I already corrected you, saying it’s not exactly homophobic to use it. It doesn’t turn you into a homophobe. But it does inadvertently support homophobia, in my opinion.
There’s a difference between supporting it (perhaps unknowingly), and actually being homophobic.
Yes? 🤌
And it doesn’t matter how long ago it was.
You think naming your child Adolf Hitler wouldn’t be supporting Nazism? iT wAs sO lOnG aGo?!
naming your child adolf is something you actively did just now
saying using a browser who’s ceo did something 17 years ago that is no longer a danger to the gay community is inadvertently supporting homophobia is different
but it seems like we agree that it’s not actually homophobic, but that comment you quoted earlier did, and there’s fundamentalists like that who do
so i support homophobia by using brave? indeed engaging with any company with a religious person benefiting significantly from that company, is supporting homophobia.
Just to clarify something that has been bothering me for some time, a “religious person” isn’t necessarily homophobic. A “BIGOT religious person” might be—and usually is.
I’ve been religious (Christian Catholic) all my life, very much so in my childhood, and my family is still very involved with church on a daily basis, with my dad being a deacon. None of us is homophobic and never was.
I’m not very knowledgeable in Bible, but I believe Jesus himself (son of God) never ever talked about or against homosexuality in his teachings, but rather he always promoted compassion and tolerance towards everyone. The homophobic bits in the Bible come from people in the culture of the time. Even Jesus’s disciples weren’t perfect, I believe that’s well known.
Extra OT:
Jesus, although promoting peace and tolerance, did famously get mad when a holy place got exploited and turned into a place of trade and commerce (oh the irony! Imagine what he would today…).
He also wasn’t very tolerant of hypocrites, of rich people who advertised their minimal-effort charity acts while looking down at poorer people’s charity donations, of people in power who lacked compassion, and other POS categories like that.
Dude was legit rad. Most self-proclaimed “Christian Bible lovers” will never understand how revolutionary and “communist” he actually was. They’re stuck with some words from common people victim of the culture of the time.
it was a long time ago
And?
so you think it’s still homophobic to use Brave?
You are not very good at keeping up…

So is choosing your browser, and I’m actively choosing not to use Brave, because in my mind, it’s tainted. I don’t care if it was 17 years ago.
We might agree that it’s not being homophobic, but I’m saying that it actually supports homophobia, in my opinion. So I choose not to use it.

In my opinion, yes. Probably not willingly. More inadvertently. You may disagree, that’s your prerogative.
Being religious doesn’t have to mean being homophobic by the way.
fair enough. it was lovely talking to you, and thankyou for being tolerant of my questions
