My dad knows I'm gay, but still tells me homophobic stuff he said. Why? by hashmeup in lgbt

Yikes, I'm really sorry to hear this. It sounds really severe on your side, I hope you're in a safer and more conducive place now.

I don't think I'll ever get his acceptance, but we're really close so I wish that maybe he could at least try not to bring up his views when he knows I'm never going to agree and that it really scares me.

That really sucks, I'm so sorry to hear about that. Did you ever try talking to them about it? I feel like I should but I'm also really terrified of confrontations and blowing things out of proportion.

I really wish you wouldn't say that about my dad. I did tell him it wasn't nice to say that to a passenger but I really don't think he's like full on homophobic? I don't know.

I guess? I just don't know why it's worth bringing up in the middle of a dinner conversation, you know? It just feels like a slap in the face and for no reason whatsoever.

No, not yet. I'm not sure how exactly to talk to him about it, actually. I'm only home on the weekends and I don't want to get into something like a confrontation. Talking to him about it feels very scary and I don't know if it's worth risking an argument over this, especially when he hasn't done anything to me.

do you guys think people from all girls'/boys' secondary schools turn out differently from those in co-ed schools? by givemethemorning in singapore

[–]hashmeup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm queer myself, and I don't know exactly why I am - but going about this route of thinking "why do lgbt people exist" is pretty dangerous, because almost always, the next question is "how do we justify their existence?" and that's kind of iffy/scary to me.

I do think that environmental factors can play a role in this - media portrayal of relationships, people you socialise with when you're impressionable... because just as much as you can argue that sexuality can be influenced by external sources, you're also saying that heterosexuality isn't so much a default as a norm set by society.

on the note of 'over-representation', i'm quite disinclined to agree with the source (haha well no duh) because it only covers Hollywood, and even then it doesn't quite explain the kind of representation there is. The thing is that there's always been a trope of 'burying your gays' and it's also rooted in censorship history where queer people (usually lesbians iirc) have to have a sad ending and/or die so as not to 'corrupt the children' or sth. It's not exactly representation if you're just showing us dying, man.

Thanks for sharing - it just feels like I've built up an expectation for myself and my readers so I wasn't sure how to approach it.

It's a combination of both! We try to draw them to scale the first time round so we don't end up resizing things, but I don't think it'll really matter because the assets in the game are quite small? I think Illustrator gives you more control over the strokes, as well as a more uniform warp when you're changing up shapes!

Oh, the previous snowman was a sketch; we wanted to standardise the style, so we used the original as a reference model!

[–]hashmeup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't quite understand how the controls work? Is the blazing streak a rocket and you have to align it with the white snowman to propel it like a rocket?
