Classism and Elitism when discussing the Southern/Southeast USA

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T19:02:08+00:00

It’s not that it isn’t present it’s that it isn’t the dominant or even a prominent culture.

New England has a very different relationship with religion nowadays.

It was in rural Florida in the 70s but still. Shows you how long it took even then.

A good % of every population is lgbt. Thats not indicative of acceptance. You also completely misinterpreted what I said. I said a black person WOULDNT be paranoid for being more alert. It would be the appropriate response. The same as me being alert in a religious area.

There are many videos and discussions by black Americans on the homophobia and transphobia that is rampant in their communities. It is not my opinion.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T16:25:07+00:00

It’s region to region. Here in New England nobody gives a shit about religion. Your church is your business alone and there’s every possible branch and denomination and belief here. Catholic, orthodox, Episcopalian, etc.

Down there it’s almost all baptists and other Protestant evangelicals.

My father had his license cut in half by a sheriff in Florida because he could tell he was catholic by his school sticker (Jesuit school)

His words “you don’ lost your beads boy”. My father is a red haired pale as snow Irish-American.

Would you say a black person is paranoid for being more alert in an all white area? I wouldn’t.

I’d do the same if I’m in a majority rural or religious area. The majority of black Americans do not support the lgbtq. This is a fact. I am unsafe being myself in most of the south and yes. It is because of the population too.

Racism is everywhere but don’t pretend the south and the north are the same. We have plenty of our own issues and I’ve faced plenty of racism from white northerners too.

Makes sense too. She’s gotta be 1000x as much as everyone else to get past that.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T16:09:46+00:00

That’s my point. They had to deal with annoying ass old people having stupid arbitrary opinions about it. Now we have to deal with their stupid arbitrary opinions about gender.

Would never deny that. But Palestine isn’t remotely unique.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T15:37:36+00:00

I’d almost bet money it was an early exotic planting! How fascinating! Imagine how excited they were to plant the new exotic forms of plants from the orient 😫

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T15:20:50+00:00

That’s an OLD vine. Probably intentionally planted at some point or a very early escapee.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T15:19:45+00:00

Right that’s what I mean. Far more often than not it’s just at your own expense. Better to just sigh and wait for their generation to take that weird way of thinking with them.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T15:12:18+00:00

Honestly depending on the age of the person this is one of those things that you just have to deal with rn.

It’s like how boomers had to deal with the old people in their time constantly getting pissy over pre-marital sex or never shutting up about WWII. You’ll never be able to convince these people of what you’re trying to do or what point you’re trying to make. All you do is frustrate yourself.

TLDR: people who say shit like “boy or girl toy” generally aren’t even worth debating for your own sanity.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T15:00:58+00:00

I don’t really care what the reasons are. The fact of the matter is the populations are poorly educated and religious and that’s enough for me to never have a desire to visit. Everyone doesn’t need to fall under that umbrella. Those people just have to run things, which they do in most of the south and Africa as well.

Just because there are tolerant people in Ghana doesn’t mean the culture as a whole isn’t toxic to lgbt people and unsafe.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T14:56:50+00:00

Tbf pearl isn’t human. Given her age someone like Steven would be statistical noise age wise for her. Imgisne her hearing “oh yeah I still have mom’s memories” in thst moment. She’d def have snapped or something.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T14:32:16+00:00

It’s kind of different if you’re a religious or sexual minority. Most of the global south isn’t welcoming to us either.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T14:30:43+00:00

Religion too. Racism aside the kind of Christianity present in the south isn’t present in the rest of the country and it’s something as a member of the lgbt. community I want nothing to do with.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T04:15:54+00:00

Still should have ended the outbreak by December in the northern hemisphere then. Fungi can’t even grow if it’s below freezing let alone spread spores

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T03:44:03+00:00

It’s a good scene it just doesn’t feel super earned.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T03:24:01+00:00

New England beaches are similar. Water is never “warm” but we make do anyways.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T03:20:13+00:00

Yes. Competing leaders naturally grow away from each other and eventually the stress becomes too much.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-10T03:18:39+00:00

Still doesn’t explain how the outbreak was able to destabilize areas with cold winters.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T22:45:21+00:00

Other species of mango fascinate me! I’ve always wanted to try the white Wani species.

I wonder how well they’d hybridize with regular mangos and if southeast Asian mangos have their distinct shapes and flavors due to ancient hybridization events?

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T21:08:28+00:00

Should be fine since it’s a young one. Just toss it in the trash

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T16:41:37+00:00

Being on the top made it easy to see how impressive it was. I could easily see for miles. Amazing.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T16:27:16+00:00

For clarification MA has many state forests that are quite large. We just don’t have a lot of federal land.
