Here, I largely refer to the tranny situation, and the LBTQ++++---- movement more broadly, but it applies to other things as well, as I will go into.
Look, trannies exist. Gender dysphoria is a real thing, even if I... Think that reclassifying it as "not a mental illness" was a definite mistake. Anyway, that's all fine, though I do find the explosion of... "Trans teens", particularly of the FTM variety, particularly in the last... 5 years or so, to be rather disturbing.
What I really despise, though, is how the media focuses on the inner lives, and niche opinions, of a tiny, tiny subset of the population. Trannies make up a tiny portion of the Alphabet Soup, nonbinary even less. And the alphabet soup itself has been chronically overestimated as a proportion of the population, due almost entirely to media saturation...
Most people are straight. The VAST majority of those who are not, are a) under 30, and b) bi. And again, a very significant proportion of that is, in no small part, due to social contagion, "experimentation", and, once again, media saturation. Hell, even most "famous people"/celebs are also straight, but looking at the fucking media, you would never guess, because, hmm, who gets the most attention again?
This is what frustrates me, then. These people are the loudest. They scream, and yell, and whine for attention, offline, but mostly online, and the fucking media gives it to them in spades. Looking at the TV now, even looking at ADS, even in fucking Australia of all places, you would think that some 20% of the population, at least, were some form of queer, and an even larger proportion were in some sort of "mixed race" relationship, because that is a large part, now, of what we see spat back at us.
This isn't representative. At all. Hell, the proportions I discussed above MIGHT apply in, say, the Anglosphere (US, mostly), and other bits of Western Europe, but in a larger part of the world, they're probably barely a fifth of that, even including those in the closet...
This is just so... Tiresome. I'm tired of hearing about the need for further "gay rights" in the West. I'm tired of the need for "all gender bathrooms" and "decolonising queer vaginas". I'm so fucking over it. But that is so much of what the media, even the supposed "news" media/serious journalism, down here, talks about, that it is just... Very hard to get away from, at this point. And then, of course, you have fucking Reddit, and Fuckbook, and worst of all Twitter shivers ...
Anyway, those are just my thoughts. A lot of you seemed to appreciate my previous writings, so, as demoralised as I am by it all, I thought I might write this out, somewhere where, unlike Reddit, I wouldn't immediately get banned for doing so. Would honestly appreciate your thoughts on the sitch. Cheers.
Unfortunately this is the state we are in. I may be wrong but I think UK had 1.6% gay and lesbian population and a top of 4.4% including those that refused to answer and the "bisexual" girls that only date guys. I think a statistic in Canada in 2014 was putting 3.0% of population as LGBT.
Now the huge problem comes from the younger population that have abnormal high percentage of LGBT individuals, something between 10%-20%. This is a huge spike.
If society was to become more acceptant we would see a regular increase across ages that come out as LGBT, especially in surveys . So what the fuck is going on, I find it very scary that a conversion process from straight to gay is possible.
Anyway, back yo your point. It is a normal process today, minority group threatens industry to include them, first representation in the media and then representation in the creative process. Once in they push their own agenda. When a straight guy will try to create a good movie, he would worry about plot, if the characters are believable and relatable, if it is enjoyable, stuff like that. An LGBTIAQP2S+ individual will write a fan fiction about him/her/xer/zim in order to feel validated.
Hence I barely watch movies that are made after 2014.
I was thinking the same thing, that they made it so convenient to be a sexual minority, especially if you are white, so now everyone wants to be one. LGBTQPIA2S+ (actual acronym by the way) are using this statistics to inflate their numbers. If this is correct then we would see a decrease of gay/ lesbians once it is no longer cool to be one.
However part of me is scared that this number are real.
This is due to a number of factors, but I place most of the blame on queer theory (the gay equivalent to CRT) and Hollywood's promotion of homosexuality.
With regard to queer theory, you see this in the number of new BS alphabet categories. For example, see demisexual. "Demisexual people only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond with the person." You know what that's called? Being fucking normal. Lots of people don't like casual sex or one night stands. I know I don't. But I'd never call myself that because the category is stupid.
Another example is non-binary. Queer theory posits that to be a man you must be super masculine who does traditionally male things and to be a woman, you must be super feminine and do traditionally female things. Therefore, if you fit neither definition, you must be non-binary. A girl who would have been called a tomboy in years past is not suddenly non-binary.
This is the insidiousness of queer theory. If you are normal, you are queer. If you are non-traditional, you are also queer. And that's not even getting into all the other letters of the alphabet.
Then Hollywood signal boosts the above queer theory nonsense in order to make it trendy. So confused young people without good parents or role models fall into this crap.
