The other day I went to the wedding of the son of a good friend of mine and one of the bridesmaids (I think it was the bride's cousin) was a manly looking woman with short purple hair that honestly made me wonder if she wrote for the Mary Sue, Star Wars, or worked for a video game company or Marvel/DC.
The actual ceremony was no more than 25 minutes and I couldn't help wondering why she couldn't just wear a dress (of course she dressed like a dude and stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the other bridesmaids) for that little bit of time. I said a prayer for her because she is young and maybe one day she will realize that she looks silly trying to act like a man.
I remember when I still worked in HR the first time I came across the phrase "gender non conforming" or "doesn't conform to traditional gender roles". This was like 07 so I didn't think anything of it, but I never would've imagined it would get as insane as it has.
I hate to be a downer, but it seems like it's only accelerating. It used to take years to get to "I never imagined it would get this insane," now it's months or even weeks. I don't think it's sustainable, mind you, and sanity will prevail, so this isn't a total black pill. But, yeah, despite how insane things are...we haven't seen anything yet. The spiral is getting faster and tighter. The cognitive dissonance and general insanity is getting much higher, and the cult is getting more bold and bizarre.
I've said it a few times, but we've reached "Sex itself isn't real" points. Same goes for race. They used to deny reality, but kind of skirt around what they were doing with cute cutouts and excuses. Now they're just making shit up and saying we have to believe it. They've thrown subtlety to the wind. "Male" and "female" are "social constructs" now. They'd already put their foot in the door with their "assigned at birth" poison, but now they're wedging the door open. It's insane but, as I said, ultimately unsustainable.
I also used to think all this woke stuff was just silly college students and they would grow up once they got out of college. Another area I was wrong. My biggest error in judgement was after the 08 presidential election. I was talking to my mom the morning after and while we both supported McCain, we agreed that the one silver lining would be that black people would stop whining. Yes, I can hear everyone laughing already.
To be clear, when I say this isn't sustainable, I'm not saying it will cleanly or magically go away, just that I think people are souring on it a bit, and the tide is turning. It will get worse before it gets better, but I do believe it will get better.
Yeah, I chuckled a bit. This is one of the reasons - aside from it just being stupid - that I'm against things like reparations and amnesty; there's no end point. It would be one thing if it was one and done. "We paid you off for that whole slavery thing, racism is over. The slate is clean." That would be one thing. But that's not how it plays out. Same goes for amnesty; it would be one thing to give everyone that meets certain criteria amnesty...and close the fucking border. But we can't do that either. So these things that get proposed as "solutions" simply aren't. We already did amnesty!
Various groups have been coached and fully embraced victimhood mentality and status. Until they fix their beliefs, women/blacks/immigrants/etc. will not ever be happy, no matter what is given to them, what concessions made. And it should go without saying, but #NotAll of course. Probably especially "immigrant" as that is an incredibly broad group with a less cohesive identity, plenty of which are the "hard working immigrant" trope. But without a change in mindset, it doesn't matter how many millions of dollar you gave to each "marginalized" person; they'd still whine about racism or sexism or whatever, because it's all they know how to do.
Yea with reparations I can guarantee you the whining would just get louder about it not being enough. As for immigration, you can’t even say that assimilation is the goal.
Heck, I think we've already seen that. To be fair, I don't think it was from the recipients, but whenever some city overflowing with wokeness does their take on reparations, the media jumps on it being a "good start," or "not going far enough," or what have you. It's painful.
Very true. And one thing that never ceases to amaze me is that you have blacks today who sound like they were slaves in 1800s or talk about generational trauma and nobody is allowed to simply ask them to explain how they are feeling pain today from something abolished in 1860s
Slavery was paid for by the folks that died to end it. It was paid a long time ago, you are 100% correct that they will never stop
One of the factors is that the scientific establishment is entirely weak or complicit. The queers have subverted enough of academia that they can always quote some "expert" or study that claims to support their position, which the media amplifies to claim that us chuds are anti-science, after having conditioned the public for decades to "trust the experts". They spout plenty of mystical bullshit too but when challenged they shift back across the moat to some position apparently defensible by research. (usually from fellow queers in the "soft sciences", and often via misrepresenting conclusions) Without that appeal to authority to fall back on I'm sure they'd try another method of control but it would be that much harder.
In other words we have a fundamental flaw in modern society and its epistemology/acquisition of truth, rather than a simple overton window shift that can be solved by shifting the other way.
The most pathetic part of this isn't her doing that as a general act.
Its what she felt the need to get as much attention as possible on someone else's day. She was there for her (I assume) friend's supposed most important day possible, and it still needed to be about her and give her attention.
So even if you didn't have an opinion on her outfit, she is still an awful person and should be condemned and shamed endlessly.
Agreed
The attention she got for standing out like that is the reason she started. In a world where all of these NPCs have no way to be individuals via thought and opinion, only identity is left to them to be unique. (even though it's not. it's superficial)
So, as long as you hold dear the One True Opinion and block out all other viewpoints, the only way to pretend to be an individual is nonsense like this. It's how to maintain cognitive dissonance / willful ignorance.
I've always felt that people with lots of tattoos, piercings, or "unique" hair colors are just showing the world that their individuality is only skin deep.
Add clothes to that list as well.
If you need weird clothes to "express" yourself, you don't have anything worth expressing.
Interesting clothes can be fun, in moderation. Agreed on not making it your personality or a crutch, but having some unusual fashion can be fun.
Its even less than that. Most of them get them as a masochistic dopamine hit to counter thier depression.
Girls like it are constantly posting "need a new tattoo" everytime they get sad because it gives them that temporary relief from their own pathetic existence. Same with the holes and dyes.
The appearance change is just a secondary benefit, the bigger purpose is the needle and bleach giving them pain and a feeling of "rebellious taboo" that keeps the darkness away for another day.
Or talent.
It used to be that one could develop a skill like drawing or guitar or something and feel special or even be special to your close friends or spouse.
Now it's like oh you can play guitar? Here's a guy on youtube that can play two different Clapton songs simultaneously on one guitar while answering chat.
The people that still try to learn a skill or a talent because they just want to master something still feel good about themselves because they've accomplished something, but most people that just wanted to be special don't even try and feel even more pathetic for it.
Back when we were in villages of 200 or even a few thousand, it was quite easy to be the best at something. Everyone had a valued skill
Social media is a poison.
I was fine with the "we just want to be left alone" mentality. Now I see articles justifying the over representation of lgbt
You might have wanted to be left alone.
They never did.
Or the “we just wanna get married crowd”
It was always a wedge to open the door to enforced degeneracy. If a society doesn't enforce taboos and obligations it doesn't exist, and something else WILL replace it.
My friend who thinks he's a woman looks pretty ridiculous in a dress. Especially since he's 6'+ and probably 220+ pounds.
I've known him for over 20 years, and if I could go back to when we met and tell him one day he'd start wearing dresses and act like a woman and that this would all be considered perfectly normal, he'd probably think I was crazy.
It's sad but we've lost the culture war.
Yea. I’ve accepted that. I was told by a young relative that I’m stuck in the 80s/90s. I said thanks.
It was a pretty awesome time.
Still pre-occupied with 1985

"Yes"
Love that song!
And it's old enough it's about us now!
Exactly
No, because our enemies are pants-on-head retarded.
They control a ton of territory, but they haven't won yet.
The enemy's footsoldiers are certainly retarded. The ones ultimately holding the purse strings behind the cult front may be at least semi-competent.
They just have no moral compunction against luring idiots into a self-destructive cult just to use as cost effective cannon fodder.
You are more white pilled than me.
Most people have the decency to control their ego not to do anything to steal the limelight from the couple.
But gender denying fools have proven time and again they are far less decent than most people.
It'll end when they stop getting attention for it.
Anyone who tries F to M quickly realizes no one pays attention to males.
Not wearing the wedding party dress is a pretty faggy thing to do for a bridesmaid, but faggots gonna fag. I wouldn't dwell on it.
I just found it sad. Said a prayer for her so I hope she accepts who she actually is one day
