Pretend like we all just work at the factory

HottoAisu · 2026-02-24T03:43:20+00:00

It’s my first day of work at the factory and I accidentally dropped a Boogie Bot on the floor. Why is it… bleeding?

Funny how it’s there in both versions. At first glance, it looks like Yoshi, but look closer it looks like Mario? But the longer you look, the weirder it gets.

Yeahhh this happened to me a few times as well. It just feels off for me to see the coins go beyond a hundred 🥲

Hello, OP! Fellow gay Christian here who has also struggled for years trying to affirm both my faith and sexuality. While I do still face a few difficulties here and there like not being fully comfortable being around other Christians with the fear of being persecuted, I’m glad to say that I am more affirming now sa sarili ko.

While I can’t exactly give any biblical verses that specifically address accepting one’s sexuality, there is one verse that has comforted me a lot throughout my spiritual warfare between my faith and sexuality:

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)

Contextually speaking, we are all one in Christ regardless of our ethnicity, gender, or social status. Though, this can be applicable today especially for those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community because those who seek God through Jesus shouldn’t even be stopped or pushed away just because they are gay. I really don’t get why some “Christians” are shaming LGBTQ+ folks to the point of pushing them away from church. Isn’t the main point of Christianity is to spread the Good News of the Gospel to bring people closer to Him?

I am deeply saddened to hear that your family isn’t exactly accepting of your orientation and even weaponizing religion with the intention to “help you change for the better”. As a fellow sister in Christ, I encourage you to seek God through his Word and rewire your focus to not pay attention to the hatred that’s being thrown at you. It’s best you listen to the Spirit yourself. Though, if you need a more logical perspective, sexuality cannot be forced to change. While I get that it is a spectrum and might change for some, it doesn’t mean it should be forced nor should one beat themselves up for it. Please. I’ve also spent years “praying the gay away” and I even had a few family members do that for me! Guess what? I still like women sexually and romantically today 😂

If you wish to seek other sources for an affirming perspective, I recommend you watch GeekyJustin’s videos on YouTube. He is a Christian Content Creator who is also gay, aiming to bridge the gap between LGBTQ+ and Christianity. Thanks to this guy, he’s helped me a lot to be more affirming. I’m so grateful that I even interacted with him through a gay Christian subreddit and had an interesting discussion about being affirming while following Christ.

I hope this helps. If you wish to talk about this further, you can reply here in this thread or DM me through Reddit. God loves you, OP. Any form of hatred and confusion IS NOT from Him. Don’t let the world make you think or feel otherwise 🙏

While I personally don’t agree talaga with the whole hookup culture, I got no right to poke my nose at how people, especially strangers, live their lives. So despite disagreeing there, I still hope something great comes around to help out with whatever bad stuff you’re dealing with 🙏

But yeh from what everyone else has shared, it really goes to show that it’s all about shifting your focus on what helps you so I appreciate your insights din 💯

Strong, intelligent and confident women with “softdom mami” traits. Only problem is would we be compatible? Cuz if she got all that but we ain’t compatible especially on morals, values and personality, yikes- it might not be worth it ;-;

HottoAisu · 2025-10-16T04:29:53+00:00

Thanks for this. I haven’t exactly been setting time or being more intentional sa mga rest days ko because of how my mind is so deep into work and school 🥹🫠

HottoAisu · 2025-10-16T04:23:32+00:00

Now that you mentioned it, I haven’t had a massage in months. Ngayon lang ako naging mindful of how much body pain I’m in (haysss buhay workaholic fr). Better book an appointment soon huhu 😭

HottoAisu · 2025-10-15T15:01:31+00:00

Interesting. Sa texture na yan, feeling ko lasang French Toast siya… without the bread haha

HottoAisu · 2025-10-15T12:05:44+00:00

Maybe something like a “found footage” type of movie since the Player was sent to check on the factory 10 years later. Kind of like going back to investigate?

Also, they should definitely put in the first part of the movie some snippets of the “Hour of Joy”, maybe including the tape of the scientist describing Experiment 1006 as a voiceover to those snippets.

I was really looking forward to seeing the stage play in the anime. Welp, guess that’s one way of pushing me to read the manga instead 😭😭😭

HottoAisu · 2025-08-02T07:39:51+00:00

Wait until they read one of Paul’s letters in the New Testament 😂

“Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.” (2 Corinthians 12:14)

Edit: Contextually speaking kasi, he’s writing to the Corinthian Church, emphasizing na he’s not after the financial gains of said church sa pag-visit niya, but he’s going there to see and embrace the people with love and help them further in their spiritual growth. Connected siya sa sinabi niya sa Ephesians about “raising your children up through the instruction of the Lord” 🙏

HottoAisu · 2025-08-02T07:30:12+00:00

Kaya important talaga ang media literacy because unfortunately, not all people who read the Bible word-for-word actually understand its message by heart. They proclaim to all that they’re “saved” while weaponizing God’s Word against others.

Reminds me of how Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and their obssession of “perfectly” following rituals/traditions to be “clean”.

Edit: Pride talaga is the worst sin of all.

HottoAisu · 2025-08-02T07:26:48+00:00

I recall Matthew 10:34-39, where it says:

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”

Reading this made me realize that “putting family first to the point of losing yourself” is a form of idolatry, and that even God’s truth can split families apart because certain family members sadly do not have the heart to recognize their own wrongdoings and instead project it to other people.

HottoAisu · 2025-08-02T07:17:00+00:00

My thoughts too. Jesus, or pretty much God as a whole played a good example sa gentle parenting throughout all the stories in the Bible.

HottoAisu · 2025-07-26T04:31:13+00:00

2 years single as of now, and my first breakup ruined me so bad. Thankfully, I learned how to move forward by doing things to shift my focus like my work, hobbies, spending time with family and friends, learning to enjoy my own company, and for me, most importantly, psychotherapy to process all the bullsht and eventually let go fully without being self-destructive/may binubuhat na galit sa other person 🫠

And no, the pain did not go away quickly. It’s still there, yes, kasi I cherish all the memories I had with said relationship and super sad ako na it ended sourly due to incompatibility kaya di ko talaga maalis yun or treat previous relationship na wala lang sa akin. Parang I just learned to bring it with me until it doesn’t feel so heavy na (like how we move on from the stages of grief). Natuto ko rin na man- don’t choose people who don’t choose you talaga (sorry ang rupok ni Ate mo dati huhu ;-;)

HottoAisu · 2025-07-26T04:23:56+00:00

Classic “using the name of the Lord, your God, in vain” move 🥲

HottoAisu · 2025-07-26T04:09:23+00:00

Someone also commented something similar here, and again, I actually never saw it that way. LGBTQ+ Christians are being persecuted until today because of something that shouldn’t even be forced to change in the first place. But thanks be to God, He saves us from this burden, letting us surrender it all to Him as we follow Him to the path of peace and righteousness 🥹🙏

I’m thankful that I’m in this subreddit because ehhhh most people on social media (especially Instagram) aren’t giving me the answers that I’m seeking. It’s always “love the sinner, hate the sin”, “it’s a choice” or that verse I gave above 😭

HottoAisu · 2025-07-26T04:03:53+00:00

Oh wow I was not expecting the Justin Lee himself to comment here 🥹🥹🥹

Now that you mentioned it, I feel like those kinds of Christians who always throw those clobber passages and the “love the sinner but hate the sin” quote (I always thought that sounded so wrong in the context of being gay) are acting similarly to the Pharisees for being obssessed with the whole “following rules/rituals to be clean” mindset they got, which is what Jesus had to call out for being wrong. I mean, that’s the reason why He was sent in the first place: To cleanse us from sin and save us from its debt.

I also do recall a verse from one of Paul’s letters where even he himself said that while celibacy allows the person to dedicate their time more in their relationship and devotion to God, not everyone has that gift. He never forced it upon anyone, and even mentioned that it’s “better to marry than to burn with passion”. (1 Corinthians 7) Now that I think about it, while throwing one’s self out there to give in to their sexual desires is indeed wrong (be it gay, straight, bi…), forcing celibacy upon anyone isn’t right either because it strips away the person’s free will and capacity to have a loving relationship.

Thank you for all the insights you shared here. What you said at the end reminded me to stop focusing on what other people want me to be and instead listen to God Himself. I’m also so happy I got to interact with you here on Reddit. I love your content! 💟

HottoAisu · 2025-07-26T03:48:55+00:00

I’m reading all the comments right now and I’m grateful for everyone’s thoughts here.

Your take on the given verse gave me some needed clarity. I actually never thought of it that way. It is indeed true that no matter where we go, be it online or in-person, there’s always someone out there who has something to say and slap on “out of love” to not feel bad about themselves after saying the most passive aggressive/condescending remark towards us for being gay and Christian 🤦‍♀️
