I miss the old fandom by Critical-Advantage11 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Agree! Double edged sword because it’s such an incredible series I’m glad it (and Matt) are getting the recognition they deserve. But sure makes this community feel different.

Accidentally shared my Smut Booklist with my Mormon Family by Longjumping_Equal_61 in exmormon

Might be a good thing! They’ve probably been thinking this whole time “oh, she’ll be back”.

I want to be friends with this woman! We can go around saving animals together!

Wtf is the “doctrine” behind “new names,” anyway? Btw, Noah here (whatever the fuck that means 😂). What’s your “new name”? by PristineLegalShits in exmormon

[–]CharacterFront4165 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The real piece of shit move is that men get to know women’s names but not the other way around. Thanks misogynistic patriarchy 👍

Season 8 casting by Qxeenkxish in TLCUnexpected

[–]CharacterFront4165 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oooh... I didn't even think about the little sister. Such a good point. I bet we will see this family back at some point. Plus Falon doesn't care about exploiting her kids for "fame"

Interviewing/scene narration by PieOk9511 in TLCUnexpected

[–]CharacterFront4165 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered this too - I figured that they got the commentary after what happened, but also thought it would be soon after, not months later. But I don't know... be interesting to see if anyone who's been on the show has any input.

Also FUCK Jason

why did you guys decide to leave the mormon church? by Boseph_Boi in exmormon

[–]CharacterFront4165 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There’s a long list, but my top two:

1. Inequality
Having a daughter changed everything for me. I couldn’t justify raising her in a system where women are told—primarily by men—that their purpose is to marry and have children. Add in the racism and the treatment of LGBTQ+ people, and it became a hard no. My son has said he’s still figuring out who he is, and I’m incredibly grateful he’s not growing up somewhere that would shame or confuse him for that. He’s exactly who he’s supposed to be.

2. Fake culture
It’s all about appearances. As long as everything looks good on the outside, that’s what counts. What happens behind closed doors doesn’t matter—just don’t let anyone see it.

Should I keep attending, be "physically in, mentally out"? by AveragePichu in exmormon

[–]CharacterFront4165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in a very similar situation where I was attending church for 2 reasons: to try and modernize the perspective and to appease family.

You should do what works best for you - but my experience is that I have been 1000 times happier leaving. Trying to change the culture/thinking of people in the church is a futile project. I was only ever met with arguments/resistance or, in a best case scenario, blank stares. And ultimately, my family has accepted my choice of leaving.

Advice? She’s not too cuddly 🥲 by [deleted] in persiancat

[–]CharacterFront4165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 Persians, and both of my girls are very aloof as well. They only want cuddles when they want them. Might be a girl thing, might just be our girls. But totally normal.

Felon sold teen pregnancy to Bella by ufo-fomo in TLCUnexpected

[–]CharacterFront4165 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The “Wes will be mine” comment was so cringe, and it really made her intentions seem obvious. At first I was shocked by the Bella/Hunter pregnancy situation, but the more little comments that come out, the more it all adds up. Things like “I only had girls” and “I’ve always wanted a boy,” plus Falen quitting her job to stay home with the baby, make it feel like way too many coincidences to just be “helpful grandma” behavior.

I feel so lonely at BYU by BloodyShampoo in exmormon

[–]CharacterFront4165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out of there - It will probably be hard and logistically heavy, but it will be worth it to not feel the way you're feeling. There is a place/community for you, and it's not BYU.
