i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

something i find frustrating about Life lately is how people just absolutely refuse to experience any discomfort. and i dont mean this in the boomer "wah kids have it too easy theyre all pushovers and pussies" way, but i mean people will go crazy over anything thats not totally 100% sanitised and comfortable and pure and whatever the fuck. a show has a sex scene and you dont like it? people used to just look away for a second and maybe cringe. now it's a whole thinkpiece. people would rather ghost their friends or let issues fester rather than ever address an issue in their relationship with them. they wont let their friends vent in case it makes them uncomfortable. like can you just buck the fuck up and let things be a bit awkward sometimes? it wont kill you.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

I feel like gay men are really discouraged from talking about how much everyone hates us because we're The Privileged Queers as though that makes any sense whatsoever

It is so crazy how "gay men as rich recumbent sissies with no real problems mincing through life shrieking at every inconvenience" is literally a well-worn homophobic trope that the left still hasn't gotten over. Our community has always been hypervisible and until very recently been the boogeyman du jour representing the supposed decadence and perversion of LGBT existence. That hatred didn't go anywhere and society never actually reckoned with it, just kind of quietly stopped paying attention. And it's very present on the left!

There's things like fixation on the closeted gay conservative - a proportionally very small number of closeted gay conservative politicians get caught cruising or some shit, and the numbers get inflated in the public imagination (because gay sex is so salacious) until you have self-proclaimed allies genuinely claiming that all conservative male politicians are closeted gay men, effectively blaming fags for their own oppression. This fixation is deliberate, because it creates a socially acceptable way to express disdain for faggotry while maintaining a nominally leftist appearance. Remember how there was an obvious homophobic joke in the Epstein files and everyone took the opportunity to act like it was a smoking gun to reveal that Trump is closeted? Effectively distracting from his very real victimization of women and children to make homophobic jokes about how gross it would be to imagine him sucking Bill Clinton's dick?

There's the way that sex between men (particularly anal sex) is seen as uniquely debasing and humiliating, and misogynist/homophobic behaviors are constantly framed as Secretly Gay in an attempt to... I guess discourage those behaviors, in theory? No no it's awesome that you implied that sports teams showering together is gay and that that's gross. You're really doing the community a solid.

There's the way terms and behaviors expressing contempt for gay men (and often trans women, with whom we have historically shared a lot of spaces and who have historically dealt with a lot of similar issues by virtue of being lumped into the same group by cishets historically) keep getting co-opted and "reclaimed" by people who had no claim to them in the first place. Cis lesbians referring to themselves as "fruity", bi women doing the limp wrist, etc.

There's the way nonfags understand that saying "faggot" as a pejorative is Bad but rather than examining the prejudices that make them wanna do that they just try to find ways to do the same thing using a different word ("twink" is currently in vogue)

I can’t get behind people making fun of how they looked when they were younger or before they had a ‘glow up’ or went to the gym. I have gentleness and love for all versions of me, she just wanted to feel pretty
