    So boycotting (and suing) cake shops for not making gay marriage cakes… this is any different how?

    the key difference is it’s good for people who refuse to respect basic human rights to be boycotted and socially ostracized for doing so. conservatives, meanwhile, pretty much exclusively do boycotts because they’re mad they can’t restrict other people’s human rights

      You’re attempting to restrict the rights for an artist to choose their art… Somehow that’s different? That’s very delusional thinking. It is literally the same thing. You’re just treating it special because you happen to agree with one and not the other, so you’re refusing to look at it from a neutral standpoint.

      If the left can boycott a cake shop for not wanting to generate art that has certain motifs, then the right 100% should be able to boycott companies for depictions that also have certain motifs.

      This is literally equivalent. And if you’re mad about the right treating you like shit because you harbor the former belief then you shouldn’t be the people push the latter problem on others.
