What are you whining about RIGHT NOW?!

[Shadowfax]

Doesn't matter how old you are, it still hurts when your parents separate and hate eachother. Your dad doesn't care about your inheritance and is happy to waste it on court fees despite that not being what your grandad wanted. *sigh*

I wish my mom wouldn't watch that stuff so much. I know the guy hosting the show is right about this stuff and I know she agrees with him and they're making fun of the haters, but all the same... showing the clips of these idiots talking about how perverse and wrong people like me are is always an unpleasant experience.

There's nothing against nature about being transgender or bisexual, or any other part of LGBT+ for that matter. I also fail to see how either of these things has anything to do with some random person's "normal" kid.

LGBT =/= pedophile

Ugh I have to put my elbow brace back on

[FlipMode]

Hugs and a bit of pixie dust for all the people feeling a bit down this evening.
I'm whining that all of my friends seem to be feeling a bit crap this evening. It's like whenever I'm in a good mood, nobody else is lol

All of the students in Art class are making it live while I am not for different reasons. First of all, most of the students aren't in my grade, so they don't have the conflict that I do. There are only two people who are in my grade that do Art. While I don't know what the case is for one, the other one is ahead in Math, so she can make it live without really missing anything. Unlike her, I'm not the greatest at Math, so I always make it for the classes when the teacher first goes over the lesson. I've been having a lot of problems, so I also have been going the second day to get help. Apparently my Art teacher doesn't like that, but my Math grade is bad enough right now, so I need the extra help. I just hope she understands that and accepts that Fridays will probably be the only days that I can do it live, since the class is during one of my Study Hall times.

I am utterly tired of watching LGBT characters die on the multiple representations of "pop culture". According to the Guardian, only four LGBT characters have had happy endings in the last 19 years worth of movies/TV shows. That's just...sad.

Just imagine living in a world where you belong to a minority, whose representation on screen is less than 4% of all characters, and having to watch most of that small percentage of characters die over and over. The worst is that most deaths aren't even necessary for a further development of the plot. They're simply done. Now, put yourself in the shoes of all those queer kids, who aren't accepted by anyone and end up turning to "story-telling" and holding on to it. You know why this happens? Because, for them, fiction is better than reality. They use this to seek a representation of who they truly are and to feel validated with it, because, unlike real life, that fiction is telling them: "Hey, it's okay to be you!". But, then, that one character they look up to and that they see themselves in, just dies. It just vanishes and, with it, goes their hope, which was one of the only things they had left. Is this correct? No, not for me.

Unfortunately (in a way), LGBT characters aren't seen as "just characters" yet. They aren't like that beautiful heroine or that mysterious hero, who end up falling in love for their best friend/enemy/whatever of the opposite gender. They simply aren't common enough nor represent something 100% accepted in real life, to be seen as just "another regular character". The way they differ from the rest is that, actually, LGBT characters don't stand alone. With them, stand millions of people who are hoping to see themselves be represented in a proper way and who are tired of seeing themselves be ignored and overlooked. And, believe it or not, it hurts. It hurts to see those characters being "deleted" with cheap or stupid unnecessary deaths, more than once, twice, etc. It hurts to realize how that makes millions of people, myself included, feel like they're not worth validating on television, simply because they want to be themselves. I believe it is time for a change. It is time to stop using LGBT characters as a "marketing" form, as a way to get more views/fans/etc. It is time to start treating these characters like any other characters and finally give them a real plot. A plot where they actually matter.

I know many of you may not understand this or simply may think I'm overreacting, but this actually matters to me...a lot.

I'm sorry for the vent. I don't do this very often, I swear.

[Carl]

^ It is ridiculous. I had plans to write the kind of fiction that is better about that, but... well can't write much these days. That said though, I have encountered some mediums that do treat LGBTs right, so there is hope!

[HereWeStand]

I'd love to see a world where LGBT+ representation doesn't have to be a thing because characters are naturally varied and their personalities don't revolve around their identities/orientations. Like, someone could be anything but the plot doesn't touch it because it's not considered a big deal. Eh, maybe in the distant future once we've gone past this social stigma of LGBT+ people.

And I'm whining because I bit my tongue way too hard and it still hurts when I speak, or chew, or do anything today.

[Carl]

Only an hour in and my knee is quitting on me. Ugh.
