Wait, you probably think I'm "racist" now but seriously, I don't understand what's wrong with the comparison unless you think you're better than animals? idk lmao please justify yourself but don't use the argument of racism or sexism or any of that bullshit please.
Using scare quotes around the word racist is not a good start when you're trying to convince people you're not one.
What is wrong with comparing people to animals?
Because throughout history it has been a justification for oppression, slavery, war, and extermination. It is a way to "other" fellow human beings and distance people from them.
Things like the Washington D.C. billboard comparing slavery to animal rights is essentially comparing african-americans to livestock, which is the very same logic that had white americans enslaving them in the first place. They're actually diminishing the crime of slavery by comparing it to something most people find completely acceptable. It's also appropriating a not-so-distant past to justify your own completely unrelated goals. Which all works to overshadow the fact that the legacy of slavery is very much with us, and racism is still very much a problem.
Think really carefully about which people PETA chooses to compare to animals. Are they EVER white males? Ever? Or are they only highly sexualized women and various minority groups? I guess they want to imply that animals are another persecuted minority group with this comparison, and as a result they're putting for example the jewish community on the same level as cows or sheep. And diminishing the Holocaust by suggesting it's only as bad as what you can find at your local McDonalds.
If you have to ask whether racism and sexism and outright genocide are worse than, say, eating a hamburger, your priorities are waaaaaaay out of wack. And that's exactly what groups like PETA do - they skew your thinking until the way your fellow human beings are treated is less important than your holy cause, and absolutely anything is acceptable if it advances your goals.
Truly thank you for those who gave me encouraging words and advice.
It did make me feel better knowing that I'm not a bad person nor should I feel that way because of someone's point of view or opinion.
Update..... We talked about it last night. And it made me feel soo much better because we got to really say what we both had to say. I was relieved that he even got to talk to his brother about it because he even understands my part. He even said that eventually I'd get over this stage, and I will. It's not like I'm going out often... Because I do not! It's not like I have extra pills on the side for "just in case". I do want to go to the rave at the end of this month at The Venue and Haunted in October. It's not even that I'm in need to roll. Not at all. I love the environment and the vibe. But we'll see when the time gets closer. I am not even going to hide anything from him because I don't need to and I don't even want to. I really hope that he won't be mad or disappointed in whatever decisions I make because I know this thing is an issue for him that turns him off.
Okay, so I love your blog so much and would die to have you follow me but I read that you don't follow people if they don't have their ages stated so I put my age on my blog. Ahahaha THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG.
Godness, people are so nice to me today x3 I appreciate the fact that you go out of your space to tell me that :)
Followed back. ^^
Thank you for putting the age in. I don't care about the age of person liking the band's music. Just my blog is heavy in sex themes so... yeah. People under 16 choose to follow me but I won't follow back because I am not comfortable with people this age perving too hard over anyone. Personal blog, personal space but I don't have to see that.
I wish I could put links in asks but Tumblr sucks. Have you seen the video where Jared jumps into the crowd and security tries pulling him out and he refuses? It's hilarious. He is too great.
I've seen plenty of videos of Jared fighting off security but one of my favorites is probably the one from Lollapalooza in 06.
You and your blog are fantastic.
Thank You <3
I'm sure you get this a lot but I love everything about your blog<3:)
Thank you :D ♥
