Top 10 Things People Should Accept, Even Though Many Don't

The Top Ten
1 Homosexuality

Okay, I am honestly not lesbian at all, so I may not be the very best person to speak on this subject but hear me out: why can't you accept homosexuality? Scientifically, it's 100% natural. Why should someone else's love an happiness have ANYTHING to do with you? The person they love of their same gender is the most special and spectacular person in the world to them. They would do anything for each other. So how do you think it makes them feel when you go around disrespecting these people? I know a young woman who is lesbian, and she is seriously the smartest, sweetest, most awesome person to be around. So why don't you homophobic human organisms shut up and stop making fun of people and judging them because the love of their life is the same gender as them. Did I make myself clear? Because my fingers are staring to hurt from angry typing. And if you read this entire thing, you're sweet.

Religion was meant to bring people together but I think too often it is used as a wedge. Many Christians look at Romans 1 and use it as a weapon to decry homosexuality. I am a Christian, male, and have been married (to a woman) for 14 years, so I am obviously "straight". However, I refuse to use my Bible as a weapon to criticize the way someone else lives their life. God made us all different. Some of us have dark skin, some light. Some have brown eyes, some blue. Some have blond hair, some red or black. Some like the opposite sex, some like the same sex. Why would it be sinful for someone to love the sex they were made by God to love? Sorry but I don't believe anyone would "choose" to be homosexual or transgender with all the discrimination and crap they have to put up with. I just don't buy it. I try to love everybody whether they are my religion or not. Being human, I don't always succeed. But I always try. That, above all else, is what Jesus Christ teaches me to do.

There are Christian homophobes out there, giving us and our religion bad names. Homosexuality is a sin in our religion, but we shouldn't bash on gay people and force them to turn to God and Christian ways! First off, it is said we Christians must love one another, and be peaceful. Second, we believe God gave us free will. So humans can do whatever they want. If we shove our beliefs down the homosexuals' throats, that would be going against the free will from God.

Why are homosexuals so hated? Like, what have they ever done to y'all? Wave at you and smile while walking down the street, which might I add, is something that anyone can do regardless of orientation? Really, homosexuals are no different than heterosexuals in every way but one- we like people of the same sex. We're not mindless animals or monsters that will try to make you one of us. We're just people.

2 People of a Different Race

What is different race? Whites are "the race" but Asians are the majority. (Most) Whites don't accept blacks but blacks accept whites. How?

I despize racists. Even if everybody would be blue, I'm sure that racism would still exist. It would the light blue and the dark blue.

Why should color of skin matter? Would you hate someone for having blonde hair or green eyes?

I accept other races. I am not racist at all. I don't judge someone because of their so called "color". Screw racism

3 Religion

I only hate it when it's shoved down my throat. I am an atheist and I'm perfectly happy with that. But in a Christian city, where people gather around the flagpole to pray, it's not widely accepted. But I don't care. You have your views and I have mine. I don't shove my beliefs down your throat so don't shove yours down mine.

As a Christian I have to accept that other are not, but I have a very diverse friend groups with a Mormon Christian, 2 Protestant Christians, 2 Atheists, 2 Muslims, and a Buddhist (Zen to be exact).

If I could wish something, I'd wish that evolution and creationism could co-exist, and that there would be no more religious wars. No one should die because of their beliefs.

I think all religions (excluding cults, such as Scientology) have something to offer. They are interesting and I respect them all. (and yes I am a Christian)

4 Atheism

People say atheists need to respect religion more, when in my a school a girl literally went around saying: "Isn't it that atheists are really dumb? ", and nobody raised a finger; if I'd gone around saying: "Isn't it that Muslims are really dumb", I would've probably gotten suspended!

I am a Christian, but I believe that Atheism does not mean disrespecting Christianity and other religions. Some atheists may not be nice like PositronWildhawk, but that does not mean that you got the right to make a list of reasons to hate atheists.

I respect atheism, but I'd prefer if more atheists could accept that not all Christians are dumb. Many of us have accepted evolution and have no problem with science. The person who suggested the theory of the Big Bang was a Catholic priest.

I am non-religious, but find that these days, it is far more common for Atheists to needlessly interject and argue in favor of their viewpoint during a conversation than for a religious person to do so.

5 Different Opinions

I respect different opinions, but I do respect them more if they give a reason why they feel the way they do. I also think if a statement is given on here as a fact and it is just an opinion or is outright false, I need to point that out. There is so much misinformation going around these days it's incredible, and that's a particularly dangerous thing in an election year. The future of my country is at stake.

Some people ; even on this site, don't respect different opinions. It's awful. At least don't make a big argument about it and keep it to yourself, at least.

This is so true. Just because you like Twenty One Pilots, but your friend likes One Direction doesn't mean you have to burn them at the stake...

Everybody thinks about everything differently, so there are more than infinity options for everyone.

6 Reality

Yeah, as a delusional freak who is ignored and misunderstood by everyone, I find reality monotonous. I live in my head. I know that's not good for me, but I have no idea how to come out of my delusional states. Once I'm in my head, I'm overpowered by imagination and hallucination.

Accepting Reality is hard for me... It's a boring place to live, despite the fact I live in this boring place...

NO. I will live inside of my mind, where everything is perfect.

This is important. Without reality, we all live dangerous lies.

7 Bisexuality, Pansexuality, and Asexuality Exist

Yes I'm pansexual
No I'm not mentally ill
No I'm not a special snowflake
No I'm not begging for attention
Yes I am ME!

And you are someone who will NOT tell me how to live my life!

Thank you. I'm tired of all these idiots that say stuff like "Asexuality isn't real you just haven't found the right person yet".

I'm an asexual person and I know bisexual and pansexual people online, so I know that it exists.

I love stick figures.

8 The Obese

I think when they're saying accept obese, they're not saying that it's okay to be unhealthy, they're saying treat them as people as well and not some kind of thing that you can catch a disease from, because they're human too.

There's a lot of people who gained weight do to health problems, and physical disability. Not all of them are lazy, have bad eating choices, or eating too much. Just like there are some thin people who can't gain weight.

I hate it that we live in a Society that makes big people feel less than human for how they are, and when they try to change, there are still people shaming and making fun of them when they're trying to be healthy.

People not accepting obesity technically makes sense since it is a health problem. We can accept obesity, and people who are willing to burn fat, but not to the point where it becomes "fat pride"; I don't really think that staying obese should be encouraged. Yes, being obese is associated with health risks but that doesn't really mean we should directly body shame them either or treat them as "subhumans", but at least encourage them to become more active.

I'm the most gluttonous, lazy, and unhealthy person you will ever meet, I just don't look like it. You don't know what disease-mentally or physically-they may have. You don't know their relationship with food, you don't know anything about them, and you don't know anything about someone who is thin either! They're not "wastes of oxygen", band assuming their gluttonous sloths is an awful way to generalize...

Really? Every obese peeps needed to be accepted, I mean they eat everything someone worked hard for, and also, if a relative is obese, you need to accept someone from your family but not the others?! Wish they need to accepted by those negative peeps aka slim girls and boys

9 Not Everyone, Real or Fictional, Needs to Be Paired Off/Have a Love Interest

And that goes for pairing them with anyone of ANY gender.

Not everything (Cartoons, Anime, Movies, Video Games, etc) needs a pairing

10 Bronies A brony is an adult male fan of the Hasbro animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The fandom gained enormous popularity during the 2010s.

Ok, so maybe some of us aren't really good people (I'm mainly talking about those who shove my little pony into other people's throats) but that's only a small portion of the fandom. I hate it when people hate on the fandom as a whole. you are allowed to dislike the show, but you are not allowed to disrespect the fandom.

I only will accept bronies if they aren't infatuated with a horse and dress up like one. You can like the show, but a 35-year-old man dressing up as a pastel-coloured horse is just creepy.

I do not mind them at the slightest unless they are rabid/attacking others/me.

They want to get rid of them. Why can't they just accept them?

The Contenders
11 Not All Anime is Bad

I just don't like anime. It's not my thing

Well all the shows I watched are.

12 Both Genders Are Equal

I get so offended when the boys at my school say that they are better than girls. I am friends with the boys, and I know they don't personally aim it at me, but it's still very annoying and offending.

What's worse is that the girls try and get back at them with the same thing. 'Girls are better than boys' THAT WON'T HELP!

There's this ass named Jello Lala on YouTube, and claims that "women are stronger than men". No. We're equal.

Agreed, and those people who claim there are a billion genders yet only some deserve equality...

Huh, first opinion on here is mine. Anyway, YEESS! I'm a feminist/egalitarian, and I have to say this is 100% true. No one has told me I throw like a girl (they say I throw like a boy), but someone has told me I catch like a girl... WHICH WAS TODAY!

13 Homeless

Man, it's 2016 now that I commented. I hope you found yourself a good shelter and a family. If not, I still hope you're active or somethin'.

I'm a homeless man at the library.. I lost everything in 2007. I am the same caring good hearted man just without a house

Nobody should be judged by what they have or do not have. We should help the homeless, not marginalise them!

14 There's not just one person who disagrees with them or the majority

People, there's like 7 bil people in this world...
And I was never the only one hating cancerous games..

15 Autistic People

First of all, the word 'autistic' is widely considered offensive, as many of us now preferred to be simply known as 'people with autism'. Secondly, I really don't feel like exaggerating when I say that a widely held belief is that autism is simply a medical term for 'stupid'. It's not. Some even say Einstein may have had it.

Yup. I'm autistic and I was bullied a lot for it. Why can't people just respect autism? It still doesn't happen these days. I actually don't like how those people react to people with autism.

I'm autistic and people laugh at me all because of that. They ALWAYS have to bring that up.

I am autistic and people would tease me and laugh at me and exclude me for it.

16 People Who 'Sin'/Commit Crimes/etc.

Well, people have a reason for everything they do. If someone is mentally sick, I guess that's understandable, but if they're not, then try find a reason for it, maybe you'll figure it out

Every people make mistake and those who were discriminated for life, The judge may delete some years and give them parole if they don't have chance for parole.

Wait; I have to accept people who commit crimes?
That would be extremely stupid and won't be happening.

Hate the action and the thought. You'd just hate the person for that. Not because of who he/she is.

17 Not everyone who disagrees with a popular opinion or one's own opinion is a troll
18 New Forms of Government

Like what? Every possible government has been tried. Communism, Socialism, Fascisme, National Socialism, Democracy, Anarchy ( it's a form of government without a government and has been tried in Spain before the Franco regime. Also many books with theories has been written about Anarchy but people still thinks that Anarchy means " no order ". It's not! ), Liberalism, Neo-Liberalism, Theocraty, Oligarchy etc... None of them is perfect, the one worse than the other or better than the other but no government that has been tried or that is has suceed. Why? Because humans aren't perfect and precarious plus the fact that corruption is a common vice seen by those who are in charge of power to govern people ( certainly when capitalism is involved in its power ).

19 Single Moms

These women deserve respect. It's hard enough to raise kids as is, but doing it alone? Seriously, respect these women.

My mom is a single mother, and I visit my dad or he visits me like 3 times a year (sometimes 2 or 4)

20 You Are Not "Owed" Anything

Does that include corporations?

Want something? Work for it.

21 Emos/Suicidals

I agree so much, I have made the call to the suicide hotline before and it is rather scary, but people make fun of my scars and call me emo. I also agree with religion, I am Pagan and I told someone, they called me an evil witch and told me they wished it was still the Salem Witch Trials so I could burn. That actually was a thing that started my depression and suicidal thoughts. This one kid asked me if I cut myself when he saw my scars and I lied and said no. Two weeks later, I loozed at him in class and he made cutting gestures on his arm and laughed. I wanted to punch that idiot.

If you are in crisis, please call a suicide hotline to try and get help although it didn't do crap for me. :(

I think that instead of people looking at someone who is emo or suicidal and say "let them do whatever they want. It's there life" that people should start to try and help these people who are going through emotional problems. They shouldn't be excepted as someone who is going to kill himself one day or another. They should be known as someone who need therapy help to get them through whatever situation there in.

Even if I called my friend's mom after I caught her slicing up herself, mom cared for her more than usual and now my friend literally hates me for telling her. And now...she sees me and everyone as an enemy.

People committing suicide take out innocent bystanders all the time, sometimes several of them, and boneheads committing "suicide by cop" also ruin the life of the cop who is forced to shoot them.

22 There are people who don't like discussing politics or getting caught up in sociopolitical turmoil, and they don't need to do so no matter how much anyone insists otherwise

Unfortunately, the movie, T.V., and game industry missed this memo

23 Fans and the Fanboys Are Not the Same Thing
24 Bronies Are Not All the Same
25 Pegasisters

Just like bronies
