Description

I’ve seen this a few times, where the phrase “Love and Tolerate” is used to imply pony fans who don’t agree with certain ideologies are missing the point of the show or something. It’s not nice!

Half the time I hear this it’s to defend something wretched.
Depends entirely on what that view is. Not all worldviews are created equal, many are awful, and there’s plenty where I feel fine calling it crap.
I’ve seen people unironically say child labor should come back. I’m not going to tolerate that.

Kind of feels like some of the commenters in this thread need some more love and tolerance in their lives.
It’s ok if you don’t agree with the message of the image. But don’t be an asshole to others about it.

I don’t doubt you have serious feelings and opinions on the matter. What Twi is saying is legit too, if a bit trite and vague. It just all… reflects weirdly when the Love and Tolerance PSA is being espoused by a forced-foal-fiddler fan. Your opinions are a-okay but the overall optics are totally odd and off if anyone can crack a simple “I see what you ‘love and tolerate lol’” joke along those lines to undermine this entire thing in an instant. Sure jokes aren’t in the spirit of proper debate and discourse but I’d argue that if all it takes is the right joke (or anything really) poking at the right thing to divert focus/derail your point, then maybe you should try avoiding leaving openings/chances like that - maybe if this were on some sfw account or something? Eh. It’s like getting a “Safe and Responsible Sex” seminar from someone in an ahegao hoodie that somehow let slip that they enjoy fantasizing forcing themselves on others and being forced upon. Their points may be legit but… what the hell? The water is still water but now its been muddied by other things.

This would feel a lot more legit if you didn’t have the username “Lolicoom” which is one thing, and three different versions of Sweetie Belle bound and gagged with her genitals presenting on your page

unfortunately this argument only seems to be said by those advocating hate

It’s crazy how the simple concept of freedom of speech/expression and tolerance is so lost on so many people.
the literal point of these concept is too give people whether that be Capitalist and Communist, Nazis and Racist, Transphobic and LGBT Activist to be able too express there views and opinion without the fear of harm being done too them as long as there not advocating for violence, you are also free to disassociate your self from these people.
And like the post says just because you tolerate the intolerance does not mean you agree with there position, you can choose to disengage or challenge and freely oppose their ideas with good or better ideas this is how you deal with bad or shit ideas open and honest dialogue.
If you can’t handle that means you were never tolerance or liberal.

I think what theyre trying to get across is that the message here is so broad and non specific that something like this is often used by hate groups/bigots to deescalate things by goin “hey hey, what happened to tolerance”
I get what ur probably trying to say but it kinda ends up having no message due to its ambiguity.
Basically love and tolerance is tolerating others differences even if you find it offputting, tolerance is not tolerating intolerance
