Reputation of Jewish people?

Torvalds has a great character and is humble, though because of his “straightforward” personality he has a reputation of being hotheaded and arrogant. For example: Torvalds: I want to be nice, and curse less, but it's just not in me
Please don’t tell me you wear adidas (founded by a Nazi), or drive a Ford (made by an antisemite), or listen to Wagner, (a racist), or drive a Volkswagen, or play Minecraft, or use wix, or eat at Chick-fil-A, or…etc etc
The comment doesn’t contradict itself. It explains the importance of relationships with coworkers, and then establishes common ground with you as a fellow introvert who works from home. They never claimed to be chatting it up in the office.
My advice to answer your question is to keep up this exact attitude, though.
I see your point, it’s certainly valid, (albeit very sassy haha). I’m not concerned about bigotry or targeting certain identities, but thank you for the explanation. To bring things back to the original point, many far-left individuals are enabling the homophobia of Muslims by brushing any criticism of such beliefs as Islamophobia and incorrectly viewing Muslim Americans as liberals, as was the case in some of the links I sent and in many people I’ve spoken with. This is unfortunately indirectly bigoted toward those of the lgbtq population.
Also, to respond to your question, no I don’t have any questions, but thank you. And I appreciate the dialogue so far, always pleasant to interact with others and hear different opinions.
Though you asked for sources, no liberal source will say “here’s how we are inconsistent in our beliefs”. Besides, Hamtramck, Michigan, voting for Muslim council members expecting a liberal government and feeling betrayed at anti-lgbtq policies is one example of the double standard. As a liberal gay individual in the us, I am applauded by liberals when criticizing Christianity’s effect on the lgbt community, but am called Islamophobic or intolerant for the same rhetoric with Islam, regardless of how respectful or courteous I am of believers. I will never be called “Christophobic”, however. Pretending a problem doesn’t exist will never fix that problem, and if we want a country that provides safety for homosexual individuals we should pay attention to how we align our beliefs.
Ah, my image did not upload. I guess that’s more lemmy jankiness for you. The same exact convo is in the description for you to read, however.
Feel free to ask chatgpt the same prompts yourself or have a friend do it, I did not perform an opaque study, just a fun chatgpt test, so no need to provide a source, anyone is free to test what I did. Also, ChatGPT being accessible to all means there is no need to take my word for it.
As for sources on how American liberals collectively give Islam a pass, here is some reading:

What irony be this, that in my earnest endeavor to illuminate the virtues of civility, my words were misconstrued as mere jest, my wit mistaken for malice. How swiftly the great reddit mods strike, casting me into the shadows of banishment. My intent was pure, my purpose noble, yet my words lost their essence, I was reduced to but a troll. They called me a troll! Oh, the indignity! A troll they called me!
