Nothing eerier than seeing mod boards that haven't been posted in for over a year.

Friend of mine who was generally a bit of a ****bag and made a habit of tormenting the trans kids at our school changed their name on Facebook and their latest profile pictures are them in women's clothing, makeup, lipstick, etc. I'm... very... confused, and I have incredibly mixed feelings on the whole thing.

Well, either repression is a *****, or this is a very elaborate prank.

 

[Evelyn]

Yeaaah, that's what I'm thinking. It's a big mess of thoughts right now. I don't think it's a prank though, considering it's been going on for quite awhile, they completely changed their hairstyle, the way they dress, shaved off all of their facial hair, everything. So I'm just... Aagh.

 

[Age of Empires ¶ Densetsu]

Interesting.

Maybe all the tormenting was all part of an outward show of trying to fit in and be 'normal' to counter their social anxiety regarding the way they felt.

But I'm no psychologist, so I talk ****.

Aaaaand trans. Reasoning for the bullying was apparently (paraphrased) 'anyone who has any feelings like this before they're 18 is a "special snowflake"'

 

[Almalexia]

And that's what internalization looks like! 

 

[Calradianın bilgesi]

I'm used to saying hi in tinder to homophobe men I know irl.

 

[Areze]

Self-loathing and internalization are legit some of the saddest things I've seen.

The internet response to charlotteville is pretty disgusting.

 

[Austupaio]

Yeah, I agree, reddit's endorsement of violence against Neo-Nazis as retaliation is disgusting.

Or maybe it's silly to try to judge communities of millions of people based on a few posts by confused or stupid people and trolls.

One of those.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Yeah, the overall response doesn't seem all that positive.
Unless you're on Stormfront, I guess, but that lost cause is kind of a given anyhow.

Made me chuckle, though.

All the other threads got so srs bsns that I didn't see this, that's actually great.

I would follow him but Argentina is full of ****ing Mexicans.

 

[Pixel]

Actually, it's full of Italians.

 

[Captured Joe]

Wasn't it full of nazi refugees?
