IF YOU CANT HANDLE ME AT MY WORST THEN maybe youre dealing with enough handling yourself at your worst and youre not emotionally equipped to take on another persons issues and even though i need support i shouldnt have it at the expense of someone elses mental health and thats okay
Don’t bother with Pai–he apparently only cares about public opinion when it agrees with him, and the rest of the time it just doesn’t count. Focus on Carr and O’Reilly if you’re going to do this, and maybe point out that the public commenting period is supposed to exist for a reason and choosing to dismiss those comments without evidence and without releasing those complaints within a reasonable timeframe is antithetical to what this process is supposed to be.
ETA: Apparently O’Reilly is probably also a lost cause, so. Focus on brendan.carr@fcc.gov
the answer to ‘guys won’t hug their friends cos they’re scared of seeming gay’ isn’t ‘remove the stigma by declaring it Straight’
it’s ‘get dudes to give up the homophobia that makes them treat gay people with such repulsion that even remotely resembling one is discouraged’
getting homophobic straight dudes to express affection for one another while leaving intact the violent homophobia that made them avoid it doesn’t solve the core issue
which is that straight dudes are such violent homophobes that they will literally cut themselves off from necessary emotional support in order to more effectively identify and isolate/attack gay men
IF YOU ARE READING THIS, CHANCES ARE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET EVERYDAY. THE FCC IS NOW PLANNING ON REPEALING NET NEUTRALITY. THIS MEANS THAT POPULAR WEBSITES WILL RUN SLOWLY UNTIL YOU PAY AN EXTRA FEE. WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF USING WEBSITES AND RESEARCHING FOR FREE.
TEXT ‘RESIST’ AT 50409 AND TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT NET NEUTRALITY NEEDS TO STAY.
I noticed something really sad yesterday. Keith has a habit of letting people get off deeply personal emotional attacks on him without defending himself. I can think of three specific occasions on the show where he has been personally attacked and just turned the other cheek.
1.) In the first episode, Lance called him a dropout, Keith just congratulated Lance on making fighter pilot and moved on.
2.) In the Blade of Mamora, Lance began yelling about how Keith would blow the mission to the BoM base because he’s a hot head. Keith didn’t say a single word in his own defense.
3.) After his heritage was revealed, Allura started glaring at him and refusing to speak to him. He never once spoke up about how he had done nothing to deserve this treatment. He just accepted her hatred.
It happens often enough through out the series, it sets a definite pattern for Keith’s character. Almost like he expects people to treat him this way, and has decided that this is just how the world works for him.
It makes the scene of illusion Shiro calling him selfish all the more emotional, because for once, he isn’t passively accepting someone’s bad opinion of him. The rest of the world he expects to think of him as dirt, but Shiro is supposed to be different in his mind.
