No offence, but maybe the internet has had enough of all the Pride™ preaching that's been going on for the past decade. Some people probably saw my thing and they didn't realize it was all a meme.

@BlueCometDude No offence, but 'maybe' certain people with homophobia are 'going out of their way' and actively search for LBTQIA+-friendly submissions and rate them zero because they have absolutely nothing going on in their lives that they can waste their time on this.
Rather than, say... just put "LGBT", "gay", "transgender" and other terms into their blacklist/list of "Tags to Avoid"* like a regular user of sites that host art would do.

Or better yet: Get the fuck off of Newgrounds, because this is not a community such people would like in the first place.

Tell them that if you ever happen to run into one of them, if you would be so kind.

@Yatsufusa, I’m sure the chances of coming across one is next to zero

Besides, if I saw these ratings on some cringy trans rights artwork, I’d be like, “Oh. Maybe I’m wasting my time preaching about something the Western World doesn’t really care about, unlike the Middle East.”

@BlueCometDude It's okay if you weren't listening, but don't then act as if you did.

@Yatsufusa After thinking about it, I think you’re right. I guess there is a group of people on Newgrounds that rads any Pride art purely because they hate the gays or something.

Mine probably got caught in the crossfire of the whole thing; they likely didn’t realize that my piece was a parody of #Pride art.

@BlueCometDude "Sure."
