I totally understand your concerns, and they are completely valid, I worry about the same sorta shit constantly
HOWEVER
it seems evident by recent events that you are more accepted than you think. You don’t have to do anything. The only thing you have to do is be yourself, and the people that fw you will come around. And anyone that has a problem isn’t someone you should give a fuck about anyway
Quality of life is definitely exponentially better than it was at that time. However, while we may not face the same physical turmoils, I believe the mental turmoil is much, much greater in the modern day. We do not have nearly as much concern for physical health, but mental health has hit the floor. I don’t know that the general human condition is “better” or “worse”, just different
I don’t really see this as encouraging suicide. Drag explicitly stated that another option is preferable. Could’ve been worded better, sure, and it’s in very poor taste, but… I cant say I disagree…
Interesting take. I haven’t seen any poor behavior from drag at any point and, unless I’ve missed something, drag seems to be a fine and well-contributing member of this community.
Grail, on the other hand, I have no doubt is a troll. Aside from their consistent behavior, they were heavily involved with mindtraveller (if anyone remembers them) who was also very clearly a troll. Granted, they may also just be heavily narcissistic. Regardless, I refuse to entertain claims of divinity. The assertion that someone must be referred to as a god/goddess/superior being of any form is an assault on my and others’ freedom of religion, spirituality, or lack thereof.
No individual is inherently above or below another, nor will I be intimidated into referring to them as such - be it by them, mods, or anyone else.
All I really have to say in response is this:
