[Jesus sits on a rock, speaking]
A new command I give you:
Love one another
[an angry character talks back to Jesus]
What if they’re something bad like gay, trans, brown, or communist though?
[Jesus is facepalming on his rock]
I don’t want to be a messiah anymore
still whataboutism. it reduces the relevance of the point of the comic, even though its objectively true that the minorities mentioned in this comic are discriminated against. even if it was the other way around, your comment would still be irrelevant and add nothing to the discussion

i want to learn more about what you think but i dont quite understand your metaphor. could you try to explain what you think another way?

thanks for taking your time to explain. i agree, but i also think its a bit problematic if you expect to be loved back. if, for example, somebody supports trans rights, i think its okay for trans people/the trans community to not like them back. but i think its a really good and healthy attitude to try to maintain bidirectional relationships whenever possible. i also think we should just set ourselves good examples rather than bad examples
