My signs are removed by most subreddits. Anyone know if where my style of protesting would be welcomed?

Shaming people doesn't make allies, or change anybodies mind. This is not a good way to protest. You want to convince people they were wrong, this ain't it. If you want people to dig their heels in even further, this'll do it fast.
Anyone whose mind hasn't already been changed isn't going to listen to reason. Being more aggressive will inspire some people to be more active than they already are. I don't see the downside here.
And maybe the point isn't to make allies, but to make people who should experience shame actually experience it.
I agree completely. The MAGA fascists should be ashamed and we should normalize shaming bigotry, hate and fascism. So much right wing rhetoric has misused the concept of free speech. What asshole fascists really mean by free speech is the ability to present hate speech without any of the social consequences. I feel like signs like this are the least we could do to stamp out bigotry and hate speech overall.
Seriously, I am so tired of the "Don't say mean things about fascists, you might offend them" bullshit. Be fucking offensive. If they don't want to be offended, they can stop being fucking fascists.
Can't he insult fascists without women and ball garglers catching strays tho?
I'm not seeing where women are singled out here, but I'm with you on the ball-garglers.
"bitches"
Ehhhhh barely, but ok.
