    I have a hose hooked up at the front of the house for the next time the Mormons show up with specific details about my family.
    But id make cookies if ever a mini pride parade visited my doorstep.

    I have straight aura, and I 've been in a lot of queer spaces where people think i was the token straight, no one never tried to convert me.

    But that one time the charity i was working for found a partnership with a local catholic church, suddenly i have to explain over and over why i don’t need religion in my life.

      I have a cynical scientific aura from before 2000 that thinks talking about auras is fucking stupid. I hope it’s contagious, or that every time you say “aura” unironically a fly finds its way in your mouth.

        The majority of our thinking is subconscious and sometimes we use metaphors to explain how it communicates to our conscious.

    It’s all just engagement bait.

    Even responding to them boosts the bigot. It’s what they want.

    Dont feed the trolls” doesn’t seem to be registering anymore, though. People simply cannot help themselves and jump in, and the platforms are juicing it instead of moderating it because it’s so (at least in the short term) profitable.

    I’ve had Mormons come to the door as well so by the Pentagon’s current definition, that would be 2 religions that go door to door trying to indoctrinate you.

    You ever notice that the people who talk about “shoving guy shit down mycthroat” are usually te most racist and misogynistic ones? The whole thing is because theyre afraid of being treated like they treat women and other minorities.

      Nah, its just classic repression through homophobia. The concept of things being shoved down their throats secretly titilates them.

    i don’t think that’s entirely true. when you go on instagram today it’s basically impossible to not be told that toxic masculinity is ruining society and we need an anti-masculine movement as a solution to it. it does very much push this down people’s throats.

      You do know that instagram specifically tailors the content it shows to your interactions patterns? It adjust to trigger exactly what catches your attention. What you see is not what everyone else necessarily sees.

      Honestly that’s called your search patterns and everything that you’re actually doing. Because when I go on Instagram I don’t see any of that stuff. It’s what you’re searching for what you’re looking at and it’s the algorithm doing its job.

        yeah ok … still, i think it’s relevant to the post. the post talks about today’s movements that try to convert people by shoving it down their throat, claiming that only christians do that. so it’s relevant.

          Let’s see…“religion”, “door to door”… I can with confidence say that feminism is not a religion, and they don’t go door-to-door trying to convert people.

      Mormons, JW. I get shit in my mailbox from random churches at least twice a week. I see way more SuperJesus shirts and sweatshirts and hoodies out in public than anything with rainbows on it.

      It’s mostly virtue signaling anyway, making sure that everyone knows which group they’re in and if you’re not in, you’re out.
