Why don’t we discuss the vast amount of underaged dating within the LGBT community? We only crucify creepy men preying on young girls, but it doesn’t stop there.
For example:
I know of a couple that met when one was 15-16, and according to my calculations, that would make her partner at least 26 at the time they got together. Now, they receive a lot of praise on here but every time I saw their pix, I felt sick to my stomach.
Because we don’t talk about it, we young people walking around thinking this behaviour is okay.
I had a girl try to get at me one time who said she was 21 and ended up being 17. When I found out her real age I ceased communication and dead the shit immediately. She kept trying to contact me because she couldn’t wrap her mind around it…saying she was “grown” and that she’s “been with older women before,” like that makes it okay.
I’m in NO WAY blaming her…I blame all of us who see this shit going on and don’t speak up. When we see men seeking out younger women, we’re all up in arms and are quick to drag them. But when it’s a same-gender couple, why don’t we have the same reaction?
If you’re in your mid twenties, what could you possibly have in common with someone in their teens? What do you talk about? Where y’all gonna go? Why can’t you find someone close to your own age?
^^ that part. what could this teenager be offering you other than the ability to be easily manipulated.
When pet owners talk about their pets it’s guaranteed to fall under one of two categories:
Rover is the sweetest kindest force in my life, my closest ally, my best friend, the family member who molded me as a person who I would absolutely lay down my life for. Please let me show you photos of this perfection incarnate.
Socks is on double secret baby probation now and she’s gated in the living room because she wont stop sneaking out and trying to eat all the towels in the house, like the bastard idiot child she is.
I would like to clarify this is not a “which type of pet owner are you” post. There is no choosing. Pet owners are both of these, all the time, forever. It’s a matter of which one is the conversation topic of the day, and the outcome depends entirely upon how recently their pet tried to eat plastic
The moment we saw the cardboard disk in the “physical copies” should’ve been a red flag
oh dear
Waitholup, there were WHAT in the disk cases??
You know, for a minute there I thought Blizzard had conducted this year’s greatest video-game cock-up. Then Bethesda said “Hold my Nuka Cola” and started a dumpster fire.
THIS. I saw a post the other day that literally said if you do it to a fictional character, you’ll do it in real life.
No. Just NO.
I’m so glad someone put it into words.
Lin-Manuel Miranda is a legend, and he’s absolutely right.
And I really feel like there are parts of fandom that don’t get or don’t believe this, and I think that’s troubling. I’ve seen arguments that people shouldn’t have dark fantasies, or that bad impulses in themselves make a bad person. I’ve seen so much shaming over thoughts.
And if you get to a point where it’s bad to have dark thoughts and it’s bad to wonder what something would be like and it’s bad to put yourself in the shoes of anyone who isn’t “pure”, if fiction is no longer a realm where you can confront and explore, but an ongoing test of moral purity… well, maybe not everyone’s brain works like mine, but I feel like that takes away something incredibly important to being human.
Me: Y’know, I’m not really excited about Disney’s upcoming remakes, but hopefully this means I can hear some decent covers of classic songs. I wonder how they’ll handle “Be Prepared” in the Lion King remak-
