Then also over someone feeling unsafe because another member liked MAGA and didn't use 'partner' instead of 'wife'. I mean, who can keep up with what's offensive to people, especially marginalized groups, these days? Better to just join a group where you don't have to walk on eggshells as long as you're a decent human being. Also keep in mind what's known or understood as offensive in one culture might not even be known of to another (like American culture vs. Japanese).
If you don’t know anything about a subject or why it would be offensive then you should educate yourself on it. Google and other search engines exist for a reason so there’s no excuse to not do a search that would take less than a minute. Both MAGA and the Pepe frog are connected to the alt-right here in the US, which are a group of far right extremists who frequently hate on and sometimes cause harm to anyone in the LGBTQ community. So they have every reason to not like any mention of those things by others.
