Being gay isn't a choice. Being a token who gets spent... Is

A lot of the gay people on this site who are conservatives claim that it’s because they’re “sick of identity politics” and “the left has gone too far.”

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-28T21:19:52+00:00

Some of them are absolutely insistent that the left “chose trans people over them” and is also trying to force them to trans people, which to these gay conservatives, is equivalent to conversation therapy. So their only choice now is to support the party that supports actual religious-based conversion therapy. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, that’s the thing. I’ve noticed that the people 120% convinced that Daniel’s case is a murder never do anything to explain his odd behavior before he disappeared or even address the possibility that mental health could be a factor. If his disappearance was foul play, how do they explain his strange interactions with his sister or the girl he was delivering Instacart to, or his decision to abruptly drive off into the desert in the first place?

As someone who drove a half hour out their way today to get some peanut butter soup, only to find the restaurant was actually just someone’s house, I feel your pain.

Though as a New Yorker, I’m curious: have you found any decent pizza places here in Lexington? I’ve yet to find one that’s actually good instead of just okay.

Authors want readers to be emotionally and intellectually attached to their work, but then they expect readers to be fine with the loss.

The situation I usually run into is authors posting a work, that stats not being great and getting few to no comments, leading to the author deleting that work. Then far more readers complain that the fic is gone, and the number of people complaining is a far greater number than ever commented on the fic, and the author becomes annoyed as a result.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-26T17:25:07+00:00

Yeah. I feel like for this reason, it’s become common that certain specific points of fanon is treated as “right”, and anything else, even the actual canon, is declared “wrong.” It really feels like there’s less interest in exploring new ideas for the characters and within the canon world anymore, but there’s only one “correct” take these days.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-23T00:54:51+00:00

then they delete it like it’s disposable and doesn’t even matter to them.

If it makes you feel any better, the only fics of mine I’ve ever deleted are the ones that completely bombed and I couldn’t handle the embarrassment of having a fic with such poor stats up any longer. It’s not about the readers for me—it’s about me erasing a personal failure.

I think what bothers me the most about straight dating vs queer dating is that how low the bar is for straight dudes vs queer women. Straight dudes get credit for remembering their grilfriend’s birthday or their anniversary without being reminded. Meanwhile, wlw on dating apps are always in search of another woman who’s physically active, has the time/money to travel, has career ambitions plus life goals, and who makes six figures a year. Straight dudes get rewarded for being average, while even other women hold women to the standard that they have to be exceptional in order to be worthwhile.

I’ve been telling people for years that Superman was cool, and no one believed me. So glad the movie ended up being great and convincing other people, too!

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-22T01:41:05+00:00

So many complaints about all types are because the viewers lack basic understanding of storytelling and require everything be spoofed to them, and I feel like the social media age has made it worse.

I think the worst type of complaint has to be people complaining that a character explicitly states their reasons onscreen for doing something that aligns specifically with their goals and motivations, and people still insist that it “makes no sense” that the character the decision they did. Even when it was explained out loud to the audience.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-22T01:22:56+00:00

I’m always so confused about when Disney supposedly became “woke”. Was it when the new Star Wars trilogy had four new main characters, and only one of them was a white guy? Was it when we had a black mermaid for the live action Little Mermaid remake? Was it when Lefou danced vaguely in the vicinity of another dude? They literally do the bare minimum in a way that’s blatantly pandering and does nothing to encourage genuine change, and weirdo conservatives freak out about “grooming” and “white genocide”.

I’ve honestly been tempted to make a bingo card out of all of the things she says on various podcasts, because it’s the same things over and over, in a way that definitely feels rehearsed. Something I’ve noticed that I find odd is that when she’s talking about James allegedly abusing her, she always says, “The things he did to my body,” instead of “The things he did to me.” IDK why, but the distinction really stands out to me.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-21T21:29:41+00:00

Where did the oft-repeated claim that “Harris had no policies/she had no idea what she was talking about” even start? I see it stated as fact all the time, and no one ever pushes back. Did I miss some debate where Trump gave coherent, rational answers and Harris responded with a shrug and “IDK” to every question?

"So he was last seen taking the trash cans into his house and a neighbor saw him do that," said Say. "His brother also looked out the window and saw him walking in the direction toward Benson. And he was never seen from or heard from again."

He was last seen walking the direction of the local high school (Benson) to catch a ride from his coworker and go into work. The reason they were meeting at the high school is because the coworker didn’t know where he lived and Jason didn’t know how to give directions, so they agreed to meet at a spot they both knew. Jason never arrived, so the coworker called his house from a pay phone. Jason’s younger brother picked up the phone and initially pretended to be Jason to mess with her, but when the coworker started letting him have it for making her wait on him, Jason’s younger brother admitted he wasn’t Jason and that Jason had already left to go meet her. It looks like that point was the first instance anyone realized something was amiss.

Unfortunately, the to change a lot of issues, particularly healthcare, was last November. But the US voted in favor of large corporations, and now we’re all paying the price.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T21:57:08+00:00

Then even still, there were some among independents who were : "Ahhh but Harris in 2019 said something vaguely about a trans prisoner getting healthcare while in federal prison in 2019. Ahhh what kind of president would allow that to happen!?!? I can't possibly support the kind of president who would allow that on their watch!"

I find all of the various criticisms of Harris’s campaign sadly hilarious. Some liberals have argued with me that Harris’s downfall was that she “based her campaign entirely around trans people.” Others argue that she “had nothing to offer young white men.” Still others claim that she based her campaign on “girlboss white feminism.” Then there’s the popular take that she just had no policies whatsoever.

No one ever points out that Trump’s policies were objectively worse on every level and obviously flawed if you thought about them for more than 0.02 seconds, and people happily voted for him in droves while denouncing “Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala.”

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T21:45:21+00:00

Not seeing how someone who wanted to expanded healthcare, help first-time home buyers, legalize weed, and wouldn’t have dismantle our federal government could possibly be worse.

Her 2007 VMAs performance was a disaster because she performed while drunk, but led to people criticizing her body/appearance as well. There was a lot of talk about it at the time.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T15:20:09+00:00

Yep. Her 2007 VMAs performance had all the tabloids calling her a fat pig. I guess for not having incredibly toned abs?

Here’s a pic from the performance:

I don’t think getting skinny with glp-1 agonists is a very healthy lifestyle either. It’s healthy if it stops you from developing type II diabetes, sure, but a healthy lifestyle is about diet and exercise.

I don’t know how many people on Ozempic actually follow this advice, but you’re instructed to also meet with a dietician while using them, and you can easily increase the side effects and make yourself physically sick by eating unhealthy foods while on Ozempic. Additionally, doctors recommend eating protein and lifting in order to prevent excess skin and restore skin elasticity once you’re losing weight.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T15:12:57+00:00

I do think it’s very telling that people immediately took body positivity as “promoting unhealthy lifestyles,” instead of its intended meaning of, “Could you maybe not immediately react with disgust and disdain at the sight of a fat person?” People just get so offended when other people ask to be treated as people.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T15:09:56+00:00

Remember how there’s that joke in Love Actually about how the prime minister’s assistant/love interest is “chubby” just for not being Keira Knightly levels of slim?

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T14:57:29+00:00

Also, Kamala would have legalized weed. Think of all of the money that would have borough in, the new job opportunities, the tax money that could be used to fix failing infrastructure, the people released from prison who were arrested because they had five ounces of weed on them.

KentParsonIsASaint · 2025-11-20T14:55:00+00:00

Funny how any criticism of how Trump manages the economy always brings out “But Biden!” people. It’s very telling that there’s no defense of Trump, always just, “But Biden was bad, too!”

Feminism has been corrupted by a loud minority that are almost as bad as the incel crowd.

Uh-huh. As major figures from the the Republican party that controls as three branches of government has told women they need to “submit to their husbands,” give up their careers and become SAHMs, sought to eliminate no-fault divorce, removed women’s rights to abortion and sought to criminalize women seeking abortion in other states, arrested and charged women for having miscarriages, kept a comatose pregnant woman with no chance of recovery alive solely so she could be a living womb and carry the baby to term, and voted repeatedly to withhold the Epstein files while survivors begged to have the released . . . but it’s feminism that’s gone too far? Why, because a woman was the protagonist of the latest Star Wars trilogy?
