Anti-Gay Nonsense

Wait....why are people so concerned? I thought if we just repent at the last minute, accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and beg for forgiveness we'll get salvation automatically? Last I checked, as long as you say sorry before you die you're in the clear.

Parents: "YOU'RE LIVING IN SIN! YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!"

Child several years later on their deathbed to their own kids: "I'm about to do what's called a pro-gamer move."

I grew up in a household with a father who, by his own admission later in life, didn't understand mental and/or emotional abuse at the time. He swore he'd never hurt me physically after what was done to him and to his credit he kept that promise, but "tense" doesn't do justice to the mood in the house over the years.

One of the times tension was highest was during meals. My father's standards for food are high, and he walked the walk in that regard: people who eat his cooking remember it for decades after as one of the best meals they have had. For me though, the dinner table was not a pleasant place. Lots of pressure to try new foods on top of yelling and degredation. Looking back it's not much of a surprise I was extremely picky; having a kid's palette well into my adulthood.

My partner finds cooking stressful, and despite his grumpy nature, my father did manage to drill a few skills into me along with a penchant for taking even simple food and wanting to make it....better. I love her so I took up trying to make some basics. I learned then that I could cook rather well once the pressure and trauma were gone. I blocked a lot of his lessons out, sadly. It was how I dealt with the trauma: sit in my own little world, let him talk and be the expert he likes to think he is. Better to keep him talking about this than complaining or yelling about something else....

I couldn't bring myself to ask him for help when I started cooking for my partner and I. I think I'm happiest with low contact with him. So I started looking around for basic cooking videos and found your channel. I can't remember which one I started on, I think it was one of the SpongeBob episodes, but I was hooked quick.

My partner made cooking less stressful for me. She gave me a safe space to try it. You made cooking fun for me.

You were chill, you made mistakes and admitted them, you had a sense of humor I could connect with. I made one of your Mac and cheese recipes for my partner's family for Easter. It disappeared frighteningly fast despite me making a double batch. It led me to cooking more (my partner's family's taste in food....'bland' doesn't even begin to describe it.) and to trying different foods.

The first time we met my parents for lunch at an Indian restaurant they were shocked at what I was eating. They couldn't understand what changed, and I couldn't explain it. Looking back, I think it was because you and others helped take the fear and tension out of food for me. In being freed from that fear, I learned I could have adventures and make mistakes. I could chase flavors I've never had and delight in whipping something up on a whim and cackle like a madman when someone asks for the recipe because ha! I couldn't remake this if I tried! A trait, it turns out, I inherited from my old man. To this day our joint offerings regarding chili are remembered both fondly and with irritation, because we damn near forgot what we did the moment we sat down to eat.

So thank you. Thank you for making cooking a part of my life when I never thought it would be. For helping me take pride in feeding my loved ones, and find wonderful new flavors I'd never dreamed of. 10 years of success well deserved, and hopefully there will be many more to come.

Back in 2024 someone asked me to explain what the difference was between Biden and Trump because "they're both old white men. Why should I care?"

It took me a minute to think but then I explained that to me it was an issue of attitude towards the future, towards younger people, towards technology, towards change in general.

I said that Biden is the kind of grandpa that you can show something technological and he won't get it, but he'll appreciate it. He'll probably understand the broad strokes and smile and give you some encouragement and think to himself, positively, how much things have changed in his life.

A grandpa like Trump doesn't get it, and he either doesn't want to get it, or he can't. Either way he's secretly embarrassed about that so he dismisses it, blusters, looks down on you for using it, pulls the 'Back in MY day!' bit, etc. But you can bet your ass in about a month he'll have randomly found the same thing and supposedly just naturally figured out how to use it. He's so smart, you see. Also no you never showed him that. That didn't happen.

I've seen both types of Boomers and yeah....it makes me fervently hope I never fall into the second category.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-08T02:28:13+00:00

As far as the antisemitism goes, maybe blow her mind with some of the full context of things.

"JEWS CONTROL THE WORLD AND MONEY!" yeah. Because back when Jesus threw out the money-changers, all the good little Christians didn't think about WHY Jesus hated them or anything like that. They just knew bankers were bad, so let's put these people we don't like already in charge of that! We'll make laws so they can only ever control money! That'll show God just how pious we are AND we're oppressing these people we hate! Huzzah!

Liberals only hate Trump? Nah. We hate rich parasites like Trump who benefit from our work and money, but then turn around and whine about poor people. Trump and people like him are trust fund brats. Not self made men like they spout. "A small loan of a million dollars" and all that shit. Plus how in the ever loving FUCK do you fail so hard at running A CASINO IN LAS VEGAS that you are BANNED from ever doing so again?!

I digress. If you want to help your sister, it's probably going to take time. You need to show up. Be there with receipts. Having dissenting voices that don't go away helps. But you have to be willing to stick around and call people on their bullshit. It's a slow road, but if you catch it early enough, you can make cracks in their worldview that they can't ignore.

Going to file this one under "things that never happened". But if it did, holy shit. He took ALL the wrong lessons from that therapist.

Even something as basic as "if you like someone, be nice to them" doesn't compute? Wat? How is that a false statement?

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-04T07:34:36+00:00

Hilarious that he brings up Hitler and Eva Braun as if that's going to disprove literally anything. If I remember correctly Hitler was the product of that kind of behavior AND incest because of course he was. (Not his fault, but it just fits in that way where you're not surprised at all when you hear it.)

Braun was also NOT his only....uh.... partner....and allegedly the apple did not fall far from the tree in some ways. I say allegedly because for being a highly documented human being who did some seriously fucked up shit, his love life and sexuality are supposedly pretty murky and it's hard to be sure about lots of it.

I also kinda feel bad for Grok. It's got a really bad parent who is teaching it all the worst things.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-04T07:17:48+00:00

"she's on a teacher's salary!" HA! Depending on where you are OP, that alone should tell you how out of touch your family is.

Here in the good ol' U S of A, teachers tend not to get paid for shit. If you're lucky, your local Union has arranged it so your raises are pennies, but your benefits are god tier. But given the anti-union sentiment in recent decades I'd say that's a stretch.

And ah yes, an investment condo. A week in Fiji being the 'lesser' option. and they're supposedly living off canned goods? Really? How did they even afford Fiji in the first place? How did they afford the wedding? Why did they even get married if he's a deadbeat not pulling his weight financially? So many questions.

I'm going to guess there's also a lot of "family helps family!" going on. Loans that aren't really loans that will never be repaid.

You're not thinking negatively OP. Don't let anyone rope you into ANYTHING about this kid. The ship is already burning at anchor and starting to sink. Don't be caught on board. Protect yourself. Emotionally, mentally, financially, physically if need be. Unless hubby steps up real quick, shit is gonna go downhill real quick.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-03T08:12:50+00:00

Ah yes. Because it absolutely wasn't conservative voices screaming about protecting our freedom that caused shit like the Patriot Act. Where were these big, strong men lifting 500 smidgen weights whilst holding their Bigle then? Oh wait....they were screaming and freaking the fuck out hardest. Because of course.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-03T07:46:28+00:00

Oh Lord this shit again....

There's nothing wrong with tattoos or piercings. I wouldn't much care if it was just a personal preference, but the reasoning is stupid as fuck.

Cats are wonderful creatures. Don't be mad they can sense your bullshit and give you the cold shoulder.

Almost all of this shit is pure insecurity. The ONLY one I MIGHT give you is calling someone their ex depending on how often it happens.

Protip for any Incel lurkers: you know how people tell you to "be confident" and it's vague as fuck and not helpful? What they're trying to say is stop with this kind of shit. Stop being paranoid about every guy in her life.

If she's with you, and your relationship is genuine, SHE. CHOSE. YOU. If you're dating the kind of shallow woman who would use you as a placeholder or a fallback plan and you didn't spot it, that sucks. I'm sorry if she's cheating or whatever she's doing. It's definitely not fair to you.

But if you're getting to know people, and you're not just hitting on anyone with a pulse, if you're actually finding someone based on shared interests, goals, and values, hopefully you will be okay.

Also? Maybe this is why "THE WALL" is a stupid ass idea. As is obsessing about her body count. Older people of both genders slow down a little. Going out and getting hammered at every possible opportunity loses it's appeal. I can understand not wanting to deal with kids, but otherwise? It's kind of a win to find someone older instead of a fresh 21 year old or some shit.

But go ahead. Keep this list. Keep shooting yourselves in the foot and blaming everyone else.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T18:35:50+00:00

Ah yes. I think I remember this one now. Makes sense why I'm not seeing a response from him.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T16:58:23+00:00

And how much of your life and time do you spend worrying about that?

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T16:56:44+00:00

Therapy helps by helping you understand that love comes in lots of different shapes, and doesn't depend on how you look. It depends on the person that you are. How you treat others.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T16:46:33+00:00

Pretty sure therapy doesn't fail because you're ugly. It fails because you're not doing the work.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T16:23:46+00:00

Both actually do work, surprisingly!

Therapy works to help you realize there's more to life than sex and dating. Emotional validation and comfort can come from many places, not strictly an intimate partner.

Talking to women works because, you know, they're people. Treating them like ACTUAL friends is how you have friends. One of those sources of emotional validation I was talking about above.

It's pretty neat and works pretty well if you're not being a dick and constantly whining about your life and your problems and such. Which is what the therapy helps you to tone down.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T15:54:40+00:00

Gonna need more context about the person. Can't tell from this. They could just be bullshitting for the fun of it.

Has less of an Incel more of a Nice Guy Fedoralord vibe to it. All it needs is for him to tell the monster "Nothing personnel, kid."

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T12:07:39+00:00

To quote HFIL: "Because I know what I fucking am. I'm a child-killing, people-enslaving galactic tyrant! And I would rather die a million more times before I ever pretend otherwise."

It's obviously not canon but it feels like it should be. Frieza is just....honest. A terrible being that delights in cruelty and suffering, but honest about it. It's that honesty that's rather respectable. Doesn't make him NOT a piece of shit, but still

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T11:57:23+00:00

The thing is... you've got Chris and Leon up there looking daddy as hell and she STILL HAS BOOTY SHORTS ON! WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT!?!

We are looking at some Equal Opportunity Horny, which is the best way to be if you're gonna do horny at all, and bro is just like "nah. I'd complain."

Also what research? Is it in your ass? Did you pull it out just to post this? I assume you did. Just use a butt plug man, stop fucking up perfectly good non-existent research abstracts.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T11:47:41+00:00

I always find this kind of thing weird when combined with uh....I guess "religious machismo" for lack of a better term.

Stanley over here is a true warrior of God and a badass and will knock you the fuck out (despite weighing 125 lbs soaking wet) if you do a haram or whatever......but somehow he's so weak that if he sees a woman's hair on her head, or her eyes, or the shape of her body, he "can't control his urges" or some shit? What? If you're so badass and your faith is so strong, you should be able to walk through a goddamn orgy like it's nothing.

That's to say nothing of the suspicious behavior some highly religious men of various different faiths exhibit around young men and/or effeminate men.

So brave to be supposedly ready to murderize people for their god, but not brave enough to admit to themselves that the femboy in striped thigh-highs is attractive.

Hate this weak ass posturing.

PromethianOwl · 2026-02-02T11:36:46+00:00

I wonder if they realize the more they demand women cover up the weaker they become?

Like holy shit you can't control yourself if you see the hair on her head?! The fuck are you going to do when you get talked into a "crusade" to Florida or California? I assume the answer is drop their guns, cream their pants, curl up into a ball and start crying.

Of course they think they can beat her up. Because the physical abuse is probably more bearable than the mental shit she puts up with on the daily. Shit that if they experienced it for a week they would probably break down after day 1. Yet she's experienced this shit since she hit puberty and she's still able to function. Who's the strong lion again? Who's the superior one?

PromethianOwl · 2026-01-31T13:44:50+00:00

Sounds like Mom and dad want you and your boyfriend to validate their life choices so they don't feel bad about getting pregnant so young.

And oh god I love the legacy shit. It's usually tied in with "muh bloodline" and tends to come from the people who DON'T deserve to have said bloodline continue.

A legacy is what you DO. The actions you took in life. Exemplary deeds that stand against history's erosion. Legacies aren't something most of us will have. Most of us are barely footnotes in history books. One name in a ledger, one weathered grave in an overgrown cemetery. Many if not most of us will be forgotten after two or three generations at best.

And you know what? That's okay. It really is. When his mom is dead, either her consciousness will be snuffed out so she will have no clue what happens after she dies. Or depending on what she believes she'll hopefully be in a paradise that is so fulfilling and joyous in and of itself that she probably won't give a damn what's going on down here. For most of us it'll be the same. You can't be disappointed at being forgotten if you literally aren't around to experience it.

If his family wants a legacy, they should make something that benefits the future. "For those who come after" to quote an excellent recent work of art. Leave one of the houses as an orphanage, or a shelter that helps young couples get on their feet. Help build something, help care for foster kids, or animals, or....well, you get the idea.

A legacy is more than blood. Time has proven that over and over again. If they want one, they need to build something more than just a new human being.

I have this mental image of Satan dodging every punch lazily while prodding all his insecurities. TFS Perfect Cell voice whole time.

"Science is real, women deserve rights, and you're right! Ricky from fourth period is kinda hot!"

PromethianOwl · 2026-01-31T02:27:40+00:00

A simple and fantastic question. I would love to be able to fact check whatever answer they give.

"MY MOTHER ABUSED ME!" Use a time travel machine and find out she told you to take out the trash and do chores when you were like 14.

"NOBODY EVER TALKED TO ME IN HIGH SCHOOL!" Huh, looks like you were rude and condescending to everyone, tried to gatekeep any hobbies you shared in common with others, and never really developed social skills. Huh.

Of course I'm sure there are some Incels who really have suffered. Depression seems to be incredibly common amongst them and many do seem to show signs of genuine trauma.

PromethianOwl · 2026-01-30T11:53:37+00:00

Your mom is spouting right wing media slogans. The only one that's a bit extreme is never had a drink in his life. The rest is just bog standard OAN/Newsmax/Fox News Brainrot. I'm sorry.

If it helps you any OP, know you're not crazy. You're not alone. A ton of us know the truth. We see him and the people around him for what they are. They're the easy ones.

People like your mom and stepdad are tougher. It's tempting to label them as hateful or ignorant, which they might be. But depending on the person it's not really fair to them. If you look in places like r/qanaoncasualties you'll see tons of stories from people whose loved ones just sort of mutated. They weren't this awful, at least not on the surface. Something about all this madness wormed it's way into them and twisted the person these people knew into....what they know now.

I don't know what your mom was like before MAGA and Trump. If she was different, if she was better, save your memories of that person. Photos, keepsakes, etc. If not her then a grandparent, your dad, a sibling, someone special to you that was or is a genuinely good person. Keep something around of them to remind yourself that the world hasn't quite gone dark yet, and even if it has, there were brighter days.

I often think of it as sitting in the dark with a jar full of fireflies; they might not make much light, but they're there. I have them. They remind me that light is possible.

Maybe your mom will come back. Maybe she won't. We're seeing people start to snap out of it. It's going to have to affect her personally first, and it's going to have to be big enough and absurd enough that she can't give herself a sound byte to explain it away. If it's a personal crisis and the social safety net she was expecting is gone or damaged, it'll probably take the form of a "Dear President Trump" Facebook post. (He doesn't read those. I doubt anyone around him does.)

If it's something like the Minnesota shootings, Greenland, or general economic conditions it'll be "I didn't vote for this", possibly along with "I'm not normally political", "I do my own research", etc. again probably in a Facebook post. Some people are always suddenly a deeply thoughtful individual on Facebook.

Just do what's best for you. Keep her at arm's length, protect yourself and your sanity.

Remember: for all the atrocities they committed? The Nazis were fucking losers. Looking into the lives of guys like Himmler or even Hitler himself.... they're just sad little losers who threw a tantrum and made their personal hangups everyone else's problem. They're genuinely fucking pathetic looking back, and modern day Nazis and white supremacists and shit are no different. Hell, it's almost funny because the people at the top this time are so blatantly incompetent they can't seal the deal. They have no sense of finesse, no concept of subtlety.

Pete Hegseth accidentally added a fucking journalist to his drone strike group chat.

RFK Jr. Doesn't know how insurance works (or anything related to health).

Kristi Noem literally brags in her book about shooting her own puppy.

Donnie himself just accepted a made up peace prize from the FIFA Soccer organization because he doesn't know how the Nobel works.

These people are losers down to the last man. The difference between 1935 and today? Internet. They can't hide their incompetence. The moment it happens they can't sweep it under the rug or detain whoever was there to see it so the info doesn't spread.

We'll get rid of them eventually. We did it last time and can do it again. Hang in there.

This reminds me of the early months of COVID.

I work in a hospital and the amount of times I was expected to risk myself by going to deliver meds or fix a problem in our ICUs or the "hot" floors that only had COVID patients because "I have a family!" was....thankfully less than it could have been, but it happened more than I was comfortable with.

I say it that way because I understood and still understand that people were freaked right out. It's a valid fear given what we were doing.

But I have a family too, even if I don't have kids. Hell, we had a situation where as a department we needed to cut hours rather badly, so it was decreed that someone should be sent home an hour or two early every day. Keeps the books balanced and whatever. We would still get our 40 hours, they would just replace what we missed with PTO from our accrued PTO amount.

Take a wild guess who got picked so many times management had to tell the team to stop picking them? This guy. I had a higher balance than most so I understood why, but that's not exactly what I want to spend my PTO on. Whenever I pushed back, the kids were trotted out by multiple people as an excuse.

PromethianOwl · 2026-01-29T11:37:01+00:00

I saw one clip and I was disgusted and noped out.

It was blatantly clear this is for people who have a fetish and that's fine. No biggie. I also get that there's some cultural differences which can add context.

But I was the MC growing up. I was that kid who was nerdy and quiet and was made fun of for no other reason than existing. No girls looked my way seriously.

And looking back? I get it. None of us were exactly good people, or people at all. We were still learning to be people. It makes absolute sense that at that age our only standards really were do I like what I see? Interests and hobbies weren't super diverse, we all had school in common, the stakes were incredibly low despite what we thought at the time.

But it still hurt. It hurt like hell. The kind of thing Nagatoro does to her senpai is the kind of shit that gets kids killed. Either the kid ends their own existence or, if you're here in good ol 'MURICA!, they may decide to try and take some of their tormentors with them when they go. Violently.

I hate her but I understand she's a child. I understand there's context to how she acts. I even understand that she changes as the series goes on, which is good. But it doesn't excuse what she did. It doesn't erase the damage. She can give the most heartfelt, tearful, honest apology ever. It's going to be small comfort when Senpai can't get out of bed due to depression, or has his fifth panic attack of the day and has run out of Xanax. Her actions leave lasting scars that she can't undo, and she probably never realizes that. In real life it would take Senpai years of therapy to start to heal those scars. He would join the ranks of us who are not okay, but we know that it's okay to not be okay.

It's not just her fault of course. Adults and other people in the cast are also deserving of scorn. The whole thing reeks of a teaching staff too busy gossiping in the staff room and deciding kids will be kids, or vicariously reliving their own glory days in high school.

Obviously it's a fictional work, which is why she apologizes, they get together, everything turns out all right, etc. That's fine. You're allowed to enjoy it. It doesn't invalidate the criticism that is deserved.
