TBH, while I do understand the sentiment about these 'horrific' threads, this is why maybe something like this doesn't always fall under that rule.
I do think that there is some value in countering a lack of understanding from some people on just how deep rooted and severe the fear and hatred can be. Some people seem to think that these social issues or the concerns of minority groups are overblown.
Maybe sometimes shining a light on the horrible extremes of this way of thinking might crack the empathy door just a bit for those folks? I dunno
As the election shows, all too many conservatives are so indoctrinated that explaining these things does nothing but have an LGBT person or an ally exhaust themselves trying. Like, the people in the comments who are expressing anything less than horror at this aren't people who can be convinced that they are bad people.
