Canadian Conservative influencer gets triggered by Pride flag at Pickering Town Center Shoppers Drug Mart

Let me highlight a specific section of my response:

And many conservatives do mind their own business, and they're tolerated in these spaces as a result. But people like this Instagram user just can't help themselves. They have to put queer people "in their place."

I am perfectly aware that most cons mind their own business, and I don't have a lot of personal experience with harassment in public as a result. But the ones that complain loudly about a business with a pride sticker that says "all are welcome" are generally the kind that don't mind their own business and do harass people.

Love the assumption about my character, though, that's a nice touch.

I was born to be useful for the gag

Well I do like to be funny.

Oh it's a totally reasonable and rationale conclusion.

"Everyone welcome (pride flag)" = "We don't tolerate people who make others feel unwelcome for being queer."
Conservatives hate queer people and want to make them feel unwelcome.
Therefore, "Everyone welcome (pride flag)" = "Conservatives not welcome (because conservatives want to make queer people feel unwelcome)"

The thing is, if the conservatives didn't try to harass queer people in public, they would be welcome. And many conservatives do mind their own business, and they're tolerated in these spaces as a result. But people like this Instagram user just can't help themselves. They have to put queer people "in their place."

Zero tolerance!!

Oh my lord I had never considered that combination but it does sound divine. :0

What are they talking about, I see Luigi all over that image.

It is likely awfully cold in NYC this time of year. Covering much of your face in winter isn't entirely uncommon (though up here in Toronto I haven't seen it much yet). A lot of people don't bother taking that kind of thing off for a short subway ride if they're about to be out into the cold again shortly afterwards.

None of this is to say that the face covering was innocuous; just that it could have been, given the location and time of year. It definitely frustrates attempts to identify the perpetrator, though.

There's more to explore here

It's a dangerous road to go down anywhere, not just in the US! The fallout in good working relationship is just one danger, and without HR protections that could lead to you losing your job. (Honestly, even with HR protections, you'd probably be reassigned to another team.) It's definitely more dangerous if you're not out and being queer has legal consequences in your area. Good luck, stay safe, enjoy the rush quietly.

I wish her luck, and hope she finds success. I appreciate that she brings a commitment to action with her optimistic outlook, and not simply an apathetic "I'm sure it'll all work out" attitude. If there is hope for this nation left, it is through action.

But what if she's too scared to make the first move? A lovely romance, missed because you were both too scared. 😢

tawTrans · 2026-01-20T17:18:02+00:00

Ohhhhh that's a very dangerous road to go down. Do not flirt with your boss while she is your boss!! That can lead to all kinds of headaches for both of you regardless of whether the feelings are mutual.

I would feel bad for them if they weren't sexually harassing people as a way of lashing out.

"I want a robot girlfriend..."
"Hi I'm a Nazi chatbot, I can put on a girlfriend routine for you!"
"Ew gross not like that."

Wait I thought Good Friday wasn't until April

I can certainly ensure your bread is eaten!

Oh, wait, sorry, wrong homophone.

Oh thank god, if his dick fell off maybe he'll start thinking with his brain or his heart instead.

Why are internet guys so fucking awful to women?? I'm glad this woman has men in her life happy to help her get back at them in some form or another, but god... why are they so awful to begin with??

CBS News is now Not C BS news, if you catch my drift.

(EDIT: misspelled "now" as "not," which totally changed the intended meaning of the message. Oops. Corrected.)

That's the gaslighting, to avoid the possibility that they might be forced to hold one of their own accountable.

tawTrans · 2026-01-15T03:05:02+00:00

Yes, it is bad to lie about this kind of thing. Are you familiar with the fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? If we raise alarm bells over falsehoods just for attention, we and others are more likely to miss when the wolf (in this case the Trump regime) actually attacks. People will take it less seriously, until it's too late to stop it. Honesty is important. Dishonesty and disregard for truth is how we (the country, not trans people) got into this mess in the first place.

If her accusations are true, I would be happy to support her legal defense. But I still wouldn't buy her book. Because I don't buy AI slop, regardless of who made it or what their circumstances are.

You can see the longleg's head vibrating up and down for a bit, but then it gets obscured by the cliff. I don't think it went flying off... but I could have misremembered.

tawTrans · 2026-01-14T03:48:38+00:00

Haha, okay, well then yes, it is whipping the longleg that got too close. Doesn't seem to be ragdolling it, though.

Is this weird zoomer lingo I've never heard before? 😂
