It counts as evidence of your poor judgement and terrible moral compass. Especially when you espouse other opinions that are toxic trash and are highly correlated to the previous ones.
The benefit of doubt has been long used up on these topics. If you hold these opinions today as an adult you made a concious choice to be a bigot.
Things may have gotten worse, but there was never a time when you could freely say without consequences whatever you thought in whichever social group.
It may have felt like that if you were part of a privileged group and did not stray too far.
The choice isn't automatic: abritinthebay apparently does endorse a hostile interpretation of any speech by people who "hold opinions that have been demonstratably wrong for 40+ years" and "made a concious choice to be a bigot", which I believe makes both comedy and nuance impossible, but at least they're honest about it.
I’m saying demonstratably bad positions will be called out as such.
Doesn’t matter if they are or are from progressive people. So please stuff that strawman somewhere else.
