(Edit: The first sentence is not a quote of the original, now deleted, comment, merely a restatement of what I believed to be the same underlying sentiment. I might’ve been wrong. Kind of hard to tell.)
“Their sexuality and their conception of gender is different to mine, and I know it’s wrong to mess with kids, therefore they must be a danger to kids.”
“I like ice-cream and I don’t like the idea of punching small children in the street, therefore people who don’t like ice-cream must like punching small children in the street.”
No. They were espousing some unclear but potentially bigoted beliefs that I took to be the sentiment I parodied with the first sentence, but those were not their words. They might have even been going for sarcastic/ironic espousal of the same beliefs, I’m really not sure.
I’ve added an explanation to my original comment to try to avoid any confusion.
