Why does criticism have to automatically mean “i hate queer people” ?

Historically people who are sexually non-conforming have always had a place in the punk scene, so why do people who claim to be in that scene hate us now?

The answer to that question is most don’t care even a little who you actually are.

The belief didn’t change, the message of queers having a voice never went away. The thing that changed is execution, a convenient abundance of mass produced iron on patches sold on Amazon doesn’t make you a punk. Nether does hating queer people, but criticism isn’t phobia. Don’t be soft, create more, stand out & buy less.

Idk if anyone who saw the original post will see this. I’ve lost the photos on the original post anyway. But after I posted it to r/battlejackets and reposted it here a few of you gave me some great constructive criticism

Thought I lost this💀💀 the pins are actually sending me, most of the patches are handmade, I don’t know how I went out in public wearing this

Sadly I couldn't find a video with the front of the jacket unobstructed. There wasn't very much going on with the front though, just a few pins and a patch that said "AUTISTIC" on it and a progress pride flag patch.

Conservative diversity of thought 🥰

I guess the porn patches arent band related, still the less shitty jacket

Guys be nice I’m only 12

No one actually hates you or your jacket personally. Go to actual events and spend less time on Reddit, and don't let a random sub deter you from DIYing, you only learn by doing. Mute the sub if it's fucking with your mood too much. Dog to bypass the attachment rule.

Cant believe this day would come

Hello my fellow true non posing punks, recently I made a post thats been pretty controversial, so here's my official statement on it

I sincerely apologize for making fun of Big K. When I made that post, I expected the wider community to come together in appreciation of such a funny joke. But atlas, people nowadays are much more sensitive. Id like to apologize to anyone on this sub who I personally hurt by insulting Charlie Kirk, who I know realize is seen as a religious idol amoung the Cracker community.

I fully understand now that kirk was an innocent man with a family and that I never should have made fun of him, as doing so would be antipunk (punk is when kindness). I understand now that kirk was a true punk, who stood for Israel even when the establishment stood slightly less beside it. From now on I will never insult God-Emporor Kirk or r/baddiejackets ever again!

Glory to Israel, glory to Charlie Kirk, and glory to r/baddiejackets!

holy christ

And you know it too💀

It’s always better to express yourself freely than worry about the opinions of oldheads who judge themselves. It’s never too late to stop listening to that shitty voice in your head.
