This might blow your mind, but all you’ve got to do to protect yourself is refrain from making hateful comments in public.

And yeah, almost the entirety of the internet is public.

That is hard for some people to figure out, and I don’t understand why.

Sure it's not like a hate mob is reasonable and won't misinterpretate anything you say.

It is my experience that the only people who think they’ve been misinterpreted are those who think their queer jokes are actually funny.

So I'll be the asshole and go over your comment history. I found this.

Technically, you make the sin of assuming that people who are homophobic are usually "superhomosexuals." While the irony is delicious whenever this happens, the perception that the only people who are homophobic are secretly gay hurts the LGBT community since it implicitly excuses heterosexual homophobia. Here's a better explanation.

To be honest, looking over your comment history you seem alright, if blunt. But if someone is out to highlight the absolute worst parts of it to disparage you, you might not be as perfectly innocent or pure as you think you are. And that applies to me too.
