sign maker asked to make sign: 'Welcome unvacinated and unafraid' but like pretty ya know??

[Demovictory9]

The owner of a personalized sign business went viral for shutting down a woman asking her to make an anti-vaccination sign.



"Can u make a custom sign?? I want one with a certain saying but can't find it. I can do local pick up," the initial message from Samantha reads.

A second message states what kind of sign the customer is looking for: "I want a round door sign that says 'Welcome unvacinated and unafraid' but like pretty ya know?? Its for my front door and i need it by thanksgiving. How much $$??."


"Samantha, assuming you are referring to the COVID vaccine, I cannot in good conscience make a sign promoting anti-vaccination," @thesleepyowlhome wrote back. "COVID vaccines have been thoroughly tested and proven effective and are entirely safe so there's nothing to even be afraid of. Thanks!"


"Um i didn't ask for your opinion i just want you to do your job like im paying you for. or you just cant do customs like you said and are just lieing to our customers or what?? Seriously I just want the sign and im the one paying you and im a lion not a sheep!!" Samantha said.


At the end of the video, @thesleepyowlhome drew up the requested sign, but facetiously points out the spelling and grammatical mistakes. She also adds an extra line so it reads: "Welcome we are unvaccinated and unafraid * and uneducated."

1. QAnon type of garbage. " ... im a lion not a sheep!!" aka Meth Head Bikers

26. There it is! The difference between Hitler's Nazis and America's Fascist Republicans

Hitler would never have allowed his aryan maidens to display their, um, “bootay” in such a marginally alluring way. He preferred his porn in the shape of photos and films of well muscled blond haired men with empty expressions on their chiseled faces -- and probably a lower degree of STD than the machine gun babes here pictured.

(The top photo, however, looks very photo-shopped -- lettering doesn’t match the curves of the shirt. The bottom photo looks real but it brings to mind the old school-boy “jocular" locker-room line about putting a flag over her face and you-know-what-ing her for Old Glory. Although I will admit that, despite her smirking idiot smile, she’s actually somewhat attractive -- just doesn’t dress well and, certainly, disrespects the flag.)

[Botany]

29. Sadly those photos are real ... a clothing line features that kind of crap. Yea! 1/6/21

.. like that. The people who wear and or buy that crap think they are being clever and smart.
Putin has been wildly successful in stoking the mouth breathers to help to tear this country apart.
I dealt with some of these people on election day. Meth head bikers.

2. Is that the same as the RW bakery refusing to make the gay wedding cake ?

[Horse with no Name]

3. Did I miss the part where unvaccinated idiots

Are a protected class??

[OnDoutside]

4. There's a lot of stupid going around but this looks like a similar

issue of the seller not selling his services because he disagrees with the customer.

[yardwork]

5. Well, it's not the same. Any business always has the right to decline a specific request.

It's unconstitutional to turn away a customer just because they're Black, or Jewish, or gay. It's not unconstitutional to tell any customer that you won't make a specific request.

There's an important distinction.

[Effete Snob]

10. There is a difference between...

…an opinion, on the one hand, and an immutable characteristic of personhood on the other hand.

Do people “disagree” about being black, white, Asian, etc.? No, they ARE those things.

I gather you believe that being gay is a choice of some kind. Is that correct?

[RVN VET71]

23. Now, now, Effete

Let’s not cross the line in assuming things not at all in evidence. When you “assume” you make . . . well, you know. Besides, everybody knows that if being gay were a choice, we’d all of us be gay, or at least bi.

With the rest of your points I agree thoroughly. (Although I’ve never seen the profit in trying to force a baker to make something for me that she doesn’t want to make and that I’m going to eat.)

[3825-87867]

27. Good point, RVN Vet71

If being gay is a choice then being a bigot must be a choice because I'm pretty sure we all are not born bigots or racists or, etc.

Those seem to be personally and intentionally acquired attributes.

[Wounded Bear]

39. Hatred and bigotry are taught...

Children may have curiousty about differences among their peers, but it takes training from the core family to turn that curiosity into hatred.

[OnDoutside]

38. Cop yourself on, of course that's not what I'm asking. The question

relates to whether the signwriter has the right to refuse a customer, in the same way those rwnj bakers tried to do.

[Effete Snob]

40. It's not the "same"

That's what you are not quite understanding.

Being gay is not an "opinion".

[OnDoutside]

45. No, that's the "answer", the question is the "same" of a business owner refusing a service.

[Effete Snob]

42. The law on this is not hard to understand

Any business can refuse service to any customer for any reason - PROVIDED it is not an unlawful reason.

So, yes, you can refuse service to someone because you believe they are an asshole. You cannot refuse service to someone who is African American, because the law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.

Religion (with the exception of religious organizations), national origin, race, color, or sex, are what are deemed "protected categories" in federal law.

Sexual orientation is a protected category under the law of many states.

Understanding this is only difficult for people who believe being gay is a choice. That is why various people think it is the "same" for a business owner to discriminate on the basis of political opinion and sexual orientation. It is simply not the equivalent situation.

Oh, and "the libs"?

6. I've noticed that a lot of these white supremacist girls are desperate for male partners.

There's a whole subculture of women trying to find a man by parroting white supremacist tropes, posing in skimpy clothes with guns, posing in mid-20th century clothes with Nazi symbols, etc etc.

It's just a new way to find men for some of these women. I have no idea why they're so desperate. It says something terrible about our culture.

[stopdiggin]

13. nah. this is just (cheap) marketing porn

pretty much the same as putting the hottie draped over the seat of a motorcycle (or hood of a car). The idea that these calendar pin-ups represent real women out there 'desperate for a date' ... Fantasy.

Yeah - it probably does say something kind of disappointing about us - in general. But not what you suggest. (IMO) There's plenty of neck-beards to go around.

[yardwork]

19. Some are fake, but plenty are real. I think that sex is the motivation for many.

[Escurumbele]

21. There was a study done a couple of years ago which found that right-wings and white-supremacist

guys have a problem dating, women do not want anything to do with them, so I believe those are paid "models" and not women really looking to date the jackasses. Any woman with 1/2 a brain know that many of these thugs are notorious for beating up their women, it is part of their lack of confidence.

[stopdiggin]

24. Yeah. I'd come down on that side.

[kcr]

8. Did you take a wrong turn somewhere? n/t

[irisblue]

9. And on that point...

"Remember when Republicans advocated for business owners to refuse customers because of gay wedding cakes. And now they are acting like this,"
from the article.

[demmiblue]

11. Umm, no.

[mopinko]

12. would it be the same if the sign said

"n_____ go home" ?

[Ace Rothstein]

28. How does a gay wedding cake differ from a straight wedding cake?

[OnDoutside]

37. Let Google be your friend.

[COL Mustard]

15. I Just Signed Up For Notifications

She'll get my sign business!!!

And I can spell!!!

[niyad]

16. Samantha, you clueless twit, unless the sign maker agrees to do the job, you are not

paying anything. You come of sounding like a whiny 3 year old stamping feet in a tantrum. And you cannot spell, nor can you reason.

[thucythucy]

17. Excellent.

There should be pushback every time these clowns step outside their bubble,

They are, after all, helping keep this pandemic alive.

[Johnny2X2X]

18. Right Wingers have this idea that people are living in fear

They think Libs are hiding in their basements or something. No one is living in fear, people are going about their lives. Most people are vaccinated and thus safer for it. Getting vaccinated is not living in fear, it's being considerate of others. Wearing a mask isn't living in fear, it's looking out for your fellow American.

The country is back to normal, has been for months and months. Mask mandates in schools have zero bearing on normalcy. It's a tiny piece of fabric, it's bothering almost no one, and it's far from living in fear.

[yardwork]

20. It says a lot about the anti-vaxxers. They're the ones in fear.

The false bravado (I'm a lion not a sheep!) and general obsession with fear tells us what's driving them - fear. The rest of us are doing ok.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. Why not just post a sign saying "All COVID Lovers Welcome"?

or just "I Love COVID Virus"?



That customer's support of the virus' spread is damaging the sign maker's business and customer base. Why help spread the problem?

KY.....

[3825-87867]

25. Is "Sam" coming out?

She's a "Lion!" OK.

Might be a bit picky but...

Isn't a female "Lion" a Lioness?"

C'mon Man, er... Be proud! Learn to spell and state your true feelings.

P.S. Is the bottom pix photoshopped, then?

Just askin'

[PatSeg]

30. No Spellcheck Samantha?

We all make mistakes, but these days we have spellcheck which helps minimize those mistakes. Of course, it can't help you with entitled rudeness and ignorance.

[niyad]

31. During the murdering, orange traitor**'s reign of terror, a friend taped a handwritten

sign on her front door, "politics-free zone" at our holiday dinners. No muss. No fuss. No drama.

[Demovictory9]

44. excellent tactic

[Historic NY]

32. Maybe she can get a cake made

with her message.

[cyndensco]

33. As a shopper, I would love to be welcomed with such a sign.

I'd know for certain to avoid that establishment. Not only is the owner an anti-vaxxing asshole, the place could possibly be a hotbed for the virus. *Thanks for the information, Samantha.*

Perhaps @thesleepyowlhome should look at producing the sign as a business opportunity AND as a alert to the public that assholes are inside.

[KarenS]

36. I agree,,,, I like the shirts, hats, signs,,,,, bec I want to know. n/t

[sheilahi]

34. Maybe.....

Maybe she was expecting Aaron Rogers to come for Thanksgiving dinner.

[tanyev]

35. She's a lyin', alright.

[Deep State Witch]

43. Think of it as

a Christian bakery, and you are a gay couple requesting a wedding cake. We had a SCOTUS ruling saying that a business can deny services if they object to what they are being asked to do.

Hurts when you're the one on the receiving end, doesn't it?

[OnDoutside]

46. Exactly. Well said.

[FakeNoose]

47. Do they really want their customers to know this? REALLY?

If I went to a retail establishment and saw a message like that pasted on the door, I'd leave immediately.

This is in the same category as store owners who post signs like, "Sorry we're closed! None of our employees are willing to work."

WTF?
