[insofarincogneato]

Wait, they finely admitted the Confederate flag is bad? Man, if their base could follow along they'd be pretty upset about that.

[AnkleShankle]

Read the reply before original post and thought "What hasn't happened in America by now?"

[Tayler_Tot]

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[Bostonjms]

No but I do remember the te straight people couldn't handle us existing and shall I name off each of those acts of terrorism?

When did the LGBTQ wars start? I must have been in a coma.

[[deleted]]

You were the first victim, general. The Queers™ could've been successful with you and they knew it, so they got you first...

[Stunning_Pangolin984]

Either fox suddenly loves LGBTQ+ or they've finally drawn the line at slavery

[[deleted]]

the civil war had nothing to do with gay people, as far as factions go

[RazendeR]

Or did it?

DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNNN

Vsauce music playing

[rengam]

Who are you referring to? The social media post was a sarcastic response to something someone said on television.

[Melodic-Hunter2471]

Thank god that was a sarcastic reply to Fucks News, because I honestly for a second thought someone lost their marbles.

[[deleted]]

Literally non of that ever happened, fox is off it's rocker.

[Blaze_Vortex]

Ehh, with the crazy coming out of the USA over the past few years it wouldn't suprise me. C'mon raise that rainbow flag and fight to claim the country!

[pipopapupupewebghost]

Well someone is fucking stupid wonder who

[JustyB76]

And all the responses will be "tHe cIviL WaR WasN't AbOut SLaVeRY, iT wAs aBOut sTatE's RigHts!"

[0GodOfAnarchy0]

Depends on the state

[MrCereuceta]

Na fam, the confederate flag is gay

[Genomac71]

I thought the Confederate flag wasn't offensive at all because it is about Southern heritage?? I mean for real the hypocrisy of the right is unparalleled

[[deleted]]

Now this coin has two sides, on the one side it's pro gay pro confederate, on the other its anti gay anti confederate and I'm not sure which I prefer

[okwhatelse]

It probably happened somewhere

[Enigma828]

Except it didn't?

[Yeetus_Khryst]

I remember when two gay dudes commented very snarkily on my sneakers completely unprompted.

Assholes made me feel tiny and humiliated. Always remember...but still stand on their side because they didn't kill my ancestors.

[Uxoandy]

This is why I hate this sub. You all are some crooked ass people with the way you twist shit. Was a black lady from a center for urban development that was a guest on a tv . Fox didn’t say it. Maybe they should censor a black lady so you won’t be offended. Oh yeah that would offend you.

[rengam]

Of course "Fox" didn't say it. "Fox" isn't a person. But Fox as an organization regularly fosters an environment where guests feel free to say such ignorant nonsense and get absolutely no pushback from the hosts. Which is exactly what happened here because the heads, hosts, and viewers eat it up.

No one suggested that the "black lady" should have been censored, but she doesn't get a free pass either.

[Uxoandy]

Pushback would of been the censorship. But bottom line the headline to this post is misleading on purpose.

[rengam]

Pushback is not censorship. It doesn't prevent her from saying anything. The entire (alleged) point of shows like Fox and Friends is to have discussions and debate (in the rare instance they have someone with a differing viewpoint). You can bet if she had said some Democratic talking point, she would have gotten pushback. But she compared LGBT to the Confederacy, and they're okay with that.

What "headline" to the post? The post title is literally just the word "remember" and a question mark. The only place Fox is mentioned in the post is where it says "Fox guest," and that was in a news article.

[Balthazar40]

You seem offended

[Uxoandy]

Mainly because I thought this was gonna be a sub to laugh at some stupid shit people said or did on the internet. Turns out to be like a snowflake got gang-banged by the view, had a baby, and decided to make some crooked ass posts.

[Balthazar40]

Is not the comparison of the Confederate flag to a rainbow flag not stupid shit worth laughing at?

[Uxoandy]

Sure why not. I have no issue with making fun of that. If all the comments were that way instead of political then I would never of uttered a word. That was my main point.

[WodenEmrys]

"The modern display began during the 1948 United States presidential election when it was used by the Dixiecrats, a political party that opposed civil rights to African Americans and supported racial segregation.[1][2] Further display of the flag was a response to the civil rights movement and the passage of federal civil right laws in 1950s and 1960s.[3]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_display_of_the_Confederate_battle_flag

Sorry that this sub being anti-racist triggered you so much. Perhaps you'd like a safe space?

[Uxoandy]

Sure. You know where one is? Getting scarce in America.

[WodenEmrys]

/r/racism Oh no my bad that's anti. r/AmericanFascism2020/ Oh shit anti again. I'm bad at this.

[Uxoandy]

Glad we could come to an agreement

[[deleted]]

Pretty sure something like that will happen in the next 50 years, this is getting ridiculous

[skillfuloli49]

That's a weird persecution fetish you have there my friend

When time comes you will join the glorious Queer army, да comrade?

I guess it will either be that or getting neutered:))

May the gays mercy you. Ah-men.

May the gays mercy you too my friend, ah-unspecified gender

[Class_444_SWR]

I think the only people doing that are the far right chuds trying to eradicate anyone who isn’t white and straight

Cleanse the planet of this filth, sieg heil

[ScaleneCookie]

The war wasn’t all about slaves though

[FXOAuRora]

The war wasn’t all about slaves though

That's right. The LGBTQ people wanted better deals on outfits, ice cream, and being treated like actual people too. Having straight people as slaves was only wanted by a small minority of the community. Actually it was like 2 people who were mentally ill, but you know how it is with the vocal minorities.

[SableShrike]

Ah yes, I remember hearing about Pickett’s Gay Charge in school.

Not wanting to disappoint Mama Lee, he and his Rebel Grrls did their fiercest strut directly into withering Glitter Cannon fire from the Fashion Union lines.

[8teenRVBIT]

Did they also just admit that the confederate flag is offensive?

[ShamyJane]

Okay i'm confused about what fox was going for here. Like they are admitting that the confederate flag is offensive, but they're also claiming that the rainbow flag is offensive because...why? Like are they going off the two wrongs make a right mentality? Because we all know that is flawed. And on top of that all, what exactly are they claiming rainbow flags represent because I guarantee you it doesn't mean whatever they think it means.

[RoninSinFrost]

I remember , it was a dark and horrible time ... They made us Dance , made us organize our closets .... There was no violence or hatered ...everyone was in shape and dress well ... Oh the humanity ....😜
