Many Lgbt Teenagers And Young Adults Growing Up On The Internet Today Have Socially Conservative Beliefs

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

Just read that twitter thread on your account about being too close to his mom « weird » and « unhealthy » and oh my fucking goodness, what the fuck. Like yeah! Sometimes people are really close to their mother, ESPECIALLY in Asian cultures where family is preached the be all end all. Or you know sometimes people are isolated from peers and find friendship in parents, it isn’t « abnormal » and they don’t need fucking therapy. Like what. Also in the matter of Izuku himself, he was like being bullied from the entire class in middle school 💀. Of course he was going to find comfort in his mother. I swear, some BNHA fans have the most outrageous takes.

Sorry for the mini rant, it’s just that it’s SO frustrating when people refuse to acknowledge cultures and reason for why people have behaviours, and just settling on called them “weird”.

Also like. There’s. There’s a specific reason Izuku had no close people outside of his mom before meeting AM and entering UA. It wasn’t HIS fault, and the reason is kind of a big deal for his character????? Like, there’s a difference between emotional incest and just having your parents as you closest people.

You know. Some people could really stand to get more comfortable with the idea of “you shouldn’t say that because it’s mean”. Especially with really common body shaming and straight up bullying lines.

“You shouldn’t make ugly bald jokes because what if a transman on T sees it!”

“You shouldn’t make virgin jokes because what if someone who’s asexual sees it!”

How about you just don’t make them because they’re mean. How about people can be balding or a virgin for a number of reasons and also don’t deserve to be routinely made fun of. How about saying that the reason you shouldn’t make x joke because it spares x specific identity’s feelings also let’s them know that you actually have no problem saying or thinking bald people are ugly or virgins are stupid or etc but you’re just not saying it in front of them. How about you understand this kind of body shaming and bullying especially in a very public setting online are always going to have way more unintended damage to people who did nothing wrong than damage to the person you’re upset with.

Sometimes the best reason to not make a bad joke like that is because it’s fucking mean.
