uhhh something about men // toxic masculinity // homophobia // hating intimacy between dudes // being triggered // not knowing how to feel love for father // afraid and envious of man love // man not supposed to be able 2 truly love another man // man love man = upset

it all comes back to the psychological (very white-male-capitalist) "I went through this trauma and I'm 'fine' so that means you should too"
wouldn't the logical answer be "I went through this trauma and it hurt me so I wouldn't want anyone else to feel it" ?

but alas.. that would require admitting to oneself and the world around them that they had been hurt. that they are *not* okay.
but that can be immensely hard when you're in an echo chamber of toxicity and criticism and judgement. doesn't leave a lot of space for introspection and self reflection.
so... whats the point?

hold bigots accountable. FUCK bigotry. do not take their insults to heart. but, if you have the privilege of ability, make an attempt to understand where the hate comes from. you'll both be better for it.
shit man nice thread tbh
