I'd like to be rude to my global mythology teacher:
you're alright, I had high hopes for a fellow writer. but now, as I look through your lessons you're giving me, I'm losing those high hopes. you know what would be great? if you had all of the information you'd like for us to read and know all neatly and nicely typed out in the lesson so that we can just go back to that or absorb it all from one area
throwing eleven fucking links to websites in the lesson is not doing that
there is hardly anything you have done
I'm not going to have fifteen fucking tabs open while working on your assignments. no. I refuse. I don't mind if you had some paragraphs written out and then had a link here and there saying "this website goes more in-depth if you'd like to learn more"
but no
you have the websites do the work for you
Dear rich cis het white boy who wants to aid for my global foods class: fuck you. It's not sexist, racist, or ageist for you to not be allowed to aid. No one is allowed to aid because we're in the middle of a pandemic. And for you to unironically claim that it's sexist, heterophobic, and racist (especially when the principals and the superintendent and everyone else in charge are straight white men like you) that you're not being allowed to do something is gross (: So take your ass out of this classroom and leave the teacher alone instead of coming in every day to bug her about the same thing :))))))))))
"The teacher isn't letting me help during the pandemic!!! THIS IS HETEROPHOBIA!!!"
I love ContraPoints
Jyn you and I are on the same side of YouTube

I would like to own this carrot.

hot take BUT
straight kids are also the victims of homophobic media and homophobia in general and yes i will explain if someone wants to hear
No I agree
The whole "is it gay??" thing, as funny as it is to joke about, is really toxic to straight boys too.
exactly! like yeah i love that joke, but the problem is, boys growing up don't understand the nuances like we, already developed queers, would. a gay boy sees his friends laughing at that and is confused about what is and isn't okay, what's gay and what's just pals, what's normal or not. a straight boy sees it and sees it solely as a joke, leading to interactions with his friends who arent straight that are harmful, or to him developing that little bit of internalized homophobia that most straight boys have
straight kids are victims of casual homophobia because when no one is there to tell them that it's homophobic, they see it as simply a Thing, they treat it as a thing, and they end up harming their relationships with friends and hurting said friends, as well. but they didn't mean to, because they didn't get told what was bad about it
Also people discouraging close friendship between guys because "it's gay" is super toxic.
THAT'S THE POINT I WAS MISSING
i couldn't figure out what it was i really wanted to say but yes! people make so many jokes about guys hugging their friends being gay, so guys are scared to be as close with their friends as girls are
which leads into a whole thing about lesbians and gxg relationships constantly being called friendships because 'girls are just touchy!' but
anyway like yeah, it may not be overt homophobia and obviously damaging, the way a parent kicking their kid out for is, but it's the kind of thing that builds up and does a lot more damage than you think
Also shaming straight guys for having stereotypically feminine interests, like fashion, makeup, etc.
makeup is just pretty face paint, i don't see why it has to be a gay or feminine thing like
Yes to all those points. I’ve been called gay sooo many times. It is extremely irritating. Just because I try to go beyond what is socially acceptable in terms of male friendships.
Though I will say the Is it gay jokes are hilarious.
oh yeah no again. is it gay jokes are fuckin funny, as long as you can look at them and not internalize any issues they may bring up
fellas. is it gay to swordfight pretty girls in a dennys parking lot
I hate that my mind jumped to that exact tumblr post in 0.004 seconds
TIL that she made a series of these
Their outfits and the weather insinuate that they drove around town and dueled in multiple places on the same day and I love her even more for it
fkjfdh that's the gay agenda
okay. no joke. i think i've been in a class with that girl in the striped sweater. or she at least looks exactly like a girl i've been in a class with
OH MY GOD I HAVE. i found her youtube and one of the videos is literally a video she made for our class
she's super nice and she wore really cool makeup on halloween if i remember correctly. she and i and ronnie from the one video sat in the front of the class and always talked a lot in class discussions, and 90% of what we talked about was like "i'm gay" "yes interesting. i'm gay as well." she also always brought up jjba which if you ask me is iconic. and now that professor is my faculty mentor 4 my research :')
