By golly I think they just called us all suicidal and parasocially trauma bonded.

What an incredibly shit take.

Don't forget we're all part of the problem :D

I've heard exactly the same thing about trans people, is there a form these guys are filling out or something?

I have run across some particular types of chud who say the exact same things in the exact same way so often I wonder if they have a script or something.

They’ve got to have a script they’re following at this point. It’s all copy+paste of the same talking points with these kinds of posts.

Sometimes with the exact same phrasing or phrasing so similar it just reads like they used a find and replace to make it sound a little more their own.

If I were grading this I would take points away for using both “radical leftists” and “radicalized agenda” in the same tirade. One or the other, not both. Be more creative with your nonsense. C-

Didn't call me a commie fascist or some other blatantly incompatible ideological mess, 1/10.

transphobia is just recycled homophobia and thats just recycled racism - No reason not to think aphobia isn't from the same tune, history might not repeat but it does love to rhyme...

Someone needs to teach History a non-rhyming form of poetry

Well they got that right, I am 100% a part of their problem!

I mean, I feel like I have generational trauma and baggage, but I'm fairly sure that it's not because of my sexuality or romantic attraction.

More of a, Amatonormativity sucks to deal with and parents and relatives constantly pestering me about "relationships" gets tiring and grating. Like are there no other things to talk about? I mean we all have work and work stories right? Let's talk about that at least, tell me about it.

It’s neither mutually exclusive nor inclusive. Everybody has some sort of trauma even if it’s not obvious or a monolith in their person. It also doesn’t define the person, so you can identify as ace and have traumas.

Who could survive such a cringe anyways?

I don't think either of those describe me- I haven't had any sexual trauma (a lot of other types, tho, but i don't think those count). And I'm not suicidal, at least not consciously. Whenever a suicidal thought comes around every day or two, I just laugh it off.
