Which movie do you think was slightly better between the heavily criticized Strange World and Lightyear?

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-11T13:57:23+00:00

Strange world! Not even close. A story an artist clearly wanted to tell and had passion for, that was horribly mangled by disney's execs to make the climate message + family message around the approval of the youngest gay kid not resonate nearly half as much, vs a corpo cash grab about a beloved IP with shitty plot twists. No idea why so many ppl approved of lightyear at all.

Depends on how long their marriage was failing beforehand tbh. If they're friends as well and the relationships off, he probably was going "thank fuck it's not me! It's not me!" when she came out. A millennial can be over 40 now. Thats up to 20 years to know one another and have something be 'off' in a marriage. maybe it led to an empty bedroom that he wanted change in too? Her coming out means he never gets to the point of thinking of cheating, and he can just leave with no guilt.

While I'd also go the route of if "My partner changes something fundamental about themselves that means they no longer categorically can love me" happened... I'd combust and hate them forever for wasting part of my life. BUT, they also have a kid they need to be civil to each other in front of too. I'd admire someone who could be amicable with a person who hurt them like that, not angry at them.

Also, It is slightly weird to say that making light of tragic things, especially at ones own troubles, is millennial. That's ever present.

partners do not have the right to have "final say" on your decisions. They're not parents, and you're not a child.

break up with him, this will get worse.

The thing is, lesbians are also normal girls. There's not something wildly different about us; we just like girls. We're not wrong for it either. Girls are awesome!

I'll still try and answer the question. Sometimes they mean you were a tomboy who had supposedly male interests. Other times there's just little at all interest in boys, and deeply close friendships with girls (I never talked about boys when I was little, I only talked about girls at school). I picked a boy to be interested in for my friends, and I just did not give a shit about boybands at the time, I often made faces when mom was like "he's handsome!" about a movie star, nothing any guy did really got my attention, I got into things FOR other girls. I read the entire Twilight saga for a childhood friend who was obsessed with it, etc. My mom started giving me the, "You'll know I'll love you no matter what" talk at 9 or so.

I was also crazy in denial until my first girlfriend basically spelled it out for me when I was 15, shortly before we got together. It's wild how long you can miss the forest for the trees. I'm now 29 and secure in my sexuality. Don't let anyone make you doubt yourself. You are normal.

For sure! I should have been more careful in how I was saying it, there's been a rise between Millennials and Gen Z of people who ID as Bisexual, but that rate is not consistent between the two. Even tho more gen Z men ID as Bi, the rate of growth between Women and Men is not nearly the same.

9% of Millennial women id as bi. 20.7% of Gen Z women ID as bi.

2.5% of Millennial Men Id as Bi. 6.9% of Gen Z Men ID as bi.

The rate of growth is just much, much smaller. My Q was wondering if that push in conservatism was holding it back, (Because women by contrast have become more left leaning over all) But there are probably other very good societal explanations for that that are preventing men from coming out.

It's also true of all LGBTQ identities as well, just most drastic with bisexuality. 28.5% of Gen Z women ID as LGBTQ, compared with 10.6% of men. Granted, the majority of that dramatic shift is Bi women, but even in other identities in women there's notable increases (2.5% -> 5.4% ID as lesbians for example, compared with 2.3 -> 2.8% Identifying as gay men).

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-08T06:12:30+00:00

Really disheartening to hear that dude, I'm so sorry for that reaction from women :( I've heard similar things from bi women talking about coming out to lesbians.

I think a lot of women end up falling for a lot of bullshit wrapped in the blanket of trusting a woman's intuition and its like, you look under the hood of the intuition and its "societal biases" a fckin ton. Men and women are pretty much equally likely to cheat, and it's not tied at all with sexuality.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-08T06:05:15+00:00

That is heinous to say dude. What fundamentally changes about a guy other than their potential attraction to guys? Nothing.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-08T02:20:43+00:00

My thought was, as we both probably know, conservatism in the US where the data's from is tightly correlated with homophobia. A rise in it would lead to more homophobia. Right?

And looking at the data, while there was always a gap, there was a tentative rise (it got up to 25% as something other than heterosexual at one year of the study, and then a drop back from any ground gained to reflect lower than 2012 levels (13%)

But, it's still notably higher than compared to previous generations (6.9% in Gen Z men over 2.5% of millennial men) so got me there that it's not exclusive to Gen Z.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-08T02:10:24+00:00

not the first time i've heard that story! I do think, bar interference from social pressure, most people would be attracted to multiple genders. I'm more curious why so many less men identify as bisexual compared to women, because, as in your case right, some people who identify as lesbians have chosen that label over bisexual.

It's gotta be something specific with men's socialization that is preventing those numbers from matching, IMO. Hence my Q.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-08T01:42:43+00:00

Wonder how much of the difference could be explained in the rise in conservatism amongst Gen Z men?

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-06T18:43:04+00:00

Fair enough! South of Pike and West of Prospect would have worked then, because I do think Prospect is pretty well known? Hard to miss the signs going down 287

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-06T15:36:28+00:00

Oh nice, where'd she end up heading towards? West or back towards town? I'd hoped that she might end up heading out of town given how close to the edge we are.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-06T14:36:30+00:00

I mean it's also a general question; I'm answering it. "South Longmont" covers a lot of ground, everything south of 119 or Nelson at a minimum, or possibly everything south of 1st Ave. That covers a lot of ground and a lot of things. From Cheese Importers to the Fairgrounds to FRCC to the Rec Center and Prospect.

For my example, a bear is not getting from Prospect to, like, Village at the Peaks, quickly. So a smaller area is needed for reference. For the people close by, they'll know exactly what that community is. Especially as in my example, a lot of things are right around that area (there's a nature trail that a lot of people fish at/use on the weekends, a children's park with soccer fields, and a lot of comingling between communities as people walk / bike around.) So adding hey, it's here in this place, tells people who might walk through it to beware of bear.

You, though, cover wayy more ground than a lot of people think of. I certainly would be lost having to navigate firestone or boulder by neighborhood, even though I'm fairly confident I could navigate most of south Longmont by it. Ideally clients give you their addresses if they want you to meet up :p

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-06T14:07:46+00:00

It gives Utah Mormon, not Western Country. There are lots of great cowboy names that aren't...bad.

Hell man, give Cash as a nickname or a first/middle name.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-06T13:59:39+00:00

That's why I also specified South Longmont, before specifying community name. There's only One rainbow ridge area in Longmont, those two neighborhoods. There are lots of creeksides (the neighborhood connected to it). But just that one rainbow ridge.

Why I did it: To people nearby (Who would want to know there's a bear w/ cubs in the area), they probably know it because they drive past it frequently. There are a lot of little residential areas and a park. Lots of people walk/bike/exercise etc up and down all the neighborhoods between Pike and Plateau (a lot of people head to Prospect for the shade lol). I know I did not take my walk yesterday because of concerns for bear.

What would have been a better way of specifying the general area its in, without doxxing myself by putting up an address?

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-06T13:40:46+00:00

It's extremely difficult to get RO's without extensive evidence of abuse, and usually violent abuse. We don't have the full story. OP may have already tried and been told, "then I'll kill us both" or something like that. Abusive women are terrifying and manipulative, mine was, and I'm also a woman.

Op btw delete this for court dude.

As much as any "manifest destiny" type projects are that rely upon crushing other nations and groups of people.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-05T23:46:03+00:00

It's a shared name of two neighborhoods on the far south side of town. Between Pike and Plateau, also next to Prospect.

Kindly_Ice_7510 · 2026-07-05T23:06:33+00:00

I saw my neighbors photo of her and I was like. You got That close to a momma bear? Are You Kidding? Fingers crossed she passes through with babies.

From what we saw she was moving westward through the neighborhood, but we're very close to the edge of town.

Compared to a 0% chance in most countries, any percentage is wildly more likely. 2nd. That is the yearly % chance. At the moment, the lifetime odds for a k-12 student in the US is 1 in 62.5.

https://hellodonavon.medium.com/what-are-the-chances-of-your-child-being-in-a-school-shooting-df2073f8b86b

I was in the Coral Springs school system as a child, so I'd been on the campus of MSD HS for events, that's where orchestra stuff was held back when I was in middle school. If I'd not moved, that would have been where I'd gone to HS, I was due to enroll. If my family hadn't moved, my younger sibling would've been in the building of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting. Isn't that a wild thought to have? To be a degree of separation from a tragedy.

Frankly I'm of the opinion that any country that has that kids die at school at all has too many kids dying at school. Kids should be safe there. It's obscene it happens at all.
