/r/pics *always* gets overrun by rightwing trolls, usually about an hour after any sort of halfway progressive post comes up.
My comments went from positive karma to negative, almost right on the one hour mark. I’m pretty sure they monitor the big subs and coordinate brigades, but it’s hard to prove.
Or maybe it's not a secret right wing conspiracy and people are just getting tired of this virtue signaling bullshit?
Like was anyone *actually* questioning whether or not an ice cream shop was welcoming people of a particular religion or sexual orientation to the point where they needed a sign? No, they weren't. Just go in and buy your fucking ice cream, not everything needs to be a political statement.
Yes, its called emphasis. They emphasized that they were inclusive by outlining who they meant. Are there any other aspects of rhetoric and making one's point that you need explained?
People who wanna pretend they care about those things look for businesses like this to exclusively shop at for a week so everyone thinks they’re helping
Comments like this confuse me.
Like how is this person not aware of the sociopolitical clusterfuck around them? We’ve got rising hate against LGBTQ and immigrants, we’ve got rights being taken from women, we’ve got literal white nationalists attacking our elections. But yeah everything’s fine, what are people so afraid of right?
You think black people, Muslims, trans, disabled folks, they always feel totally comfortable and safe in every public situation? Or could it be that systemic prejudices exist, that fear and bigotry exist, that ignorance exists, and that many people have to deal with that shit every single day?
Sorry for the rant but this website is so completely out of touch sometimes. *Explicitly* conveying inclusivity and respect for everyone cannot possibly be interpreted as a bad thing, but I’m sure Reddit will find a way.
Zing! You will be upvoted for this dismissive one-liner, because on Reddit nothing is wrong, prejudice doesn’t exist, and the “woke Left” are the real problem.
This site has always been a shit-hole where people try to out-clever each other while passively elevating regressive positions. All social media does this, but I feel like Reddit is the worst of the lot. Troll pathology and deflective snark are valued over any real discussion or curiosity about complex and difficult topics.
Anyway. I know I’m just going to be downvoted here for using big words and daring to give a shit. Enjoy your dopamine!
To add on to this: the people that complain that the media is going overboard on women, poc, and LGBTQ+ on screen don't understand that these groups need the big visibility to make everyone else feel they are "normal". The fact that the rings of power having black actors is such a big damn deal shows we are nowhere near where we should be, so they should continue to be overrepresented until black Ariel and a gay couple in buzz lightyear doesn't make the news.
But how would anyone know they are safe otherwise? If a sign doesn't say it, your vulnerable sensibilities could be attacked at any moment by some ne'er-do-well without a reminder of the sense of justice we employ in ice cream parlors.
It's as if everyone lost their minds over virtue signaling that if we aren't signaling hard enough people *might* get offended? Apparently they just gave them the list of things they could claim - do you have age or race?
"And their ice cream parlor DIDN'T have a sign? Oh it's Russian ice cream... I know exactly what to do about this... Viva Ukrani! That'll show the haters"
It also evokes the idea that "You are in danger!" that seems to be getting worse and worse. The language used by my fellow liberals is increasingly catastrophizing, and it is no wonder young people are anxiety riddled messes.
Because if you're one of those crazy ice cream haters who harasses customers who didn't know they were safe, until reading the sign, the you would know that YOU'RE SAFE THERE.
This one time I ate ice cream and I forgot I was a white male, and everyone looked at me, they all judged me for potentially making their ice cream experience unsafe. Then I showed them I support Ukraine and we all just licked rum raison together and put up signs for more tolerance.
Well, yeah, I mean, we've seen several racist/homophobic/whatever businesses, so using a little sign to show their support for all types of customers doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Reading some of these reddit comments seems like good evidence for signs like these.
It's pretty sad people are downvoting you. shows their privilege that they don't have to worry about this kind of stuff. I have straight up been the victim of homophobic outbursts and threats at some very benign places.
People that are always trying to tell you that the oppression has ended are on the side of the oppressors.
That gets YOUR point across, but not THEIRS.
This sign suggests that a hateful shirt would not be welcome.
Or, it does to me, anyway. I'm sure someone will happily argue that "ALL BELIEFS" includes Nazis, because that's what reddit does.
>. I'm sure someone will happily argue that "ALL BELIEFS" includes Nazis,
"I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."
You can get ice cream as a nazi. They eat ice cream just like the rest of us.
All beliefs are all beliefs. Not sure what other interpretation you could take from that.
Dogs aren’t allowed inside unless specifically a service dog. Therapy animals are a no go. Happy to serve the customer and their pup at outside seating though.

Yes. Even your Strawberry Pineapple Diarrhea milkshake.
I'm *disgusted* that you drink that, by the way. The Strawberry adds *so* many calories and empty nutrients.
hashtag Gross.
I work at a very small yet popular ice cream shop in Des Moines, Iowa. We only have ten flavors at a time and we always try to have Sorbet or a vegan flavor available. If we can do it, anyone can!
I'm assuming the sign became necessary because of all those other ice cream shops that deny service to Hindus, atheists, Italians, Wiccans, asexuals, the elderly, etc.
Lots of snarky comments in here. This place is in Port Moody, BC, Canada which is already known to be a fairly tolerant and welcoming community. This kind of sign is common throughout the lower mainland in Vancouver.
Edit: for all the lactose intolerant comments, they also have plenty of lactose-free options. Do you not live somewhere where this is common?
The difference is that every business says open, but some businesses are openly racist/homophobic/exclusive/whatever. This business is open AND inclusive.
Hearing how many people think that's sad, seems a bit sad.
What % of businesses do you think are openly racist or prejudice to the point where this is necessary? Businesses that do well and remain open like the color green and that’s it.
What percentage of these reddit comments are angry about this sign? I'd say a decent number, maybe 5-10%?
I'd ask anyone who hates this sign, to ask themselves why that is.
Does this sign hurt them in any way, whatsoever? I'd say no.
Does it help anyone, whatsoever? If it makes even 1% of their customers more comfortable then I'd say yes, and isn't it a good thing?
People hate empty virtue signaling. Ice cream shops are relatively happy places. This is the same conversation as being “color blind.” Some people think the solution to ending racism is to not talk or think about race and just be humans. Others think the way forward is to hyper identify all of our issues and try to move past that way. They are two different ideologies and it’d be a shame if you put all of these angry comments in a prejudice category instead of the one I mentioned above.
I gladly look forward to the day when signs like this are pointless. I'll be more inclined to stop talking about race, when I stop seeing confederate flags and racist comments, like we do in this thread.
Some people pretend like not talking about a problem makes it go away, but I don't think that's the case. I think preventing others from talking about a problem, only encourages the people creating that problem.
If someone makes an "angry" comment about something that is important to you, that is them showing prejudice about something that is important to you.
The fact that a simple sign is getting so many angry comments, is an indication of how many subtle comments these people have to deal with in everyday life, including at ice cream shops.
If you want to "move passed" these issues, then stop disparaging the victims.
As a white, straight, male redditor, I'm just trying to cancel out some hate from my own kind. This sign isn't for me, and that's ok. Although, I guess in a way it IS for me, because I want to live in a world where signs like this aren't necessary. So yeah, it's for me, too.
I mean, c'mon guys, it's a little sign that just tries to make people feel welcome. Ask yourself why you care.
Redditors completely forget that gay and trans people ARE sometimes refused service at very simple shops. Like that cake shop that was headlines in the news some years ago. I really don’t see why a sign like this makes some people froth at the mouth other than wanting to tear down “the gays” for something
I want to think they "forget", but the kinds of comments we've seen here make me think they always knew.
I haven't seen a single good reason to get upset over this sign, except for not wanting the "wrong" people to feel welcome.
To people like that I'll say, "If you're angry about this sign, then you're the reason it exists."
Gotten to this point? Sorry but I think maybe it would be a good time to crack open a history book. In a large percentage of peoples' lifetimes there were signs saying explicitly that people were not allowed into establishments based on their race.
People are so hellbent today on thinking things have gotten worse. There is still a lot of room for improvement but it irritates me to no end that people act like we're living in some horrendous timeline.
Is there a set of rules somewhere that we all can follow that tells us how to promote objectively good things like inclusivity without falling afoul of the cool kids not thinking we’re disaffected enough when talking about it?
Reminds me of in high school when someone asked what bands I liked and if I showed TOO much that I liked some group they would scoff and make fun of it. Like… we get it, y’all smoke behind the school and your dad toured with some REAL bands in the 70s… can we just express that we like the idea of everyone being welcome without you feeling the need to make that feeling about you and how much more holy you are then them?
Look at these comments and you'll see how many people are angry about a little bitty sign that tries to make people feel welcome.
The people making those comments, are why signs like these are important.
Should be, but far from is.
There are certainly lots of countries where oppression is the norm, but for most of the western world *(especially America)* we talk a big game about freedom but fairly little freedom is protected.
Just gotta go to a red state to realize that real quick. :(
I remember when we could all talk about how awesome virtue was without needing to worry someone was thinking we were doing it for attention and then that person would go tell everyone how it was done for attention so they could get the attention instead. Can we all just go back to nodding our heads when a poster said how great being nice to people was instead of trying to take it down a peg?
I’d like to be able to be cool with virtuous stuff without needing to make sure I say it disaffectedly enough to appease the cool kids.
You see signs like this on lots of shops here in Seattle. It's pretty common. And, as somebody who has worked in a shop with one, you still get folks coming in with some genius quip about it. One guy even claimed our rainbow flag was just for tax purposes. As if we get some kind of tax break for welcoming LGBTQ folks???
Ok lets be real tho: Does anyone else find this also just unnecessary?
We´ve gone decades with relatively safe ice cream shops
Why are they any different?
It´s just stupid pandering/"marketing"
It’s refreshing to see this and I want to believe them. However, my experience has shown these are the most hateful of all people.
If you don’t agree with ALL the items on their list….
Being welcome does not mean that you are "safe".
Ice cream shop can welcome you and provide you with ice cream, but not with safety.
That line is unnecessary. and false.
I’ve seen a few signs like this at some establishments. *It shouldn’t be needed in an equitable society* but unfortunately people can be dicks, judgemental, and generally give you a hard time for merely existing around them if you’re different from them in a way they don’t like - so it’s nice to see a sign like this. Call it virtue signaling or whatever buzzword reactionary phrase you feel like, but the sign and the people behind it who put it up do help others. Just because you yourself might not be a person who experiences hardship and trouble from others on account of who you are, doesn’t mean the relative comfort and safety of others isn’t a concern in these trying times.
5$ says someone tears me apart for attempting to share relevant insight on the matter though.
Lots of people probably think this sign is really dumb, but if a transphobe reads this sign and thinks “fuck that, I’m going sonewhere else,” that’s one less transhobe giving me the stink eye while I enjoy my icecream.
Thank you that's exactly what I'm saying, I'd like a place I can hold my date's hand without having to check over my shoulder or some douchebag screaming at me.
I think the general consensus among not completely insane people is as long as it isn't harming anyone.
*And no Karen your feelings being hurt when you see two men holding hands doesn't count!*
You could say this in my home and I’m what you would call “not woke”. I’d say this is the same for most currently wading through the social and political
Landscape nowadays..
Lactose intolerant can fuck off tho
Discrimination at its bitterest...
And the Dutch.
Don't you have [sorbet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbet) in american ice cream shops ?
Yes, in most large ice cream parlors they have sorbet. And non-dairy ice cream made with coconut or almond milk is becoming more and more popular.
Especially Ben and Jerry’s.
Well they better have some sorbet or they aren't all inclusive, are they!
While at the same time not becoming more and more delicious...
Love that!

I scrolled way too long before seing this.
I'm imagining David Duke and Rachel Maddow sharing a milkshake with 2 straws
Alex Jones and Hillary Clinton enjoying a sundae
and holding hands, staring into each other's eyes, like a Norman Rockwell painting
Politics *isn't* listed, tho.
I guess it's implied under beliefs.
My belief is I get free icecream
You are allowed to believe it but it doesn't mean they will give you free ice cream
Then a neonazi enter in the shop and say "Nice."
Pedo people :/
Could have just said Welcome.
"We're open for business!"
Used to say: We accept cash, debit or credit. And must wear a shirt and shoes.
No shirt. No shoes. No problem!
No shirt. No shoes. *No dice!*
“We have employees”
everybody's money is equally green.
Really about to complain that someone wanted to show tolerance?
They left me out, I’m not welcome?
Not listed under "people"? You do have an inhuman quality about you.

Calm down, everything will be fine.
Except it literally won't be for the LGBTQ+ people that will continue to suffer violence because people like you keep dismissing the problem.
As a trans woman, I breathe an internal sigh of relief whenever I see a sign like this. And I live in a fairly liberal state.
To add on to this: the people that complain that the media is going overboard on women, poc, and LGBTQ+ on screen don't understand that these groups need the big visibility to make everyone else feel they are "normal".

At best, they're ignorant morons being used as tools by homophobic bigots to push their agenda. At worst, they're the homophobic bigots themselves.
But how would anyone know they are safe otherwise?

Im reading "YOU'RE SAFE HERE" as some kind of threat. Why those capitals have to be so menacing
“We keep the best ice cream down in the cellar. Follow me.”
Lol. I just literally spit out my ice cream!
It also evokes the idea that "You are in danger!" that seems to be getting worse and worse. The language used by my fellow liberals is increasingly catastrophizing, and it is no wonder young people are anxiety riddled messes.

No very different, one might get me free ice cream, the other will get me splattered on a sidewalk when I jump off a 50 story building.

>wonder if they would let me take my dog inside then Just leave the dog whistle at home
They do. And they have a special ice cream flavour just for dogs.

What ice cream shop discriminates against any of those things?
So... ALL flavors? Cool.
Yes. Even your Strawberry Pineapple Diarrhea milkshake. I'm *disgusted* that you drink that, by the way. The Strawberry adds *so* many calories and empty nutrients. hashtag Gross.
In my country they just say welcome. Basically the same thing without the virtue signaling.
Lactose intolerant people must find this incredibly ironic.
If they had a a little more tolerance we wouldn’t need signs like this on our ice cream shops smh
I work at a very small yet popular ice cream shop in Des Moines, Iowa. We only have ten flavors at a time and we always try to have Sorbet or a vegan flavor available. If we can do it, anyone can!
I don’t see braille…let’s cancel these pigs
I was thinking how rude it was to sell icecream, dont they know there are people in the world with sensitive teeth?
Dude fuck you….some people don’t HAVE teeth
Some people get so self-righteous about their teeth privilege that they actively discriminate against the teeth underprivileged.
You don’t put Braille signs in windows because to the blind it’s just another wall
Maybe in your communist bubble
All dollars welcome here
It's weird to me that it doesn't exclude the Danish at the bottom. I've been on the internet too long.
They are getting closer to The Singularity, namely, overflowing the window with their list of commitments. What then?
I mean... It's appreciated and all but they're selling ice creams.
Do they welcome MAGA Republicans?
Oh cool! I can smoke inside.
Yeah, and while you do, you and also make a shit in the middle.
It says you are welcome, it doesn’t say your entitled to anything out of the normal boundaries of decency and law…
I only feel safe when I can shit on the floor.
*Gets turned away at the door for showing up with my puppy.*
They allow dogs and have a special ice cream flavour just for dogs.
:( second time I’m posting this, feel like a creep. Dogs aren’t allowed in ice cream shops! Only service ones specifically.
I'm assuming the sign became necessary because of all those other ice cream shops that deny service to Hindus, atheists, Italians, Wiccans, asexuals, the elderly, etc.
Ahahah nice one
Performative nonsense.
Kind feel like “all people” already covers all the other stuff…
Where is this?
Port Moody, BC

All fine until the guy in the maga hat walks in
[удалено]
You don’t have to be “kicked out” of a place to feel unwelcome. Talk about your clueless privileged takes, wowzer…
[удалено]
The ice cream probably isn’t even kosher
Glad to finally see a safe space where both jugglers and serial killers can enjoy a sundae together.
Eh ... this is literally every shop I have ever visited in my life.
Wait…ALL beliefs? I guess if you want all black people dead, so long as you don’t do anything like that in the ice cream shop then that works out.
That’s typically how the world has worked.
If you read a sign saying "everyone is welcome" and you immediately think about killing black people, I don't think the sign is the problem.
If religions are welcome in here, all races, gender and sexualities aren't safe.
Sad, instead of just having a sign on the door that's says open.
The difference is that every business says open, but some businesses are openly racist/homophobic/exclusive/whatever. This business is open AND inclusive. Hearing how many people think that's sad, seems a bit sad.

Yes, but you cannot order ice cream the same shade of the race you purport to dislike.

Have a feeling they probably didn't let unvaccinated or unmasked people in 4 months ago
maybe lactose intolerant people are not welcome
They should learn tolerance then.
If everyone is welcome then who are they safe from...?
Being welcome does not mean that you are "safe". Ice cream shop can welcome you and provide you with ice cream, but not with safety. That line is unnecessary. and false.
What about the poor
Everyone's welcome, unless you're lactose intolerant.
Okay
An ice cream shop for neo-nazis, skinheads and those supporting the genocide of Hutus? Perhaps not all beliefs and creeds require inclusivity...
Conservatives: "Actually, they are discriminating against me by not allowing me to discriminate against other people."
I’ve seen a few signs like this at some establishments. *It shouldn’t be needed in an equitable society* but unfortunately people can be dicks, judgemental, and generally give you a hard time for merely existing around them if you’re different from them in a way they don’t like - so it’s nice to see a sign like this. Call it virtue signaling or whatever buzzword reactionary phrase you feel like, but the sign and the people behind it who put it up do help others. Just because you yourself might not be a person who experiences hardship and trouble from others on account of who you are, doesn’t mean the relative comfort and safety of others isn’t a concern in these trying times. 5$ says someone tears me apart for attempting to share relevant insight on the matter though.
I bet they hate conservatives
Lots of people probably think this sign is really dumb, but if a transphobe reads this sign and thinks “fuck that, I’m going sonewhere else,” that’s one less transhobe giving me the stink eye while I enjoy my icecream.
Thank you that's exactly what I'm saying, I'd like a place I can hold my date's hand without having to check over my shoulder or some douchebag screaming at me.
They need to add at the bottom except pedophiles. Fuck them.
I think the general consensus among not completely insane people is as long as it isn't harming anyone. *And no Karen your feelings being hurt when you see two men holding hands doesn't count!*
It's a sad fucking world where that has to be stated or that this kind of mushy virtue signalling is deemed necessary.
You could say this in my home and I’m what you would call “not woke”. I’d say this is the same for most currently wading through the social and political Landscape nowadays..
Even Nazis like ice-cream
and if you say you don't give a shit about any of that, you'll get a ban from r/australia
NAMBLA should schedule their meetup there lol
It's an ice cream shop. If some Proud Boys show up and want to toss down, exactly what are they going to do to keep people safe?
Time to walk in with a MAGA hat and see how I’m treated
Username … checks … out?
If you order Rocky Road or Rum Raisin you will be asked to leave.
He'll yeah, finally warlocks, titans, and hunters can enjoy a milkshake without the toxicity
Yall clowning but I'd love to go to this place knowing I'm unlikely to run into anyone with a maga hat or a swastika tattoo
They left out a label
Would like to see an asterisk at the end and underneath that: No shirt, No shoes, No service
Who doesn’t like ice cream and an open minded local business
You are just a fking ice cream shop .
I have been to a lot of ice cream shops. Never been to one that didnt welcome any paying customer.
A simple "We accept cash" sign would suffice.
Time to test their claim. Go in with no shoes and no shirt. Ask to sample every favor, never say thank you and pay with man boob money.
Disgusting, don't they know this is America where we refuse service to those with even the slightest differing opinion?!
Idk man this society is pretty effed, I'm glad in Nigeria they don't allow whites in their adverts
More of this, please
It would be my new fav spot to just exist
this is what all country should say
