Well, there is a difference between being a person who's open for debate and can respect your opposing ideologies and being a complete jackass who goes around insulting you for not agreeing with their opinions.
If you're the former then yeah I can fuck with you, but if you're the latter then lol absolutely not.

about get to know you
i’m curious bc i know this person who has completely different views than i do and they recently posted about how different political views doesn’t mean mean we still can’t be friends but their views in general (not just political but also on issues like racism etc.) are way too different to mine. i just wanted to know if it’s bad to drop friendships/relationships based on different views since i know everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and such
about real life problems
Here's the thing, no one is denying that it's fictional. Let's get that out of the way right now. Unless that shit says "based on a true story" on the front, there's no reason to assume otherwise.
But the issue is that we have a bunch of straight girls deciding that a medium depicting gay people isn't affecting anyone. Because apparently they're the authority on the matter, and not the people depicted in said mediums.
When you say "it's just fiction, it doesn't affect reality", you don't get to make that claim that for everyone. The most you can say is it's not affecting YOUR reality, because it's literally not. At all. Which I'm more than happy for you that it's not, I really truly am. I and every other lgbt person on this site would love to say the same, believe me.
But you don't get to decide for a completely different demographic of people what does and doesn't have real-life consequences for them. That is not your place, not your call to make.
If you wanna make that claim about shoujo, or if you wanna make that claim about hentai, then by all means make that claim. Tell us your grievances and if people have any shred of decency they'll listen and try to be part of the solution. But ya'll don't do that for us, and you really need to start.
By no means am I saying you shouldn't read yaoi. But what I am saying is that ya'll need to stop trying to justify the problems when we present them to you, or claim that they aren't actually problems at all, or that we're just blowing things out of proportion, or that "yaoi is for straight people anyways". You've been shutting people down every damn time for YEARS and it cannot continue any longer.

about tried to kill yourself
What am I doing?
[Question]

Today, I tried self harming and it didn't hurt or bleed sadly but then I realised what I was doing. Self harming is wrong and idk why I did that even though I know there's nothing wrong with me (I think). Now I am confused. My life isn't bad and I think I'm happy. I didn't have a hard time today (I think), I was just really nervous about a family gathering. What does this mean? I mean maybe it has the fact that I remember hating my cousins for a reason I forgot?? Anyways, am I just seeking attention or is there something wrong with me??? Am I just being stupid???
