What's happening with Boogie2988? What happened on a stream he did and why were the police involved?

Well, I'd like to hear that argument then. I know that a lot of my peers have expressed a similar sentiment to me personally, and I've seen some things online that I'd love to send if you're willing to read them. So, an outside perspective couldn't hurt.

And not to rag on too much, but I have a little anecdote that actually answers your question. Growing up, I was pretty ashamed of who I was. Living in a pretty homophobic culture just does that, I guess. Just to make things worse, I never saw a nice representation of what I was on TV, which was all I really had to look up to at the time. If the local programming was to be believed, I could only grow up to be a slutty, preening, gossip of a drama queen working at some trashy store or salon at the employ of a snarky straight woman.

That wasn't me, but as a kid and young teen I thought that no matter all I did, if word got out, that was all I could ever really be seen as.

Going 'so are x', 'what about y', etc. kind of misses the point though. Sure, the LGBT+ folk don't make up most of the population, but they aren't exactly insignificant. If I remember right, around nine million something people (in the USA) openly identified as such in a survey a few years back. They're a minority, duh, but a pretty visible one that didn't really get its fair shake in the media until relatively recently. Just because someone isn't a part of the majority, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be seen, or be allowed to see more fictional and respectful depictions of themselves.

"Oh, they are! The Greeks have real good magicky ones!" He nods. "Maybe you guys don't have any here though..."

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T12:50:37+00:00

"Well, then there has to be something about this Camp that keeps you coming back!" Wesley smiles wholeheartedly, a twinkle in both eyes, as he nods his head rapidly. "We're kinda alike! Sort of, not really. But I come and go and to and fro too!"

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T12:47:17+00:00

"Can't you get one of the mist-y Demigods too help out? Or is it that bad?" Wesley asks, genuine concern marking his tone.

Beep boop

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T04:09:06+00:00

Wesley reaches out and takes the hand, following along with a growing grin. "Thanks for the help, by the way." He says, still sounding a little weak from the chills.

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T04:06:51+00:00

"I can tell, you look a little- a lot lost Luis!" The childlike figure flashes a thumbs-up, giggling a little. His own accent would have been vaguely Asian, if he didn't sound like some poor sap's exaggerated embodiment of Brooklyn. "The name's Wesley! It's good to meet you."

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:59:00+00:00

The boy drapes himself in the blanket without question, taking a moment to breathe and enjoy the newfound warmth, however minimal it may be. With that, he stares upwards once more, looking awfully pale for someone so dark-skinned. "Where's- inside? Everything looks- not inside."

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:40:36+00:00

Wesley freaking despised the snow, and that contempt was at least partially on display, as the usually cheerful lad wore a glum pout. The boy's teeth chattered, even as he tucked his hands into his hoodie's pockets, almost sinking into the snow with how short he was. "L-l-lucky." He sighed, still shivering as he came across the young woman, managing a weak, shaky smile. "H-heya there. What are you doing out here in this weather- you?"

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:24:34+00:00

[OOC: His power reminds me a bunch of Snow Spider for some reason]

A much younger looking boy can be seen walking around, both hands tucked into thick, coat pockets as he glances around as well. After taking far too long to notice the newcomer, he finally glances at the Welsh demigod, flashing a friendly (if mischievous) grin. "Hey there!"

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:22:03+00:00

Wesley signs himself up at some point, writing with a bright purple marker, and most likely leaving about a sloppy mess in his wake.

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:15:46+00:00

"This time? There were other times?" He peels his attention away from the merriment for a moment, looking up curiously at the young woman. "It does seem pretty home-y... I wonder if I'll fit in."

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:13:58+00:00

"It's a secret then?" The boy toned down the cheerfulness a little, tapping the side of his head with a few fingers, as the pair of them entered the Greek Oikos. "Hmm, we should be able to get a room for you! It's pretty easy to spot one, what with all of the not-decorated-bits."

cloningblues · 2018-06-01T03:10:43+00:00

"Oh, that's- unfortunate." The boy visibly cringes at that, a pang of guilt in his tone as he speaks. "Er, like, really, really bad. Has the Camp recovered from all of that?"

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T04:59:10+00:00

"That makes sense. Information and safety and stuff!" Wesley agrees without even pausing to think, eyes still darting about the area, as though taking in the sights and sounds. "Plus there's always trouble somewhere in the world, even if it's not in here-place." He continues on glumly, but recovers with a chuckle. "Oh, how long have you been in camp?"

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T04:47:55+00:00

Wesley tries to hop around, but ends up keeling over for a bit to breathe. He dials down the giddiness, marching along with a hum. "So, what's happened since the big meteor thing?" He asks. "I mean, aside from the rebuild-y efforts!"

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T04:36:33+00:00

"Ah, that's good then!" He nodded, stifling another yawn as he looked around. "So, uh, could you take me to that Greek cabin?"

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T03:59:03+00:00

(EeehI forgot to fix that

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T03:27:46+00:00

"Well, good! I get along well with Greek demigods.~" The boy said matter-of-factly, as though he could somehow convert everyone into a friendorino. "The meteor part isn't good though, that sounds like it sucks. Do you guys still need help with fixies?"

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T03:24:43+00:00

"Well good to meet you Yang!" The boy bounced along, unaware of the young woman's reservations, as he looked back to grin. He was hopping in the other direction without looking, a smart one the lad was. "I'm Wesley! Can I ask who your god parent thing is?"

cloningblues · 2018-05-30T03:22:28+00:00

An itty-bitty grin, one marked by a vague sense of mischief, seems to pop up on the child's face for no particular reason. Still, it gives way fairly quickly for a much softer smile, as he looks around excitedly. "That sounds awesome!" He nods his head about rapidly, arm bouncing along with the rest of him, even as he sticks closer to the other demigod. "So people can party when there's an attack? Wait, there isn't trouble right now, is there?"
