bisexuals are not being homophobic/lesbophobic when they tell you that it’s bi erasure to call canonically bi characters gay/lesbian
bisexuals are not being homophobic/lesbophobic when they take issue with you coming onto their posts talking about canonically bi characters with some “umm no sweaty they’re gay :)” bullshit
bisexuals are not being homophobic/lesbophobic when they call gays and lesbians out on their bi erasure and biphobia
what comphet is: a serious issue lesbians face when society makes them feel as though they have to/are obligated to/supposed to be with men.
what comphet isn’t: an excuse to erase bisexual characters and representation in media because you don’t like that a character is bisexual and not lesbian
Also. It's okay to enjoy content with gay/bi men in it and appreciate them as characters or their ships. But when you start treating them like babies or something just for your entertainment? Gross. There's a line between appreciation and fetishization, more people need to learn when they cross it.
“gay men shouldn’t be over sexualized and be treated like sexual deviants” and “gay men are allowed to be in sexual relationships and talk about their sexuality in adult spaces” are two things that can exist at the same time.
people who use the first to call out any instance of gay sexuality as “gross” and say gay men can’t show any signs of sexuality towards their partners are a problem. people who use gay men’s sexuality as a fetish are a problem. gay men are allowed to have sexual feelings and feel sexual attraction and they shouldn’t be demonized or fetishized for it.
tldr just treat gay men with respect and stop infantilizing us and/or fetishizing us.
Billie Joe Armstrong literally wrote a song about coming out as bisexual as a teenager, and then like two years later wrote one that was pretty much all about dressing up in drag and getting fucked by/fucking guys, and y'all STILL say he’s a “straight ally” because he married a woman??
things that actually do improve your mental health that of course won’t cure you and solve all your problems, but will significantly improve your quality of life:
• drinking enough water
• eating healthier
• getting enough exercise (even just doing a bit of yoga/stretching everyday or going for a walk)
• adopting a more positive mindset (not pretending everything’s fine, just not being overly negative and trying to see the brighter side of things and have hope for the future)
• taking a shower everyday and washing your hair enough, taking care of your skin, doing nice things for yourself every now and then (it doesn’t have to be costly, it could just be something small), and other forms of self care
• meditation (its actually proven to improve your mental health significantly and really helps with things like stress and anxiety)
• being more mindful about the media you consume and how its affecting you (e.g “hey i feel more anxious when im on social media because of this reason, I should decrease how much time i spend doing that”)
• practicing self love (although it’s hard, it’s absolutely necessary)
• writing in a diary, it can be a physical diary or just on your phone (really important for people who can’t get therapists or don’t have anyone to talk to)
please stop downplaying the positive impact that small practices like these can have on someone’s life just because they won’t fix everything. small improvements are still improvements. neglecting yourself and your health is terrible for your mind and any steps towards taking better care of yourself are really important
What I love most about Gen Z is how unbothered but simultaneously extremely bothered we are in general
“I’ll probably die in my 20s and even that is an overestimation of my lifespan. I don’t even give a fuck I just want it to be over soon”
“I stg that if you old dumbfucks do not fix the damage you did to the earth I will put hot sauce in your contact lens solution. Also just vaccinate your kid Jillian they’re probably not gonna end up autistic, you absolute idiot”
What cringe culture shouldnt be about: kids having fun & enjoying things like videogames and making OCs
