Denial.

At one point in my life, I was in denial of who I am. I presented myself as this macho, cocky, impulsive, crude, loud, obnoxious, and edgy caricature of what I thought a man was supposed to be like. I made up this persona in my own defense. As a kid, I was bullied for being too passive, feminine, queer, shy and clean. I figured that these were the reasons that I wasn’t popular, even though I was well liked and respected. So by around 12 or 13 my persona was complete, and I really put it into practice around 14. However, I took it too far to the point where every day felt like an out of body experience, that I knew I was lying to myself and I was ruining my relationships. I was in denial, and it took a wake up call to finally realize that I need to be true to myself. By 16 I was starting to grow my hair out, started letting myself relax and let lose, learned more tasteful comedy, and realized that I didn’t care if I’m gay or straight (and I’m straight... mostly) or if I wasn’t edgy or cool. I finally started to feel like myself. I’ll be 19 in a few months, and let me tell you, there ain’t no sense in holding back who you are. I’ve made more friends and had more good times in the past 2.8 years than I ever have, and it was all due to being who I am.

Hypocracy

If Corporations can have freedom of expression then why can’t trans people? You can’t say “well, they aren’t people” as neither are corporations! And if these men and women who are afraid of trans people exploiting this to, I guess, peek in on people then why aren’t they worried about the LGB in LGBT? They’ve always been there and it also never happens, why why would it happen as often as they say with other people their same gender, just with different genitals? Corporations would exploit you in way more ways and a million times more often than some random person in the bathroom. But no, deregulate the non-people, but regulate the real people, especially if they don’t fall in line with what we think. It’s this kind of backwards reasoning that makes me frustrated with how bigoted people are towards people who are different to them. I bet if we start using “regulate” towards trans suppression of bathroom usage, then the right wing might pay attention.

Being a male feminist.

It’s a state of being both an insider and an outsider. The sad truth is that many people (especially men) are actually feminists but are avoiding “the label” associated with the “crazy, man hating, bra burning” stereotype. In order to change minds, you may need to restructure your arguments to be more effective, in order to help them realize that they are in fact a feminist. Many argue that we “no longer need feminism” but forget that it not only makes gains for women but prevents society to reverting to archaic limiting of a woman’s free will. Being against feminism means you’re against freedom, plain and simple. Take arguments like these where you reword some of the now meaningless stock phrases like “oppression” to words that resonate more with them such as “limited freedom.” Whenever someone says “people died in wars for your freedom and you’re going around and [dressing and identifying how you want to be]” and remind them that you’re expressing your fought-for freedom. This is a country where you should be able to express yourself however you want (so long as it’s not too obscene for whatever setting) and that’s exactly what we’ve “fought for” and striven to be a beacon of. It’s freedom of speech. And no true American should be opposed to that.

Depression.

I attempted suicide 4 years and 10 months ago, then again 3 years and 2 months ago, and then again almost exactly 3 years ago. It does get better. You may lose some friends but you’ll meet so many more later along the way; it’s all about weeding out who’s toxic to your well being and who is supportive and gives you direction.  And why am I writing this? Because I felt like it duh.

I pretend to be complex and clever but in reality, nothing has ever made me laugh harder than those bad Chinese subtitles from the bootleg Lord of the Rings DVDs. Tears streaming down my face, core aching, slowly suffocating because I’m laughing too hard.

I somehow forgot to add my own favorite, which is this one:

I also appreciate the ones that really change the tone and suggest that the characters openly loathe each other…

and this one, which gently encourages self-care:

is anyone else annoyed by the stereotype that young people’s phones are a loud and annoying device? because i have never heard anyone under 30 who doesn’t have their phone on vibrate. like 100% of the time if the marimba ringtone starts blaring it’s the older generations.

I know it’s old, but can’t we just give this episode a little Oscar?

[darkwee009]

I can’t believe you didn’t include the DBZ parody at the finale.

[phony-time-traveler-deactivated]

I actually had that one on my computer, but it didn’t get in!

Thanks man! This one was important.

It's like a thing you will always cringe at yourself 5 years ago. When you're 15 you'll cringe at your 10 year old self, same with 15 and 25, and so on. And the reason will always be "I knew nothing about how the world works."
