    No, I want people to stop calling everyone they disagree with a nazi/fascist and simply shouting “YOURE A NAZI!” over and over instead of actually having a conversation.

    You guys are doing your absolute best to make terms like nazi and fascist lose all meaning, just like you have already done with transphobe and bigot.

      I pretty much reserve transphobic to posts that express transphobia or support for transphobia demagoguery and political parties.

      Similarly with fascist.

      I don’t understand why transphobic fascists get so upset when their transphobic fascist posts are criticized.

        The issue is when people, probably like yourself, incorrectly call things transphobia and fascism, while excusing your own side for their fascist tendencies (like silencing opposition, controlling narratives on social media, etc).

        99% of what is called “transphobia” and “fascism” online these days is neither.

        Person 1: “Drag queens shouldn’t be allowed to perform sexually charged strip teases for children. It’s inappropriate even if it was a straight white male doing a strip tease and acting that way.”

        Person 2: “Nazi! Fascist! Transphobe!”

          I’d say calling for the eradication of trans people is both transphobic and fascist.
