so for anyone who doesn't feel like slogging through Ghoti, Art Vandelay, guizonde, mellenORL, Damen and Ironchew's self-righteous circle wank right now, allow me to summarize:
- "it's okay to mock and delegitimize sexual identities and such as long as they're outlandish enough for our limited sensibilities! but fuck homophobia and transphobia though! mom, what's hypocrisy?"
- "why do shades of blue need to be named when the word 'blue' already exists? 'turquoise'? 'maroon'? 'light blue'? 'dark blue'? what is this special snowflake bullshit"
- "these people making new terms for themselves to express their identities, feelings and experiences means that they're trying to force me to apply those terms to my identity, feelings and experiences! rabble rabble dey took our jerbs!"
- "what do you mean every human being experiences sexuality, romance and gender differently because every brain and every life is unique, you're just being sheltered tumblrinas who won't accept me telling them they're wrong and delusional and faking it"
- "those darn asexuals and aromantics are appropriating queerness by existing and making terms for themselves! what do you mean 'queer' has been used by heteros to pretty much refer to everything that's non-hetero because heteronormativity and asexual people have suffered corrective sexual assault specifically for being asexual to "fix" them and make them not "frigid", they're just being whiny brats and attention whores"
- "every identity that's not on my Approved List Of Identities is just people lying and being dissatisfied with themselves and their life, if I can't understand something then no human being can ever really experience it"
- "in a society that plays up sex and romance as the be-all and end-all and considered to be a given thing for humans to experience, people who aren't interested in sex or romance are definitely not dehumanized at all, no siree bob, nope, never"
- there's probably some other bullshit buried here that I missed, but fuck it I'm tired
I trusted you people. I liked you. I respected you. I felt like I could really be honest with all of you here, and connect with you on a real and earnest level even if I happened to disagree with your stances. I felt like I was respected. (None of this applies to you, Ironchew, by the way. You went straight to my 'ignore' list after that bullshit you pulled at me, you know what I mean.) But if this is what you get to when I least expect it, tossing around my experiences and my soul as just another lolcow tumblrina sjw special snowflake joke, then I just can't trust or respect any of you anymore. I refuse to.
Fuck all of you. Sitting on your high horses, claiming that you're better and more enlightened than the fundies and the conservatives, but then turning around and doing this shit. I'm done with you all.
