know, right? Man, it took me awhile to wake up too, it always makes me both happy and sad to see someone else finally leaving as well. Happy that they are finally through with the bullshit; sad that they had to go through it.
What would you say is your experience current views or have you written a testimony or something? I mean it's my understanding that most people who believe in the left did so because they were the alternative to religious or cultural institutions that were oppressive to their identity or they believed in the cult of personality of Barack Obama. Once those things sort of ran out or they got what they needed they kind of had to face the now what. I think at least some of the best solution men is what you gone from fighting for survival or just social acknowledgement say gay marriage passing things have to figure out what kind of person you are and live your life and unfortunately as is often the case when someone self reflects they find that there's a lot they don't like about themselves
honestly I'm not even sure if I take the politics or the organization's of the left her what's wrong but the behavior on social media where a lot of the discourses happening it's just really bad. But I'm primarily coming at this to fandom because I'm socially maladjusted and doing almost all my interrelating online. But the big problem is that while I can totally blind to ideas like people way overreacting and being hostile to the idea of gay shipping I can't exactly ignore the fact that shipping as a whole can be bad because everything I disliked about gay shipping happened with a very straight ship with it a donger less-experienced audience in the first series of the avatar The Last Airbender franchise. Which made me painfully realize that these people weren't so much developing a deep-seated love and appreciation for the gay lifestyle or Awakening the gay rights or anything like that but it was just a thing to do when you became adolescent enough like drugs rock and roll.
Ever since then I've adopted a different phrases in order to help check myself like shipping is not social activism. But the number one problem for things was Howard defected discussing things we either had to be all in on reinterpret a character is gay in order so that every activity that they did was in that lens or fighting that and not allowing or creating a general hostile environment for its gay fans as it became a single issue of interpret this character is gay or be gay positive
when the actual media started taking on this cast ... it made things insufferable because essentially all it had to do was Pander a little note to the audience and leave everything else by the wayside. Yeah I'm talking about Steven Universe here
using that as an example people only really started to turn on the show when their version of the woman didn't get their way whether that was the butts Jasper not becoming a lovable goof with the team. Or much more heterosexuality appear lean lapis getting a thousand Second Chances whereas Peridot had to literally reform everything about her
And of course the turning on rose quartz when it turned out it wasn't a lesbian Revolution but the girl who got to run away from home
but really more so it was as people started to identify openly with the character of pearl who hit me with almost all the problems
I don't even have a problem with someone who quote on quote makes being gay their entire personality. People are boring and actually kind of dull. If they don't have a lot of distinct personality we often like the same music want the same goals eat the same food we're really not that unique
it's more when they make being hostile in freaking people out their personality that's always been my problem and I always Associated it with being gay because it seems the number one way being gay was to be an intentional freak out looking to cause trouble as opposed to just self express and be yourself
a racial note so many things were often marketed or told to me not even necessarily the marketing but people this to find me as being black and if I wasn't I wasn't black or I was white on the inside really f****** hurt so it's led to a sort of disconnect on an ethnic side of my culture but not even entirely
it's probably because of that Saint my growing self awareness of how terrible I was with Japanese culture as my anime fandom matured and I still don't speak Japanese that I was probably just old enough and not to hormonal that I could avoid being completely swept up with the woke Brigade but watching it happen to the people I did believe in and follow really hurt I've never really been able to quit them moviebob even later once I was exposed to like Lily Orchard
meet all the worst that and I do feel for the community leaders here but the default option to avoid legal or social ramification is to make sure nobody talks so it feels like there's less and less places to just vent frustration and hope to talk out things so I realize there's certain ways you have to approach a conversation in order so that there's productive development
but it's like we're forced to get along even when we don't and it makes things all the worse so places like here and digital Wild West kind of feel necessary and spacebattles feels like the last Haven to be fair because I got kicked out of rpg.net primarily because I started disagreeing with the overall political tone of rpg.net
I wasn't even swearing and being disruptive just bringing up controversial opinions. But it was like it was always a trick such as when someone died because they wouldn't get aborted and Ireland everybody said well they should have allowed abortions I pointed out that will the actual problem with the liability to the doctors and that eventually led to me getting a notice from the moderators. When I noticed a trend in terms of how politics we're being portrayed in media how Iron Man 3 seem to be re perpetuating the idea that the enemy is the that is pretty much what put me over
all of this is to say that that's been my journey to disillusionment with the left and wokeness as a sort of virtue performance and make me incredibly sensitive to when I see it in others
