I mean let’s be clear here, we are taking about a symbol that’s for the backing of the rights of a group of people. There would be large problems for society as a whole if the pendulum swings the other way.

This pendulum refers to virtue signal-ing. Presumably the rights of these groups does not depend on the current fashion or zeitgeist of signaling support via trite visual updates.

These people want it to swing back.

That's why they're down-voting you. That's why they're posturing about not being able to say what they think, because they know what they think won't fly here, yet. Meanwhile, of course, out in the real world, we have right-wing preachers talking about how gay people should be shot, we have half of the political mainstream suddenly accusing LGBT activists of being pedophiles...but we're supposed to believe these guys here that it's just them suddenly being weird and territorial about the icons on their screens

Your ability to deduce the identities of anonymous downvoters and read their minds is simply amazing to me. How can I learn this art?

I find it very amusing you don't even try to respond.

You just condemn the heresy and scream, like all good true believers.

I did appreciate your capering and prancing on command about the conservative Current Thing.

It was a nice illustration of my point.

Is there anything more pathetic than pretending that not being able to argue against something and escaping with "this just further proves my point" is an own? Probably not.

Pedophilia enjoyer.

To answer your question, someone who doesn't realize he's not part of a debate, but just an example in an argument.

Do keep up the histrionics and the half-assed insults as you argue here, though. Those antics will absolutely make people take you seriously.
