  At what line do we draw preference and phobia?

    Your preference is posting the image on the left and saying I like this

    Your phobia is posting the picture on the right and saying eww

    Your weird and non funny if you are posting anything about it in a subreddit dedicated to shitposting…

    Like imagine a person posted “what I mean when I say I like dark men” and the picture on the left was an Italian man and the picture on the right was an African man. Wouldn’t you think that is vaguely racist? And wouldn’t you also be really confused why someone randomly posted that here?

      Great comparison actually, you’re allowed to have a preference for light or dark skin, but posting and bragging about it is phobic.

    Realistically? There really isn’t. Even if you “eww” the one on the right it’s still preference. Other people deem it phobic when your preferences exclude theirs. The moment you yuck their yum, then it’s “phobic”.
