Why did netizens slam James Duggar?
Duggar was slammed for liking what netizens believe to be an anti-LGBTQIA post on Instagram. He was just recently on the news as he was working on a new project after returning from abroad along with his friends. The 21-year-old recently returned home from a trip to Europe, where the Arkansas native broke many of the family rules given to him by his parents, Jim and Michelle. One of his friends who recently appeared through his own Instagram, Elijah Kaneshiro, was also in the news as he flaunted his bare-chested, toned body in a recent post.
Joy-Anna Duggar was also in the news for donning a pair of pants for the first time in her life. She was taught wearing anything other than a skirt or a dress was "immodest" in her home as a child. As previously reported by MEAWW, "It wasn't something that I was super persistent about studying. I'd always worn skirts my whole life, and so for me I wasn't in a rush," she explained. She also added, "So really the last year we really prayed about it and felt like there wasn't anything in scripture — there isn't anything in scripture that's black and white on dress. It talks a lot about modesty, but I feel like you can be modest and wear pants, and so that's kind of where we came to. I think basically we just looked through scripture for a long time and feel like this is okay for our family and where we are," she explained. She continued by saying she makes an effort to dress modestly. Joy-Anna said, "I do try to be modest in my pants, like in wearing pants, and not things too tight or too short.
'These people make Jesus sound awful'
Fans were furious to see Duggar liking the post. A user said, "I think a factor that doesn't get enough emphasis is that these people are extremely, proudly, willfully ignorant. They are unburdened by complex thoughts. You can't experience cognitive dissonance when there's no cognition to begin with. Are they hypocrites? Yes, they are, but don't give them credit for thinking thoughts." "James and his Big Christian Incel Energy are really starting to piss me off," added another. "Get this kid on a watch list. All Duggar boys should be on one regardless," claimed another. "These people make Jesus sound awful," wrote another. "Note the text in the post that says this includes the death penalty in some cases. And he still liked it," asked a user. "Because he thinks that being gay is just as bad if not worse than other things he considers sexual sins," wrote another.
