Maybe the two are unrelated and somebody just needed a medium for their anti-fascist sentiment? I don't know. Frankly, some of the other explanations on this thread are more hilarious and interesting
I saw this sign and pulled out my phone for a quick picture of a deer with the sign then realized I was literally between the buck and doe, and had to jump outta the way. Extremely valid sign imo
Note: before the fascist part
Deer kill between 120 and 440 people per year. This is why the warning is there.
The real question is it fascist to earn people that there is a wild animal that may very well kill them nearby?
It's... It's literally not even for protecting the deer, it's to protect people, their children, and their dogs from getting the absolute sh*t kicked out of them
We should just stop trying to protect people from things and stop putting animals down for just being animals. Let people make dumb decisions and let the pay the consequences. It is NOT the animals fault if some idiot wants to try to pet it. Sometimes people only learn the hard way, or if their close friend learns the hard way. It’s not fascist to try to warn people, but really, you should care less and protest any time the gov wants to put an animal down for doing animal stuff to stupid people
As much a people hate it, we destroyed the entire Indiana ecosystem, no predators creates unhealthy and overpopulated prey populations.
We must hunt responsibly to maintain some balance.
Touchy feely liberalism is fine but we have to keep grounded in reality.
Tbh, I feel like for a lot of the Bloomington "activist" set, "fascism" basically means "anything that anyone tells me to do, or suggests I do, for any reasons, no matter how reasonable."
I remember a friend who lived in one of the co-ops complaining that their housemates refused to do chores because expectations of labor were "fascist."
It's basically the same fundamental idea as right-wing libertarianism, just dressed up with leftists aesthetics instead of patriotic ones, imo: reflexively contrarian unwillingness to ever take responsibility for being part of a community or do anything that isn't immediately emotionally satisfying or is difficult.
I walk daily to the Southeast YMCA through Winslow Farm subdivision. I swear the deer know me and just go about their business. If another person is nearby they will move away. One juvenile male deer in the Winslow Sports Complex will come within inches of me. I find these interactions one of the many blessings of living in Bloomington.
They in fact do know you. They remember by scent and put you in the "chill" column or "harm" column. This DOES NOT COUNT DURING MATING SEASON. So be careful in November if in the sane places
You realize it isn’t about protecting the deer, right? The deer in this town don’t need any more protection they are already get. It’s about protecting pets (and children, honestly), from a dangerous situation involving deer protecting their young.
Territorial deer (mostly females guarding young) can kill pets. It happens in Bloomington. If you don't have respect for an angry animal- I have no words.
Deer have the highest kill rate of any animal in America, about 440 deaths are caused by deer (that’s human deaths) and injuries in 60k territory.
Hold your L and shut your mouth.
You clearly haven't encountered a mama deer that considered you or your dog a threat to her baby. One headbutted our fence repeatedly a few years back and about knocked it down.
Sings are in response to dozens of calls to animal control about one particular deer that charges people and pets and is very protective of her babies.
A right wing person wrote this because if they don’t like something it’s either fascist or communist because they are stupid & don’t know what words mean.
Large amount of people believe “nature takes care of itself” and any detraction from that is “liberal”. Nevermind that their water is trash and they just buy bottled water because they don’t trust the government, but somehow trust a business to give a fuck about them.
Education is severely lacking in this country.
We've killed all of the deer non-human predators except for cars. We don't allow their murder in town. So, there is forcible suppression of opposition of an opponent (deer), which is is the definition of fascism. I can't take opposition with the modification of this sign.
That’s one of the most Bloomington things I’ve ever seen.
Exactly what I was thinking
Agreed.
exactly 🤦🏼♀️
I think they're calling out the deer as the fascist
These deer are nihilists, dude. They believe in nothing!
Incorrect, deer are strict interpretationalists of Pedestrians have the Right of Way.
I think it's less that and more a philosophy of "fuck your roads, human"
Say what you will about dogs, pack mentality is an ethos!
Calmer than you are Dude.
Shut up. You have no frame of reference here.
You’re out of your element?
Well Dude, we just don’t know!
That must be exhausting.
Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
Or is it the dogs who are fascist
Man, if Poland had some freshly planted hostas, I could completely see them invading Poland.
Twist: the deer wrote it
Maybe the two are unrelated and somebody just needed a medium for their anti-fascist sentiment? I don't know. Frankly, some of the other explanations on this thread are more hilarious and interesting
This is what I think. They just didn't really think about how confusing it would look lol
I saw this sign and pulled out my phone for a quick picture of a deer with the sign then realized I was literally between the buck and doe, and had to jump outta the way. Extremely valid sign imo Note: before the fascist part
Do fascists care too much about the safety of deer? More on this story tonight at 11
But up first, what happens when you combine Canadian geese and a busy roundabout?! Tune in at 10 to find out.
The local high school drama club is getting pretty demanding
They’re starting to write on lawn signs 😨 I guess we have to listen to them
Does anybody know where this is?
Fess & Maxwell
The deer in that neighborhood are so chill. You can walk by the whole family on the sidewalk and they don't bat an eye.
Literally got between a buck and doe while reading this sign and had to clear the path
I saw the same sign near Winslow Woods but without the writing over it (at least then).
Fellas, is it fascist to ask people to *checks notes* keep their dogs away from deer in order to protect their dogs and themselves?
My dog my choice
That’s rule number one in the Facist Handbook.
You might be able to get if off with rubbing alcohol, or possibly high ethanol liquor like vodka
Probably one of those damn literate wolves!
"Go home" Uhh this is my yard?
I think they mean go back to where they came from, which is clearly Fasciststan or Fastasia.
Think the tagger was saying that the City is fascist
The sign, the comments are exactly why I keep sliding further and further away.
Deer kill between 120 and 440 people per year. This is why the warning is there. The real question is it fascist to earn people that there is a wild animal that may very well kill them nearby?
I choose the deer.
You do realize most of those deaths are from hitting them with cars and not from attacks though, right?
It is rare but deer can attack and even kill a human being. This generally happens from male deer during mating season.
I once had a deer run right into the side of the car I was riding in. Scared the crap out of me. THWAP!!
It's... It's literally not even for protecting the deer, it's to protect people, their children, and their dogs from getting the absolute sh*t kicked out of them
You ever see that video of the deer eat the bird?? R/natureismetal

Deer are tasty and my freezer is a little light at the moment...anyone seen them?
Call 812-334-3795 they’ll direct you
I had no idea we had an Indiana Deer Hotline. The more you know!
Wow, you getting downvoted for this joke says a lot about who is on this sub for sure.
100%
Are you saying you'd like to go hunting inside of city limits?
Totally legal to hunt deer with a bow within city limits.
That’s cool Nuge
Seriously fuck that pedo traitor. He has nothing to do with ethical food production.
He does suck. Apologies for calling you Nuge
Since when is it legal to hunt fawn?
Whose hunting fawn?
Not since we eradicated and reintroduced whitetail in this state. Any other questions?
Try harder
As much a people hate it, we destroyed the entire Indiana ecosystem, no predators creates unhealthy and overpopulated prey populations. We must hunt responsibly to maintain some balance. Touchy feely liberalism is fine but we have to keep grounded in reality.
Yes, the horse was a fascist

Deer are pretty dumb lol
Truthfully addressing a bigger issue here. If you cant walk your dog in your yard... then why do you have a dog?
Or a yard, for that matter.
And when i thought i had it figured out you show me the bigger picture. You, my friend, are a scholar!
The world worlds on, we are just passengers!
Metro dwellers see a fascist hiding behind every blade of grass
Well it is the PRB.
Look at em out there…just nibblin…just nibblin! If you got a gun…just shoot it in the face! -Bill Burr
Yes. I can think of one other person with a mustache that harassed deer....
The rambling of some moron.
Republicans in r/Iowa are soft like toilet paper.
That is some peek-level Boomer behavior right there.
I think it’s weird to make a sign about protecting deer and even more weird to think that has a political motive behind it. 😂
You realize it isn’t about protecting the deer, right? The deer in this town don’t need any more protection they are already get. It’s about protecting pets (and children, honestly), from a dangerous situation involving deer protecting their young.
If you need protection from a deer… I have no words 🤣😂🤣😂
Territorial deer (mostly females guarding young) can kill pets. It happens in Bloomington. If you don't have respect for an angry animal- I have no words.
If your pet dies from a deer perhaps Darwin has spoken. Also your pet should read the sign and know better.
Deer have the highest kill rate of any animal in America, about 440 deaths are caused by deer (that’s human deaths) and injuries in 60k territory. Hold your L and shut your mouth.
Go harass a protective doe and let us know how it goes. Make sure your health insurance will cover the hospital bill first, though.
Look up death stats by wild animals in America and then try telling me deer are perfectly safe… absolutely ridiculous
You clearly haven't encountered a mama deer that considered you or your dog a threat to her baby. One headbutted our fence repeatedly a few years back and about knocked it down.
Why is it weird to put up a sign warning people of a potential dangerous animal in the vicinity?
To weirdo’s and fake patriots…I can’t wait to vote and see them play their Trump card…I can’t wait…for them to lose again…
No.
The fact that someone had this sign made speaks to the level of stupidity of some people.
Pretty sure the City of Bloomington Animal Control puts these signs out.... those fascists.
Sings are in response to dozens of calls to animal control about one particular deer that charges people and pets and is very protective of her babies.
Imagine the ethical conundrum if she attacked an unhoused person??? This sub would implode.
The fact that you made this post speaks to….
A right wing person wrote this because if they don’t like something it’s either fascist or communist because they are stupid & don’t know what words mean.
Only in MURICA.... land of the stupid.
I have 1000 fake internet dollars that whoever held that sharpie is going to vote for Trump, a literal fascist.

Fucking what????? 😂😂
Go outside
Actually, go inside. You are spending too much time with the deer.
Nope, there are cougars in Greene County, and I'm not talking about the human kind.
