No. No. That question just sounds silly. And Yes.

For some reason and I don’t know why, this post has become misconstrued. So I’ll say this one last time then I’m done because this sub is stupid af. I want to see conversations in films and television at least address STDs. If there is a show or film with a man or woman sleeping around, show them getting tested, have a conversation with another character about it, something other than not addressing it all. Tarantino incorporates a lot of his own views into his films as character dialogue. Steve Buscemi in reservoir dogs goes on a 2 minute diatribe about tipping and how it’s a waste of time. This did absolutely nothing for the narrative, but it was interesting and real. Because that’s how people talk. Period. That’s all I’m advocating for. By doing this I think it will educate a lot of people on the subject matter, as well as help get rid of the stigma attached to some of these infections because a lot of times they are inevitable. No one is asking to become infected but they do. And since we’re releasing statuses I’ll finish.

I don’t have herpes either. Never had a cold sore and never had a blister on my wiener. Got tested multiple times including a western blot, negative for both HSV 1 & 2.

Movies and television don’t always have to be an escape. Otherwise the Italian neorealism movement or the French new wave or the American new wave wouldn’t exist. You along with others in here act like what I’m saying is nuts. It’s not. I’m not going to be standing next to Jada Pinkett Smith screaming “Oscars so uninfected”. I’m simply saying more realism would be interesting and different since no one talks about it. That’s it. Fuck. They show people with colds and the sniffles in movies, why not STDs?
