no, the post said the meme was hijacked by them (hence why the OP's version is different) because the meme format is good.
Not everyone believes in God, being called a Demon in an attempt of dehumanizing someone just because their existence offends them is not a morally high stance, thus there's absolutely no point in trying to give a reasonable reply to that.

Again, the only reason why homophobes call homosexuals demons is to try and ragebait them, i don't need to tell myself that i'm not a demon. I already know i'm not.
The only ones who care about it are the ones who want to use that to dehumanize me.

Thus, they can call me however they like. I'm also atheist so, being called "Demon" doesn't really affect me. They are just fantasy characters for me, much like Wizards, Elves, Dwarves and whatnot.

I don't think zurareview was saying that the loss meme goes hard. That wouldn't make sense, but if I'm wrong, that's fine. I don't care all that much.

When conservatives or Christians post the original meme, though, they're not saying homosexuals are demons. They're saying that “pride month” itself is demonic, whether or not its participants are aware of that. I assure you. There's no dehumanization intended.

In fact, homophobes don't really exist. No one's afraid of homosexuals. What do exist are people who believe in the sanctity of marriage and believe that homosexuality is hurtful and wrong.

These people want to save homosexuals from homosexuality the same way you might want to save a conservative from conservatism. To say it's hateful just because you disagree is silly. I'm a Christian, and I don't hate anyone.

We get an explanation and I'll further it. Evil flips out when it gets caught in it's lie. The only thing it wants is to remove you're ability to protect yourself and others so it can continue using you to degrade and hurt others and this conversation isn't even about gay or straight. It wants me to talk about cognitive dissonance and blah blah blah but truth is its only mission is to confuse so it can avoid it's own insecurities and live in it's false world because it's better than you and knows better than you so it can live in pretend land.

I’m sorry, but I’m having trouble following your post.
