Based on their evo-psych bullshit that they also use to oppress women tbh.

Apropo of nothing, but are atheists the new GG? I've been hearing the "Atheists are scum because X" narrative a lot recently,

I think GG were the new atheists and we've just swung back to atheists

Nah, they were the internet's punching bag before gamergate. Somehow basement dwellers, misogynists, fedora wearers, and atheists got rolled up into some weird stereotype.

that's mysterious as shit and i have no idea how it could have happened

guess it's just a fucking mystery. not at all because there's substantial overlap in those groups. there's no way we could speculate on that.

(also a reminder that whenever someone uses 'atheist' in this way, they mean a very specific subset of atheists) (which may not be polite or correct but it's important to understand how it's factually used)

I was never under the impression that this was about atheists as a whole. It's about homophobes who happen to be atheists as opposed to homophobes who are religious.

My comment was only about the former group, and their ilk (the "evo-psych" thing applies to many MRA types as well, for example).

Yeah, totally.

I commented above about stupid fucking atheists into ev psych shit, and I am a lifelong atheist. Some of the way some of them act like atheism is a fucking gold-plated licence to be a bigot is infuriating.

What's extra frustrating about it to me is that evolutionary psychology, as a subset of evolutionary biology, is actually really interesting and not without its merits. It gets bad when people use it to make gross generalizations and excuse bigotry and vile behavior. :/ and that makes me sad.
