i personally go by a rule of "i'm friends with whoever i wanna be friends with regardless of what they're into and if you dont like it then suck it up and be an adult its not your place to care"
like im friends with the weirdest fucking people and i literally dont give a shit ok
as long as you're not actively abusing people or animals i kinda dont care
im friends with a literal cannibal - that checks out, don't care, go ahead
i'm friends with people who are into weird kinks im not into - cool, whatever, i think its gross, but you do you idgaf. as long as you're not fucking/beating animals or children, do whatever
i really don't fucking care honestly
and im so sick and tired of discourse like "oh but this person is into this and thats gross" yeah? and? why do i need to care about that? can you look past what a person is into and see into their soul? not everybody who likes something weird or fucked up is inherently a bad person like wtf
what if you meet the nicest person youve ever met, everyone in your friend group loves them, your parents think they're chill, they're a ray of sunshine, pure lil baby - and then MAYBE you find out they're into some weird shit, does all of the years previous mean fucking nothing and go out the window? and if yes then what the fuck is wrong with you
like you CANNOT base your opinion of someone based on what they're into like thats not fair
yeah, its weird, yeah, it's gross, i know that, but so then hate what they're into, don't hate the person like wtf
