If you use queerphobia against others as a way to keep yourself in the closet, then you deserve to get outed.

You can change your (psychological) reaction to everything. All psychological suffering is chosen by yourself and can be stopped if you choose not to suffer.
Of course this is simple, not easy. Almost no one can do it.
Most people I meet don't believe this and hate that I'm saying this.
You should elaborate a bit, I can get two possible interpretations of this - one which I agree should be a more popular opinion, and one which I believe is nonsense and should be made fun of.

That ability to make a choice is itself a result of being in the right time+place and receiving the correct guidance+education.
Like someone who read your comment might look into this and slowly learn to be more resilient, but if that same person doesn't read it, never receives any guidance and has to suffer psychological abuse from those around them, would you really blame them for being the way they are?
Obviously, yep. We are all victims of our circumstances and if you never get in contact with this concept or are not in a mental situation to want to believe it to be true, you're pretty much out of luck.

Why would I post it here? I'd get mass downvoted, only mild unpopular opinions are popular.

What are the "unpopular opinion" rules on Lemmy?
My original understanding from outside Lemmy is you should upvote the truly interesting unpopular opinions for visibility.
For example:
- "I think potato chips are gross" - that is an unpopular opinion and I am truly interested in why you would say that...upvote.
- "Elon Musk makes some good points" - not interesting at all and probably political bullshit trolling...no upvote and a downvote if enabled.

Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic '06) is an absolute gem of a game in its original buggy mess form it released in. The bugs and frustration they cause only add onto the charm.
Also, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM) cartoon is just as good, if not slightly better, than SatAM due to the absolutely goofy atmosphere. Some of the jokes in Adventures were great. Absolutely loved the joke on Sloww Going where they had Tails writing down whatever Sonic said they needed to rebuild a house for a family of sloths and when Sonic goes to look back at what he wrote, it's nonsense and Tails has to remind Sonic that he's only 4½ years old and doesn't know how to write yet.
Saw a video pop up in the incognito mode thing for yt about Tails being a savage and I found a comment that absolutely resonates with why I absolutely LOVE that version of Tails as well and why he's the best version of tails ever. They were saying how his personality really makes him feel like a little kid without a filter. Absolutely the best Tails ever, so I 100% agree with that comment.
A small but notable percentage of low income, low education people are just fuckwits who make terrible decisions. They had access to opportunities, they could have overcome their circumstances with just a little effort but smoking cones and stealing shit was less effort so they did that and these people are a comparable drain on society as the uber rich.
