So many workplaces now ask you your pronouns, etc. Participation in Pride parades are okay!! We get to choose who we are! gender should not be imposed on ANYONE!

Kaveh: complains about Cyno's jokes

Also Kaveh: makes a joke using the same pun as Cyno in the same breath right after the complaint

---

Fun facts from the Interdarshan Championship:

A bad joke is also referred to as a "cold joke" in Chinese and Cyno says [我可以説一個冷笑話幫你將溫] to Tighnari after returning to Aaru Village with the disruptor. This roughly translates to "I can help cool you down with a cold joke." (the loc. team did a great job in keeping the funnies by translating it to dry humor)

Kaveh, when talking about Cyno, complains about his "cold humor" and ends with the line [他約你一起去提納里家吃飯的話，你最好多穿件外套] which is, "If he invites you to Tighnari's for a meal, best to bring a jacket." (this was turned into the line about being sober)

#genshin impact #kittybee talks game linguistics #kaveh #cyno #a parade of providence #genshin kaveh #genshin cyno #you need to understand cyno's jokes are some of the best in CN -- nothing will outdo the joke when they arrived at mondstat during windblum #Cyno is a Mahamatra or [大風紀官] and windmills can be called a [大風機關] these 2 are phonetically identical in pronunciation #i've finally leveled the friendship and have gained access to more voicelines woohoo!

May 18 2024

I now have experienced one of my favourite type of compliments irl! Today we celebrated pride in my city and I went in my käärijä cosplay. At the afterparty I’d show people pictures ESC!Käärijä (obvious reasons) or me and Bojan (because I still can’t shut up about the Malmö gig). And between those seeing the pictures some were confused looking between me and the phone actually stating that me and either Jere or Bojan look alike!! (I am honestly most surprised about the Bojan one)

vampire faking it where like to fit in with the cool goth kids in the night school high school drop out program someone fakes being a vampire for clout but then actually meets a real vampire in the class whos like a medieval plague victim who never learned to read so hes going to night school and its like commentary on the weird possessive vampire boyfriend drama but in a gay lens and about coming to terms with being gay as a weird goth loner with a vampire boyfriend and experiencing metaphorical anti vampire homophobia yeah this is what the cw should have been broadcasting instead of the vampire diaries

#but as the show went on it just became teen wolf but vampires as a parade of identical #hot boy vampires kept showing up as part of the community colleges vampire education outreach program

A collection of photos from the St Patrick's Day parade in Bristol on Sunday 17th of March. For a celebration of traditional Irish culture, it was quite modern and flamboyant, and not without its references to more progressive political agendas (though I've heard of worse), it was wonderful to see how many people come together to enjoy and appreciate a culture that, inasmuch as it has spread across the globe, remains of distinct localised origin.

This is why I am a photographer, to explore in visuals culture in all its various forms, the good, the bad, and the ugly, exploring what makes communities tick, what brings people together, and what pulls them apart. It is local culture that brings communities together, forging links between people and the places the live in, no matter their origin or background, and if we want local and national cultures to continue playing that role, then we must do everything to preserve their identity and uniqueness through all the cultural convolutions of an increasingly globalised world.

Idk how to really put this feeling into words but it’s just like

I feel like most cishet allies I interact with has this idea that queerness = pride parades. And don’t get me wrong, I love pride, it’s great. but it’s always that idea of a very sterilised “social acceptable” type of pride where it’s gay people holding hands and a few trans people but they have very clear and non-confusing identities. And it’s just like. My identity isn’t that. My identity isn’t just “yeah I was a woman but now I’m a man and I’m gonna wear a little rainbow shirt and kiss bent boyfriend once and then never really talk about it”. My identity is complex and ever changing and I’m both a gay man and a lesbian and a secret third thing at the same time and there’s a big chance that won’t really understand that if you’re cis. And it’s just. Idk how to communicate that feeling to cishet (and sometimes cis queer) people when it feels like they just have that idea of happy sunny pride parades is the only acceptable way to be queer because it’s not confusing to cis people.

#and like #ik that pride parades aren’t socially acceptable in that way #but it’s like #there are still queer identities and ways to be queer that are more socially acceptable than others #idk what I’m trying to say sorry

it’s always so sad and ironic that michel ‘loves humans’ angelo never gets his *own* human friend in any of the shows/movies. and ik he has april and casey but he’s never really all that close with them. and in idw he has woody but we’re yet to see him in any iterations outside of the comics. and yeah mikey has the most friends (lh, mondo, napoleon, literally any and all the mutanimals) but BOY in whatever version of the turtles comes next they BETTER give him just one human friend and it better be woody >:(

#he just wants to be a part of their world :((((( OHHHHHHHHHHH #i like to think that whilst mikey LOVES his life and his brothers and his identity #dude probably wishes more than any of them to be ''normal''#he'd wanna go to school! and the mall! and watch the macys parade and be there when the ball drops on new years #(and not just watching it from a storm drain)#and in 2012 he did actually ask donnie if the retromutagen would turn them human and was lowkey disappointed when he said no...#poor mike huh #can u tell i love inflicting angst and pain and horrors onto my favorite boy #tmnt mikey #tmnt

i feel like i should clarify that i am neither a bear (gay man) nor a bear (ursus arctos) irl. i just borrow the pride flag for my tumblr icon because i think its funny for my bear (fursona?).

#bearvocalizations #i do not have many thoughts on fogg's gender/orientation. i think hes probably aroace like me #not bc he isnt capable of consent - just bc im not interested taking him that direction #i think fogg isnt super interested in queer identities either. he finds out theres a bear flag and hes like #'wow... for me? youre too kind'#and thats how he ends up with the bear flag in the mag pride parade #hes too busy doing hot girl shit (being the premier worshipper of his evil eye god) to think too hard about who he is #foggposting #for the character analysis in the tags

You know what would be fun? A bi for bi romance story where they meet at a pride event, but like one is a woman and one is a man and neither are that flagsignaling so even though they're both head over heals they kinda think the other must be gay. Because like we fall for our own identity's invisibility too. Bonus points if one of them heard the other call themself gay, and uses that as evidence to their exasperated queer friend, who's like "you literally called yourself gay half an hour ago, that doesn't mean she can't like you". Bonus points if at least one of them is very gnc.

Like I see a lot of this kind of hijinks in mlm and wlw stories were they're sure the other one is straight, but you could totally turn it on it's head.

#please someone steal this idea and run with it #like pride hijinks #they both end up as the main organizers for the pan/bi float at pride but don't end up seeing each other through a series of unfortunate #events meaning they only meet at other pride events where identities aren't clear until the parade #cue smooching #bisexual #pansexual #personlig

By: Debbie Hayton

Published: Oct 1, 2022

Last weekend was Birmingham Pride; I stayed away. England’s second city was my hometown for 26 years but—even as a trans person—I no longer feel welcome among the rainbow brigade. A lesbian friend did attend, but she took to Facebook to lament something lost: “Not sure why I'm sharing this, but on this Pride morning I don’t feel like I belong here anymore ... that it isn’t for ppl like me. Maybe it’s for the straights or others?”

Funny she said that. Elsewhere in my social media feed, a former neighbor posted, “If anyone is watching the Pride Parade, look out for me in the NHS block as I’m in a group representing the hospital.”

Now, I’m not one to second guess anyone’s sexual orientation, but that woman is married to a man and they have two grown-up children. So what was she doing at Pride? I don’t mean to be harsh on her; she was excited to be parading through the streets with her colleagues. Maybe I should be grateful for “straight allies” who are willing to stand up and be counted? But what has Pride become, and who exactly is it for now?

One thing is for sure, it’s no longer much of a protest. Indeed, anyone trying to mount a demonstration may well find themselves promptly ejected by the police. Over the border in Wales, a Lesbian group was told to leave Cardiff Pride after their banners—reading “trans activism erases lesbians” and “lesbians don’t like penises”—upset some transgender rights activists.

Maybe we need to look deeper into culture and society to understand why people flock to Pride? Human beings are social animals, and the present generation is much the same as those that preceded us. We can claim whatever we like about being self-sufficient individuals, but we evolved in tribes, groups and societies where social ostracism was practically synonymous with death. Because of this, we have evolved psychologies to avoid exile.

But while humans co-operate for mutual benefit, we also compete to pass on our genes. That is an uneasy balancing act, and one that needs more than logic to prevent it from toppling. Reason alone, for example, does not prevent murderers benefiting from their crimes. Stable societies are underpinned by moral codes but, to be effective, those codes need to work at an emotional level. It’s one thing to be called a bad person, quite something else to be traumatized by the accusation.

Religion has traditionally been the domain responsible for promoting such codes, and for many it still is. It is probably no coincidence that religious traditions blossomed with the advent of agriculture and the extension of private property. The message is clear: if you steal someone else’s crops—and perhaps kill them in the process—then God will see it. Even if you get away with it for now, judgement will still follow because you have sinned. Whether God exists or not is immaterial for religion’s effectiveness at producing social cohesion. All that matters is whether enough people think he does and whether they are bothered by the thought of being a bad person.

There is good reason why “God-shaped holes” might have evolved in us. Societies that feared God were more likely to keep their thieves and murderers in check. But in the West, at least, for better or worse, organised religion has lost its grip on society. Even where it persists, liberal traditions perpetuate the image of a God who understands rather than one who will rain down fire and brimstone on a sinful world. How many people in the US or the UK really care what God might think?

But those God-shaped holes are still there. We still have that innate need to be seen as good people, and that desire is unlikely to evolve out of our species any time soon. So, my former neighbor goes to Pride, because Pride checks the boxes. There is ritual, and there is tradition. Parades are public: simply being a good person is not enough, we need others to see we are good people. If that is insufficient, we post it on social media.

The churches—sorry, organizations—that organize, perpetuate, and benefit from Pride have their creeds and their commandments: Transwomen are Women, and Thou shalt not misgender. They collect donations (tithes?) from individuals and organizations to proselytize their gospel of equality, diversity and inclusion. They ask allies to express guilt for their original sin—straight or “cis”-privilege.

There is a special priestly class—the trans—that supposedly possesses some mysterious special knowledge about what it means to be human. With their claims of a special soul, or rather “gender identity,” they are revered and lauded. But only so long as they keep the faith. Some of us have seen through the ruse and rhetoric, and have publicly denounced it. We have become apostates, outlaws from the trans community on the run for heresy.

That’s why I don’t go to Pride. The last time I was there—in 2018—erstwhile acquaintances accused me of having caused hurt and upset. I was warned to stay among a group of friends I trusted, for my own “safety.” So much for diversity and inclusion; this was about conformity and exclusion of the dissident. Behind the rainbows and the sparkles, and the banners and the flags, there is a totalitarian mindset that demands compliance.

Why should anyone go to Pride? In the UK at least, gay and lesbian rights are secure: the age of consent has been equalized, and same-sex marriage is on the statute books while draconian laws have been repealed. Only the naïve would imagine that homophobia has been eradicated from society, but Pride parades will not change the minds of bigots. However, governments have already passed laws to address discrimination and criminalize hate.

Trans people enjoy similar protections in law. It is illegal to treat us less favorably in employment, housing, and the provision of goods and services. Transphobia is also considered an aggravating factor in hate crime legislation.

I do wonder why we were invited to Pride in the first place, and why we accepted. When I transitioned the goal for transsexuals was to re-integrate into society, not to parade our differences. Transition was not an end in itself, it was a step we took to reconcile ourselves to our bodies so that we could get on with what really mattered—living our lives.

But none of that matters to those who need to fill their God-shaped holes. A narrative has been created—trans people are the most vulnerable in society—and savior-rescuers eagerly jump in to satisfy their need to be recognized as good people.

That is their right, of course. I just wish they would consider who actually benefits.

==

Pride is now exclusively for straight people.

And large, cowardly corporations.

Hi. I am a bisexual female. I like boys and girls.

That's the first time I've so much as written those words without immediately erasing them. But I want to tell a story so here goes.

This isn't one of those magical realization stories. Last year on June first, I already knew I was bi. I was still coming to terms with and accepting it, but I knew. That day was the annual pride parade in my city. I didn't go, and I hardly knew it was happening until I was on my way home from school. The bussing system had sent out changes to the transportation for the day, but it didn't affect me so I didn't pay attention. I was on my bus home, and it was rush hour, so there were a lot of people. I managed to get a window seat, and a girl sat next to me. I didn't know her, and she didn't know me. I still don't know her, and she probably has no idea that I exist. But I remember her. Because she got on the bus and sat next to me with a bisexual pride flag tied on like a cape.

I didn't say anything to her, but I watched her. (Hopefully not in a creepy way.) This was just as I was accepting something huge about myself. I had told no one I was even thinking about it, and I hadn't really considered that there were others like me. Not really. But here I was, on what was a completely normal day for me, sitting on my bus to go home and seeing a flag that at the time meant everything to me.

It's been a year since then, and not much has changed on that front. I haven't come out to anyone, and I wasn't at the parade three days ago, but I have completely accepted my sexuality. I know this might seem like a small moment, and admittedly it was, but I can't get it out of my head. I think it would have been a completely different scenario if she had just had a regular pride flag. But she didn't.

I don't really know where I was going with this, or how to end the post, so I'm just gonna end it with a thank you to a girl who doesn't know I exist, and who probably will never read this. You helped me see that I wasn't alone. Thank you

We need to take the phrase “historical queer subtext” away from people talking about a robot majoritively written by homophobic straight Cis white men (and msc*tt) over the years

RIGHT LIKE. WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING A SUBJECT INEXTRICABLY LINKED WITH OUR COMMUNITY we are talking about a robot from a tv show that screeches and cowers every few episodes that lots of people thought were funny because that sort of portfolio fed into preconceived notions of lgbt people CMAN

#mail #the coding is undeniable but why do you wish to parade it around like a win for our rights #seeing yourself in the character and that being your first step to carving out and reclaiming your identity #is wholly different than like. Boy Starscream = Gay Icon! Girl Starscream = BOOOOO!!!! if that makes sense
