Drag, Children, and what the fuck ABOUT Sex?

'Lo. Been a while. And I'm not in a good fucking mood.

I saw a video that just happened to come up in my home feed on YouTube that I didn't know belonged to a conservative woman and of course I end up going to a video that talked about the oversexualization of children. Because, at first, I didn't even know she was a conservative. So I thought this would be a good, sensible conversation.

And, what would you know. I actually agreed with a good...oh, three, five minutes of the video...

Until she started talking about drag queens.

Like a fucking moron.

How. The fucking fuck. Does the oversexualization of children...and drag queens...have anything in common?!

Oh, right. These self-righteous conservative fuckwads would do just about anything—if not anything—to put anything remotely resembling the LGBTQ+ community with the association of pedophilia. I forgot. How silly of me.

So, let's break this down, shall we, and go into why this is fucking stupid.

What is drag?

Guess fucking what? I'm not even going to do any research on what drag is. I'm going to explain it in my own words and then do research on it. Now, I'm not saying that I'm going to get the definition 100% correct, but goddammit, I'll be damn close.

Drag is when one dresses lavishly and/or convincingly in the style of the, for lack of a better term, binary genders, a.k.a. femme and masculine. Essentially cross-dressing, usually if not always ramped up to a hundred, from my understanding. 

So, now, let's look up a definition of drag:

"The term "drag" refers to the performance of masculinity, femininity or other forms of gender expression. A drag queen is someone (usually male) who performs femininity and a drag king is someone (usually female) who performs masculinity."

 —Wikipedia

Yes, I am using the "dreaded" Wikipedia. But it has sources. Look at them yourself if you care so fuckin' much.

So, I guess the one thing I need to mention is that it's a performance, unlike cross-dressing. 

Therefore—

What part of this has any fucking thing to do with SEX, you sad excuse for a human and bigoted prude? You just want to use every excuse you can find to demonize a minority—hell, people you don't "understand", I fucking swear...

There's nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with introducing children to drag queens and kings—specifically drag queens since you can never give men and anyone traditionally masculine or male doing anything femme a fucking break. 

Again, drag has nothing to with sexuality. It's identity, if anything. A perfectly straight man can be a drag queen and a perfectly straight woman can be a drag king. Drag exposes children to understanding and lessens the social constraints of binary gender and gender identity. 

That's all that's bothering y'all, in the end. Just fucking admit it. 

But don't, just fucking don't, bring sex into this conversation. I'm tired of it. 

Y'all are just scrambling to use any fucking excuse. It's sad and disgusting.

Fucking quit it. 

Stop thinking about children and sex, for the love of all things sacred.

Fuckin' weirdoes.

Get help.

Like, now.

Meat the Eater

Let's talk food, for a moment, shall we...?

Ah, the ol' vegan debate. My. It's gotten worse and worse, nowadays. And it makes absolutely zero bloody sense.

...Heh.

Blood.

Ol' Maggot here is a pescatarian. Yes, that means I eat fish, not meat. But, guess what? I'm almost positive I'd be eating meat at least every now and then, if it wasn't for the fact that I seemingly can't digest it very well. Yep, that is why I stopped eating meat. Now, this was a while ago, several years, so I have no idea what my body might be able to deal with, now. But I don't care to find out, either.

Also, yes. I am well aware that by technicality, "meat" includes fish meat, but culinary-wise, they are two different things, seafood and meat. Juuust putting that out there.

I love vegan food. I am certain I could oh, so easily make the switch to going vegan because of this. Why haven't I, then you ask?

Wonderful question, and it has a simple answer.

I love fish too much.

LE GASPETH! I choose taste over the life of another creature?!

Damn fricking STRAIGHT, I do.

Y'see, I find meat consumption of any kind to be just as natural for humans as it is for humans to eat plant-based foods. I believe animals kept for slaughter should be treated with utmost respect, because, after all, they will be going into our stomachs, our systems. We should take care of them if we want to take care of ourselves.

Now, I've found that this doesn't make any sense to—can I say most vegans? Which confuses me. I don't know if you noticed, but humans have canines and molars. We can eat flesh, biologically. So long as we aren't 1) going overkill on the animals on both land and sea (a.k.a. overfishing, causing animals to go extinct, etc.), 2) treating the animals harshly, in any way, shape or form, or 3) injecting them with hormones and shit that goes along with #2 as well as, in the end, harms us...I don't see a damn thing wrong with eating seafood or meat.

While on this note, I also think it's okay for humans to hunt animals—so long as it's for the sole purpose of eating the animal afterwards. No hunting for the literal "game" of it all, you bastards. Trophy kills and all that shit. 

Why raging vegans are so keen on making people who aren't vegan feel so horrible about something so natural escapes me. Most of you are making yourselves look like self-important assholes to the rest of the world, and that's...really...a shame. Because being a vegan is awesome. I salute you, good human.

But can everyone in the fucking world please come to an agreement on what the real problem is, here? The problem with the food industry when it comes to animals is how they are kept, fed, used, and how all that shit just does a 360-degree turn when it enters our bodies and fucks us up. Not the fact that animals are being eaten.

Animals eat animals. We are just another sort of animal. Don't you dare go into the whole "but we have a conscious/sentience" nonsense for this. We are omnivores; we can eat meat and plants—by nature! We are animals. If you have a problem with that, please, consult your local psychiatrist.

I hear they also have an app for that. 

Pull the TRIGGER

Dear Existence,

Humans are idiots. They like to bandwagon words and phrases because "everyone else is using them". Please erase them.

Sincerely, Mar

Aaah, triggering. This...lovely term has come into excessive use, from my experience, for the past...oh...year or two. Again, from my experience, because I really don't fucking care how long it has been used in this modern, 21st-century, asinine way.

Like so many sacred things and things that were once used for particular, important and serious reasons, the mainstream of society has bastardized and terribly abused the word "trigger". Trigger, as in something that brings up memories and sensations of a traumatizing event. This word used to mean something. Something that was very serious and not to be taken jokingly.

I don't know nor do I particularly care how, but regardless, idiots of our mainstream society got their usurping hands on it and now use it to make light of anything that "seemingly", by their narrowed, crossed eyes, causes someone to throw some sort of fit.

"That person is carrying on in anger because someone on the internet posed something about Donald Trump! THEY'VE BEEN TRIGGEEEERRRED!"

Yeah.

You know who you are.

Idiots.

No, there were legitimate words and reason for that before it all became a joke. Before that word was thrown around to—in such limited form—"describe" someone speaking their mind, expressing themselves and their opinions. Now the word "trigger", which was once specifically used for people who experienced traumas, is used in a disparaging, off-handed way.

Now it's all a joke to you bobbleheads. You don't take people who you deem "triggered" seriously. You brush them off, jeer and mock them, tell them to "calm down". And we're not even talking about people who may have, in fact, been expressing their discomfort over something reminding them of a trauma.

But, of course, none of those people matter when you've jumped the bandwagon—the bandwagon of shameful stupidity, ignorance and cruelty. All that matters is spewing what you heard so-and-so say.

"Because everyone's doing it."

Brain cells; the next few generations are going to be devoid of them entirely, if these are the generations that are going to be raising them.

Like I said in my last post.

I've got a trigger for you right here.

Twirl on it.

The next time you decide some new verbal fad is cool to use, you take that trigger.

Point its figurative barrel to your head.

And please, do us all a favor and pull it.

Congratulations. You've just joined the brain cell suicide squad.

...and Humans are Idiots- Ningen, please

I know at least one of you do this.

You know who you are.

But I can't stand this—in fact, I truly despise and loathe this.

So, then. Got your adult panties on? Don't let me worm into them...'kay?~♥

Ah, derogatory terms. Aren't they just...awful? Demeaning and insulting, some created for the sole purpose of making one feel...less than human. Some are distasteful "nicknames" created to verbally spit on someone or a race or group of people. Either way...it's unpleasant, to be called a derogatory term.

But then this thing called "reclaiming" derogatory terms exists, as well.

Huh. Well, let's use some examples, here.

Nerd was used to describe, as Wikipedia puts it, a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, or lacking social skills. Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, little known, or non-mainstream activities, which are generally either highly technical, abstract, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Additionally, many so-called nerds are described as being shy, quirky, pedantic, and unattractive, and may have difficulty participating in, or even following, sports.

But, of course, as we are all painfully aware of, nowadays, the term "nerd" has been reclaimed and is used out of pride and is considered a group identity. Nerds are also awesome people. At least, from my own experiences. Never mind the fact that I am a nerd, myself, as is my older brother.

Queer, while originally a word (and is still a word) that means strange, peculiar, etc., it became used as a "derogatory term for effeminate men, men who were believed to engage in receptive or passive sex with other men, as well as those who exhibited non-normative gender expressions."

But, of course, this term has become widely embraced and celebrated with pride, and I, personally, agree that the term has a bittersweet truth to it from its original meaning. We are strange and unusual to mainstream, societal norms. We might never be able to escape this truth.

I wholeheartedly agree these words have their rightful places in the world. I like these words, as I identify both as a nerd and as queer. But I only support these words a) because nerd never carried the weight of some other pejorative words (and what the hell else are we supposed to be called?) and b) because of what "queer" originally meant, largely.

...However.

There are some words with histories so atrocious, so deeply rooted with hatred, ignorance, suffering, pain, destruction, and vile atrocities, I believe they should never be used outside of educational, informational means.

I'm going to focus on the one that has deep roots in my own existence.

You better fucking believe I'm talking about the 'n' word.

There is honestly no other way to get around it—

Nigger. Nigga. Niggah. However the fuck you want to spell it, it doesn't change what it is. What it means. How it is still used, even by the very same people who claim to use it in "positive" ways!

Human, please. Go the fuck back to school, read some stories, talk to some people, and then come the fuck back to me and dare you to keep using that thrice-accursed word.

Rationally speaking, I can only imagine people who use these words are people who never truly, and I mean truly researched the history, impact and meaning of the word and never spoke to friends, family members, who had to experience said impact of such a word.

Otherwise, you are honestly just sheep. Sheep following the herd of other ignorant, senseless, blithely asinine peers who are sheep in turn. Following the other collective assholes and ne'er-do-wells who put this word back into its accursed wide-usage we've become so-called "desensitized" to, today.

...Because, have you noticed that no other race of people use a derogatory term, such as Jap and spick, that was once used for them the way black people use the "nigger", in all of its variations, today? And here's the catch. These terms are still derogatory. Highly so, without a doubt. And no one dares use them unless they are indeed being derogatory. Whereas, on the same wavelength, words that were truly reclaimed, such as nerd and queer, are used by everyone, and freely so!

Whereas, I'll bet you're quite familiar with these:

"White people don't get to use the N word."

"White people can't use the N word."

"That word is ours, not yours."

And such nonsense such as this.

For the bobbleheads out there who say, "Wait, there's a difference between nigger and niggaaaaaaaa", I a-fucking-sure you, I've heard no difference between the way the two words are used. Again, by the same fucking people who initially claimed to use it in a "reclaimed, positive" way.

Firstly, there's no "positive" way you idjits use this word, and you know it. Because if you really believed that, you wouldn't call your best friend a nigga and then turn around and call someone you fucking despise a nigga, in the same shit-speaking breath. What sort of sense does it make to use a supposedly reclaimed word with this obvious inflection of hate, distaste or mocking?

Secondly, if this word was truly reclaimed, anyone could indeed, freely use it. Like nerd and queer. Mind-blowing? Shouldn't be! These words aren't, for all intents and purposes, career-crushing, respect-destroying words, unlike "nigger".

So here's what I say to all ye

Talk shit? Spit blood.

Because maybe that's what it's going to take to get you to understand the meaning of this word "nigger".

Me look it up for you?

YOU fucking look it up, and look it up long and hard. Swallow it. Regurgitate it. Swallow hard. Digest it. Turn it to crud. And then you fucking eat that literal shit and smear it into your brain, if you must.

KNOW. YOUR. FUCKING. HISTORY.

NO ONE SHOULD FUCKING USE THAT WORD. IF YOU EVEN HAVE TO GIVE LIMITATIONS TO IT, IT BLOODY MEANS THE WORD IS PEJORATIVE AND YOU KNOW IT.

Stop only parroting  what you hear and actually use your rotting grey matter, damn it all!  How, I mean just how stupid can you be?! I can't begin to explain how many times people have actually told me the only use the word because their friends do, because "everyone" does, or other nonsense!!

So I'm going to ask you all a serious, wretched question.

Do you want to be a nigger?

DO YOU REALLY?

DO you REALLY want to call this to a family member, a loved one? A close, good friend?

Because, I assure you, I am more than willing to remind you what it means to be less than human if you are so fucking willing to continue using this utterly distasteful, inexcusable word.

If I have to repeat myself to any of you who read this, know I will not be so kind as I am now. In fact, I'll just act like you don't exist.

And for you pissants who dare say I've been "triggered"?

I've got a trigger for you right here.

Twirl on it.

A post about "triggering" and how asinine that is will soon come your way.

"Cis-Pride", My Ass

So there is this thing being passed around within my Facebook circles, one in particular. It's about Cis Pride. Until then, I don't ever recall ever hearing about it. And I have to say, it pisses me off.

No, not at all the fact that cisgender and cissexual even exist or anything. Not at all; in fact, I like a proper term for straight people and whatnot. Not the fact that yes, it's fine to be proud you're straight, I guess. But the simple bloody fact that this is how a lot of people are discovering the damned word and HOW it is being used!! 

CIS-PRIDE?! 

How fucking DARE you insult the LGBTQ+ members of society! How fucking DARE you make it seem like your problems are anywhere near (theirs) to the point that you think you need to have your fucking Cis Pride rants and raves and act as if cissexuality is "AT RISK" like there aren't billions of people in the world who are all satisfied with how they were born (a.k.a. male, female and heterosexual). 

If you really believe the population is at risk (because this seems to be a commonly used excuse for anything related to LGBTQ+), you'd fucking allow polygamy and even polyandry. So shut the hell up unless you want to start having marches and parades for those. 

I can't find them for the life of me, but I've seen pictures for "Cis Pride" and being "proud to be straight" as if someone is oppressing cis people.

...

ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?

The day you pick up any random book in the library and see more homosexual couples and pairings than heterosexual, get back to me and have a real discussion. The day you see news articles months to weeks to DAYS in-between about children committing suicide because they're cis, you get back to me about your fucking cis pride. 

You're not at risk. You're not being oppressed for being cis. You don't even fucking know what it means to be oppressed for being who you are. You just say that when someone tells you to fuck off for being cis and that you likely said something or did something wrong. Not saying cis people deserve this and logic dictates the people who do this to you are wrong as well. Because no one is quite "right" or "wrong".

But YOU—and you know who you are—need to shut your mouth and actually think about what you're doing when you see these Cis Pride pictures before clicking "Like". It's not simply "LOL I'm straight and I like this idea, LOL, let's LIKE it!" it's saying "I'm being oppressed for being straight and male/female!" Because that is why pride parades and Pride Day were created. That's why these pictures of other genders and other sexual preferences were made. They actually have damn good reason to pick up a flag and wave it, putting their lives at risk for supporting the LGBTQ+ community or announcing that they're any of these other genders and have these other sexual preferences. 

This fucking disgusts me. It's for reasons like this that people get pissed of at certain cis people. Because they're just slapping the faces of people who died, were murdered, committed suicide, and were attacked throughout history and TODAY for being true to themselves.

"Cis pride", my ass.
