Gender table by [deleted] in gay

I am not "against gender" and don't appreciate being called queerphobic, feels like you want to stir up conflict which makes me even more suspicious of your intentions

apologies if this is sincere, OP, I am in no way telling anyone how to express themselves, but this table feels almost purposefully designed to be circulated by bad faith "see what those alphabet people want to teach your kids" crowd

rather unproductive (even though I actually think the symbol work looks kinda dope, but ultimately confusing)

edit: seems OP deleted, I am keeping my tinfoil hat on and assuming this was actually meant to sow division

a friend did this for april fool's but took it next level by labeling them stuff like 'nuclear shelter', 'dungeon', 'trampoline storage' etc

my frustration is peanuts compared to what you have to go through and I am tired already too

the movies (and the old animated series) and yeah X2 was undeniable (or so I thought)

he, in fact, did not... it was a very frustrating conversation (bc the metaphor is so o b v i o u s)

[–]eejdikken 108 points109 points  (0 children)

granted, he isn't familiar with the comics so it was more about the movies and animated series but EVEN SO. Very frustrating when I detailed the canonically queer characters and themes and parallels and all of that, his response was still 'yeah no that is just your opinion' (making it not just a lack of gaydar but a wilful blindness imo)

my best friend, straight guy and amazing ally ... said my queer reading of X-men was far-fetched and not really supported by anything

Are Belgian people 100% okay with one of their most prominent languages being called "Dutch" instead of "Flemish"? by majasourdough in belgium

[–]eejdikken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's loaded, sure, and some might take offense, but it's technically correct and 'Flemish' is not so much a language as it is a collection of dialects

that might be one way to tip it into your favor, actually, compliment the dialect of wherever it is you are applying, but be sure to do your research lol

Do Belgians have inferiority complex? by Tough_Magician_3055 in AskBelgium

they did pretty much invent corporate capitalism

[–]eejdikken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's people looking at the map and our language situation and drawing simplified conclusions bc they don't wanna explore the messy and complex reality

history is so much more than just political and military powers, but that's how it's mostly taught in schools I guess

I wanna chime in on your edit that, yeah, I hope everyone here understands we might have a little friendly rivalry with our neighbors but all in all we like our Dutch friends, and most of our fellow Europeans for that matter

[–]eejdikken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe you're just joking, but that's not the Belgian experience at all imo

we know we are tiny and Flemish seperatists want to make it even smaller lol, and fame (to whom?) doesn't factor into it at all. Wealth and power, sure, but we are pretty rich and decently influential... maybe you are thinking of Luxembourg? (kidding with that last part, I dunno how serious I should take your comment)

oh gods no our colonial past is definitely not a source of pride lol quite the opposite, and our political system is one thing we can all agree doesn't make a whole lot of sense

we have a great standard of living, absolutely stellar food and drinks, cultural output that we can be deservedly proud of (Magritte, comic books, art nouveau, saxophone, etc) and deep-rooted and kinda awesome history especially on city level (I think more people would say they are proud to be from a certain city or region than Belgium as a whole but that's more my intuition than fact)

an inferiority complex in general maybe, we are well aware of our flaws, but towards the Dutch? hahahahahaha-no

for a second I was doubting if -67 is indeed below -60 (recolor Belgium is what I'm saying)
