i think grossness is a vital aspect of life btw and we all experience it and i think its important to represent in art and i think oversanitization of popular media is 100% our downfall. things are gross and disgusting and yucky and thats life we cannot deny ourselves this
the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you’re supposed to help your friends move even if it’s hard work. or stay up with them when they’re sad even if you’re gonna lose sleep. you’re supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that’s how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they’re sick. you’re supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there’s actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
hehe neat i’m derangedposting on main. even as a tumblr veteran who witnessed this brand of identitycrafting take shape before going somewhat mainstream, i must say again what i have been saying for years. i stood alone in my online castigation and i never faltered, i never deleted, i never remade, i survived every bullet like 50 Cent in his prime. i fear no call out post. so i’m gonna just say maybe we need to invalidate some of your identities a tiny bit more. invalidation is a necessary tool that is often misused. What are you people doing. What are you saying. i always said it was a mistake to reward everyone who had a case of special snowflake syndrome and faced no real privation for their sex/love/and even *gasp* gendered lives, by allowing them to brand themselves as a nebulous “queer” online and roleplay oppression they only understood not through lived experience but through Online Posting Online. it was a mistake to attribute this bastardization and misuse of identity politics to “queers” at all. instead i will lead the charge as i always have and say a lot of you people are misogynists at worst or weird quirky heterosexuals at best with the LGBTQIA+Wiki opened in another tab so people don’t notice when you dress it up in illiterate zoomer “queer theory” language. society must make it cool for straights to simply be straight so they don’t have to abuse the worst developments that “queer theory” has offered in the last decade to sound hip and cool. and i am putting “queer theory” in quotes here because i honestly hesitate to call it this. there is some compelling writing in that genre. this is something else. this is an obsession with a paper thin conception of novelty and uniqueness. you’re straight, but straight is boring and uncool and outdated and also morally wrong, so you have to project your imagined novelty by cobbling these queer-sounding signifiers together like a fucked up pokedex. enough. i can’t take it anymore. this was funny a decade ago when it was contained to this wacky little insular website. this ain’t funny no more cause yall are serious bro i thought we all were trolling this whole time. this is all an illusion, mass gaslighting. none of this is real. who knows what a polyam mspec aromantic homosexual is, we don’t know what that is, you don’t even believe in what that is. Just say you’re quirky and different. It’s okay. We need to support quirky weirdos so they don’t feel left out. I agree. I always sat with the people who wore cat ears and did kamehameha hand motions in the school cafeteria. now they are online saying they are Weebmaxxing. When will we know peace.
