    Chances are, if your $9 before-tip beverage is iced and concocted with an alternative milk, you’re some semblance of queer.

    WTF? How is this shit upvoted? Being sexist or racist for fun is not funny.
    I suppose being not the Onion is fitting, but still…

    I like this one:

      Not just that, but they even get the sexism and racism wrong. It’s suburban, middle-class, straight white women who are supposed to be associated with $9 lattes.

      Not saying you can’t be offended, but they don’t mean ‘you’re some semblance of queer’ in a negative or hurtful way. I read it as ‘queer people are different to the norm, so are people who prefer plant-based milk’. I read their stuff regularly and to me they’ve never come across as sexist or rapist.

        Yeah they’re a super queer friendly publication so it was definitely a tongue in cheek comment. I can see why outside of that context (and in the context of our current awful fucking world) it would be seen differently though.

      I hope they have numbers to back that statement up or else it’s problematic at best. And even if they do have numbers, ugh, not a good look.

      Edit: yeah, seems you just missed a ‘)’

        Worked fine for me, I haven’t edited it, and it still works fine?
        The “)” is absolutely there.
        Hovering your link and mine they are identical.

          Strange

          On my client (summit/android) a closing bracket is missing and the link doesn’t work
