I'd be all up for an initiative that attempts to burst the liberal bubble which seems to reject the possibility that people have other things to do than follow the latest inclusivity trends online, but come on. You know well what this is about. Had to scroll like 3 posts down to find out that this panders to reactionary clowns[0].

If this were a protest I would expect polemic discourse, yet the "official account" is just throwing shit around and screaming with excitement when someone "gets offended"[1].

Note: If the wrong people take part, abandon ship.

More seriously: I don't care. If Hoecke proclaims the water is healthy, I don't stop drinking water. #Stolzmonat is honestly a good thing especially because everyone can take part. If we now start the game of distancing (and that never stops) we can also just use the old hashtag.

Read the twitter bio of that movement's page and tell me your definition of "everyone" here.

If you don't support Stolzmonat's agenda, then you are probably not welcome - pretty much the same as with Pride. What's the difference then?

Who is not welcome? Wokies? Yeah, if you want to hate on people because of their race, sex, sexual orientation or such, you're likely not welcome. Happy #Stolzmonat.
