I just wanted to update yall on the clovergender/kindergender thing now that I’m home from work and I’m still seeing it on my dash and in tags. It was started on various forums like /pol/ and reddit /sjwhate. Literally to make fun of “special snowflakes” as well as people that have different names for different sexualities. The whole “child trapped in an adult’s body attracted to children” is literally almost a direct comment taken from one of these forums.
It’s literally a joke. A troll. To make fun of sjw. The blogs popped up all around the same couple day time period.
So can we… stop.. feeding into trolls. Like pls lmao. It’s really a few second google search to add things up.
Like I’m sorry but so many people fell for that I can’t believe it. Not to make fun of anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings or anything, I totally get it, when actual pedophiles are continuously coming up with different names and communities to hide in and to disconnect themselves from the word “pedophile” then it’s hard to not be on the lookout and feel like it’s better to be safe than sorry.
But sometimes when something seems too ridiculous to be true, it really is too ridiculous to be true.

… . and this is just what I came up with in a pretty lazy google search in an hour, including distractions where I went down the research rabbit-hole for a bit because holy crap some of that stuff’s NEAT, guys!
And I know I’m missing stuff, because I wanted a citation for every single thing I put on there.
Yes, there have been some really bad things that have happened in 2016. There have also been a number of huge fucking miracles, and SIMILAR bad things have always happened, just about every damn year – maybe not to you, or maybe they didn’t make the news, and maybe you just don’t remember any of the good because of that whole massive Negative Bias problem that human brains have, but?
A lot of good shit happened. A lot.
And like I do actually get the sudden overwhelmed feeling of EVERYTHING SUCKS? but that mindset is, at this point, literally our worst enemy. “Everything is terrible somebody do something” helplessness is what will in fact consign us to everything BEING terrible.
Everything is not terrible. In fact there are new ways, every single month, wherein new opportunities and miracles are happening and no that does not balance out the bad shit but it gives every reason to FIGHT the bad shit, and to get past the bad shit, and to make sure the bad shit ISN’T the overwhelming stain.
So.

why am i so tired for no reason 🙁
